We introduce a tactical resource allocation model for large aerospace engine system manufacturer aimed at long-term production planning. Our identifies the routings product takes through factory, and which machines should be qualified balanced loading, to reduce lead times. prove some important mathematical properties of that are used develop heuristic providing good initial feasible solution. ...

Generally, human resources play an important role in manufacturing systems as they can affect the work environment. One of the most important factors impressing on worker performance is there being an interactional interest between workers in workshops. In this paper, we deal with this new concept in cellular manufacturing systems (CMS). Besides the existence of interactional interest, workers ...

Due to occurrence of unexpected disruptions,a resilient supply chain design is important. In this paper, a bi-objective model is proposed for designing a resilient supply chain including suppliers, distribution centers (DCs), and retailers under disruption risks.The first objective function minimizes total costs. The second objective function maximizes satisfied demands. We use the augmented e-...

Management and scheduling of flights and assignment of gates to aircraft play a significant role to improve the performance of the airport, due to the growing number of flights and decreasing the flight times. This research addresses the assignement and scheduling problem of runways and gates simultaneously. Moreover, this research is the first study that considers the constraint of unavailabil...

This paper presents a bi-objective capacitated hub arc location problem with single assignment for designing a metro network with an elastic demand. In the literature, it is widely supposed that the network created with the hub nodes is complete. In this paper, this assumption is relaxed. Moreover, in most hub location problems, the demand is assumed to be static and independent of the location...

This paper presents a new mathematical programming model for the bi-criteria mixed-model assembly line balancing problem in a just-in-time (JIT) production system. There is a set of criteria to judge sequences of the product mix in terms of the effective utilization of the system. The primary goal of this model is to minimize the setup cost and the stoppage assembly line cost, simultaneously. B...
