    • Minimizing the total completion time in a two-machine flowshop problem with time delays 

      Msakni, Mohamed Kais; Khallouli, Wael; Al-Salem, Mohamed; Ladhari, Talel ( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2016 , Article)
      This article proposes to solve the problem of minimizing the total completion time in a two-machine permutation flowshop environment in which time delays between the machines are considered. For this purpose, an enumeration ...

    • New characteristics of optimal solutions for the two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers 

      Rabadi, Ghaith; Msakni, Mohamed Kais; Rodriguez-Velasquez, Elkin; Alvarez-Bermudez, William ( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)
      The two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers with the objective of minimising the makespan (F2||Cmax) is addressed. Johnson’s algorithm finds optimal solutions (permutations) to this problem, but are not necessarily ...

    • Optimal planning of liquefied natural gas deliveries 

      Al-Haidous, Sara; Msakni, Mohamed Kais; Haouari, Mohamed ( Elsevier , 2016 , Article)
      We investigate the problem of designing an optimal annual delivery plan for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). This problem requires determining the long-term cargo delivery dates and the assignment of vessels to the cargoes ...
