IIE Transactions archives from November 2004
A continuous-time algorithm for disaggregation of hierarchical production plans.
November 1, 2004... 1. Introduction
Aggregate production planning and production plan disaggregation have two purposes. Aggregate planning attempts to maximize total profit or minimize total cost while considering decision variables such as production levels,...
Dynamic allocation of communicating tasks in computational grids.
November 1, 2004... 1. Introduction
Computational resources are commonly used in solving a number of engineering and scientific problems. However, the capacity/speed of affordable computational resources remains inadequate for a variety of large-scale...
A flow metamodel for delivery agents over a spatial area.
November 1, 2004... 1. Introduction
In the days of non-computerized animation, paths of flocks or herds of animals were scripted, or placed frame-by-frame according to the whim of the animator. In the late 1980s, the scripting paradigm changed due to advances...
Simulation optimization: a comprehensive review on theory and applications.
November 1, 2004... 1. Introduction
With the continuing developments in computer technology, simulation is receiving increasing attention as a decision-making tool. Most real-world systems are so complex that computing values of performance measures and...
Strategic inventory deployment in the steel industry.
November 1, 2004... 1. Introduction
Industries in which products are highly customized tend to operate primarily according to a Make-To-Order (MTO) policy. However, it is frequently the case that some proportion of the production is planned according to a...
A scale model for fitting object shapes from fixed location data.
November 1, 2004... 1. Model and interpretation
Shape and size have tremendous influence when designing objects, equipment, and tools to fit people. Some consumer products can be bought in different sizes. When these different products of one commodity retain...
Improving scheduling robustness via preprocessing and dynamic adaptation.
November 1, 2004... 1. Introduction
We study scheduling robustness in a production environment where frequent changes and disturbances in shop conditions are to be expected. These uncertain events complicate the role of production scheduling since two...
A Benders-based heuristic for the robust capacitated international sourcing problem.
November 1, 2004... 1. Introduction
The international sourcing problem consists of selecting a subset of suppliers from an available set of potential suppliers located internationally. The selected suppliers must meet the demand for items of a set of plants,...
Accounting for input-model and input-parameter uncertainties in simulation.
November 1, 2004... 1. Introduction
The widespread application of stochastic discrete-event simulations has been accompanied by a growing concern about appropriately accounting for the uncertainties prevailing in their use. There are three main sources of...
