Optimization of sample size and order size in an inventory model with quality inspection and return of defective items

To ensure all products as perfect, inspection is essential, even though it is not possible to inspect all products after producing them like some special type products as plastic joint for the water pipe. In this direction, this paper develops an inventory ...

Proactive Synthesis of Recursive Tree-to-String Functions from Examples

Viktor Kuncak, Mikaël Mayer, Jad Hamza

Synthesis from examples enables non-expert users to generate programs by specifying examples of their behavior. A domain-specific form of such synthesis has been recently deployed in a widely used spreadsheet software product. In this paper we contribute t ...

Multi-index Stochastic Collocation for random PDEs

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini

In this work we introduce the Multi-Index Stochastic Collocation method (MISC) for computing statistics of the solution of a PDE with random data. MISC is a combination technique based on mixed differences of spatial approximations and quadratures over the ...

A production scheduling problem with uncertain sequence-dependent set-up times and random yield

Paul Xirouchakis, Byung Jun Joo

A scheduling problem in a real production line with uncertain sequence-dependent set-up times and a random yield is considered. The production line can produce multiple product types as production lots, each of which is composed of a number of products of ...

Aligning Supply Chain and Product Portfolios

Ralf Seifert, Jean-Sébastien Tancrez, Kerstin Langenberg

In recent years, it has become widely accepted that optimal supply chain design depends on the type of product the chain is catering to. Moreover, as opposed to carrying one product type only, firms deliver a variety of both functional and innovative produ ...

Continuum radiative heat transfer modeling in media consisting of optically distinct components in the limit of geometrical optics

Sophia Haussener

Continuum-scale equations of radiative transfer and corresponding boundary conditions are derived for a general case of a multi-component medium consisting of arbitrary-type, non-isothermal and non-uniform components in the limit of geometrical optics. The ...

Microstructural development of early age hydration shells around cement grains

Karen Scrivener, Emmanuel Gallucci, Prakash Chandra Mathur

An important microstructural aspect of the early hydration of Portland cement (K) is the formation of a shell of hydration products around cement grains. There is, at present, limited information on the mechanism of formation of the shell and of the chemis ...

Modeling and implementing strategies for supply chain alignment

Kerstin Langenberg

Optimal supply chain design depends on the business context the chain caters for. In this dissertation, we are concerned with attaining and maintaining this alignment between a firm's supply chain portfolio and its business context. Following an introducti ...

A novel optimization approach for minimum cost design of trusses

Abhinav Gupta

This paper describes new optimization strategies that offer significant improvements in performance over existing methods for bridge-truss design. In this study, a real-world cost function that consists of costs on the weight of the truss and the number of ...
