A Framework for Prioritization and Selection of Strategic Projects
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2022 , Article)Strategic projects are critical for the sustenance of an organization; however, they are subject to different types of constraints in terms of risk, management capabilities, resources, and political and cultural factors. ... -
A pooling strategy for flexible repair shop designs
( SciTePress , 2018 , Conference)We discuss the design problem of a repair shop in a single echelon repairable multi-item spare parts supply system. The repair shop consists of several parallel multi-skilled servers, and storage facilities for the repaired ... -
A sorting based efficient heuristic for pooled repair shop designs
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)In this paper, we address the assignment problem of skills to servers (e.g., repairmen) in a multi-server repair shop of a spare parts supply system. This type of assignment problems tends to be hard in general, due to the ... -
A model to evaluate acquisition price and quantity of used products for remanufacturing
( Elsevier , 2012 , Article)In this paper, an analytical model is proposed to evaluate optimal acquisition price and quantity policy based on the quality of returned used products that are subsequently used for remanufacturing. The model is developed ... -
A model for planning locations of temporary distribution facilities for emergency response
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)We propose a network flow model for dynamic selection of temporary distribution facilities and allocation of resources for emergency response planning. The model analyzes the transfer of excess resources between temporary ... -
A real study-based modeling of stochastic behavior of traffic crash counts using penalized poisson-GzLM
( IEOM Society , 2019 , Conference)Data-based prediction models for vehicular crash counts are in high demand by transport and traffic authorities in Qatar. The road crash models based on in-depth data are important for developing efficient road safety ... -
Building thermal energy modeling with loss minimization
( Elsevier , 2014 , Article)The thermal losses in buildings are significant energy sinks. The Energy Semantic Network (ESN) is a new method for finding these losses at the design stage, as well as for the existing structures. The research purpose of ... -
An eco-friendly closed-loop supply chain facing demand and carbon price uncertainty
