A clustering-based repair shop design for repairable spare part supply systems
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)In this study, we address the design problem of a single repair shop in a repairable multi-item spare part supply system. We propose a sequential solution heuristic to solve the joint problem of resource pooling, inventory ... -
A framework based on location hazard index for optimizing operational performance of emergency response strategies: The case of petrochemical industrial cities
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)Emergency response operations are very important activities in the industrial areas. As an incident in an industrial area can have considerable economic and social impact, response to such an incident has to be provided ... -
A model for capacitated green vehicle routing problem with the time-varying vehicle speed and soft time windows
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)This paper investigates the capacitated green vehicle routing problem (GVRP) with time-varying vehicle speed and soft time windows. The GVRP is developed as a multi-objective mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) ... -
An Approach for Energy Conservation Management Systems in Buildings
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference)Making decisions about energy conservation options in buildings can be rather problematic as they involve several tradeoffs between project stakeholders. Furthermore, the level of details required in making a decision by ... -
ANN Model for Energy Demand and Supply Forecasting in a Hybrid Energy Supply System
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference)This paper presents short term demand and supply forecasting model for a microgrid supply system used to secure the electricity demands of a commercial building, using one year demand data collected in hourly base. One-year ... -
Comfort-based fuzzy control optimization for energy conservation in HVAC systems
( Elsevier Ltd , 2014 , Article)The work presented herein illustrates the use of computational intelligence and optimization approaches for improving the fuzzy controller's performance in architectural heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system ... -
Cross-training policies for repair shops with spare part inventories
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)We study a spare part supply system for repairable spare parts where parallel repair servers may have multiple skills (can repair different failed parts). Demands for the spares occur according to Poisson processes with ... -
Impact of competitive conditions on supplier evaluation: a construction supply chain case study
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)This research proposes a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework and demonstrates the impact of competitive conditions on supplier evaluation process for construction supply chains. The paper focuses on the supply ... -
Modeling prepositioning of resources for humanitarian logistics
( IEOM Society , 2018 , Conference)Prepositioning of resources for humanitarian assistance to the victims of natural disaster is an important consideration to mitigate the problem that occurs due to the shortage in the supply of resources. Prepositioned ... -
Skills of engineers in knowledge based economies: A comprehensive literature review, and model development
( IEEE , 2013 , Conference)Recent studies emphasize the needs of a wider set of skills engineers require than ever thought. In this paper, authors report on a systematic literature review on this issue. Findings of the review are spanned over two ... -
Stakeholder’s perception of service quality: a case in Qatar
( Emerald Group Publishing Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate and report students’ perception of service quality in a university by examining the perceptual context of service quality with respect to students’ loyalty behavior, ... -
Systemic framework of competencies of 21st century technical and engineering human resource: A development case for a knowledge based Economy in Qatar
( IEEE , 2013 , Conference)The required talent of 21st century engineering and technology human resource is significantly different and more complex than what has been needed ever before. Numerous relevant studies have been conducted during the last ... -
The design of green supply chains under carbon policies: A literature review of quantitative models
( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article Review)Carbon footprinting of products and services is getting increasing attention due to the growing emphasis on carbon related policies in many countries. As a result, many enterprises are focusing on the design of green supply ...
