Numerous problems encountered in real life cannot be actually formulated as a single
objective problem; hence the requirement of Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) had arisen …

Disassembly is indispensable to recycle and remanufacture end-of-life products, and a
disassembly line-balancing problem (DLBP) is studied frequently. Recent research on …

For environmentally conscious and sustainable manufacturing, manufacturers need to
incorporate product recovery by designing manufacturing systems to include reverse …

Automation in an assembly line can be achieved using robots. In robotic U-shaped
assembly line balancing (RUALB), robots are assigned to workstations to perform the …

Global optimization techniques have been used extensively due to their capability in
handling complex engineering problems. In addition to a number of well known global …

This paper addresses a sequencing problem with uncertain task times in mixed model
assembly lines. In this problem, task times are not known exactly but are given by intervals of …

A mixed-model assembly line (MMAL) is a type of production line which is capable of
producing a variety of different product models simultaneously and continuously. The design …

In the present study, multi-objective optimization of centrifugal pumps is performed in three
steps. In the first step, efficiency (η) and the required net positive suction head (NPSHr) in a …

Fracture and wrinkling are two major defects in sheet metal forming and can be eliminated
via an appropriate drawbead design. This article proposes to adopt a multi-objective particle …

In this paper, a multi-product multi-chance constraint joint single-vendor multi-buyers
inventory problem is considered in which the demand follows a uniform distribution, the lead …
