An open-station assembly line that manufactures mixed models of sheet metal cabinets is considered in this research. The problem minimizes the total cost of the idle and utility times incurred in an ...

Modeling of the internal control system provides an element of structure and objectivity to the design and evaluation of the system. A model for the design of an internal control system is proposed ...

Mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) optimisation constitutes a critical methodology in tackling complex decision-making problems where both discrete choices and continuous variables are ...

The feasibility pump is a well-established primal heuristic for mixed integer programming (MIP) that alternates between solving a linear programming (LP) relaxation of the original problem and ...
