Root-cause analysis in the aftersales management
(Universidad del Zulia, 2014)
This article focuses on one of the steps proposed by the authors as a framework for improving the management of post-sale service. Specifically, the referred step tries to apply root cause analysis of failures to improve ...

On insertion tie-breaking rules in heuristics for the permutation flowshop scheduling problem
(Elsevier, 2014-05)
The most efficient approximate procedures so far for the flowshop scheduling problem with makespan objective – i.e. the NEH heuristic and the iterated greedy algorithm – are based on constructing a sequence by iteratively ...

Serial vs. divergent supply chain networks: a comparative analysis of the bullwhip effect
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
The amplification of demand variation in a supply chain network (SCN) is a well-known phenomenon called the bullwhip effect, which creates inefficiencies due to high variation in the order quantities placed between companies, ...

On bullwhip-limiting strategies in divergent supply chain networks
(Elsevier, 2014-07)
The amplification of demand variation in a supply chain network (SCN) is a well-known phenomenon called the bullwhip effect. This effect generates a large volume of inefficiencies as it moves a greater number of units than ...

Integrated Project Scheduling and Staff Assignment with Controllable Processing Times
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)
This paper addresses a decision problem related to simultaneously scheduling the tasks in a project and assigning the staff to these tasks, taking into account that a task can be performed only by employeeswith certain ...

A bounded-search iterated greedy algorithm for the distributed permutation flowshop scheduling problem
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
As the interest of practitioners and researchers in scheduling in a multi-factory environment is growing, there is an increasing need to provide efficient algorithms for this type of decision problems, characterised by ...
Article
A common framework and taxonomy for multicriteria scheduling problems with Interfering and competing Jobs: Multi-agent scheduling problems
(2014)
Most classical scheduling research assumes that the objectives sought are common to all jobs to be scheduled. However, many real-life applications can be modeled by considering different sets of jobs, each one with its ...
