CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.Abstract In a multi‐row facility layout problem (MRFLP), facilities are arranged in more than one row under the limited layout area. Considering different layout factors, various extensions of MRFLP have been modelled. However, the orientation of input/output (I/O) point in a facility, as a key factor that plays a direct impact on flow cost, is seldom ...

Building Blocks as Experiences in Dynamic Capacitated Arc Routing Problems
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic capacitated arc routing problem (DCARP) aims to update the service paths of vehicles in the capacitated arc routing problem when uncertain factors deteriorate the current schedule of vehicles' services. A DCARP scenario comprises a series of DCARP instances that share similarities with each other. Therefore, optimisation experience

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract Business schools are often criticized for reproducing growth‐oriented norms, but alternative pedagogies remain difficult to normalize. Drawing on Butler's theory of subversive performativity, this study examines how art‐based pedagogy enables academics to challenge growth logics in business schools by transforming their identities over time ...
