The role of repair strategy in warranty cost minimization: an investigation via quasi-renewal processes
(Elsevier, 2009)Most companies seek efficient rectification strategies to keep their warranty related costs under control. This study develops and investigates different repair strategies for one- and two-dimensional warranties with the ... -
Routing and scheduling decisions in the hierarchical hub location problem
(Elsevier, 2017)Hubs are facilities that consolidate and disseminate flow in many-to-many distribution systems. The hub location problem considers decisions that include the locations of hubs in a network and the allocations of demand ... -
Routing and scheduling decisions in the hierarchical hub location problem
(Elsevier, 2014)Hubs are facilities that consolidate and disseminate flow in many-to-many distribution systems. The hub location problem considers decisions that include the locations of hubs in a network and also the allocations of the ... -
Routing-based reactive scheduling policies for machine failures in job shops
(Taylor & Francis, 2001)A scheduling and control system can be viewed as a vital component of modern manufacturing systems that determines companies’ overall performance in their respective supply chains. This paper studies reactive scheduling ... -
Satisfying due-dates in a job shop with sequence-dependent family set-ups
(Taylor & Francis, 2003)This paper addresses job shop scheduling with sequence dependent family set-ups. Based on a simple, single-machine dynamic scheduling problem, state dependent scheduling rules for the single machine problem are developed ... -
Satisfying due-dates in the presence of sequence dependent family setups with a special comedown structure
(Elsevier, 2007-12-22)This paper addresses a static, n-job, single-machine scheduling problem with sequence dependent family setups. The setup matrix follows a special structure where a constant setup is required only if a job from a smaller ... -
Scheduling beams with different priorities on a military surveillance radar
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2012)The problem of scheduling the searching, verification, and tracking tasks of a ground based, three-dimensional military surveillance radar is studied. Although the radar is mechanically steered in the sense that a ... -
Scheduling for non regular performance measure under the due window approach
(Elsevier, 1999)In the last two decades, Just-In-Time (JIT) production has proved to be an essential requirement of world class manufacturing. This has made schedulers most concerned about the realization of a JIT environment. The JIT ... -
Scheduling in a three-machine flexible robotic cell
(IFAC, 2006)In this study, a three-machine flexible robotic manufacturing cell in which the CNC machines are used is considered. These machines are highly flexible and are capable of performing several different operations. Each machine ... -
Scheduling in a three-machine robotic flexible manufacturing cell
(Elsevier, 2007)In this study, we consider a flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) processing identical parts on which the loading and unloading of machines are made by a robot. The machines used in FMCs are predominantly CNC machines and ... -
Scheduling in robotic cells: process flexibility and cell layout
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)The focus of this study is the identical parts robotic cell scheduling problem with m machines under the assumption of process and operational flexibility. A direct consequence of this assumption is a new robot move cycle ... -
Scheduling of automated guided vehicles in a decision making hierarchy
(Taylor & Francis, 1996)Scheduling efforts made without considering the special limitations of the material handling system might lead to infeasible results. An analytical model is proposed, first, to incorporate the automated guided vehicle (AGV) ... -
Scheduling parallel CNC machines with time/cost trade-off considerations
(Elsevier, 2007)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 case that this paper specifically deals with ... -
Scheduling preventive maintenance on a single CNC machine
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)In this study we attempt to deal with process planning, scheduling and preventive maintenance (PM) decisions, simultaneously. The objective is to minimize the total completion time of a set of jobs on a CNC machine. During ... -
Scheduling with neural networks: A review of the literature and new research directtions
(Taylor & Francis, 1998)Artificial neural networks ( ANNs) attempt to emulate the massively parallel and distributed processing of the human brain. They are being examined for a variety of problems that have been di cult to solve with current ... -
Scheduling with tool changes to minimize total completion time under controllable machining conditions
(Elsevier, 2007-07)Scheduling under controllable machining conditions has been studied for some time. Scheduling with tool changes, particularly due to tool wear, has just begun to receive attention. Though machining conditions impact tool ... -
Scheduling with tool changes to minimize total completion time: a study of heuristics and their performance
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2003)The machine scheduling literature does not consider the issue of tool change. The parallel literature on tool management addresses this issue but assumes that the change is due only to part mix. In practice, however, a ... -
Scheduling with tool changes to minimize total completion time: basic results and SPT performance
(Elsevier, 2004-09-16)We consider a single machine sequencing problem subject to tool wear, where the objective is to minimize the total completion time. We briefly describe the problem and discuss its properties, complexity and solution. ... -
A search method for optimal control of a flow shop system of traditional machines
(Elsevier, 2010)We consider a convex and nondifferentiable optimization problem for deterministic flow shop systems in which the arrival times of the jobs are known and jobs are processed in the order they arrive. The decision variables ... -
Selective vehicle routing for a mobile blood donation system
(Elsevier, 2015)In this study, a mobile blood collection system is designed with the primary objective of increasing blood collection levels. This design also takes into account operational costs to aim for collection of large amounts of ...
