As connections between customers and suppliers become increasingly complex, the design of transport networks is under growing pressure to achieve efficiency. In response to this challenge, this paper proposes a service network design that takes into account both the forward flows from a production facility to a customer and the returning flows...

Steam generating heat pumps show great potential for reducing carbon emissions in the industrial sector. However, predicting their performance is challenging as the exergy destruction of e.g., compressors and expansion valves increases with the temperature lift and condenser temperature. With over seventy design improvements mentioned in the...

Aircraft maintenance is critical to an airline's operations to ensure the reliability, availability, and safety of their assets. Recently, the approach of using component prognostics in aircraft maintenance has received increasing attention in academic- and industrial research. Predictive maintenance has demonstrated promising results in using...

Designing low-cost network layouts is an essential step in planning linked infrastructure. For the case of capacitated trees, such as oil or gas pipeline networks, the cost is usually a function of both pipeline diameter (i.e. ability to carry flow or transferred capacity) and pipeline length. Even for the case of incompressible, steady flow,...

Optimizing supply chain management in hospitals can lead to a significant reduction in costs. One of the supply chain processes that can be optimized is the sterilization of reusable instruments used during surgical procedures. This process takes place at the Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) and consists of two main steps, `washing and...

Systems engineers are equipped to design complex networked systems such as infrastructures. A key goal is cost minimization over a vast solution space. However, finding a minimum-cost system while comprehensively satisfying different stakeholders is challenging and lacks proper methodological support. Stakeholders often employ their own...
