International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a model showing that when the demand for labor services is inelastic and individual behavior is imperfectly monitored, a firm's employees may prefer to protect its shirkers and conceal information about peers' performance from the firm.

An effective and efficient matheuristic for the electric vehicle routing problem with capacitated recharging stations

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 ...

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.
