Long term production planning of open pit mines by ant colony optimization
Shishvan, Masoud Soleymani; Sattarvand, Javad - In: European Journal of Operational Research 240 (2015) 3, pp. 825-836
The problem of long-term production planning of open pit mines is a large combinatorial problem. Application of mathematical programming approaches suffer from reduced computational efficiency due to the large amount of decision variables. This paper presents a new metaheuristic approximation...

Application of Intelligent Water Drops Algorithm in Reservoir Operation
Dariane, A.; Sarani, S. - In: Water Resources Management 27 (2013) 14, pp. 4827-4843
Optimum reservoir operation is a challenging problem in water resources systems. In this paper, Intelligent Water Drops (IWD) algorithm is applied in a reservoir operation problem. IWD is a population based algorithm and is initially proposed for solving combinatorial problems. The algorithm...

Simultaneous dock assignment and sequencing of inbound trucks under a fixed outbound truck schedule in multi-door cross docking operations
Liao, T.W.; Egbelu, P.J.; Chang, P.C. - In: International Journal of Production Economics 141 (2013) 1, pp. 212-229
This paper studies the simultaneous dock assignment and sequencing of inbound trucks for a multi-door cross docking operation with the objective to minimize total weighted tardiness, under a fixed outbound truck departure schedule. The problem is newly formulated and solved by six different...

Stochastic mixed model sequencing with multiple stations using reinforcement learning and probability quantiles
Brammer, Janis; Lutz, Bernhard; Neumann, Dirk - In: OR Spectrum 44 (2021) 1, pp. 29-56
In this study, we propose a reinforcement learning (RL) approach for minimizing the number of work overload situations in the mixed model sequencing (MMS) problem with stochastic processing times. The learning environment simulates stochastic processing times and penalizes work overloads with...
