In this work, we provide two heuristic algorithms for the matrix bandwidth reduction problem. The first is a genetic algorithm and the second uses node label adjustments. Experime...
As product life cycles shortened, many firms introduce new products and phase out old products frequently. To plan for a successful product rollover; i.e., introduce a new product...
This paper is concerned with workload minimization in re-entrant lines with exponential service times and preemptive control policies. Using a numerical algorithm called the power...
The aim of this paper is to provide a game-theoretic interpretation of joint implementation in environmental projects and to assess the merit of such a strategy. More specifically...
A tabu search approach to solve multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems is developed in this paper. This procedure selects an objective to become active for a given it...
