Application of Mixed-integer Linear Programming in a Car Seats Assembling Process

In this paper, a decision problem involving a car parts manufacturing company is modeled in order to prepare the company for an increase in demand. Mixed-integer linear programming was used with the following decision variables: creating a second shift, purchasing additional equipment, determining the required work force, and other alternatives involving new manners of work distribution that ma...

Application-oriented mixed integer non-linear programming

A mixed integer nonlinear programming model for optimizing a gas pipeline transmission linear network

The technical equipment developed and used in both installation and operation processes in refineries, oil and gas pipelines, and gas booster stations has always been expensive. Hence, managers at different organizational levels are keen to find methods to control and reduce these costs. Generally speaking, the operators in a gas booster station choose the operating devices without considering ...

A Mixed Integer Linear Programming Model for the Design of Remanufacturing Closed–loop Supply Chain Network

Closed-loop supply chain network design is a critical issue due to its impact on both economic and environmental performances of the supply chain. In this paper, we address the problem of designing a multi-echelon, multi-product and capacitated closed-loop supply chain network. First, a mixed-integer linear programming formulation is developed to maximize the total profit. The main contribution...

Noncommercial Software for Mixed-Integer Linear Programming

We present an overview of noncommercial software tools for the solution of mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs). We first review solution methodologies for MILPs and then present an overview of the available software, including detailed descriptions of eight software packages available under open-source or other noncommercial licenses. Each package is categorized as a black-box solver, a calla...
