Background: Optimization approaches and a models can be applied for critical production systems that experience equipment failure, repair delays and product quality control in order to maximize the total profit. We can cite, as an example, flexible manufacturing systems. Methods: Our methodology...

This study investigates the capacity of a developed production planning model to coordinate energy management within a hybrid energy system. The specific focus is on energy-intensive manufacturing firms utilizing renewable energy generation and energy storage. Unlike prior research in the field...

Researchers have recently developed a model for international supply chains for transferring lots in equal-sized batches, taking environmental concerns into account. This scheme incorporated stochastic behaviour of the exchange rate between the vendor's and buyer's currencies as part of the...

In an increasingly complex and uncertain business environment, decision makers require robust strategies for supply chain aggregate production planning that account for the interdependencies and coordination across multiple echelons of the supply chain network. Traditional approaches often...

During the period 2019-2023, Argentina was governed by a coalition of different factions of Peronism, a party that traditionally made state-led industrialization part of its narrative. In this context, there was a prioritization of the productive development and industrial policy agenda, which...

The Apparent Tardiness Cost (ATC) dispatching rule was initially developed to minimize tardiness in single-machine scheduling problems. ATC extensions have been frequently applied in other production settings, relying heavily on blocking idle machine capacity with a single-machine outlook; this...

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research done on optimization models that focus on harvest and production planning for food crops. Optimization models have been used extensively in providing insights to decision-makers on issues related to harvest and production planning in...

Large production of steel and forgings with exquisite shapes and designs of different metals like aluminum, titanium etc. is manufactured to meet the demand of different customers. It is essential that any industry should achieve their targeted value for the survival and the growth of the...
