Constructing the FCM model of the agile NPD process with a genetic algorithm: the case of Iranian companies

Fekri, R.; Alizadeh, S. - In: International Journal of Data Analysis Techniques and … 1 (2009) 4, pp. 332-354

The agile New Product Development (NPD) process is a complex and integrated process wherein all of its main factors have cause-and-effect relationships. A Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) can be successfully applied to show the cause-and-effect relationships between the essential components in this...

Scheduling identical parallel batch processing machines to minimise makespan using genetic algorithms

Damodaran, Purushothaman; Hirani, Neal S.; … - In: European Journal of Industrial Engineering 3 (2009) 2, pp. 187-206

This paper aims to minimise the makespan of a set of identical batch processing machines in parallel. The batch processing machine can process a batch of jobs as long as the total size of all the jobs in the batch does not exceed its capacity. The processing time of the job and its size are...

Heuristic to solve bi-objective allocation problem in distribution logistics

Malairajan, R.A.; Ganesh, K.; Koh, S.C. Lenny - In: International Journal of Logistics Economics and … 2 (2009) 1, pp. 40-50

Generalised assignment problem (GAP) is a well-known non-deterministic polynomial (NP) hard combinatorial optimisation problem to find the minimum cost during assignment of jobs to agents so that each job is assigned exactly once and agents are not overloaded. In this research, we look at the...

Accuracy measures for American put option pricing algorithms

Goldenberg, David H. - In: International Journal of Financial Markets and Derivatives 1 (2009) 1, pp. 5-40

I address the dichotomy between American put option pricing theory and the numerical algorithms designed to estimate … introduce an economically viable metric that identifies all the errors of American put option pricing algorithms. The accuracy … of such algorithms can thereby be fully assessed. A rational option pricing result generalises the usual integral …

A metaheuristics-based decision support system for the performance measurement of reverse supply chain management

Kannan, G. - In: International Journal of Business Performance Management 11 (2009) 1/2, pp. 152-169

The main objective of any supply chain is to satisfy its customers by supplying goods and services at the right time, the right place, the right quantity and the right quality, which determines the productivity. This age of globalisation has made the pressure more intense for supply chains. In...
