Multi criteria assembly line balancing problem with equipment decisions
Pekin, Nilüfer; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, we develop an exact algorithm for an assembly line balancing problem with equipment selection decisions. Two objectives are considered: minimizing the total equipment costs and the number of workstations. Our aim is to choose the type of the equipment(s) in every workstation and determine the assignment of the tasks to each workstation and equipment type. We aim to propose a set of efficient solutions for each problem and leave the choice of the best solution to the decision maker̕s preferen...
A probabilistic approach to multi criteria sorting problem
Buğdacı, Aslı Gül; Köksalan, Murat; Department of Industrial Engineering (2009)
We aim to classify alternatives evaluated in multiple criteria among preference ordered classes assuming an underlying additive utility function. We develop a probabilistic classification method by calculating the probability of an alternative being in each class. We assign alternatives to classes based on threshold probabilities. We require the decision maker to place an alternative to a class when no alternatives satisfy the required thresholds. We find new probabilities for unassigned alternatives in the...
A heuristic approach for profit oriented disassembly lot-sizing problem
Kaya, Melike; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Çetinkaya, Ferda Can; Department of Industrial Engineering (2011)
In this thesis, we work on adisassembly lot-sizing problem for multiple products with parts commonality,i.e., general product structure. We assume that supply of discarded products is infinite. When a product (or a subassembly) is disassembled, all its immediate child items are obtained,i.e., complete disassembly case.Intermediate and leaf items obtained are demandedbyexternal suppliers or remanufacturers. The maximum possible salesfor each intermediate and leaf item are known.Sales of the intermediate and ...
Approximate models and solution approaches for the vehicle routing problem with multiple use of vehicles and time windows
Boer, Jeroen Wouter de; Süral, Haldun; Department of Industrial Engineering (2008)
In this study we discuss the Vehicle Routing Problem with multiple use of vehicles (VRPM). In this variant of the routing problem the vehicles may replenish at any time at the depot. We present a detailed review of existing literature and propose two mathematical models to solve the VRPM. For these two models and their several variants we provide computational results based on the test problems taken from the literature. We also discuss a case study in which we are simultaneously dealing with side constrain...
Modeling and analysis of customer requirements from a driver’s seat
Çabuk, Vuslat; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2008)
In vehicles one of the most important components which affect comfort of the driver and the purchasing decision is the driver’s seat. In order to improve design of a driver seat in a leader company of automotive sector, a comprehensive analysis of customer expectations from the driver seat is performed with a cross functional team formed by representatives of design, marketing, production, quality and services departments. In this study, collection of customer voice data and development of an exceptional “c...
