Short-term planning of liquefied natural gas deliveries
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The ability of a supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to deliver cargoes at desired times, while effectively managing a fleet of cryogenic vessels can significantly impact its profits. We investigate in this paper an ...
Vehicle routing problem in omni-channel retailing distribution systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper introduces a variant of the vehicle routing problem where a group of retail stores are served from a distribution center using a fleet of vehicles. Moreover, products are distributed to consumers from some of ...
Deformation modes and crashworthiness energy absorption of sinusoidally corrugated tubes manufactured by direct metal laser sintering
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Thin-walled structures are used for crashworthiness energy absorption applications such as automobile vehciles and aircraft. Structures of sinusoidally corrugated profiles were of great interest because of their ability ...
Effect of codeposition of mixed nanoparticles (V2O5 and ZrO2) on the structure and properties of Ni-B nanocomposite coating
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In the present research, Ni-B-V2O5/ZrO2 hybrid composite coating is prepared from an aqueous electrolyte using direct current. The properties of the hybrid composite is compared to that of the Ni-B coating in order to ...
Impact of green manufacturing practices on organisational performance in Indian context: An empirical study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study presents an empirical assessment and guides about measuring impact of GM (green manufacturing) practices on organisational performance in Indian context. The research approach is to extract critical GM factors ...
A novel model and decomposition approach for the integrated airline fleet assignment, aircraft routing, and crew pairing problem
(
INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences
, 2017 , Article)
Given a daily flight schedule and a set of aircraft fleets, the airline scheduling problem assigns individual aircraft and groups of crew to each flight based on specific considerations of aircraft maintenance requirements ...
An integrated approach for airline flight selection and timing, fleet assignment, and aircraft routing
(
INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences
, 2013 , Article)
Airline profits critically depend on the nature and efficiency of service they provide and accrue from a complex planning process involving schedule design fleet assignment aircraft routing and crew scheduling which are ...
A hybrid simulation-optimization approach for the robust Discrete Time/Cost Trade-off Problem
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
We investigate a stochastic Discrete Time/Cost Trade-off Problem. This multimode project scheduling problem, requires assigning modes to activities, and scheduling the activities so that the sum of the activities cost and ...
MIP models for minimizing total tardiness in a two-machine flow shop
(
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
We propose compact mixed-integer programming models for the NP-hard problem of minimizing tardiness in a two-machine flow shop. Also, we propose valid inequalities that aim at tightening the models' representations. We ...
An assignment-based lower bound for a class of two-machine flow shop problems
(2013 , Article)
We present an assignment-based lower bound that is valid for a wide class of two-machine flow shop problems with a regular additive performance criterion. We provide empirical evidence that this new bound consistently ...
