• A pooling strategy for flexible repair shop designs 

      Turan, Hasan Huseyin; Pokharel, Shaligram; Sleptchenko, Andrei; ElMekkawy, Tarek Y; Al-Khatib, Maryam ( SciTePress , 2018 , Conference Paper)
      We discuss the design problem of a repair shop in a single echelon repairable multi-item spare parts supply system. The repair shop consists of several parallel multi-skilled servers, and storage facilities for the repaired ...
    • A sorting based efficient heuristic for pooled repair shop designs 

      Turan, Hasan Hüseyin; Sleptchenko, Andrei; Pokharel, Shaligram; ElMekkawy, Tarek Y ( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)
      In this paper, we address the assignment problem of skills to servers (e.g., repairmen) in a multi-server repair shop of a spare parts supply system. This type of assignment problems tends to be hard in general, due to the ...
    • An e-learning mobile system to generate illustrations for Arabic text 

      Karkar, AbdelGhani; Al Ja'am, Jihad Mohamad; Foufou, Sebti; Sleptchenko, Andrei ( IEEE Computer Society , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      Smart devices applications can assist children in improving their learning capabilities and comprehension skills. However most applications are built without taking into consideration the effective needs and background of ...
    • An Efficient Heuristic for Pooled Repair Shop Designs 

      Turan, Hasan Hüseyin; Pokharel, Shaligram; ElMekkawy, Tarek Y.; Sleptchenko, Andrei; Al-Khatib, Maryam ( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Conference Paper)
      An effective spare part supply system planning is essential to achieve a high capital asset availability. We investigate the design problem of a repair shop in a single echelon repairable multi-item spare parts supply ...
    • Integrated Optimization for Stock Levels and Cross-Training Schemes with Simulation-Based Genetic Algorithm 

      Turan, Hasan Huseyin; Pokharel, Shaligram; Sleptchenko, Andrei; Elmekkawy, Tarek Y. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)
      A spare part supply system for repairable spares in a repair shop is modeled as a set of heterogeneous parallel servers that have the ability to repair only certain types of repairables. The proposed model minimizes the ...
    • Optimal skill assignment with modular architecture in spare parts supply systems 

      Al-Khatib, Maryam; Turan, Hasan Hiiseyin; Sleptchenko, Andrei ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)
      We study a single location supply system for repairable spare parts. The system consists of a multi-server repairshop and inventory of ready-to-use spare parts. When a failed part is received, a new (or as-good-as-new) ...
    • Simulation based particle swarm optimization of cross-training policies in spare parts supply systems 

      Sleptchenko, Andrei; Elmekkawy, Tarek; Turan, Hasan Huseyin; Pokharel, Shaligram ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)
      We study a single location supply system for repairable spare parts. The system consists of a multi-server repair shop and inventory with ready-to-use spare parts. When a failed part is received, a new (or as-good-as-new) ...
