The effectiveness and efficiency of optimization algorithms might deteriorate when solving large-scale binary integer programs (BIPs). Consequently, researchers have tried to fix the values of certain variables called adjunct variables, and only optimize a small problem version formed from the...

Aircraft operations and maintenance is heavily regulated to ensure safety. This necessitates a large volume of paperwork as evidence of due process. The paperwork flows through the multiple stakeholders including Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Lessors, Maintenance Repair and Overhaul...

Purpose: Organizations have varied levels of success with Lean implementation and many did not see tangible results. Some scholars believe the reason has to do with weak Lean culture or Lean values (LVs). The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship between Lean implementation...

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations create global awareness, political responsibility, enhanced measurements, and social feedback by organizing these priorities into seventeen goals and defining measurable time-bound targets. SDG7, "Affordable and Clean...
