A Hybrid Cuckoo Algorithm for Lot Scheduling Problem Using Extended Basic Period and Power of Two Policy
Journal Title: Mehran University Research Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2016, Vol 35, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper addresses ELSP (Economic Lot Scheduling Problem) using EBPA (Extended Basic Period Approach) model with PoT (Power of Two) policy. The objective is to solve the ELSP using HCA (Hybrid Cuckoo Search Algorithm). The proposed approach improves the solution (i.e. minimizes the total cost which is the sum of setup and inventory holding costs) obtained through GA (Genetic Algorithm).The solution obtained from HCA is compared with GA on 17 Bomberger?s problems. The comparison indicates the superiority of the proposed HCA over GA with respect to the solution quality

Captive Power Plant Selection for Pakistan Cement Industry in Perspective of Current Energy Crises: A Fuzzy-AHP Approach
Based on the prevailing energy crisis, it is reasonable for the Cement industry of Pakistan to look for alternate sources of electricity generation. The decision of selecting a CPP (Captive Power Plant) depends on a broa...
Biohydrogen Production from Co-Digestion of High Carbohydrate Containing Food Waste and Combined Primary and Secondary Sewage Sludge
In this paper, FW (Food Waste) and SS (Sewage Sludge) were co-digested for biohydrogen production. After characterization both FW and SS were found as better option forbiohydrogen production. FW was rich in carbohydrate...
Experimental Analysis and Reduction of FWM Using Optical Rectangle Filter for WDM
Nonlinearities implanted by refractive index and scattering degrade the performance of optical networks. In this paper, FWM (Four Wave Mixing) has been analyzed for four different channels with 10 nm spacing. Due to the...
