Using Benders Decomposition for Solving Ready Mixed Concrete Dispatching Problem
Large scale dispatching problems are technically characterized as classical NP-hard problems which means that they cannot be solved optimally with existing methods in a polynomial time. Benders decomposition is recommended for solving large scale Mixed Integer Programming (MIP). In this paper we use the Bender Decomposition technique for reformulating the Ready Mixed Concrete Dispatching Proble...
متن کاملA Hybrid Solution Approach for Ready-Mixed Concrete Delivery
Companies in the concrete industry are facing the following scheduling problem on a daily basis: concrete produced at several plants has to be delivered at customers’ construction sites using a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles in a timely, but cost-effective manner. As the ordered quantity of concrete typically exceeds the capacity of a single vehicle several deliveries need to be scheduled in o...
متن کاملGenetic algorithms in supply chain scheduling of ready- mixed concrete
The coordination of just-in-time production and transportation in a network of partially independent facilities to guarantee timely delivery to distributed customers is one of the most challenging aspect of supply chain management. From the theoretical perspective, the timely production/distribution can be viewed as a hybrid combination of planning, scheduling and routing problem, each notoriou...
متن کاملMinimizing Material Inventory in Ready Mixed Concrete Plants by Applying a Fuzzy Neural Network Approach Management
In the U.S.A., 70 percent of the manufactured cement and 43 percent of aggregates is used in Ready-Mixed Concrete (RMC) plants. So a material inventory control system is needed to form a consumption pattern for this material to optimize warehousing cost and ordering in RMC plants. Such a material inventory control system of batching plants could be applied as an approach for optimal estimation ...
متن کاملSafety in ready mixed concrete industry: descriptive analysis of injuries and development of preventive measures
Ready mixed concrete (RMC) industry, one of the barebones of construction sector, has its distinctive occupational safety and health (OSH) risks. Employees experience risks that emerge during the fabrication of concrete, as well as its delivery to the construction site. Statistics show that usage and demand of RMC have been increasing along with the number of producers and workers. Unfortunatel...
