Integration of the Decisions Associated with Maintenance Management and Process Control for a Series Production System

This paper studies a series production system through the integration of the decisions associated with Maintenance Management (MM) and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Hence, the primary question of the paper can be stated as follows: In a series production system, how can the decisions of MM and SPC be coordinated? To this end, an integrated mathematical model of MM and SPC is developed. Usi...

Market Adaptive Control Function Optimization in Continuous Cover Forest Management

Economically optimal management of a continuous cover forest is considered here. Initially, there is a large number of trees of different sizes and the forest may contain several species. We want to optimize the harvest decisions over time, using continuous cover forestry, which is denoted by CCF. We maximize our objective function, the expected present value, with consideration of stochastic p...

Modeling of nitrogen removal and control strategy in continuous-flow-intermittent-aeration process

The continuous-flow-intermittent-aeration process was introduced to achieve nitrogen removal in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Without structural readjustment of completed mixed activatedsludge treatment unit, operation scheme of intermittent aeration would be upgraded to promote the WWTP performance. As an aid of the implementation, mathematical simulation models were developed as an inv...

Optimal Stochastic Control in Continuous Time with Wiener Processes: General Results and Applications to Optimal Wildlife Management

We present a stochastic optimal control approach to wildlife management. The objective value is the present value of hunting and meat, reduced by the present value of the costs of plant damages and traffic accidents caused by the wildlife population. First, general optimal control functions and value functions are derived. Then, numerically specified optimal control functions and value func...
