The aim of this paper is to classify the literature related to the integration between the lot-
sizing and cutting stock problem. A deterministic mathematical model, that considers …

This study presents a review of optimization models for tactical production planning. The
objective of this research is to identify streams and future research directions in this field …

Abstract Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a novel concept that is reshaping the
middlebox arena, shifting network functions (eg firewall, gateways, proxies) from specialized …

Abstract The Nurse Rostering Problem (NRP) is a complex scheduling problem in which
nurses must be assigned to shifts according to a set of constraints. The NRP is difficult to …

Combined decisions on equipment and charging schedule for electric buses (e-buses) are
studied in this paper. The most representative day is considered, in which each e-bus fulfills …

We propose a general-purpose heuristic approach combining metaheuristics and mixed
integer programming to find high quality solutions to the challenging single-and parallel …

Production planning in the manufacturing industry is crucial for fully utilizing factory
resources (eg, machines, raw materials and workers) and reducing costs. With the advent of …

During railway disruptions, most passengers may not be able to find preferred alternative
train services due to the current way of handling disruptions that does not take passenger …

This paper presents a model for the budget-constrained dynamic (multi-period)
uncapacitated facility location–network design problem (DUFLNDP). This problem is …

This paper approaches the integrated lot sizing and scheduling problem (ILSSP), in which
non-identical machines work in parallel with non-triangular sequence-dependent setup …
