Integrated Airline Planning

The tactical planning process of an airline is typically decomposed into several stages among which fleeting, aircraft routing, and crew pairing form the core. In such a decomposed and sequential approach the output of fleeting forms the input to aircraft routing and crew pairing. In turn, the output to aircraft routing is part of the input to crew pairing. Due to the decomposition, the resulti...

Integrated planning for blood platelet production: a robust optimization approach

Perishability of blood products as well as uncertainty in demand amounts complicate the management of blood supply for blood centers. This paper addresses a mixed-integer linear programming model for blood platelets production planning while integrating the processes of blood collection as well as production/testing, inventory control and distribution. Whole blood-derived production methods for...

Integrated Workflow Planning and Coordination

Two major tasks in process management are the planning of a process and the coordination of its execution. Workflow management systems support and automate the coordination of a process, but planning the process remains a manual task. This paper argues that planning and coordination are closely interrelated and therefore solely automation of coordination can lead to problems concerning consiste...
