• A clustering-based repair shop design for repairable spare part supply systems 

      Turan H.H.; Sleptchenko A.; Pokharel S.; ElMekkawy T.Y. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)
      In this study, we address the design problem of a single repair shop in a repairable multi-item spare part supply system. We propose a sequential solution heuristic to solve the joint problem of resource pooling, inventory ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
