Using Column Generation to Solve an Industrial Mixing Problem
The problem considered in this paper is a real world problem. It concerns the management of the deliveries of coal to the several plants of a coke industry firm in order to meet the demand of several clients at minimal purchasing, transportation and production cost. The problem is solved using a column generation technique. At the lower level, a mix of one ton satisfying all the client quality ...
متن کاملA Column Generation Approach to solve the Crew Re-Scheduling Problem
When tracks are out of service for maintenance during a certain period, trains cannot be operated on those tracks. This leads to a modified timetable, and results in infeasible rolling stock and crew schedules. Therefore, these schedules need to be repaired. The topic of this paper is the rescheduling of crew. In this paper, we define the Crew Re-Scheduling Problem (CRSP). Furthermore, we show ...
متن کاملUsing column generation to solve parallel machine scheduling problems with minmax objective functions
In this paper we consider the parallel machine scheduling problem of minimizing an objective function of the minmax type, like maximum lateness, subject to release dates, deadlines, and/or generalized precedence constraints. We use a destructive strategy to compute a lower bound. Here we test the feasibility of a decision problem by applying column generation to compute a bound on the number of...
متن کاملA Honey Bee Algorithm To Solve Quadratic Assignment Problem
Assigning facilities to locations is one of the important problems, which significantly is influence in transportation cost reduction. In this study, we solve quadratic assignment problem (QAP), using a meta-heuristic algorithm with deterministic tasks and equality in facilities and location number. It should be noted that any facility must be assign to only one location. In this paper, first o...
متن کاملUsing Metaheuristic Algorithms Combined with Clustering Approach to Solve a Sustainable Waste Collection Problem
Sustainability is a monumental issue that should be considered in designing a logistics system. In order to incorporate sustainability concepts in our study, a waste collection problem with economic, environmental, and social objective functions was addressed. The first objective function minimized overall costs of the system, including establishment of depots and treatment facilities. Addressi...
