Modeling and optimal solving of supply chain management problems lead to efficient decision making in strategic planning and supply chain operations, resulting in a competitive advantage. Today, with the planning of a sustainable supply chain, in addition to achieving economic goals, it is possible to meet social and environmental objectives and considerations. This research deal with sustainab...

Industrial engineering is concerned with analysis, design, and implementation of systems through optimal use of resources—human, material, energy, information, and financial. Systems may range from small units to extremely large operations. In order to accomplish these activities, the industrial engineer must be skilled in mathematics, physical sciences, management, and human relations as well ...

We report our experience of handling 80 major musculoskeletal injuries in a brief span of three days immediately after the major earthquake of Nepal in April 2015. Planning, proper utilization of resources, and prioritizing the patients for surgical intervention is highlighted. The value of damage control by orthopaedics in these disasters is discussed. Timely and appropriate surgical treatment...

In this paper, we present an extension of the classical Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP). We present a new type of resource constraints in which staff members are involved. We present a new model where staff members can have several skills with different proficiency, i.e., a staff member is able to perform more than one kind of activity as well as the time need is complet...

Parallel processing of large data sets on clusters of commodity machines—of virtual or physical nature—has in recent years become an active field of research as well as a thriving business. Many companies are running large data centres to support such workloads, and task-parallel frameworks have enabled programmers to harness managed large-scale parallelism while writing mostly sequential code....

This paper reviews a resource base of software agents for hub-based architectures, which can be used generally for advanced dialogue systems research and deployment. The problem of domain-specificity of dialogue managers is discussed, and we describe an approach to it developed at CSLI, involving a domain-general dialogue manager with application specific “Activity Models”. We also describe rel...

This paper studies and analyses the multi-skilled resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MSRCPSP). We present a new classification scheme based on an existing for problems. allows researchers to classify all problems its extensions. Furthermore, we propose data generation procedure MSRCPSP introduce multiple artificial datasets varying research purposes. The are generated resource par...
