Real-time business intelligence (RTPI) is an approach to data analytics that enables business users to get up-to-the-minute data by directly accessing operational systems or feeding business transactions into a real-time data warehouse and business intelligence (BI) system. Business Intelligence (BI) technology has helped many organizations to make better and faster decisions and improve its pe...

 This paper considers a bi-objective scheduling problem in a flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) which minimizes the maximum completion time (i.e., makespan) and maximum tardiness simultaneously. A new mathematical model is considered to reflect all aspect of the manufacturing cell. This type of scheduling problem is known to be NP-hard. To cope with the complexity of such a hard problem, a genet...

We present a bi-objective model for a green truck scheduling and routing problem at a cross-docking system. This model determines three key decisions at the cross dock: (1) defining a sequence and schedule of inbound trucks at the receiving door, (2) specifying a sequence and a schedule of outbound trucks at the shipping door, and (3) determining the routes of the outbound truck while serving c...

Abstract Local search (LS) algorithms are efficient metaheuristics to solve combinatorial problems. The performance of LS highly depends on the neighborhood exploration solutions. Many methods have been developed over years improve efficiency different problems operations research. In particular, strategy and exclusion irrelevant neighboring solutions design mechanisms that be carefully conside...
