... and accordingly better part quality. We mathematically define the pixel blending problem and discuss its properties. Based on the formulation, we present several optimization models for solving the problem including a mixed-integer programming model, a linear programming model, and a two-stage optimization model...

... generations and models, and this paper presents such new methods. Mixed-integer programming models are developed for (1) designing manufacturing system configurations that are cost effective for product evolution involving uncertainty and (2) maximizing the recurrences of manufacturing tasks on the same...

..., the problem should be extended to account for more complex architectures of scalable machines, for example with a variety of module types as described in ( 7 ). 15 09 2005 15 08 2006 design engineering flexible manufacturing systems cost reduction integer programming Spicer...

... of the time and cost constraints was discussed. A data mining algorithm was used to determine a candidate set of modules and options to be considered for building subassemblies. The subassembly selection problem has been formulated as an integer programming model. A heuristic algorithm was applied to select...

... knowledge source node can be used iteratively or not, the knowledge-source library can include multiple copies of a particular knowledge source. In the integer programing formulation presented below, each of the copies of a knowledge source is then treated as a separate knowledge source. The maximum number...
