generally, a typical problem which is crucial in a manufacturing system is increasing the production rate.  to cope with the problem, different types of techniques are used in companies by trial and error which imposes high costs on them. using simulation as a tool for assessing the effect of alterations on the performance of the overall system might be significant. this paper considers a simul...

We propose a flexible model and several integer linear programming and constraint programming formulations for integrated employee timetabling and production scheduling problems. A hybrid constraint and linear programming exact method is designed to solve a basic integrated employee timetabling and job-shop scheduling problem for lexicographic minimization of makespan and labor costs. Prelimina...

In this paper we outline the derivation of a hybrid Hamilton-JacobiBellman equation for our Multiple Agent Hybrid Control Architecture (MACHA) [5, 4] and a hybrid system dynamic programming methodology.

Layout design problem is one of the useful field of study used to increase the efficiency of sources in organizations. In order to achieve an appropriate layout design, it is necessary to define and solve the related nonlinear programming problems. Therefore, using computer in solving the related problems is important in the view of the researchers of this area of study. However, the designs pr...
