Integrating shelf life constraints in capacitated lot sizing and scheduling for perishable products (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Chen, S., Berretta, R., Mendes, A., & Clark, A. (2018, December). Integrating shelf life constraints in capacitated lot sizing and scheduling for perishable products. Paper presented at 26th ASOR National Conference for the Australian Society of Operations Research, Melbourne, Australia

In this study, we consider a multi-item capacitated lot sizing and scheduling problem for perishable food products, which have a fixed shelf life period due to depreciation issues, such as physical deterioration or perceived value loss. We incorporat... Read More about Integrating shelf life constraints in capacitated lot sizing and scheduling for perishable products.

Applications of lot sizing (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Clark, A. (2018, August). Applications of lot sizing. Presented at 9th International Workshop on Lot Sizing, Itamambuca, Ubatuba SP, Brazil

Lot-sizing lies traditionally in the manufacturing sector, but it is applicable not just to related areas such as process industries and supply chains, but also to innovative areas such as humanitarian logistics. We look at some of the applications t... Read More about Applications of lot sizing.

The challenge of rescheduling nursing staff: Informing the development of a mathematical model decision tool (2014)
Report
Clark, A., Moule, P., Brodie, L., & Topping, A. (2014). The challenge of rescheduling nursing staff: Informing the development of a mathematical model decision tool

Executive Summary: This report presents the findings and recommendations from a preliminary investigation into how an NHS organisation manages sudden nursing staff shortfalls. Unexpected staff absences, which can occur on a daily basis, can impact on...
