Deforestation is one of the problems that producing a significant impact on environment in countries have large extensions forests such as Peru, caused by different factors paper consumption, whose increase recent years has also generated an costs and times related to management transportation physical documents. These processes were further affected due COVID-19 restrictions, having negative c...

In order to achieve profit goals, in a situation of growing competition, and with a decreasing interest rate spread, it is becoming increasingly important for banks to optimise their cost performance. The first requisite for this is to have a reliable, analytical system of cost measurement, especially for those costs which are difficult to determine, like the indirect operating costs. Tradition...

Recent improvements in HVAC control networking technologies together with an improved understanding of the nature of cooling loads in buildings offer enormous potential improvements in the cost effectiveness of district cooling plants. By carefully coordinating the district cooling plant design with a digital controls network to the loads served, the following economic advantages over tradition...

This paper focuses on a fleet management problem that arises in container trucking industry. From the container transportation company perspective, the present and future operating costs to minimize can be divided in three components: the routing costs, the resource (i.e., driver and truck) assignment costs and the container repositioning costs (i.e., the costs of restoring a given container fl...

Distillation columns are complex processes for modeling and controlling. These columns are significant parts of most chemical industries for separation of components. Control of this process is essential for achieving certain purity for products with a minimum cost. However, nonlinearities, multivariable interaction, non-stationary behavior and severity of disturbances inside the column made th...
