In this paper, we develop a solution approach combining inventory routing and game theory and discuss it application to solve a real-world distribution and logistics problem. The problem consists of developing a distribution ...

This paper proposes a model for dealing with the long term staff composition planning in public universities. University academic staff is organized in units (or departments) according to their field of expertise. The staff ...

When various kinds of products must receive the sam e treatments in a production line of tanks and the size of batches is high, a cyclic manufacturing composed of a job from each batch can ...

A simulation-based algorithm for the Permutation Flowshop Sequencing Problem (PFSP) is presented. The algorithm uses Monte Carlo Simulation and a discrete version of the triangular distribution to incorporate a randomness ...

The scheduling of parallel machines is a well-known problem in many companies. Nevertheless, not always all the jobs can be manufactured in any machine and the eligibility appears. Based on a real-life situation, we present ...

The single-vehicle cyclic inventory routing problem (SV 􀀀 CIRP) consists of a repetitive distribution of a product from a single depot to a selected subset of customers. For each customer that is selected for replenishments, ...

New forms of consumption, including online streaming, have interfered with film exhibition, promoting important changes. These services need to generate significant traffic and a look for a wide range of home subscribers ...

Las líneas de montaje de automóviles presentan problemas de diseño y programación cada vez más complejos generados por la diversificación del producto mediante opciones ofertadas sobre un modelo base. El problema de ...

In this paper we face the permutation flow-shop scheduling problem with a makespan objective function in two variants, with and without storage space between machines. We use an improved branch and bound algorithm, suitable ...
