[ 1 ] - Two Strategies Based on Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for Parallel Row Ordering Problem (PROP)

Proper arrangement of facility layout is a key issue in management that influences efficiency and the profitability of the manufacturing systems. Parallel Row Ordering Problem (PROP) is a special case of facility layout problem and consists of looking for the best location of n facilities while similar facilities (facilities which has some characteristics in common) should be arranged in a row ...

[ 2 ] - Identification of factors influencing building initial trust in e-commerce

Nowadays, consumer trust is identified as one of the most important factors in electronic commerce (e-commerce) growth. This has led much research to investigate the role of trust in e-commerce and determine the factors which influence trust in this area. This paper explores factors which are engaged in building initial consumer trust in online shopping when a consumer wants to buy from a websi...

[ 3 ] - Applications of two new algorithms of cuckoo optimization (CO) and forest optimization (FO) for solving single row facility layout problem (SRFLP)

Nowadays, due to inherent complexity of real optimization problems, it has always been a challenging issue to develop a solution algorithm to these problems. Single row facility layout problem (SRFLP) is a NP-hard problem of arranging a number of rectangular facilities with varying length on one side of a straight line with aim of minimizing the weighted sum of the distance between all facility...

[ 4 ] - A Cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for Precedence Constrained Sequencing Problem (PCSP)

Precedence constrained sequencing problem (PCSP) is related to locate the optimal sequence with the shortest traveling time among all feasible sequences. In PCSP, precedence relations determine sequence of traveling between any two nodes. Various methods and algorithms for effectively solving the PCSP have been suggested. In this paper we propose a cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for effectively ...

[ 5 ] - An Adapted Non-dominated Sorting Algorithm (ANSA) for Solving Multi Objective Trip Distribution Problem

Trip distribution deals with estimation of trips distributed among origins and destinations and is one of the important stages in transportation planning. Since in the real world, trip distribution models often have more than one objective, multi-objective models are developed to cope with a set of conflict goals in this area. In a proposed method of adapted non-dominated sorting algorithm (ANS...

[ 6 ] - Reliability Based Maintenance and Human Resources Work-Rest Scheduling in Manufacturing System

In today's competitive market, all manufacturers attempt to improve their maintenance policy in order to decrease the cost of failure and increase the quality of products, but most of these attempts do not consider the role of humans involved in a manufacturing system. Human resources are the main factor in manufacturing that has an undeniable effect on products quality, machines reliability, s...
