Effective scheduling can assist companies to survive in the competitive market. Single machine scheduling is an important optimization problem in the scheduling research area. It can be found in a wide range of real-world engineering problems, from manufacturing to computer science. Due to the high complexity of single machine scheduling problems, developing approximation methods, particularly metaheuristic algorithms, for solving them have absorbed considerable attention. In this study, a Lion Optimization Algorithm (LOA) is employed to solve a single machine with maintenance activities, where the objective is to minimize the Total Absolute Deviation of Compilation Times (TADC). In the scheduling literature, TADC as an objective function has hardly been studied. To evaluate the performance of the LOA, it was compared against a set of well-known metaheuristics. Therefore, a set of problem was generated, and a comprehensive experimental analysis was conducted. The results of computational experiments indicate the superiority of the proposed optimization method.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101201,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Operations and Computers","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 10-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.susoc.2021.08.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81493564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper additionally presents a short presentation on recommender framework and talks about different categories of this framework. From the start, information is cleaned by expelling the filthy information as extra space and duplicates. Then the job recommendations are made to the target applicants on the basis of their preferences. It utilizes different Machine Learning procedures which results show that Random Forest Classifier (RFC) gives the most noteworthy expectation accuracy when contrasted with different procedures. Finally, the optimization technique is utilized to get the most exact outcome. The advantage of recommender framework in career orientation is expressed. Geo-area based recommendation framework is utilized to find the organization's position which can assist the ideal applicants with reaching their destination. This examination shows that the utilization of job recommender system can assist with improving the recommendation of appropriate employment for work searchers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101201,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Operations and Computers","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 83-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666412721000489/pdfft?md5=346b8c5896b1d4d183a2bb54df41ac9b&pid=1-s2.0-S2666412721000489-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85612011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Application of industry 4.0 furnishes better performance and efficiency with improved reliability and robustness. The present research provides a novel framework which takes in consideration the complexity and flexibility of the working environment within the factory premises, previously not explored. Smart systems equipped with sensors and communicators are responsible for monitoring information and detecting malfunctions pre-hand which eventually boosts the system performance. Furthermore, the research explores the concept of predictive maintenance in industry 4.0 setup which apprehends any system failure based on atmospheric related changes. A novel algorithm is explored in this research which takes in consideration multisource diverse dataset based on varying environmental conditions and simultaneously furnishing inputs for predictive maintenance in Industry 4.0 implementation, thereby providing a transparent and effective manufacturing method. The framework for Industry 4.0 is validated and deemed feasible with quantitative comparison with previous prediction models which can further predict any future malfunctions in the industrial machines. The productivity values are validated with models developed with the help of intelligent hybrid prediction techniques such as adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and response surface methodology (RSM). The input parameters considered are atmospheric conditions whereas the required output response is productivity of the machines.

One of the reasons for this situation is the fact that domain-specific abstractions, which are a major underpinning of digitalization in general, have so far received very little attention. This is particularly a major obstacle for the digitalization of the work area of corporate environmental compliance management (CECM), which is intended to ensure that the firm complies with environmental legislation. Using general system theory, the CECM area is analyzed, and a set of domain-specific abstractions is proposed. Further contributions of the article are focused on two crucial CECM decision tasks: the relevance assessment of environmental regulations and the determination of compliance enforcement measures. Based on the abstractions, decision schemes and tailored domain-specific templates of decision trees for these tasks are suggested and demonstrated through a running example. It is expected that through these novel building blocks, this research contributes to an advancement of the digitalization of CECM processes and of sustainability management in general. For example, the proposed building blocks may serve as a foundation for the development of compliance management information systems that offer smart assistance for CECM tasks. Digital assistance may mitigate deficiencies in CECM expertise and CECM experience, which are often imposed in practice by tight budget constraints.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101201,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Operations and Computers","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 188-202"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666412722000083/pdfft?md5=83fcadfc2b8e3f6e1663be958ac00acb&pid=1-s2.0-S2666412722000083-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72915594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reliance industries Limited (RIL) has been chosen to study system approach because it has been aligning its initiatives with regulations on ESG and such investments made by the companies attract socially conscious investors and create value within their portfolios. Systems approach has been adopted to highlight environmental and socially responsible initiatives undertaken by Reliance Industries, a large Indian multinational. Considering the ESG structure as a <em>processing</em> framework, we have tried to propose how an initiative (<em>input</em>) can be turned as an outcome (<em>output</em>) to benefit the society at large, through a case study. We propose system input and output methodology through efficient strategies to conquer good health, education, development, safety, energy, environment and climate protection. RIL has undertaken various ESG initiatives such as energy and water conservation, upliftment of community and initializing educational programs, adhering to various legal compliance and health and safety measures. On comparing RIL performance with top ten companies highlights that RIL has to go a long way in terms of environmental performance.
