Integrated planning and scheduling with due dates in corrugated board boxes industry
(American Chemical Society, 2013-01)
An integrated approach that solves the cutting stock problem and scheduling is considered in this article. The main challenging characteristics of this problem are given by its combinatorial nature, as well as the ...
A monolithic approach to vehicle routing and operations scheduling of a cross-dock system with multiple dock doors
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
Cross-docking is a logistic strategy for moving goods from suppliers to customers via a cross-dock terminal with no permanent storage. The operational planning of a cross-dock facility involves different issues such as ...
Traffic-aware contact plan design for disruption-tolerant space sensor networks
(Elsevier Science, 2016-09)
Delay and disruption tolerant networks (DTNs) are becoming an appealing solution for extending Internet boundaries across challenged network environments. In particular, if node mobility can be predicted as in space sensor ...
MILP-based clustering method for multi-objective optimization: Application to environmental problems
(Elsevier, 2013-09)
Multi-objective optimization (MOO) has recently emerged as a useful technique in environmental engineering. One major limitation of this approach is that its computational burden grows rapidly with the number of environmental ...
A hybrid scheduling approach for automated flowshops with material handling and time constraints
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-01)
Flowshop scheduling problems have been extensively studied by several authors using different approaches. A typical flowshop process consists of successive manufacturing stages arranged in a single production line where ...
An MILP model for planning of batch plants operating in a campaign-mode
(Springer, 2017-11)
A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) for the detailed production planning of multiproduct batch plants is presented in this work. New timing decisions are incorporated to the model taking into account that an operation ...
An analytics approach to the FIFA ranking procedure and the World Cup final draw
(Springer New York LLC, 2019)
This paper analyzes the procedure used by FIFA up until 2018 to rank national football teams and define by random draw the groups for the initial phase of the World Cup finals. A predictive model is calibrated to form a ...
Local search based metaheuristics for the robust vehicle routing problem with discrete scenarios
(Applied Soft Computing, 2015-07)
The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is extended here to handle uncertain arc costs without resorting to probability distributions, giving the Robust VRP (RVRP). The unique set of arc costs in the CVRP is replaced ...
Heuristic Approaches for the Robust Vehicle Routing Problem
(Combinatorial Optimization, 2014-07-22)
In this article, the Robust Vehicle Routing Problem (RVRP) with uncertain traveling costs is studied. It covers a number of important applications in urban transportation and large scale bio-terrorism emergency. The uncertain ...
Optimal royalty rate for coal mining in Colombia: and empirical analysis
(Universidad EAFITMaestría en EconomíaEscuela de Economía y Finanzas, 2014)
Revenue mobilization is one of the most important restrictions for economic growth in middle and low-income countries, given the high dependence on natural resources -- Colombia is not an exception, and in fact, the current ...
