A Lagrangian heuristic for an integrated lot-sizing and fixed scheduling problem
Wolosewicz, Cathy; Dauzère-Pérès, Stéphane; … - In: European Journal of Operational Research 244 (2015) 1, pp. 3-12
This paper presents a novel approach for solving an integrated production planning and scheduling problem. In theory as …. Scheduling largely depends on the production quantities (lot sizes) computed at the production planning level and ignoring … scheduling constraints in planning leads to inconsistent decisions. Integrating production planning and scheduling is therefore …

The data transfer problem in a system of systems
Bocquillon, Ronan; Jouglet, Antoine; Carlier, Jacques - In: European Journal of Operational Research 244 (2015) 2, pp. 392-403
Systems of systems are collections of independent systems which interact and share information to provide services. To communicate, systems can opportunistically make use of contacts that occur when two entities are close enough to each other. In this paper, it is assumed that reliable...

Network construction problems with due dates
Averbakh, Igor; Pereira, Jordi - In: European Journal of Operational Research 244 (2015) 3, pp. 715-729
A network needs to be constructed by a server (construction crew) that has a constant construction speed which is incomparably slower than the server’s travel speed within the already constructed part of the network. A vertex is recovered when it becomes connected to the depot by an already...

The impact of process deterioration on production and maintenance policies
Kazaz, Burak; Sloan, Thomas W. - In: European Journal of Operational Research 227 (2013) 1, pp. 88-100
This paper examines a single-stage production system that deteriorates with production actions, and improves with maintenance. The condition of the process can be in any of several discrete states, and transitions from state to state follow a semi-Markov process. The firm can produce multiple...
