A fuzzy multicriteria generation expansion planning model
(Inderscience Publishers, 2011)In this paper, we present a fuzzy multi-objective model for power generation expansion planning problem with uncertainty in objective functions and demand balance constraints. The purpose of the fuzzy generation expansion ... -
A toll pricing framework for traffic assignment problems with elastic demand
(Springer, 2001-12)This paper extends the notion of toll pricing and the toll pricing framework previously developed for fixed demand traffic assignment [4, 13] to the problem with elastic demand. The system problem maximizes net benefit to ... -
Allocation of component types to machines in the automated assembly of printed circuit boards
(Academy Publisher, 2007-09)Although the use of electronic component placement machines has brought reliability and speed to the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly process, to get higher utilization, one needs to solve the resulting complex operations ... -
An ant colony optimization algorithm for load balancing in parallel machines with sequence dependent setup times
(Elsevier, 2010)This study introduces the problem of minimizing average relative percentage of imbalance (ARPI) with sequence-dependent setup times in a parallel-machine environment. A mathematical model that minimizes ARPI is proposed. ... -
Designing a global multi-disciplinary classroom: a learning experience in supply chain logistics Management
(2006-04-12)Global competition has created multinational supply chains where raw materials production, marketing, and consumption can be in different countries in order to achieve cost-effective production and higher customer service ... -
Dispatching rules for allocation of component types to machines in the automated assembly of printed circuit boards
(Springer Verlag, 2006)In this paper, we propose a model and algorithms to solve a load balancing problem on a printed circuit board assembly line. On this line of two identical machines, the problem of allocation of component types to ... -
Effectiveness of capacity rationing heuristics in make to order environment
(Inderscience Publishers, 2015)This paper investigates the effectiveness of a dynamic capacity-rationing heuristic for order acceptance and rejection in a capacitated make-to-order manufacturing environment. The heuristics developed for managing capacity ... -
A first best toll pricing framework for variable demand traffic assignment problems
(Elsevier, 2005)In this paper, we present a toll pricing framework for a general variable demand traffic assignment problem with side constraints, where the demand between an origin destination pair is a function of the least total travel ... -
A framework to minimise total energy consumption and total tardiness on a single machine
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)A great amount of energy is wasted in industry by machines that remain idle due to underutilisation. A way to avoid wasting energy and thus reducing the carbon print of an industrial plant is to consider minimisation ... -
Hospital patient-care and outside-the-hospital energy profiles for hemodialysis services: report of two cases
(John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2015-06)Studies investigated the patient-care (in-hospital) and outside-the-hospital energy consumptions for delivering the hemodialysis (HD) service. A life cycle inventory methodology was used for this patient-based analysis for ... -
Impact of commitment, information sharing, and information usage on supplier performance: a Bayesian belief network approach
(Springer Nature, 2019-12-19)Due to the proliferation of information systems and technology, supply chains have the capability of acquiring an enormous amount of supplier data in their databases. However, much of the useful supplier-specific insights ... -
Improvement in 316L steel surface features, corrosion and biocompatibility through novel CNT-assisted hydroxyapatite powder mixed-EDM process
(Springer Link, 2023-06-22)Although coating the biomaterials with hydroxyapatite powder (HAp) mixed electro discharge machining (EDM) is required to improve their biological responses, the modified 316L stainless steel shows a low coating adhesion ... -
Integrated maintenance and production planning with energy consumption and minimal repair
(Springer, 2014-10)In this study, we analyze an integrated production-preventive maintenance planning problem where product processing times are affected by machine degradation. Preventive maintenance and repair can return the degraded ... -
Investigation of coated 316L steel surface: Surface morphology, composition, corrosion, and biocompatibility using hydroxyapatite mixed-EDM process
(Elsevier B.V., 2023-08-25)316L stainless steel belongs to insufficient biological responses and corrosion resistance. Although hydroxyapatite powder (HAp)-based coating improves biological responses and corrosion resistance of the 316L stainless ... -
Key initiatives to improve the machining characteristics of Inconel-718 alloy: Experimental analysis and optimization
(Elsevier, 2022-11-03)Inconel 718 is a heat-resistant Ni-based superalloy widely used, particularly, in aircraft and aero-engineering applications. It has poor machinability due to its unique thermal and mechanical properties. For this reason, ... -
Machine number, priority rule, and due date determination in flexible manufacturing systems using artificial neural networks
(Elsevier, 2006-05-11)When there is a production system with excess capacity, i.e. more capacity than the demand for the foreseeable future, upper management might consider utilizing only a portion of the available capacity by decreasing the ... -
A model for the multiperiod multiobjective power generation expansion problem
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2007-05-02)A long-term multiobjective model for the power generation expansion planning of electric systems is described and evaluated in this paper. The model optimizes simultaneously multiple objectives (i.e., minimizes costs, ... -
A multiobjective evolutionary programming algorithm and its applications to power generation expansion planning
(IEEE, 2009-09)The generation expansion planning (GEP) problem is defined as the problem of determining WHAT, WHEN, and WHERE new generation units should be installed over a planning horizon to satisfy the expected energy demand. This ... -
