An application of capacitated lot-sizing model in petroleum sector
(Bilkent University, 2006)In this thesis, we study capacitated lot-sizing problem with special feature, applicable to the petroleum refinery sector. In our model, the end-products should be stored in item-specific and capacitated storage tanks ... -
A comparative study of computational procedures for resource constrained project scheduling problem
(Bilkent University, 1991)Customarily, the project sclheduling problem is thought in the context of PERT and CPM. Although widely used and powerful, these techniques do not take into account a basic feature of the problem, that is resource limitations. ... -
Computational analysis of the search based cuts on the multidimensional 0-1 knapsack problem
(Bilkent University, 2003)In this thesis, the potential use of a recently proposed cut (the search based cut) for 0-1 programming problems by Oguz (2002) is analyzed. For this purpose, the search based cuts and a new algorithm based on the search ... -
Data analytics in stock markets
(Bilkent University, 2019-06)One of the important strategies that is employed in finance is data analytics. Data Analytics is the science of investigating raw data with intention of drawing meaningful information and useful conclusions. Recently, ... -
Discrete location models for content distribution
(Bilkent University, 2005)The advances in information and computer technology has tremendously eased the way to reach electronic information. This, however, also brought forth many problems regarding the distribution of electronic content. This ... -
An exact algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with backhauls
(Bilkent University, 2001)We consider the Vehicle Routing Problem with Backhauls, in which a eet of vehicles located at a central depot is to be used to serve a set of customers partitioned into two subsets of linehaul and backhaul customers. ... -
Facility location decisions under vehicle routing considerations
(Bilkent University, 2002)Over the past few decades, the concept of integrated logistics system has emerged as a new management philosophy, which aims to increase distribution efficiency. Such a concept recognizes the interdependence among the ... -
A goal-programming model for Turkish Army promotion and manpower planning system
(Bilkent University, 2000)In the Turkish Army, officers are promoted to a higher rank automatically after they complete the period specified for their ranks. Currently, the number of officers on duty is sufficient to fill approximately 70 % of ... -
An integer programming based algorithm for the resource constrained project scheduling problem
(Bilkent University, 2005)In this thesis, we study the problem of scheduling the activities of a single project in order for all resource and precedence relationships constraints to be satisfied with an objective of minimizing the project completion ... -
A Lagrangian Heuristic for a Variant of Capacitated Facility Location with Single Source Constarints
(Bilkent University, 2006)Facility location problems (FLP) are extensively studied in the literature in the context of supply chain management. Wide variety of real life situations are analyzed and modeled using techniques developed for FLP. In ... -
Modeling and optimization of Central Ring Transportation System (CRTS) in Turkish Land Forces
(Bilkent University, 2003)This thesis shows how Turkish Land Forces can optimally meet delivery and pick-up demands of its units via Central Ring Transportation System. A mixed integer programming model is proposed, and for the implementation of ... -
Modeling location-allocation of military items to the depots without branch classification
(Bilkent University, 2002) -
Optimization of gendarmerie posts' main supply roads via regional ring transportation system
(Bilkent University, 2004)The aim of this study is to find the optimum distances traveled by the vehicles distributing goods to the military units, belonging to a command center, in one day and the appropriate fleet types and sizes for each ... -
Optimization of locating logistic supply coordination centers (LSCC) of Turkish land forces in an earthquake region
(Bilkent University, 2003)This research aims at finding the optimum location of Military Logistic Supply Coordination Centers (LSCC) that are established by Turkish Land Forces for gathering and distributing the logistic supply materials among ... -
Solution of feasibility problems via non-smooth optimization
(Bilkent University, 1990)In this study we present a penalty function approach for linear feasibility problems. Our attempt is to find an eiL· coive algorithm based on an exterior method. Any given feasibility (for a set of linear inequalities) ... -
Terrain visibility and guarding problems
(Bilkent University, 2017-10)Watchtowers are located on terrains to detect fires, military units are deployed to watch the terrain to prevent infiltration, and relay stations are placed such that no dead zone is present on the terrain to maintain ...
