Many industrial processes involve making parts with an assembly of machines, where each machine carries out an operation on a part, and the finished product requires a whole series of operations. A well-studied example of such a factory structure is the transfer line, which involves a sequence of machines. Optimizing transfer lines has been a subject of much study in the industrial engineering ...

Despite the growing growth of technology, handwritten signature has been selected as the first option between biometrics by users. In this paper, a new methodology for offline handwritten signature verification and recognition based on the Shearlet transform and transfer learning is proposed. Since, a large percentage of handwritten signatures are composed of curves and the performance of a sig...

The economic order quantity (EOQ) model is the simplest and earliest inventory model in the literature. Its simple mathematics is attributed to its assumptions, which are rarely met. Salameh and Jaber [2000. Economic production quantity model for items with imperfect quality. Int. J. Prod. Econ. 64, 59–64] addressed one of these assumptions that items received or produced are not of perfect qua...
