A multicut algorithm for two-stage stochastic linear programs
(Elsevier, 1988-03)
Outer linearization methods, such as Van Slyke and West's L-shaped method for stochastic linear programs, generally apply a single cut on the nonlinear objective at each major iteration. The structure of stochastic programs ...
Academic application is not an oxymoron

Commentary on “A Performance-Based, Minimalist Human Resource Management Approach in Business Schools”
A GPSS/H model for a hypothetical flexible manufacturing system
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer Scientific Publishing Company ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1985-04)
A GPSS/H model is presented for a hypothetical flexible manufacturing system. The FMS consists of six machines composed of three machine types, manufactures three types of parts, and uses automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) ...
Evaluation and derivation of process plans in turning
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1996-05)
The objective of this paper is to formalize process planning selection to minimise the total processing time and the total number of processing steps. The study is performed by defining the processes and part description ...
Integrating facility location and production planning decisions
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-03)
We consider a metric uncapacitated facility location problem where we must assign each customer to a facility and meet the demand of the customer in future time periods through production and inventory decisions at the ...
Call Center Staffing with Simulation and Cutting Plane Methods
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-03)
We present an iterative cutting plane method for minimizing staffing costs in a service system subject to satisfying acceptable service level requirements over multiple time periods. We assume that the service level cannot ...
Interfacial adhesion and toughening mechanisms in an alloy of polycarbonate/polyethylene
(Elsevier, 1992)
Interfacial adhesion and toughening mechanisms in an alloy of polycarbonate/polyethylene (PC/PE) are investigated using transmission electron microscopy. In contrast to the general speculation, it is found that the PE ...
Planning and scheduling approaches to operate a particular FMS
(Elsevier, 1992-09-25)
This paper contains a detailed description of a thirteen machine COMAU FMS for a company in Torino, Italy. The monthly and daily problems that need to be addressed and the approaches that are suggested to operate this ...
Modeling and compensation of geometric errors in simultaneous cutting using a multi-spindle machine tool
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-01-18)
A volumetric error compensation method for a machining center that has multiple cutting tools operating simultaneously has been developed. Due to axis sharing, the geometric errors of multi-spindle, concurrent cutting ...
The primal power affine scaling method
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
In this paper, we present a variant of the primal affine scaling method, which we call the primal power affine scaling method. This method is defined by choosing a real r >0.5, and is similar to the power barrier variant ...
