This paper addresses a new Mixed-model Assembly Line Sequencing Problem in the Footwear industry. This problem emerges in a large company, which benefits from advanced automated stitching systems. However, these systems need to be managed and optimised. Operators with varied abilities operate...

In this paper, an algorithm, called ACS-OPHS, is proposed to tackle the Orienteering Problem with Hotel Selection (OPHS). This algorithm is strongly based on the Ant Colony System (ACS); however, it differs from the ACS in the way the paths are constructed, in tuning a parameter of the...

Reasonable layout of logistics centers in the ASEAN countries has important practical significance for improving logistics network efficiency and reducing logistics transportation costs. This paper based on the current status of the ASEAN logistics network and the characteristics of the...

This paper presents the construction of a particle filter, which incorporates elements inspired by genetic algorithms, in order to achieve accelerated adaptation of the estimated posterior distribution to changes in model parameters. Specifically, the filter is designed for the situation where...

Purpose: Time and Space assembly line balancing problem (TSALBP) is the problem of balancing the line taking the area required by the task and to store the tools into consideration. This area is important to be considered to minimize unplanned traveling distance by the workers and consequently...
