International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, we address the problem of routing a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) to serve a set of customers, geographically distributed, within their time windows. We assume that EVs may also be recharged en route, and the amount of energy recharged at a recharging station (RS) is a decision variable itself, that is, partial recharges are ...

Evaluation of drone system for thinning operations–a case study in Sweden
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Thinning operations in forestry typically involve a two‐machine system (TMS) with a harvester and a forwarder. Its productivity in different forest conditions is well documented. To date, drones have been used for data collection and surveillance but not as an alternative to a TMS.

Optimization of structural assembly scheduling in the aeronautics industry
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In the aeronautical industry, structural assembly refers to the stage in which parts, subassemblies, and main aircraft structures are fitted together, forming aerostructures. Aircraft structural assembly requires many complex activities to be performed over an intricate precedence network and is subject to interactions among the various ...

A genetic algorithm for scheduling an automated machine cell with tool and pallet–fixture setups
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract This paper solves the scheduling problem of identical parallel machines with tooling and pallet–fixture constraints in a high‐mix, low‐volume, high‐complexity manufacturing environment. The machines are connected through an automated material handling device and in‐between buffer places that allow for autonomous production.

Lost in the Noise: How IPO Suspensions Distract Venture Capitalists From Monitoring Portfolio Firms
Journal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine how regulatory suspensions of initial public offerings (IPOs) affect venture capitalists’ (VCs’) post‐IPO monitoring of portfolio firms in China. Using a difference‐in‐differences design that exploits three major IPO suspension episodes as quasi‐natural experiments, we provide causal evidence that these shocks divert VCs’ attention ...
