A Single Machine Capacitated Production Planning Problem Under Uncertainty: A Grey Linear Programming Approach

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 Chance Constrained Integer Programming Model for Open Pit Long-Term Production Planning

The mine production planning defines a sequence of block extraction to obtain the highest NPV under a number of constraints. Mathematical programming has become a widespread approach to optimize production planning, for open pit mines since the 1960s. However, the previous and existing models are found to be limited in their ability to explicitly incorporate the ore grade uncertainty into the p...

Towards Supply Chain Planning Integration: Uncertainty Analysis Using Fuzzy Mathematical Programming Approach in a Plastic Forming Company

Affected by globalization and increased complexity, supply chain managers have learned about the importance of Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP). However, in large scale supply chains, S&OP has received little attention, by both academics and practitioners. The purpose of this manuscript is to investigate the advantages of S&OP process using a mathematical modeling approach in a large scale ...

A Comprehensive Model for R and D Project Portfolio Selection with Zero-One Linear Goal-Programming (RESEARCH NOTE)

Technology centered organizations must be able to identify promising new products or process improvements at an early stage so that the necessary resources can be allocated to those activities. It is essential to invest in targeted research and development (R and D) projects as opposed to a wide range of ideas so that resources can be focused on successful outcomes. The selection of the most ap...
