dynamic cellular manufacturing systems,   mixed-integer non-linear programming,   production planning, manufacturing attributes   this paper presents a novel mixed-integer non-linear programming model for the design of a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (dcms) based on production planning (pp) decisions and several manufacturing attributes. such an integrated dcms model with an extensive c...

Many construction processes are stochastic systems. A deterministic analysis of these systems may not allow for the random distribution of system events, resulting in poor or unrealistic system attributes. Two examples of such systems are the cyclic processes of earthmoving and concrete placing. While both processes have different objectives, their execution has much in common; in particular bo...

The thesis focuses on evaluating and improving the transport efficiency of two types of logistics operations in the supply chain. One research area is the production of raw material in heavy construction operations, which takes place early in the construction supply chain. The production of raw material, specifically earthmoving operations, involves the moving and processing of the soil surface...
