This study considers the operation assignment and capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems. A set of operations is selected to be processed and assigned to the machines together with their required tools. The purchase or usage of the required tools incurs a cost. The machines have scarce time and tool magazine capacities. The objective is to maximize the total weight of the assigned operations minus the total tooling costs. We use Lagrangean relaxation approach to obtain upper and lower bounds on the optimal objective function values. The computational experiments show that our approach provides near optimal bounds in reasonable solution times.

Capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems: branch and bound based approaches
ÖZPEYNİRCİ, SELİN; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
This study considers an operation assignment and capacity allocation problem that arises in flexible manufacturing systems. The machines have limited time and tool magazine capacities and the available tools are limited. Our objective is to maximise total weight of assigned operations. We develop a branch and bound algorithm that finds the optimal solutions and a beam search algorithm that finds high quality solutions in polynomial time.
A resource investment problem with time/resource trade-offs
Colak, Erdem; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2014-05-01)
In this study, we consider a Resource Investment Problem with time/resource trade-offs in project networks. We assume that there is a single renewable resource and the processing requirement of an activity can be reduced by investing extra resources. Our aim is to minimize the maximum resource usage, hence, the total amount invested for the single resource, while meeting the pre-specified deadline. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer linear model and find optimal solutions for small-sized problem in...
A multicriteria sorting approach based on data envelopment analysis for R&D project selection problem
Karasakal, Esra (Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01)
In this paper, multiple criteria sorting methods based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) are developed to evaluate research and development (R&D) projects. The weight intervals of the criteria are obtained from Interval Analytic Hierarchy Process and employed as the assurance region constraints of models. Based on data envelopment analysis, two threshold estimation models, and five assignment models are developed for sorting. In addition to sorting, these models also provide ranking of the projects. The de...
A Multi-Attribute Assignment Goal-Programming Model with Incentives
Saatçioğlu, Ömer (JSTOR, 1987-4)
A multi-attribute assignment goal-programming model is developed in this paper for the selection and assignment of transfer personnel. Attributes and incentives are used to select the correct type of people from surplus personnel and assign them to vacant positions. The model is illustrated in a simple, exemplary case problem, and the results are interpreted. The model is solved by using a sequential linear goal-programming algorithm and a mixed-integer programming subroutine.
A deterministic inventory/production model with general inventory cost rate function and piecewise linear concave production costs
Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Frenk, J. B. G. (Elsevier BV, 2007-05-16)
We present a thorough analysis of the economic production quantity model with shortages under a general inventory cost rate function and piecewise linear concave production costs. Consequently, an effective solution procedure, particularly useful for an approximation scheme, is proposed. A computational study is appended to illustrate the performance of the proposed solution procedure.
