When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance.A well-known example for such a cas...
Both the material usage and the complexity of the cutting process should be considered in generating cutting patterns. This paper presents an exact algorithm for constrained two-d...
This work is concerned with the efficient design of a reverse logistics network using an extended version of models currently found in the literature. Those traditional, basic mo...
This paper presents an algorithm for the unconstrained two-dimensional cutting problem of rectangular pieces. It proposes the two-stage general block pattern that can be cut into ...
This paper deals with the generation of minimal risk paths for the road transportation of hazardous materials between an origin–destination pair of a given regional area. The ma...
