Little research has been done on hierarchical production planning systems (HPPS) in the context of rolling schedules with service-level constraints. Here, we adapt the stabilized-cycle strategy, which has initially been created for the master planning level (Meistering and Stadtler in Prod Oper...

Due to diversified and frequently changing demands from customers, technological advances and global competition, manufacturers rely on collaboration with their business partners to share costs, risks and expertise. How to take advantage of advancement of technologies to effectively support...

A key problem of construction firms' management and economy is organization of effective participation in public tenders. The direct executor, who determines the price of the contract, may be interested in obtaining as many contracts as possible. It means that his strategic behavior in tender...

Lehrkräfte können auf eine Vielzahl von etablierten Unterrichtsmethoden zurückgreifen, um kooperatives Lernen in den Präsenzunterricht zu integrieren. Im Distanzunterricht während der Corona-Pandemie werden diese Methoden jedoch häufig nicht eingesetzt. Dadurch gehen das gemeinschaftliche,...

We describe a decentralized routing algorithm with physical time windows for modular conveying systems. Existing routing algorithms for modular conveyors are already capable of bi-directional conveying while avoiding conflicts such as collisions, deadlocks, livelocks and starvation effects. In...

Through the experiences of the Great 1994 Hanshin-Awaji earthquake and The Great 2011 (Higashi-Nihon) East Japan Earthquake, it has been important for Japanese local Government to build a comprehensive evacuation program on a large earthquake occurrence in near future. According to the experts'...

Purpose: Nowadays, governments around the world are active in constructing the high-speed railway. Therefore, it is significant to make research on this increasingly prevalent transport. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper, we simulate the process of the passenger's travel mode choice by...

The growth of foreign trade and globalization emphasize the weaknesses of extended supply chain in front of occurrence of disruptive events that impact differently (deviation, disruption, disaster) the normal operation, in some cases the consequences are temporary but the worst scenario is when...

Due to the highly dynamic markets, an increasing complexity, and individualization of products, efficient and robust logistical processes are difficult to achieve through the use of central planning and control approaches. The aim of the contribution is the design of a decentralized, autonomous...

The objective of the current paper is to present an intelligent system for complex process monitoring, based on artificial intelligence technologies. This system aims to realize with success all the complex process monitoring tasks that are: detection, diagnosis, identification and...
