We present an adaptation of the active-guided evolution strategies metaheuristic for the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The capacitated vehicle routing problem is a classical problem in operations research in which a set of minimum total cost routes must be determined for a fleet of identical capacitated vehicles in order to service a number of demand or supply points. The applied metaheu...

The development, optimization, and analysis of downstream processes are challenged by a high number of potentially critical process parameters that need to be investigated using lab-scale experiments. These process parameters are spread across multiple unit operations and potentially show interactions across unit operations. In this contribution, we present a novel strategy for bioprocess devel...

Aggressive early deflation is a QR algorithm deflation strategy that takes advantage of matrix perturbations outside of the subdiagonal entries of the Hessenberg QR iterate. It identifies and deflates converged eigenvalues long before the classic small-subdiagonal strategy would. The new deflation strategy enhances the performance of conventional large-bulge multishift QR algorithms, but it is ...

The objective of this text is to analyze territorial development factors, promoted by the agglomeration strategy shared service centers, which contribute regional and urban economy through spillover effect, observing interrelated corporate components governance, location, as well externalities on non-participants, namely at an economic, social environmental level. Studies were carried out in di...

Operations strategy is a mature field and requires novel insights for further research practitioners in companies. To fill this gap, 280 articles were analyzed, by way of systematic literature review, considering two approaches: topic perspectives (content, process, competitive priorities), paradigms (analysis perspective, general methodology, design, typology, alternative paradigms). Eight cha...
