IIE Transactions archives from February 2003
On discrete lot streaming in no-wait flow shops.
February 1, 2003... Lot streaming is the process of splitting a job or lot to allow overlapping between successive operations in a multistage production system. This use of transfer lots usually results in a substantially shorter makespan for the corresponding...
Practical solution approaches to solve a hierarchical stochastic production planning problem in a flexible automated workshop in China.
February 1, 2003... This paper deals with a Hierarchical Stochastic Production Planning (HSPP) problem of Flexible Automated Workshops (FAWs), each with a number of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs). The problem includes not only the standard (demand, capacity...
A two-echelon inventory system with supply lead time flexibility.
February 1, 2003... The impact of manufacturing flexibility on inventory investments in a distribution network consisting of a central depot and a number of local stockpoints is investigated. The lead time of outstanding orders in the pipeline of the central depot...
Balancing desirable but conflicting objectives in the newsvendor problem.
February 1, 2003... In this paper we study the problem of balancing two desirable but conflicting objectives in the newsvendor model. The standard objective in the newsvendor model is the expected profit maximization. Another objective (known as the...
Agent-based project scheduling: computational study of large problems.
February 1, 2003... We present in this paper the results of a computational study for project scheduling based on new ideas for project representation taken from dicient frontier, for larger values of c the distance increases.
The sensitivity analysis results...
Optimal on-line algorithms for scheduling on parallel batch processing machines.
February 1, 2003... We consider the problem of scheduling jobs on-line on parallel batch processing machines with dynamic job arrivals to minimize makespan. We are given m identical batch processing machines, each of which can handle up to B (the capacity of a...
An efficient heuristic approach for parallel machine scheduling with job splitting and sequence-dependent setup times.
February 1, 2003... In this paper, we consider a simplified real-life identical parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times and job splitting to minimize makespan. We propose a heuristic to solve this problem. Our method is composed of...
