Computing trade-offs in robust design: Perspectives of the mean squared error
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011)
Researchers often identify robust design as one of the most effective engineering design methods for continuous quality improvement. When more than one quality characteristic is considered an important question is how to ...
A fuzzy QFD approach to determine supply chain management strategies in the dairy industry
(Springer, 2013)
The aim of this study is to identify the crucial logistics requirements and supply chain management (SCM) strategies for the dairy industry. For product or service development quality function deployment (QFD) is a useful ...
A Fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS-Based Group Decision-Making Approach to IT Personnel Selection
(Springer, 2018)
Global competition and the rapid development of information technologies force organizations to continuously change their ways. Nowadays organizations need personnel who make a difference through innovative ideas and who ...
An interactive memetic algorithm for production and manufacturing problems modelled as a multi-objective travelling salesman problem
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)
In this paper a preference-based interactive memetic random-key genetic algorithm (PIMRKGA) is developed and used to find (weakly) Pareto optimal solutions to manufacturing and production problems that can be modelled as ...
A fuzzy AHP-PROMETHEE II approach for evaluation of solar power plant location alternatives in Turkey
(IOS Press, 2017)
Solar energy produced through a solar power plant is a freely available non-polluting renewable source of energy that reduces the greenhouse effect. Selecting the best location for a solar power plant among several location ...
Radio frequency identification system optimisation models for lifecycle of a durable product
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010)
We address the implementation of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to support and manage durable products over their entire lifecycle with a focus on optimising the RFID tagging system. We develop general ...
Optimization Model for Distributed Routing for Disaster Area Logistics
(IEEE, 2009)
The problem of transportation in a disaster area can be seen broadly as having two aspects: (a) moving people and materials out of an area and (b) moving people and materiel into the same area. The common thread here is ...
An intelligent approach to supplier evaluation in automotive sector
(Springer, 2016)
During the process of supplier evaluation selecting the best desirable supplier is one of the most critical problems of companies since improperly selected suppliers may cause losing time cost and market share of a company. ...
Analytic Network Process (ANP) for solar power plant location problem
(Institute of Industrial Engineers, 2010)
Solar energy is the most readily available source of energy and one of the most important sources of the renewable energy because it is non-polluting and helps in lessening the greenhouse effect. Main problem of establishing ...
Determining master schedule of surgical operations by integer programming: A case study
(Institute of Industrial Engineers, 2010)
Fixed amounts of available Operating Room (OR) time compatibility of ORs and restrictions related to surgery equipment and surgeon availabilities complicate the process of preparing the master surgical schedule at hospitals. ...
