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…
This paper addresses a production scheduling problem derived from an industrial use case, focusing on unrelated parallel machine scheduling with the personnel availability constraint. The proposed model optimizes the production plan over a…
Finding optimal join orders is among the most crucial steps to be performed by query optimisers. Though extensively studied in data management research, the problem remains far from solved: While query optimisers rely on exhaustive search…
This paper studies an extension of the rural postman problem with multiple depots and rechargeable and reusable vehicles capable of multiple trips with capacity constraints. This paper presents a new Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP)…
Considering the evolution of the food industry and its challenges, like high perishability, managing the food industry supply chain is a key focus for researchers and decision-makers. Uncertainty in decision-making has gained importance,…
This paper focuses on the problem of supplying the workstations of assembly lines with components during the production process. For that specific problem, this paper presents a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) that aims at minimizing…
With the escalating demand for meal delivery services, this study delves into the Meal Delivery Routing Problem (MDRP) within the context of last-mile logis-tics. Focusing on the critical aspects of courier allocation and order fulfillment,…
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…
Activities involving transformation of raw materials, various resources and components into final products and also delivering it to the end customer incur a significant cost during the selection of location of a warehouse that can be…
Planning in hybrid systems with both discrete and continuous control variables is important for dealing with real-world applications such as extra-planetary exploration and multi-vehicle transportation systems. Meanwhile, generating…
The efficient allocation of human resources is a critical concern in software development and other industries. This paper introduces a rigorous mathematical methodology for task assignment, employing Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP)…
This study addresses the multi-item multi-period order allocation problem under all-unit quantity discounts (AUQD) and blending ratios. A manufacturer makes a single product that requires mixing/assembling multiple ingredients/components…
As an important means of providing medical services in developing countries and remote areas, Mobile Health Clinics (MHCs) focus on distributing medical supplies and providing basic health needs to underserved communities. In this paper, we…
With increasing interest in adaptive clinical trial designs, challenges are present to drug supply chain management which may offset the benefit of adaptive designs. Thus, it is necessary to develop an optimization tool to facilitate the…
The ultimate goal in the pharmaceutical sector is product quality. However this quality can be altered by the use of a number of heterogeneous information systems with different business structures and concepts along the lifecycle of the…
Microtransit and other flexible transit fleet services can reduce costs by incorporating transfers. However, transfers are costly to users if they must get off a vehicle and wait at a stop for another pickup. A mixed integer linear…
Increasingly volatile electricity prices make simultaneous scheduling optimization desirable for production processes and their energy systems. Simultaneous scheduling needs to account for both process dynamics and binary on/off-decisions…
Inspection planning is concerned with computing the shortest robot path to inspect a given set of points of interest (POIs) using the robot's sensors. This problem arises in a wide range of applications from manufacturing to medical…
Multi-product pipelines are a highly efficient means of transporting liquids. Traditionally used to transport petroleum, its products and derivatives, they are now being repurposed to transport liquified natural gas admixed with hydrogen of…
With almost 50% of annual commercial drug approvals being Personalised Medicine (PM) and its huge potential to improve quality of life, this emerging medical sector has received increased attention from the industry and medical research,…
