In real life due dates are intervals rather than points in time. In this paper we deal with hybrid flowshops where jobs do not incur in penalties if they are completed inside given due windows. The objective to minimize is the weighted earliness and tardiness from the given due window. We propose simple heuristics based on iterated greedy and iterated local search. We present some procedures: an optimal idle time insertion and a two stage local search which considers a limited local search on a exact representation. We carry out a complete computational experiment, including a reimplementation and comparison of other 9 competing algorithms. A benchmark of more than 3000 instances is used to show that our presented methods are statistically better than existing approaches. Experiments are also conducted to analyze the contribution of each part of the presented procedure.

Competitive enterprises are facing increasing challenges to balance business performance and economic gains with environmental and social issues. In an age of increasing regulatory legislation for energy conservation and waste management, consumer and civil society pressures, sustainability through supply chains is not a fad but a new discipline for strategic competitiveness. Moreover, Sustainable Supply Chains and Logistics (SSCL) are important for companies seeking competitiveness on a global level.

The aim of this communication is to present an earlier study of how to structure modelling process of complex and large scale systems for risk assessment and management purpose. The approach, in a first stage, uses ontology paradigm to determine variables (or concepts) characterizing system locally and the nature of relationships relating them and, in a second stage, object oriented Bayesian network (OOBN) to characterize the strength of these relationships in terms of conditional probabilities tables given that one of main feature of complex systems is the uncertainty that affect the relationships between different variables. A case study in the domain of risk assessment of flash floods effect on the infrastructures inoperability is considered to show potential applicability of the developed approach.

Many definitions for operations strategy appear in literature. Yet, after analysing some of these important definitions, there were some common denominators: planning and decision-making. It is through correct operations strategy planning and decisions that organizations achieve competitive edge, and for this reason, the subject is of major importance. In this paper we present a review on operations strategy (OS) in manufacturing, services and product-service organizations. Through the literature analysis we found several differences and fewer similarities between OS in manufacturing and services and also the positioning of product-service systems (PSS) OS, comparing to OS in manufacturing and in services. Our foremost contribution is providing a literature review and an analysis on the content of the OS frameworks.

The supplier selection problem is one of the strategic decisions that have a significant impact on the performance of the supply chain. In this study, supplier selection problem of a well-known refining company in Africa is investigated and an integrated ANP-PROMETHEE methodology is used to select the best supplier providing the most customer satisfaction for the criteria determined. After the main criteria and sub-criteria for supplier selection are defined to construct the ANP model, the weights of criteria are calculated using Analytic network process approach and then PROMETHEE method is used for optimal ranking of the alternatives. The effectiveness of this methodology for the selection of the best supplier among three alternatives for process chemicals used for refining processes has been demonstrated.

This paper presents and compares two model-based approaches to ensure the dependability of a rail system in the context of ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System). V&V activities against safety properties are carried out by simulating train operations on State machine models of railway infrastructures. This paper presents this approach by means of a comparative study between two tools which analyze the models with various verification strategies. The tools used are Matlab Simulink environment and the DIVERSITY symbolic execution tool from CEA LIST.

Different methods are used to address Quay Crane Assignment and Scheduling Problems (QCASP). In current literature often the unloading time is used to optimize QCASPs. However, this approach neglects the value of the vessel's freight. This paper therefore uses a cost based approach to optimize container terminal operations, which allows the model to focus on two objectives. The first objective is to show the impact of varying freight lead time costs on the priority of vessels and consequently the Quay Crane (QC) assignment and scheduling. The second objective is to implement adjustable QC operation costs and working rate and show the impact of particular adjustments. The model results show vessel prioritization based on the value of the vessel's freight. The variation in crane operation cost only impacts the assignment and scheduling in the occurrence of high crane operating costs relative to the value of the vessel's freight.

Over the recent decades, situation awareness errors and human errors are always considered among primary factors contributing to railway incidents and accidents. Hence, the need to focus research efforts on approaches centered on human factors rather than absolute technical solutions is becoming greater. In this paper, we firstly present the rail human factors context and cognitive ergonomics as a field of research in ergonomics. Then we state a brief overview of human errors contributing to rail accidents and that have major impact on railway safety. Secondly, we review models related to human cognitive behaviour in working environment. Then, we base our research on the Endesley model in order to propose an explicative model of cognitive processes involved in hidden hazardous situations. Through this model, we introduce the human cognitive processes with emphasis on situation awareness errors and complacency which are considered among causal factors of accidents including railway ones. In relation to the proposed model, we will proceed to human behaviour analysis and a cognitive ergonomic intervention in railway environment. This latter will allow to understand human behaviour in hazardous or hidden hazardous situation, to design the human cognitive processes involved, and then to reduce the resulting accidents and incidents.

Deciding facility location is a hard and sophisticated problem for decision makers as there are many criteria some of which are conflicting and subjective. Determining the location of an automatic teller machine (ATM) for deployment is also a challenging decision for banks which has not been addressed adequately in the literature up to now. Where to locate the automatic teller machines is a strategic and long-term decision therefore making the right decision is important for the banks. In this paper, both qualitative and quantitative criteria that should be considered are defined for ATM deployment problem. The criteria are categorized into main clusters in accordance with their similar characteristics and the interdependencies between them are explained. Analytic Network Process (ANP) methodology is preferred to evaluate the importance levels of these criteria. This study intends to build up a generic framework that can be used afterwards to determine the best locations for off-site ATMs of a bank which cover all customer demand and keep costs at a minimum level in ATM deployment problem. The study also covers the banks which have ATMs or do not have any ATMs and searching for the best locations in order to deploy new ATMs.
