A Study and Performance Evaluation of Evolutionary Optimization Techniques for Multi-objective Master Production Scheduling Problems
Abstract: Master production schedule (MPS) can effectively and efficiently synchronize the operations in any organization. MPS, which is posed as one of the multi-objective parameter optimization problems, is a plan that determines optimal values of products to be produced. For many engineering optimization problems, more competitive and optimal solutions can be obtained by using Heuristic evolutionary optimization algorithms. Among these, two main algorithms considered here are the differential evolution (DE) whose …

Lean Production using Casting Simulation to Promote FTR Approach
Abstract: When the talk is about the green production, then intention is to develop a product with first-time-right approach. Foundry desperately needs such production system, as it provides wide range of products. Even the small errors in the inputs (concept, design, raw material, process, etc.) can lead to wasted outputs [1], and invite unwanted cost of reworking. Thus, it is of extreme importance to develop the castings with FTR (first time …

VIKOR Method for Multi Criteria Decision Making in Academic Staff Selection
Abstract: For any academic organization, the selection of qualified personnel is a key success factor. As many factors such as professional ability, communication ability, work experience and so on influence the personnel selection, this becomes a Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem. MCDM methods provide a ranking of the available alternatives thereby, decision of critical thinking become easier. A branch of MCDM methods named Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje in …
