Mathematical Programming Formulations for the Bottleneck Hyperplane Clustering Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss a mixed-integer nonlinear programming formulation for the problem of covering a set of points with a given number of slabs of minimum width, known as the bottleneck variant of the hyperplane clustering problem. We derive several linear approximations, which we solve using a standard mixed-integer linear programming solver. A computational comparison of the performance of the different linearizations is provided.

On Bottleneck Product Rate Variation Problem with Batching
The product rate variation problem minimizes the variation in the rate at which different models of a common base product are produced on the assembly lines with the assumption of negligible switch-over cost and unit processing time for each copy of each model. The assumption of significant setup and arbitrary processing times forces the problem to be a two phase problem. The first phase determ...
متن کاملSolving product mix problem in multiple constraints environment using goal programming
The theory of constraints is an approach to production planning and control that emphasizes on the constraints to increase throughput by effectively managing constraint resources. One application in theory of constraints is product mix decision. Product mix influences the performance measures in multi-product manufacturing system. This paper presents an alternative approach by using of goal pro...
متن کاملMulti-item dynamic production-distribution planning in process industries with divergent finishing stages
This paper examines a multi-item dynamic production-distribution planning problem between a manufacturing location and a distribution center. Transportation costs between the manufacturing location and the distribution center offer economies of scale and can be represented by general piecewise linear functions. The production system at the manufacturing location is a serial process with a multi...
متن کاملSolving Re-entrant No-wait Flexible Flowshop Scheduling Problem; Using the Bottleneck-based Heuristic and Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, we study the re-entrant no-wait flexible flowshop scheduling problem with makespan minimization objective and then consider two parallel machines for each stage. The main characteristic of a re-entrant environment is that at least one job is likely to visit certain stages more than once during the process. The no-wait property describes a situation in which every job has its own ...
متن کاملTransforming Mathematical Models Using Declarative Reformulation Rules
Reformulation is one of the most useful and widespread activities in mathematical modeling, in that finding a “good” formulation is a fundamental step in being able so solve a given problem. Currently, this is almost exclusively a human activity, with next to no support from modeling and solution tools. In this paper we show how the reformulation system defined in [15] allows to automatize the ...
