We consider a supply chain design problem where the decision maker needs to decide the number and locations of the distribution centers (DCs). Customers face random demand, and ea...
The paper proposes a preventive maintenance (PM) planning model for the performance improvement of cellular manufacturing systems (CMS) in terms of machine reliability, and resour...
The contribution presents a heuristic for the three-dimensional strip packing problem (3D-SPP) with rectangular pieces (boxes). The considered 3D-SPP can be formulated as follows:...
Performance evaluation of complex systems is a critical issue and bounds computation provides confidence about service quality, reliability, etc. of such systems. The stochastic ...
In this paper, we develop new heuristic procedures for the maximum diversity problem (MDP). This NPhard problem has a significant number of practical applications such as environm...
