• Cross-training policies for repair shops with spare part inventories 

      Sleptchenko A.; Turan H.H.; Pokharel S.; ElMekkawy T.Y. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)
      We study a spare part supply system for repairable spare parts where parallel repair servers may have multiple skills (can repair different failed parts). Demands for the spares occur according to Poisson processes with ...
    • 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 ...
