A preemptive bound for the Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem
(
Springer US
, 2014 , Article)
The Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem is one of the most intensively investigated scheduling problems. It requires scheduling a set of interrelated activities, while considering precedence relationships, and ...
First and Last Triggering Event Approaches for Replacement with Minimal Repairs
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
To make effective use of a running system, this paper proposes that, when replacement times could be scheduled at a planned time T of operation, and at a number N of minimal repairs, the newly proposed approach of whichever ...

, 2017 , Article)
In this study, novel three-phase polymer nanocomposites comprising of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared using colloidal blending. The PVDF/TiO2/GO ...
Exact solution methods for a generalized assignment problem with location/allocation considerations
(
INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences
, 2016 , Article)
We investigate modeling approaches and exact solution methods for a generalized assignment problem with location/allocation (GAPLA) considerations. In contrast with classical generalized assignment problems, each knapsack ...
Comparisons of standby and parallel systems in reliability, replacement, scheduling and application
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This paper compares the standby and parallel systems through the following analyses: reliability measures such as reliabilities, mean times to failure, and failure rates are first compared. These comparisons are reconsidered ...
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 ...
