The increase in customer expectation in terms of cost and services rendered, coupled with competitive business environment and uncertainty in cost of raw materials have posed challenges on effective supply chain engineering making it…
In this paper, a mathematical negotiation mechanism is designed to minimize the negotiators' costs in a distributed procurement problem at two echelons of an automotive supply chain. The buyer's costs are procurement cost and shortage…
In this paper we introduce a new problem in the field of production planning which we call the Production Leveling Problem. The task is to assign orders to production periods such that the load in each period and on each production resource…
We examine a standard factory scheduling problem with stochastic processing and setup times, minimizing the expectation of the weighted number of tardy jobs. Because the costs of operators in the schedule are stochastic and sequence…
Advances in CAD and CAM have enabled engineers and design teams to digitally design parts with unprecedented ease. Software solutions now come with a range of modules for optimizing designs for performance requirements, generating…
Planning and scheduling have been a central theme of research in computer science. In particular, the simplicity of the theoretical approach of a no-wait flowshop scheduling problem does not allow to perceive the problem complexity at first…
Nowadays, manufacturing industries -- driven by fierce competition and rising customer requirements -- are forced to produce a broader range of individual products of rising quality at the same (or preferably lower) cost. Meeting these…
Combinatorial Auctions are a central problem in Algorithmic Mechanism Design: pricing and allocating goods to buyers with complex preferences in order to maximize some desired objective (e.g., social welfare, revenue, or profit). The…
3D printers based on the Fused Decomposition Modeling create objects layer-by-layer dropping fused material. As a consequence, strong overhangs cannot be printed because the new-come material does not find a suitable support over the last…
Lean manufacturing is a production method focused on reducing production times, eliminating waste, and synchronizing production with fluctuating demand. A standard lean manufacturing methodology is the product wheel, a repeating sequence of…
Additive manufacturing builds physical objects by accumulating layers upon layers of solidified material. This process is typically done with horizontal planar layers. However, fused filament printers have the capability to extrude material…
Generative models have shown great promise as trajectory planners, given their affinity to modeling complex distributions and guidable inference process. Previous works have successfully applied these in the context of robotic manipulation…
