This paper presents an algorithm for generating unconstrained guillotine-cutting patterns for rectangular blanks. A pattern includes at most two sections, each of which consists o...
We develop a simple and practical exact algorithm for the problem of locating p facilities and assigning clients7 to them within capacity restrictions in order to minimize the max...
There is an age old debate in curling about whether it is better to be down one point with last shot, or ahead by one point without. The objective of this paper is to apply sensit...
This paper presents a formulation of the facilities block layout problem which explicitly considers uncertainty in material handling costs on a continuous scale by use of expected...
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is proposed in this paper to generate local weights of alternatives from pair-wise comparison judgment matrices used in the analytic hierarchy proc...
