An Ant Colony Optimisation Algorithm for Balancing Two-Sided U-Type Assembly Lines With Sequence-Dependent Set-Up Times
(Springer India, 2018) Delice, Yilmaz; Aydogan, Emel Kizilkaya; Soylemez, Ismet; Ozcan, Ugur; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 07. Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü; 07.03. Endüstri Mühendisliği Anabilim Dalı
Some practical arrangements in assembly lines necessitate set-up times between consecutive tasks. To create more realistic models of operations, set-up times must be considered. In this study, a sequence-dependent set-up times approach for two-sided u-type assembly line (TUAL) structures is proposed for the first time. Previous studies on TUAL have not included set-up times in their analyses. Furthermore, an algorithm based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm, which is using a heuristic priority rule based procedure has been proposed in order to solve this new approach. In this paper, we look at the sequence-dependent set-up times between consecutive tasks and consecutive cycles, called the "forward set-up time'' and the "backward set-up time'', respectively. Additionally, we examine the "crossover set-up time'', which arises from a new sequence of tasks in a crossover station. In order to model more realistic assembly line configurations, it is necessary to include sequence-dependent set-up times when computing all of the operational times such as task starting times and finishing times as well as the total workstation time. In this study, the proposed approach aims to minimize the number of mated-stations as the primary objective and to minimize the number of total workstations as a secondary objective. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, a computational study is performed. As can be seen from the experimental results the proposed approach finds promising results for all literature-test problems.

Association Rules on Traffic Accident: Case of Ankara
(Ege Univ, Fac Economics & Admin Sciences, 2016) Soylemez, Ismet; Dogan, Ahmet; Ozcan, Ugur; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 07. Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü; 07.03. Endüstri Mühendisliği Anabilim Dalı
In this study, association rules analysis of the data mining techniques are used for data of traffic accidents in 2010 and some rules are obtained. With this rules, what is the possibility of accident which resulted anybody injured for "different weather conditions (snowy, rainy etc.)", "where the accidents occurred (street, road etc.)" and "way situations (separated road or not)". Different algorithms are used to analyze the association rules. Apriori algorithm is selected for this study and SPSS Clementine 12.0 is used for this algorithm. Firstly, frequency of items are found. Then, items are grouped. In this study, data preprocessing is done and missing values are filled or rejected. In the second phase, outliers are rejected and data type is converted type of 1-0 (binary). In the third phase, Apriori algorithm is applied and results are evaluated.
Sustainable Economic Development Indicators: The Case of Turkey
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2016) Soylemez, Ismet; Dogan, Ahmet; Ozcan, Ugur; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 07. Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü; 07.03. Endüstri Mühendisliği Anabilim Dalı
Sustainable development indicators are a good road map for financial, social and economic targets of countries. This paper aims to show which indicators are affect sustainable development of Turkey for last twelve years. 132 sustainable development indicators determined by European Union Statistical Office (Eurostat). Sustainable development indicators are calculated by related unit, institution or establishment in the direction of definitions determined by Eurostat. These indicators are calculated by TUIK (Turkish Statistical Institute) for Turkey. Some indicators as follows: socio-economic development, sustainable consumption and production, climate change and energy, sustainable transport, financing for sustainable development. However, only economic indicators are presented and analyzed in the case study. Official development assistance has tenfold rise in the last 12 years. These indicators will show which areas at economic changes should be considered to the sustainable development of country.
