The apparent tardiness cost (ATC) is a dispatching rule that demonstrates excellent performance in minimizing the total weighted tardiness (TWT) in single-machine scheduling. The ATC rule’s performance is dependent on the lookahead parameter of an

A hybrid shifting bottleneck-tabu search heuristic for the job shop total weighted tardiness problem [PDF]
In this paper, we study the job shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the total weighted tardiness. We propose a hybrid shifting bottleneck - tabu search (SB-TS) algorithm by replacing the reoptimization step in the shifting bottleneck

Abstract To mitigate the consequences of school punishment, we must move from documenting the school‐to‐prison pipeline (STPP) toward understanding how punishment increases criminal legal system involvement. Beyond impacting academic performance, punishment may encourage disengagement from school, teachers, and peers; delinquency; and secondary ...

Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads
ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...

Bicriteria scheduling for due date assignment with total weighted tardiness [PDF]
In the due date assignment, the bicriteria scheduling models are motivated by the trade-off between the due date assignment cost and a performance criterion of the scheduling system.

OPTIMIZATION FOR ONE CLASS OF COMBINATORIAL PROBLEMS UNDER UNCERTAINTY
We formalize uncertainty and compromise solution concepts, compromise criteria and conditions for a sufficiently common class of combinatorial optimization problems which functional contains a linear convolution of weights and of arbitrary numerical ...

Successful rearing of Istocheta aldrichi, a tachinid parasitoid of invasive Japanese beetle, depended on conditions before, during, and after overwintering. Longer cold exposure increased adult emergence and accelerated post‐diapause development. Early transfer of puparia to cool conditions improved survival, while spring temperature manipulation ...

A unified formulation for home healthcare routing and scheduling problems
Abstract Home Healthcare is an essential component of healthcare systems, where caregivers visit patients' homes to deliver services. While presenting advantages with respect to institutional care, such as being cost‐effective and alleviating family burdens, it presents challenges in scheduling and routing caregivers efficiently.
