A dynamic simulation-based crashing method is introduced in this research to evaluate project networks and determine the optimum crashing configuration that minimizes the average ...
As an adaptation of the CONWIP concept, AMD has developed a heuristic approach to control the WIP in its wafer fabrication facilities (fabs). The so called "Loop Control"...
As storage deployments within enterprises continue to grow, there is an increasing need to simplify and automate. Existing tools for automation rely on extracting information in t...
We develop a hierarchical distributed production planning and control methodology, called DISCS, for a large and unstable semiconductor manufacturing process. The upper layer of D...
We study the viability of different robust optimization approaches to multiperiod portfolio selection. Robust optimization models treat future asset returns as uncertain coefficie...
