1. 6. Randomized heuristic scheduling of electrical distribution network maintenance in spatially clustered balanced zones

   University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

   Author : Carolina Offenbacher; Ellen Thornström; [2022]
   Keywords : Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem; Electrical distribution network; Heuristic algorithm; Scheduling; Handelsresandeproblemet; Eldistributionsnätverk; Heurustik algortim; Schemaläggning;

   Abstract : Reliable electricity distribution systems are crucial; hence, the maintenance of such systems is highly important, and in Sweden strictly regulated. Poorly planned maintenance scheduling leads unnecessary driving which contributes to increased emissions and costs. READ MORE

3. 7. Optimising the Planning- and Scheduling in a Complex Production : Discrete-Event Simulation in a pharmaceutical context

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

   Author : Johan Börjesson; Paulina Boutros; [2022]
   Keywords : DES; Optimisation; Pharmaceutical industry; Product mix; Production planning- and scheduling; Resource allocation; Simulation.; DES; Läkemedelsindustrin; Optimering; Produkt mix; Produktionsplanering- och schemaläggning; Resursfördelning; Simulering;

   Abstract : The aim of this study is to investigate the optimisation of production planning- and scheduling in a pharmaceutical facility using DES.Research questions: “How can DES be used to achieve flexibility and efficiency in a pharmaceutical facility?” and “How can DES be used to increase efficiency of the resource allocation in a pharmaceutical facility?”Methodology: This study has been compared to a deductive- and a quantitative research approach where a process simulation has been modelled.

4. 8. Suitable tract bank size : exploration & estimation

   University essay from SLU/Department of Forest Biomaterials and Technology (from 131204)

   Author : Anders Rowell; [2022]
   Keywords : Tactical-level; strategic-level; harvest management; inventory theory; harvest planning; forestry; tract bank;

   Abstract : The collection of stands planned and ready for harvest, also called the tract bank, gives the harvest manager a selection of stands to choose from while scheduling harvests. Too few and the harvest manager might be forced to make bad decisions; too many bring additional unnecessary costs. READ MORE

5. 9. Analytics adoption in manufacturing – benefits, challenges and enablers

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Innovation och produktrealisering

   Author : Junia Cupertino Ribeiro; [2022]
   Keywords : Analytics; Production; Performance monitoring; Industry 4.0;

   Abstract : Digitalisation is changing the manufacturing landscape with promises to enhance industrial competitiveness with new technologies and business approaches. Various data-driven applications, enabled by digital technologies, can support process monitoring, production quality control, smart planning, and optimisation by making relevant data available and accessible to different roles in production.

6. 10. Modeling the Head Effect in Hydropower River Systems using MILP and BLP Approaches

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tillämpad matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

   Author : Lina Larsson; Mikaela Lindberg; [2022]
   Keywords : Hydropower optimization; Hydropower scheduling; The head effect; Bilinear programming; Mixed-integer linear programming;

   Abstract : With a fast-growing electricity demand and a larger proportion of intermittent energy sources follows a greater need for flexible and balancing sources of electricity, such as hydropower. Planning of hydropower production is considered to be a difficult problem to solve due to several nonlinearities, combinatorial properties and the fact that it is a large scale system with spatial-temporal coupling.
