Uncertainty is a very important concern in production scheduling since it can cause infeasibilities and production disturbances. Thus scheduling nder uncertainty has received a lot of attention in the open literature in recent years from chemical engineering and operations research communities. he purpose of this paper is to review the main methodologies that have been developed to address the ...

  An optimal desirability function method is proposed to optimize multiple responses in multiple production scenarios, simultaneously. In dynamic environments, changes in production requirements in each condition create different production scenarios. Therefore, in multiple production scenarios like producing in several production lines with different technologies in a factory, various fitted r...

Perishability of blood products as well as uncertainty in demand amounts complicate the management of blood supply for blood centers. This paper addresses a mixed-integer linear programming model for blood platelets production planning while integrating the processes of blood collection as well as production/testing, inventory control and distribution. Whole blood-derived production methods for...

optimization models have been used to support decision making in production planning for a long time. however, several of those models are deterministic and do not address the variability that is present in some of the data. robust optimization is a methodology which can deal with the uncertainty or variability in optimization problems by computing a solution which is feasible for all possible ...
