A heuristic approach for big bucket multi-level production planning problems [PDF]
, 2009 Multi-level production planning problems in which multiple items compete for the same resources frequently occur in practice, yet remain daunting in their difficulty to solve. In this paper, we propose a heuristic framework that can generate high quality

RECYCLING SOLUTIONS FOR VERTEX COLORING HEURISTICS
Journal of the Operations Research Society of Japan, 2021 The vertex coloring problem is a well-known NP-hard problem and has many applications in operations research and in scheduling. A conventional approach to the problem solves the k-colorability problem iteratively, decreasing k one by one. Whether a heuristic algorithm finds a legal k-coloring quickly or not is largely affected by an initial solution ...

Principles in Patterns (PiP) : Heuristic Evaluation of Course and Class Approval Online Pilot (C-CAP) [PDF]
, 2011 The PiP Evaluation Plan documents four distinct evaluative strands, the first of which entails an evaluation of the PiP system pilot (WP7:37). Phase 1 of this evaluative strand focuses on the heuristic evaluation of the PiP Course and Class Approval ...

Heuristic-Programming Solution of a Flowshop-Scheduling Problem [PDF]
Operations Research, 1974 This paper considers the static flowshop-scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing, as a cost function, the mean job-completion time. Within the more general framework of combinatorial optimization problems, it defines a heuristic search technique—an approach that has been successful in the past in obtaining near-optimal solutions for ...

A Hybrid Optimization Method Combining Network Expansion Planning and Switching State Optimization
IEEE Open Access Journal of Power and Energy, 2020 Combining switching state optimization (SSO) and network expansion planning (NEP) in AC systems results in a mixed-integer non-linear optimization problem. Two methodically different solution approaches are mathematical programming and heuristic methods.
