It is broadly recognised by global companies that supply chain management is one of the
major core competencies for an organisation to compete in the marketplace. Organisational …

This paper proposes a logistics model for delivery of prioritized items in disaster relief
operations. It considers multi-items, multi-vehicles, multi-periods, soft time windows, and a …

In engineering design optimization problems, the optimal solution can improve the design
quality of complex engineering system and reduce a lot of cost consumption, so it is of great …

Fuel cell powered hybrid electric vehicles (FC-HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (FC-
PHEV) are being addressed by the automotive industry as improved and more sustainable …

In this study, we proposed a discrete teaching-learning-based optimisation (DTLBO) for
solving the flowshop rescheduling problem. Five types of disruption events, namely machine …

In real-world manufacturing, disruptions are often encountered during the execution of a
predetermined schedule, leading to the degradation of its optimality and feasibility. This …

Two-sided assembly line is a set of sequential workstations where task operations can be
performed in two sides of the line. The line is important for large-sized products, such as …

The available set of potential features in real-world databases is sometimes very large, and
it can be necessary to find a small subset for classification purposes. One of the most …

This paper explores the use of a genetic algorithm (GA) to optimise item allocation in a
warehouse, with the ultimate purpose of reducing the travel time of pickers, thus streamlining …
