dynamic cellular manufacturing systems,   mixed-integer non-linear programming,   production planning, manufacturing attributes   this paper presents a novel mixed-integer non-linear programming model for the design of a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (dcms) based on production planning (pp) decisions and several manufacturing attributes. such an integrated dcms model with an extensive c...

This article studies the optimization of pricing decisions in a supply chain with different channels under different power structure. Three different channel will be considered here; these include: the decentralized, the semi-integrated, and the integrated channel. There are two types of power balance structures for both the decentralized and the semi-integrated channels. The first type is a le...

integrated urban management means adopting a holistic approach to urban management and designing appropriate mechanisms for this approach’s requirements in practice. the integration of the urban activities brings together organizational , structural and institutional activities and action in which the urban development is supported. in order to achieve integration, it is essential to identify f...

Information about current quality state enables large improvements in the dynamic planning for the logistics of fresh products. The main reason for quality losses are temperature deviations. This article investigates how a prediction system that delivers a shelf life prediction at each transhipment point could be integrated into a semi-passive RFID label. Limiting factors for the possible predi...

This paper considers the power system restoration planning problem (PSRPP) for disaster recovery, a fundamental problem faced by all populated areas. PSRPPs are complex stochastic optimization problems that combine resource allocation, warehouse location, and vehicle routing considerations. Furthermore, electrical power systems are complex systems whose behavior can only be determined by physic...

Public opposition to landfill sites has been growing in recent years, as a more general ‘environmental morality’ has developed. Meanwhile, official policy has both taken on the concept of sustainability and fostered deregulation of the waste industry. Using examples of planning appeals and public inquiries, this paper investigates the nature of that opposition and how the planning system in Sco...
