Production planning and maintenance are two important problems in manufacturing systems. Despite the relationship exists between these two problems due to sudden failures and production capacity occupied by maintenance activities, each of these problems planned separately and as a result program and model efficiencies reduce in the real world. The aim of integrated production and maintena...

This paper presented a mixed integer programming for integrated scheduling and process planning. The presented process plan included some orders with precedence relations similar to Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP), which was categorized as an NP-hard problem. These types of problems are also called advanced planning because of simultaneously determining the appropriate sequence and m...

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...
