Assembly line balancing problems (ALBPs) arise whenever an assembly line is configured, redesignedor adjusted. An ALBP consists of distributing the total workload for manufacturingproducts among the work stations along the line. On the one hand, research has focussed on developingeffective and...

Assembly line balancing problems (ALBP) consist of distributing the total workload for manufacturingany unit of the products to be assembled among the work stations along a manufacturing line as used inthe automotive or the electronics industries. Usually, it is assumed that the production...

Component commonality - the use of the same version of a component across multiple products - is being increasingly considered as a promising way to offer high external variety while retaining low internal variety in operations. However, increasing commonality has both positive and negative cost...

The project investigates possibilities to reduce energy and water consumption of usedwashing machines. The idea behind is, that upgraded washing machines do not haveinevitably environmental advantages compared to new washing machines, as the latterusually consume much less energy and resources...

Akademische Ausbildung hat wie alle Bildungs- und Ausbildungsleistungen Elemente eines öffentlichenGutes, da sie im Ergebnis externe Nutzeneffekte erzeugt, die nicht nur dem einzelnen Individuum, welchesdie Ausbildung erhält, sondern einem breiteren Nutzerkreis zu Gute kommen. Zudem wird...

Der Beitrag beschreibt gängige Erfahrungen bei der Einführung und Nutzung integrierter ERP-Systeme, eine Vorgehensweise zu deren Auditierung sowie die Analyse von Ursachen nicht zufriedenstellender Performance.

While in the past decades research on multi-objective evolutionaryalgorithms (MOEA) has aimed at finding the wholeset of Pareto optimal solutions, current approaches focus ononly those parts of the Pareto front which satisfy the preferencesof the decision maker (DM). Therefore, they integratethe...

In der Vergangenheit wurden Liquiditätsrisiken sowie deren Management durch Wissenschaftund Praxis in stark schwankendem Mass beachtet. In der Regel nimmt ihre Bedeutungund damit auch der Grad der Beachtung in Zeiten wirtschaftlicher Anspannung zu, dasich Liquidität in diesen Situationen...

The edge-set encoding is a direct encoding for trees which directly representstrees as sets of edges. In contrast to indirect representations, whereusually standard operators are applied to a list of strings and the resultingphenotype is constructed by an appropriate genotype-phenotypemapping,...
