Abstract
This project addresses a wide range of discrete optimization and operations research problems, and aims to contribute with innovative approaches and solutions to production and supply chain management problems. The problems focused in this thematic project are divided into: (A) cutting problems, (B) packing problems, (C) lot-sizing problems, (D) scheduling problems, (E) routing problems (F) location problems and (G) the integration of these problems. In addition to the study and development of mathematical models related to these problems, solution methods and algorithms to solve them will be developed, and their computational performances will be analyzed. The project also aims to continue the integration and collaboration of research groups from different institutions interested in these issues, as well as human resource training for research and technological developments. It is intended to intensify cooperation between the productive sector and academia, with the development of case studies in companies. It is expected, therefore, to enable collaborations and partnerships in the study of these problems and in the development of computational tools to be used in practice. The team of this project is composed of several researchers at various stages of their academic careers, from graduate students and recent doctors, to experienced researchers. This project is a continuation of three other FAPESP Thematic Projects, the first being developed between 2006 and 2010, the second between 2010 and 2015 and, the third between 2017 and 2023. In the first two projects, problems were studied mainly in (A), (B), (C), (D), as well as some integration of these problems (G). In the third project, problems (E) and (F) were added and the study of the integrations between the problems was intensified. (AU)
