An Efficient Buffer Design Algorithm for Production Line Profit Maximization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an accurate and fast algorithm for maximizing profits through buffer size optimization for production lines. We consider both buffer space cost and average inventory cost with distinct cost coefficients for different buffers, and we include a nonlinear production rate constraint. To solve the problem, a corresponding unconstrained problem is introduced and a nonlinear programming approach is adopted. Numerical results are provided to show the efficiency and accuracy of our algorithm for both short and long lines.

A Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization for Mixed-Model Assembly Line Balancing with Different Skilled Workers
This paper presents a multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for worker assignment and mixed-model assembly line balancing problem when task times depend on the worker’s skill level. The objectives of this model are minimization of the number of stations (equivalent to the maximization of the weighted line efficiency), minimization of the weighted smoothness index and minim...
متن کاملSelection of an Optimal Hybrid Water/Gas Injection Scenario for Maximization of Oil Recovery Using Genetic Algorithm
Production strategy from a hydrocarbon reservoir plays an important role in optimal field development in the sense of maximizing oil recovery and economic profits. To this end, self-adapting optimization algorithms are necessary due to the great number of variables and the excessive time required for exhaustive simulation runs. Thus, this paper utilizes genetic algorithm (GA), and the objective...

متن کاملGreen profit maximization through integrated pricing and production planning for a line of new and remanufactured products
To achieve a “green profit” in their businesses, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who produce both new and remanufactured products must optimize their pricing and production decisions. They must determine the buyback price and takeback quantity of end-of-life products (i.e., supply) as well as the selling prices and production quantities of new and remanufactured products (i.e., demand)....
