Minimizing total tardiness for the order scheduling problem
Lee, Ik Sun - In: International Journal of Production Economics 144 (2013) 1, pp. 128-134
This paper considers the order scheduling problem to minimize total tardiness. The system is composed of multiple machines, and each order consists of multiple components, with each component being manufactured on a dedicated machine (specified in advance). The completion time of each order is...

A bi-objective stochastic programming model for a centralized green supply chain with deteriorating products
Sazvar, Z.; Mirzapour Al-e-hashem, S.M.J.; Baboli, A.; … - In: International Journal of Production Economics 150 (2014) C, pp. 140-154
In recent years consumers and legislation have been pushing companies to design their activities in such a way as to reduce negative environmental impacts more and more. It is therefore important to examine the optimization of total supply chain costs and environmental impacts together. However,...

An empirical study on coalition formation and cost/savings allocation
Audy, Jean-François; D’Amours, Sophie; Rönnqvist, Mikael - In: International Journal of Production Economics 136 (2012) 1, pp. 13-27
Interest has been raised by the recent identification of potential savings through collaborative planning in logistics operations. Even though substantial savings can be realized, two key questions exist: (i) how should potential savings be divided among a group of collaborating companies and...

On the representation of timing for different structures within MRP theory
Bogataj, Marija; Grubbström, Robert W. - In: International Journal of Production Economics 140 (2012) 2, pp. 749-755
MRP Theory has been developed during the last 25 years for capturing processes concerning multi-level, multi-stage production-inventory systems in a compact way. Input–output analysis has been used to describe structures, and Laplace transforms to describe the timing relations. This theory has...
