Sequential location problems

Article Abstract:

Sequential location models are operational research paradigms wherein facilities enter the market in a sequential manner. The main components of competitive location models are space, the number of decision makers or players, pricing policies and customer distribution and behavior. A survey of individual location models is conducted based on the space the facilities are located in, with emphasis on the changes that occur when assumptions are dropped or replaced by others.

Branch-and-bound algorithms for the multi-product assembly line balancing problem

Article Abstract:

A modification of the branch-and-bound algorithm for the tree assembly line balancing problem in flexible manufacturing systems for several products is proposed. The model has an improved lower-bounding procedure and a stronger partitioning scheme. Application of the model allows the minimization of the number of work stations needed to manufacture a variety of products requiring sequential nonpreemptive tasks, some of which are shared by different products.

On a pattern sequencing problem to minimize the maximum number of open stacks

Article Abstract:

A branch and bound approach is proposed to address the problem of the minimization of open stack problem (MOSP). The method, which utilizes a greedy type strategy to choose the subsequent node to branch, aims to lessen the maximum number of open stacks during a production run. However, the method is computationally difficult to effect.
