This paper is concerned with workload minimization in re-entrant lines with exponential service times and preemptive control policies. Using a numerical algorithm called the power...
The Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem is a variation of the well known Traveling Salesman Problem in which the set of nodes is divided into clusters; the objective is to find...
In this paper, we develop an acyclic network of queues for the design of a dynamic flow shop, where each service station represents a machine. The orders arrive at the input stati...

Energy, a fundamental entity of modern life, is usually produced using fossil fuels as the primary raw material. A consequence of burning fossil fuels is the emission of environme...
Sensitivity analyses have long been used to assess the impacts of uncertainties on outcomes of decision models. Several approaches have been suggested, but it has been problematic...
In this study, we deal with the robotic cell scheduling problem with two machines and identical parts. In an ideal FMS, CNC machines are capable of performing all the required ope...
This paper studies the duality gap in the simple plant location problem, and presents general formulas for the gap when certain complementary slackness conditions are satisfied. W...
