...Madjid Tavana; Jack Rappaport Presents a model that minimizes an aggregate measure of waiting times and queue lengths for a collection of workstations. Shows that the naïve allocation of arrivals among workstations in proportion to their processing times does not result in an optimized system. Uses...

... traditional functional layout is being replaced by a cellular approach. Aims to provide an insight into the performance of contrasting approaches to plant layout by developing generic mathematical models, based on queuing theory, to examine the limitations and ability of each layout. Subsequently optimizes...

.... Solves the two versions of the p‐median problems utilizing the heuristic proposed by Teitz and Bart using three different data sets. Also provides optimal solutions to these problems using the Lagrangian relaxation and subgradient methods in the branch‐and‐bound procedure. Shows...

It is a special type of inventory control problem which is common in many manufacturing and service organisations. The problem of manufacturing planning and inventory control has been addressed by many researchers...
