This work presents a novel hybrid algorithm called GA-RRHC based on genetic algorithms
(GAs) and a random-restart hill-climbing (RRHC) algorithm for the optimization of the flexible …

Identifying critical nodes is an efficient way to analyze and apprehend the properties,
structures, and functions of complex networks, which is a challenging NP-hard problem. This …

This paper considers the general lot sizing and scheduling problem (GLSP) in single level
capacitated environments with sequence dependent item changeovers. The proposed …

We consider a stochastic capacitated lot sizing problem with in-line rework. Both defective
and defect-free products can be the result of an imperfect production process in real-world …

This paper considers a joint dynamic pricing and production planning decisions problem for
a profit-maximizing firm that produces and sells multiple products. The objective is to …

Supply-chain network design is a complex task because there are many decisions involved,
and presently, global networks involve many actors and variables, for example, in the …

The present paper proposes a novel concept to integrate maintenance modelling with an
integrated lot-sizing and scheduling problem. The maintenance aspect of the problem is …

In many cases, the high voltage overhead transmission lines (HVOHTLs) pass near many
infrastructures such as; water, crudes, or natural gas metallic pipelines. Many problems may …

While external product returns from customers are well-studied in the dynamic lot-sizing
literature, the same is not true for internal returns resulting from imperfect production. We …

Effective production scheduling allows manufacturing companies to be flexible and well-
adjusted to varying customer demand. In practice, production scheduling decisions are …
