A Pure Binary LP Model to the Facility Layout Problem
Papahristodoulou, Christos - 1999
In facility layout problems, a major concern is the optimal design or remodeling of the facilities of an organization. The decision maker's objective is to arrange the facility in an optimal way, so that the interaction among functions (i.e. machines, inventories, persons) and places (i.e....

On the Optimality of Regularity in Mixing Markovian Decision Rules for MDP Control
van der Laan, Dinard - 2010
In this paper we study Markov Decision Process (MDP) problems with the restriction that at decision epochs only a finite number of given Markovian decision rules may be applied. The elements of the finite set of allowed decision rules should be mixed to improve the performance. The set of...

A general framework for scheduling equipment and manpower on container terminals
Hartmann, Sönke - 2002
In this paper, we propose a general model for various scheduling problems that occur in container terminal logistics. The scheduling model consists of the assignment of jobs to resources and the temporal arrangement of the jobs subject to precedence constraints and sequence-dependent setup...
