Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Initially, several heuristics--which can be thought of as assembly line balancing strategies … outputs for DEA. The analysis shows that DEA is effective in suggesting which line balancing heuristics are most promising …

considers six heuristics and their combination through an evolutionary hyper-heuristic framework. A wide set of problem … heuristics and hyper-heuristics is then super-imposed into these maps to visually reveal relationships between problem features … studied heuristics and hyper-heuristics. The PCA maps give a valuable indication of the combination of features characterizing …

with and without fleet size costs, to observe the impact of these costs on the solutions that are obtained. The heuristics … model is based on constructive heuristics with two Variable Neighborhood Descent (VND) search types: a local intra … good quality solutions suggests the use of the proposed heuristics on problems with realistic dimensions where the MIP …

-stepSilver–Meal and EOQ heuristics for the classical lot-sizing problem. The third is a variant of the Wagner–Whitin algorithm. The …-programming algorithm that obtains the optimal solution in polynomial time. For positive setup costs, the generic approaches are found to be … prohibitively time-consuming; therefore we focus on approximate solution methods. The forward DP algorithm is modified via the …

plan structures, we develop nine rule-based forward solution heuristics. Proposed heuristics are modified counterparts of … the heuristics developed previously for the classical dynamic lot sizing problem. In a numerical study, we investigate the … performance of the proposed heuristics and identify operating environment characteristics where each particular heuristic is the …

heuristics and increased decision-making randomness among our oldest subjects. However, we find that increasing the number of … options in a decision problem increases the number of heuristics brought to the task. This challenges the choice overload view …
