The performance of traditional lot sizing heuristics in a disassembly environment

The performance of traditional lot sizing heuristics in a disassembly environment Z. Pelin Bayindir, Department of Industrial Engineering, Middle East Technical University, Middle East Technical University, Department of Industrial Engineering, 06531, Ankara, Turkey, bayindir@ie.metu.edu.tr, Tulu Ertem In this study we focus on a disassembly system where there are a number of end-of-life products (root) that can be disassembled to satisfy the demand for their child (leaf) items. The demand for the leaves are assumed to be known over a finite planning horizon. There is a set-up cost for disassembling roots, in addition to unit costs. Leaf item inventory is kept. We propose a two-phase approach that utilizes traditional lot sizing heuristics for determining the type and number of roots to be disassembled. A computational study is carried out to assess the performance of the proposed approach.

Our objective is to investigate the performa...
The Use of multimetric framework in calibrating the HBV model
Sürer, Serdar; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2015)
In this study, the HBV model is applied on the upper Euphrates basin in Turkey. Individual sensitivity of the parameters is analyzed by calibrating the model using the Multi-Objective Shuffled Complex Evolution (MOSCEM) algorithm. The calibration is performed against snow cover area (SCA) in addition to runoff data for the water years 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. Detailed validation studies are also performed for the snow products namely snow recognition (H10) and snow water equivalent (H13) over Turkey and A...

Determinants of subcontracting and kegional development: An empirical study on Turkish textile and engineering industries
Taymaz, Erol (2005-07-01)
Recent studies on small- and medium-sized Turkish textile and engineering industries, development establishments emphasize the importance of networking and regional clusters for (regional) industrial development. This study is focused on an important form of cooperation between firms: the subcontracting relationship. The aim is to identify the determinants of subcontracting in Turkish textile and engineering industries and to derive policy implications from our empirical analysis. Subcontract offering and s...
