Selected publications

• A genetic algorithm for order acceptance and scheduling in additive manufacturing

  International Journal of Production Research · 2021 · 44 citations

  We consider the problem of order acceptance and scheduling faced by an additive manufacturing facility consisting of multiple build chambers and postprocessing operations for support removal and surface finishing. We model each build chamber as a batch processing machine with processing times determined by the nesting and orientation of parts within the chamber. Due to the difficulty of developing an explicit functional relation between part batching, batch processing time, and postprocessing re…

• Order release in production planning and control systems: challenges and opportunities

  International Journal of Production Research · 2021-11-05 · 25 citations

  articleSenior authorCorresponding

  Production planning and control (PPC) systems are important to the competitiveness of manufacturing firms and their ability to benefit from recent technological advances. We give an overview of research and unsolved research questions in PPC systems related to the order release function that sets output targets for autonomous production units that manage production at the shop-floor level. We describe the hierarchical Manufacturing Planning and Control (MPC) and Advanced Planning and Scheduling…

• Safety stock placement with market selection under load-dependent lead times

  IISE Transactions · 2022-06-06 · 4 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior authorCorresponding

  We study the problem of safety stock placement in a supply chain with market selection decisions. A manufacturer with deterministic, load-dependent lead time supplies multiple warehouses, each serving multiple retailers. Each retailer has access to a set of potential markets with different characteristics. Serving more markets increases revenues, but also increases the manufacturer’s lead time, resulting in higher inventory costs. Adopting the Guaranteed Service Approach, we present a nonlinear…
