To maintain a competitive edge, companies today must be able to efficiently allocate resources to optimally commit and fulfill requested orders. As such, order processing and resource allocation models have become increasingly sophisticated to handle the complexity of these decisions. In our...

The Regional Manure Management Model, developed for the ERS project on "Manure Management for Improved Water Quality," is used to evaluate the cost and feasibility of manure land application as a manure management strategy at the regional level. This model is a nonlinear mathematical programming...

Many agencies, such as the United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank, the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, provide funding to prevent HIV/AIDS infections...

This research analyses optimal bus stop location using a sequentially applied two-stage model. During the first stage the bus stops are strategically located throughout the public transport system on a macroscopic scale while at the same time the social cost of the network is minimized. The...

In this paper a deterministic mixed 0–1 model for the air traffic flow management problem is presented. The model allows for flight cancelation and rerouting, if necessary. It considers several types of objective functions to minimize, namely, the number of flights exceeding a given time delay...

We present a framework for modeling multistage mixed 0–1 problems for the air traffic flow management problem with rerouting (ATFMRP) under uncertainty in the airport arrival and departure capacity, the air sector capacity and the flight demand. The model allows for flight cancelation, if...
