Sugarcane Harvest Logistics in Brazil
Sugar mills in Brazil represent significant capital investments. To maintain appropriate returns on their investment, sugar companies seek to run the mills at capacity over the entire nine months of the sugarcane harvest season. Because the sugar content of cane degrades considerably once it is cut, maintaining inventories of cut cane is undesirable. Instead, mills want to coordinate the arriva...
متن کاملMicrobial decomposition of post-harvest sugarcane residue.
A laboratory in situ composting study was conducted as a possible alternative method for the current practice of open air burning of post-harvest sugarcane residue by sugarcane farmers. In situ composting of the sugarcane residue by the indigenous bacteria and fungi was accelerated using molasses as an initial substrate. A one-time application of molasses boosted the soil microbial population. ...
متن کاملMultiple Solution Harvest Scheduling
Application of the Metropolis algorithm for forest harvest scheduling is extended by automating the relative weighting of objective function components. Previous applications of the Metropolis algorithm require the user to specify these weights, which demands substantial trial and error in practice. This modification allows for general incorporation of objective function components that are eit...
متن کاملFeedback control in a distributed scheduling architecture
Multiple-module, multi-stage packet switching systems are gaining popularity as a scalable solution to the ever increasing demand for the aggregate switching capacity. Due to additional contention points between the stages, such systems differ in their behavior from single-module output-buffered switches, which serve as a model for most of the advanced Quality of Service (QoS) scheduling algori...
متن کاملAn optimization approach for scheduling wine grape harvest operations
This article presents a practical tool for optimally scheduling wine grape harvesting operations taking into account both operational costs and grape quality. We solve a mixed-integer linear programming model to support harvest scheduling, labor allocation, and routing decisions. A quality loss function is used to represent wine quality reduction at each vineyard block due to premature or defer...
