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 ... -
A neuro-genetic approach to design and planning of a manufacturing cell
(Springer Verlag, 2005)In this paper, we propose a neuro-genetic decision support system coupled with simulation to design a job shop manufacturing system by achieving predetermined values of targeted performance measures such as flow time, ... -
A new dominance rule for the total weighted tardiness problem
(Taylor & Francis, 1999)We present a new dominance rule for the single machine total weighted tardiness problem with job dependent penalties. The proposed dominance rule provides a su cient condition for local optimality. We show that if any ... -
A new lower bounding scheme for the total weighted tardiness problem
(Elsevier, 1998)We propose a new dominance rule that provides a sufficient condition for local optimality for the 1∥∑wiTi problem. We prove that if any sequence violates the proposed dominance rule, then switching the violating jobs ... -
Operational methods for minimization of energy consumption of manufacturing equipment
(Taylor & Francis, 2007-05)This paper develops operational methods for the minimization of the energy consumption of manufacturing equipment. It is observed that there can be a significant amount of energy savings when non-bottleneck (i.e. ... -

(Inderscience, 2007)In this paper, we study the problem of minimizing total completion time with load balancing and sequence dependent setups in a non-identical parallel machine environment. A mathematical model has been presented for ... -
Scheduling Continuous Aluminium Casting Lines
(Taylor & Francis, 2008-10-15)This study considers the problem of scheduling casting lines of an aluminium casting and processing plant. In aluminium processing plants, continuous casting lines are the bottleneck resources, i.e. factory throughput ... -
