Teaching Operational Research using Games and Simulation: a case study

The use of gamification in teaching is not a novelty. It has been recognized as an effective method for fostering academic and practical skills, while simultaneously enhancing student engagement and motivation. In this work, we report on the use of web-based apps in classroom for introducing concepts and methods of Operational Research (OR) to students of Logistics and Business. Specifically, the Burrito Optimi...

The Dynamics between Structural Conditions and Entrepreneurship in Europe: Feat...

Structural conditions and population characteristics of countries have been identified in the literature as factors for an individual to become, or to have intentions of becoming, an entrepreneur. However, this is still a subject under research, which has become increasingly relevant and could be crucial in the current challenges of European countries. In this work, the factors for entrepreneurial intentions an...

A Human-like Upper-limb Motion Planner: Generating naturalistic movements for h...

As robots are starting to become part of our daily lives, they must be able to cooperate in a natural and efficient manner with humans to be socially accepted. Human-like morphology and motion are often considered key features for intuitive human–robot interactions because they allow human peers to easily predict the final intention of a robotic movement. Here, we present a novel motion planning algorithm, the ...

A mixed integer nonlinear multiperiod model for supply chain management of a co...

The fluctuations in the business environment and seasonal variations characteristic of food supply chains contribute greatly to the increasing complexity of the entire Supply Chain planning. In the present paper, quantitative models are applied to support the decision-making purchasing management department of a retail company. Specifically, a multiperiod mathematical model was developed with the aim of optimizi...

Guidelines for Creating Video Podcasts in Mathematics Higher Education.

b-Mat@plicada is a b-learning Mathematics course for Higher Education students, mainly composed of educational videos available in the institutional Moodle platform. These contents were created by following a set of guidelines, where three components are considered: the quality of students’ learning, the teacher’s time and computer skills, as well as the equipment made available by the institution. With the aim...

Inventory models with reverse logistics for assets acquisition in a liquefied p...

This paper addresses a case study regarding inventory models for acquiring liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders. This is an industrial challenge that was proposed at an European Study Group with Industry, by a Portuguese energy company, for which the LPG cylinder is the main asset of its LPG business. Due to the importance of this asset, an acquisition plan must be defined in order to determine the amount of...

A Mathematical Model for Supermarket Order Picking

Order picking consists in retrieving products from storage locations to sat- isfy independent orders from multiple customers. It is generally recognized as one of the most significant activities in a warehouse (Koster et al, 2007). In fact, order picking accounts up to 50% (Frazelle, 2001) or even 80% (Van den Berg, 1999) of the total warehouse operating costs. The critical issue in today’s business environ- me...

Identification of energy supply units

In the daily electricity market a price of the electricity for each hour is settled. This price results from the matching of offers to buy and sell from different market agents through their supply units. Agents specify supply blocks, i.e., pairs consisting of a quantity and a price. These supply blocks are represented as supply curves depicting certain patterns. The challenge proposed by EDP is the following: ...
