Actual challenges in production are individualization and short product lifecycles. To achieve this, the product development and the production planning must be accelerated. In some cases specialized production machines are engineered for automating production processes for a single product. Regarding the engineering of specialized production machines, there is often a sequential process starti...

The production planning is an important problem in most of manufacturing systems in practice. Unlike many researches existing in literature, this problem encounters with great uncertainties in parameters and input data. In this paper, a single machine capacitated production planning problem is considered and a linear programming formulation is presented. The production costs are assumed to be u...

a r t i c l e i n f o JEL classification: C02 M11 C44 C61 Keywords: Multi-item production system Rotation cycle time Multi-delivery Economic production quantity model Scrap Vendor–buyer integrated system This paper addresses the joint determination of a rotation cycle time and number of shipments for a multi-item economic production quantity (EPQ) model with random defective rate. The classic E...

the problem of scheduling with multi agent has been studiedfor more than one decade and significant advances have been madeover the years. however, most work has paid more attention to the conditionthat machines are available during planning horizon. motivatedby the observations, this paper studies a two-agent scheduling modelwith multiple availability constraint. each agent aims at minimizing ...

In this study, a new method for designing the damping controller was proposed to improve the transient power system stability in a single machine network connected to an infinite bus. The STATCOM controller problem in a wide area of the system function was considered as an optimization problem with multi-purpose objective function. Also, the Honey Bee Mating Optimization Algorithm was used to d...

This study investigates the coordination of production scheduling and maintenance planning in theflow shop scheduling environment. The problem is considered in a bi-objective form, minimizing themakespan as the production scheduling criterion and minimizing the system unavailability as themaintenance planning criterion. The time interval between consecutive maintenance activities as well as the...

In this paper, a single-product, single-machine system under Markovian deterioration of machine condition and demand uncertainty is studied.  The objective is to find the optimal intervals for inspection and preventive maintenance activities in a condition-based maintenance planning with discrete monitoring framework. At first, a stochastic dynamic programming model whose state variable is the ...
