Selection, acquisition, and allocation of manufacturing technology in a multi-period environment

چکیده
This paper addresses a multi-period investment problem for the selection, acquisition, and allocation of alternative technology choices to meet the demand of a number of product families over a long-range planning horizon. We first show that the problem is NP-hard. We then present a solution strategy based upon perturbing the linear programming relaxation solution of a multiperiod mixed-integer linear programming ∗Corresponding author: [email protected]

Mathematical programming and artificial intelligence (AI) methods are known as the most effective and applicable procedures to form manufacturing cells in designing a cellular manufacturing system (CMS). In this paper, a bi-objective programming model is presented to consider the cell formation problem that is solved by a proposed multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO). The model c...
متن کاملSolving a New Multi-Period Mathematical Model of the Rail-Car Fleet Size and Car Utilization by Simulated Annealing
There is a significant interaction between sizing a fleet of rail cars and its utilization. This paper presents a new multi-period mathematical model and a solution procedure to optimize the rail-car fleet size and freight car allocation, wherein car demands, and travel times, are assumed to be deterministic, and unmet demands are backordered. This problem is considered NP-complete. In other wo...
متن کاملSolving a Redundancy Allocation Problem by a Hybrid Multi-objective Imperialist Competitive Algorithm
A redundancy allocation problem (RAP) is a well-known NP-hard problem that involves the selection of elements and redundancy levels to maximize the system reliability under various system-level constraints. In many practical design situations, reliability apportionment is complicated because of the presence of several conflicting objectives that cannot be combined into a single-objective functi...
