Through an appropriate coalition for collaborative demand and capacity sharing, manufacturers can minimize their lost sales, as well as maximize production capacity utilization against lumpy real demand.
Indirectly, this objective minimizes setup times and thus tends to maximize the capacity utilization.
In addition, Ref. [14] proposed a voltage sag/swell compensation strategy with simultaneous active and reactive power injection by both converters of UPQC (UPQC-S), which can maximize the capacity utilization of series converter and compensate the load reactive power.
Furthermore, [Tavakkoli-Moghaddam et al. (2006b]) presented a linear integer model of capacitated vehicle routing problems with the independent route length to minimize the heterogeneous fleet cost and maximize the capacity utilization, and their proposed model is solved by a hybrid simulated annealing (SA) based on the nearest neighborhood.
Hans et al. describe optimization models for surgery planning: their approach tries to maximize the capacity utilization, minimize the risk of overtime, and minimize the number of canceled admissions [ 22, 31].
Hence, OSA maximizes the capacity utilization with variable frame size.
Maximizing capacity and ensuring fairness are contradictory requirements and usually maximizing capacity has been preferred [2].
In order to reduce planning time and maximize the physical vehicle capacity utilization, problem of the company is formulated as a mixed integer mathematical model, and a two-phase solution approach is proposed.
Capacity utilization, which measures how close to full output factories, mines and utilities are operating, fell to 81.6percentt from 82.1percentt.
Industrial production and capacity utilization expand.
Industrial production and capacity utilization for July.
