A Problem-Specific and Effective MetaheuristicFor Flexibility Design

Matching uncertain demand with capacities is notoriously hard. Operationsmanagers can use mix-flexible resources to shift excess demands to unused capacities.To find the optimal configuration of a mix-flexible production network, aflexibility design problem (FDP) is solved. Existing literature on FDPs providesqualitative structural insights, but work on solution methods is rare.[...]
