In der Flugzeugkabine müssen sich die Passagiere während des Einsteigens, des Flugs und des Aussteigens eine enge Umgebung mit anderen Passagieren teilen, was ein Risiko für die Übertragung von Viren darstellt und angemessene Strategien zur Risikominderung erfordert. Abstände zwischen den Passagieren während des Ein- und Aussteigens verringern das...
The timely handling of passengers is critical to efficient airport and airline operations. The pandemic requirements mandate adapted process designs and handling procedures to maintain and improve operational performance. Passenger activities in the confined aircraft cabin must be evaluated to potential virus transmission, and boarding procedures s...

Boarding and disembarking an aircraft is a time-critical airport ground handling process. Operations in the confined aircraft cabin must also reduce the potential risk of virus transmission to passengers under current COVID-19 boundary conditions. Passenger boarding will generally be regulated by establishing passenger sequences to reduce the influ...
Passenger disembarkation takes place in the confined space of the aircraft cabin. Boarding can be regulated to a certain extent, but this does not apply to disembarking at the end of a flight. COVID-19 constraints require that cabin procedures not only be operationally efficient but also effectively reduce the risk of virus transmission to passenge...
The corona pandemic significantly changes the processes of aircraft and passenger handling at the airport. In our contribution, we focus on the time-critical process of aircraft boarding, where regulations regarding physical distances between passengers will significantly increase boarding time. The passenger behavior is implemented in a field-vali...
We design an optimal group boarding method using a stochastic cellular automata model for passenger movements, which is extended by a virus transmission approach. Furthermore, a new mathematical model is developed to determine an appropriate seat layout for groups. The proposed seating layout is based on the idea that group members are allowed to h...
Nowadays, we are witnessing the growth of firms that distribute the production capacity of their products to a wide geographic range to supply the demand of several markets. In order to investigate such companies, the relationships and interactions between cell design and supply chain design are investigated in this article. For this purpose, a nov...
For increasing the efficiency of the supply chain (SC), it is necessary to take into account the interactions and relationships between the stages of procurement of raw materials, manufacturing the products, and distributing them. An integrated framework is proposed in this paper for companies interested in meeting the demand for different products...
Flexible manufacturing system (FMS) consists of some multi-functional machines that are linked together through a material-handling system and the whole of the system is controlled by a central computer. One of the most important problems in production planning of FMS is machine–tool selection and operation allocation problem that directly influenc...

The concern about significant changes in the manufacturing environment (such as operating/part costs and part demands) has spurred an interest in designing robust dynamic cellular manufacturing systems (RDCMS). Here, first a deterministic mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for cell formation is proposed. Cost parameters of model and dema...
This paper offers a new mathematical model for the design of cell formation in dynamic cellular manufacturing system (DCMS) based on production planning (PP) and worker assignment. Here, workers will assign on machines by their skills. In dynamic environment, the best-designed cells for one period may not be efficient for subsequent periods and rec...
The airline industry is under intense competition to simultaneously increase efficiency and satisfaction for passengers and profitability and internal system benefit for itself. The boarding process is one way to achieve these objectives as it tends itself to adaptive changes. In order to increase the flying time of a plane, commercial airlines try...
