We design an Inventory Allocation System (INVALS) that, for each item-store combination, plans the quantity to be allocated from a warehouse that replenishes multiple stores using trailers, while respecting typical operational constraints.…
Current computer-aided synthesis planning (CASP) methods often treat retrosynthesis as solved once a single feasible route is identified, focusing primarily on convergence or shortest-path metrics. This view is misaligned with real-world…
We consider the multi-item inventory lot-sizing problem with supplier selection. The problem consists of determining an optimal purchasing plan in order to satisfy dynamic deterministic demands for multiple items over a finite planning…
Supply and manufacturing networks in the chemical industry involve diverse processing steps across different locations, rendering their operation vulnerable to disruptions from unplanned events. Optimal responses should consider factors…
Edge computing enables latency-critical applications to process data close to end devices, yet task heterogeneity and limited resources pose significant challenges to efficient orchestration. This paper presents a measurement-driven,…
The food production industry, especially the meat production sector, faces many challenges that have even escalated due to the recent outbreak of the energy crisis in the European Union. Therefore, efficient use of input materials is an…
Efficient production planning is essential in modern manufacturing to improve performance indicators such as lead time and to reduce reliance on human intuition. While mathematical optimization approaches, formulated as job shop scheduling…
The global agrochemical market is highly consolidated, with large multinational companies accounting for a major share of the market. Thus, even for a single agrochemical product, its global supply chain typically involves numerous paths…
This applied research article explores the application of Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) to address line-balancing challenges in the garment industry, focusing on optimizing production processes under multiple constraints. By…
In recent years, remanufacturing of End-of-Life (EOL) products has been adopted by manufacturing sectors as a competent practice to enhance their sustainability and market share. Due to the mass customization of products and high volatility…
In the era of industry 4.0, procurement in supply chain management is the key to developing information management systems. It directly affects production planning failure. In this case, it is the process to prepare and confirming the…
Inventory management in warehouses directly affects profits made by manufacturers. Particularly, large manufacturers produce a very large variety of products that are handled by a significantly large number of retailers. In such a case, the…
We study the inbound supply mode and inventory management decision making for a company that sells an assortment of products. Stochastic demand for each product arrives periodically and unmet demand is backlogged. Each product has two…
In picker-to-parts warehouses, order picking is a cost- and labor-intensive operation that must be designed efficiently. It comprises the construction of order batches and the associated order picker routes, and the assignment and…
Logistics has gained great attentions with the prosperous development of commerce, which is often seen as the classic optimal vehicle routing problem. Meanwhile, electric vehicle (EV) has been widely used in logistic fleet to curb the…
Hydrogen can be produced from water, using electricity. The hydrogen can subsequently be kept in inventory in large quantities, unlike the electricity itself. This enables solar and wind energy generation to occur asynchronously from its…
A re-entrant manufacturing system producing a large number of items and involving many steps can be approximately modeled by a hyperbolic partial differential equation (PDE) according to mass conservation law with respect to a continuous…
Hydrogen is an energy vector, and one possible way to reduce CO 2 emissions. This paper focuses on a hydrogen transport problem where mobile storage units are moved by trucks between sources to be refilled and destinations to meet demands,…
Warehouses play a central role in industrial logistics, functioning as critical hubs for storing and organizing inventory to support efficient production. Optimizing item allocation within these facilities is essential for reducing…
The management of irrigation water systems has become increasingly complex due to competing demands for agricultural production, groundwater sustainability, and environmental flow requirements, particularly under hydrologic variability and…
