Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDistribution Network Planning and Design Using Branch and Bound MethodsJalal AbdallahThis study presents implementation of the bound and branch methods as an optimization mathematical device for distribution network planning. A development technology concentrates on minimizing the total costs and provides extended opportunities for improvement of network operation, from the initial planning stage. The study illustrate the mathematical and the algorithm of the branch and bound method with an example to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,042 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Optimal Portfolio Selection based on a Hybrid Approach to improve Projects Oriented OrganizationsDriss El Hannach, Rabia Marghoubi, Mohamed DahchourNowadays, managing and allocating resources to the project portfolio is one of the most critical decision-making processes in project-oriented organizations. To achieve the most value in terms of profitability, these companies should consider taking advantage of ongoing projects and optimal management of their resources allocated to the most optimal project portfolio. Project Portfolio Selection (PPS) and resource allocation are critical … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 7 Nov 2018 · 7,279 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsApplications of Parallel Computing for Facility Location-Transportation Problems for Disaster ResponseChansiri Singhtaun, Suriya NatsupakpongThis study extends the capability and increases the performance of a traditional Branch and Bound (BB) algorithm to solve Facility Location-Transportation problems for Disaster Response (FLTDR) using parallel computing. A Two-Stage Branch and Bound (TBB) algorithm was developed to support two parallel computing approaches. This algorithm divides problems into two small sub-problems, which are a facility location sub-problem and a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Jun 2015 · 6,654 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving One-Dimensional Cutting Stock Problem with Discrete Demands and Capacitated Planning ObjectiveSirirat Wongprakornkul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: One-dimensional cutting stock problem with discrete demands and capacitated planning objective is an NP hard problem. Approach: The mathematical model with column-generation technique by a branch-and-bound procedure and the heuristic based on the first fit decreasing method are proposed. Then, both approaches were compared and some characteristics were investigated such as upper-bound value, percentage above lower-bound value, computation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,947 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Exact Algorithms for Rectilinear Distance Single-Source Capacitated Multi-Facility Weber ProblemsChansiri Singhtaun, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: The objective of this study is to develop efficient exact algorithms for a single source capacitated multi-facility location problem with rectilinear distance. This problem is concerned with locating m capacitated facilities in the two dimensional plane to satisfy the demand of n customers with minimum total transportation cost which is proportional to the rectilinear distance between the facilities … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,524 accessesView PDF Cite
