This paper proposes a mathematical model for the design of a two-echelon supply chain where a set of suppliers serve a set of terminal facilities that receive uncertain customer demands. This model integrates a number of system decisions in…
This study introduces a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model, effectively co-optimizing patrolling, damage assessment, fault isolation, repair, and load re-energization processes. The model is designed to solve a vital operational…
Manufacturing industries are among the highest energy-consuming sectors, facing increasing pressure to reduce energy costs. This paper presents an energy-aware Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework to dynamically schedule manufacturing…
Localisation and circularity in perishable food supply chains are essential for sustainability. Poor allocation of time-sensitive food leads to waste, higher transport emissions, and unnecessary long-distance sourcing. Algorithms used in…
Growing demand for sustainable logistics and higher space utilization, driven by e-commerce and urbanization, increases the need for storage systems that are both energy- and space-efficient. Compact storage systems aim to maximize space…
This research investigates a multi-product, multi-echelon, and multi-period vaccine supply chain network model under uncertainty and quality inspection errors. The objective function seeks optimizing the total cost of the supply chain.…
Plastics are ubiquitous in modern society, but the linear model of produce, use, and dispose results in massive amounts of resource consumption and pollution. Landfill and incineration of plastic waste is endemic, with no consensus on a…
Determining a process-structure-property relationship is the holy grail of materials science, where both computational prediction in the forward direction and materials design in the inverse direction are essential. Problems in materials…
This contribution gives an overview of an ongoing project using machine learning and computer vision components for improving the electronic waste recycling process. In circular economy, the "virtual mines" concept refers to production…
Oil products are the main source of energy in the world today. Distribution of these products is one of the main issues in the industry. The main tools for this work are pipelines, and along with it, railways, shipping and roads are also…
The competition over natural reserves of minerals is expected to increase in part because of the linear-economy paradigm based on take-make-dispose. Simultaneously, the linear economy considers end-of-use products as waste rather than as a…
Hyperparameter tuning of multi-stage pipelines introduces a significant computational burden. Motivated by the observation that work can be reused across pipelines if the intermediate computations are the same, we propose a pipeline-aware…
Krylov subspace recycling is a process for accelerating the convergence of sequences of linear systems. Based on this technique, the recycling BiCG algorithm has been developed recently. Here, we now generalize and extend this recycling…
Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) are a proven instrument for facilitating closed-loop plastic packaging recycling. A good customer experience at the RVM is crucial for a further proliferation of this technology. Bin full events are the major…
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…
A mathematical program for global optimization of the cable layout of Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs) is presented. The model consists on a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP). Modern branch-and-cut solvers are able to solve large-scale…
Dual-channel closed-loop supply chains (DCCLSCs) play a vital role in attaining both sustainability and profitability. This paper introduces a game-theoretic model to analyze optimal pricing strategies for primary and replacement customers…
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…
Inland waterway transportation network significantly supports the overall freight transportation of the nation. In order to ensure efficient and timely commodity transportation through this network, this study aims at developing a reliable…
High-mix manufacturing systems require production plans that are both profitable and refinable into executable machine-level schedules under heterogeneous resources, mold-dependent compatibility, setup losses,delivery windows, and accessory…
