U-shaped assembly line layouts and their impact on labor productivity: an experimental study

Article Abstract:

A research is conducted to empirically confirm whether the U-shaped assembly lines improve labor productivity. Results indicate that labor productivity would improve significantly under certain conditions when switching from a straight-line layout to a U-shaped layout but not in all cases.

Sensitivity analysis of the optimal assignment

Article Abstract:

Sensitivity analysis of the optimal solution for the assignment problem (AP) is presented. Properties of AP are investigated and several lemmas determining two types of sensitivity range are proposed along with the example, which demonstrates the approaches, which are useful in practice.

N-period contracts with ordering constraints and total minimum commitments: optimal and heuristic solutions

Article Abstract:

The optimal purchasing policy for an N-period contract, and a more readily implementable heuristic policy is presented. By calculating the expecting profits of following such a policy, the user can conveniently choose between contracts with different commitments, constraints, and prices.
