Whereas current research mainly focuses on reducing packing costs by optimizing the packing scheme, this study explores a novel approach by redesigning the bin sizes to fit the items ready to be packed. Specifically, this study considers a general three-dimensional open dimension problem (3D-ODP) where all dimensions, i.e. length, width and height, of a number of heterogeneous bin types are unknown and need to be decided. Based on the designed bin types, the corresponding packing scheme with minimal total costs is optimized, which is referred to as a three-dimensional multiple-bin-size bin packing problem (3D-MBSBPP). The combination of 3D-ODP and 3D-MBSBPP is redefined as a three-dimensional bin design and packing problem (3D-BDPP), for which a two-layer heuristic is developed. It consists of an outer heuristic framework (i.e. genetic algorithm or differential evolution algorithm) to design bin types, and an inner deterministic constructive heuristic (i.e. placement algorithm) to generate an effective solution for the 3D-MBSBPP. Extensive simulation tests on the classical benchmark and a case study derived from an e-commerce company are conducted to verify the algorithms and deduce managerial insights.Keywords: Open dimension problemthree-dimensionalbin-packing problembin designtwo-layer heuristic Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe experimental data in Section 5.1 and the data of items in Section 5.2 are available from Alvarez-Valdes, Parreño, and Tamarit (Citation2013) with the permission of the authors.

This article addresses a robot dispatching problem for RCSRS, aiming to reduce robot empty travelling time and workstation idle time. The robot dispatching problem is to assign tasks to robots when the task sequences in workstations are given. Additionally, the robots follow a fast dual-command transaction process in this problem. Hence, a mixed integer programming model catering for the dual-command transaction process is formulated to optimize system performance. Furthermore, an adaptive neighbourhood search with an ε-greedy algorithm is proposed to solve the problem. The experimental results substantiate the superiority of the authors' proposed algorithm compared to various algorithms used in practice and discussed in the relevant literature. Moreover, optimal system configurations for the instances generated are suggested.Keywords: Compact storage systemrobot dispatchingdual-commandadaptive neighbourhood search AcknowledgementsDongjun Cai thanks his industrial supervisor, Dr Ng Ging Meng, who provided supportive suggestions and the resources needed to carry out the work.

Despite progress in developing mathematical models, few studies comprehensively address project and supply-chain management aspects in an integrated framework. This article presents an integrated approach for multi-project resource investment, material ordering and production planning in a project-driven supply chain. A mixed-integer programming model is developed to optimize the total cost of renewable resource investment, production, transportation, and material ordering and holding, with an opportunity to share mobile renewable resources across multiple projects. A Lagrangian relaxation heuristic algorithm is proposed to determine the upper and lower bounds for the objective function, with an additional set of valid cuts to reduce the distance between bounds. The results of numerical experiments demonstrate the favourable performance of the proposed algorithm compared to the GAMS solver.

To solve these problems, an enhanced ant colony algorithm (EACA) with an obstacle avoidance strategy is proposed in this article. First, the path planning model is constructed, and strict movement rules are designed. Secondly, the EACA with global search, balancing the contradiction between metrics, is designed. The dynamic regulation of pheromone concentration and the mechanism of fluctuating pheromone distribution are explored, heuristic information is optimized and the path planning effect is enhanced. Finally, a new mechanism of away-from-obstacles is proposed as the obstacle avoidance strategy, which ensures a reasonable safe distance. Comparative simulations on several different maps validate the performance of EACA with the obstacle avoidance strategy for planning robot movement paths.KEYWORDS: Enhanced ant colony algorithmobstacle avoidance strategypath planningmulti-objectiveoptimal AcknowledgementsThe authors are deeply grateful to the anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions, which greatly enhanced the quality of this article.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementAll data generated or analysed during this study are included in this published article.","PeriodicalId":50521,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Optimization","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136381138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To tackle this intricate challenge, a novel hybrid algorithm (HDE-Jaya) has been developed, combining the differential evolution (DE) and Jaya methods. The Jaya model is integrated into DE as a mutation operator to boost exploration and exploitation. In addition, the crossover probability is generated randomly at each iteration to preserve diversity. This makes HDE-Jaya a parameter-free algorithm. The performance of HDE-Jaya was validated by optimizing six common mechanical engineering design problems and further evaluated on an automotive turbocharger design, aiming to reduce vibrations, minimize binding stress and improve dynamic stability.

This method integrates the Taguchi method, grey relational analysis and a hybrid multi-objective decision-making approach, and iteratively updates the orthogonal array to perform optimization for handling design variables with multiple levels.

Its optimization has become an urgent problem in the assembly process of compliant parts. Traditional fixture layout depends on workers’ experience, which leads to butt clearance along the assembly interface. Thus, this article proposes a butt clearance control-oriented fixture layout optimization (BCCFLO) methodology. First, a method for calculating the part dimensional variation under the influence of fixture layout and fixture locating error is developed. Then, a constrained multi-objective integer nonlinear programming (CMINP) model is innovatively formulated to optimize the fixture layout. Furthermore, the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II based on Latin hypercube sampling is designed to address the CMINP model. The case study illustrates and validates that the fixture layout achieved by the proposed method could significantly control the butt clearance for large compliant part assembly in the shipbuilding industry.KEYWORDS: Compliant part assemblyfixture layout optimizationbutt clearance controlfinite element equationlarge ship panels AcknowledgementsThis research is supported by the National Key Research and Development Program of China [2022YFF0605700], National Natural Science Foundation of China [51875359 and 72001139], Natural Science Foundation of Shanghai [20ZR1428600], CSSC-SJTU Marine Equipment Forward Looking Innovation Foundation [22B010432] and Oceanic Interdisciplinary Program of Shanghai Jiao Tong University [SL2021MS008].Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementThe authors confirm that the data supporting the findings of this study are available within the article.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Key Research and Development Program of China [grant number 2022YFF0605700]; National Natural Science Foundation of China [grant number 51875359]; Natural Science Foundation of Shanghai Municipality [grant number 20ZR1428600]; CSSC-SJTU Marine Equipment Forward Looking Innovation Foundation [grant number 22B010432]; Oceanic Interdisciplinary Program of Shanghai Jiao Tong University [grant number SL2021MS008].","PeriodicalId":50521,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Optimization","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134974929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
