A Multi-Exchange Neighborhood Search Heuristic for an Integrated Clustering and Machine Setup Model for PCB Manufacturing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 2001-03)In the manufacture of printed circuit boards, electronic components are attached to a blank board by one or more pick-and-place machines. Frequent machine setups, though time consuming, can reduce overall processing time. ... -
Optimization of Multiclass Queueing Networks: Polyhedral and Nonlinear Characterizations of Achievable Performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1992-12)We consider open and closed multiclass queueing networks with Poisson arrivals (in open networks), exponentially distributed class dependent service times, and with class dependent deterministic or probabilistic routing. ... -
Optimal Location of Discretionary Service Facilities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1990-11)Automatic teller machines and gasoline service stations are two examples of a growing number of "discretionary service facilities." In consuming service from these facilities, a significant fraction of customers do so on ...
