We consider a generalization of the classical quadratic assignment problem, where material flows between facilities are uncertain, and belong to a budgeted uncertainty set. The objective is to find a robust solution under all possible scenarios in the given uncertainty set. We present an exact...

This contribution presents two heuristic approaches for multi-level, single-machine lot sizing and scheduling. The … first one is a variant of a so-called randomized regret based heuristic which is assumed to be the fastest available method … shows that these two methods are complementary, i.e. the randomized regret based heuristic performs good in those cases in …

One of the most important problems in the petroleum industry is the well-known petrol station replenishment problem with time windows, which calls for the determination of optimal routes by using a fleet of tank trucks to serve a set of petrol stations over a given planning horizon. In this...

This research effort presents a tabu search algorithm to solve the dynamic airlift loading problem. Given a set of palletized cargo items which require transportation from an aerial port of embarkation to an aerial port of debarkation within a pre-specified time frame, the dynamic airlift...
