  • The development of a computer driver jigsaw 
    Lubbe, Andre J.; Raath, H. (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2003)
    With a jigsaw, sharp inside corners can only be sawn out if the blade of the jigsaw is lifted out of the material and the corner is approached from two different sides. For the blade to be able to re-enter the material no ...
  • Production mix problems : formulation and solution strategies 
    Warren, Graeme (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2001)
    This paper examines the sub-optimality of generalized greedy heuristics for solution of a certain well-known production mix problem formulation. The drawbacks of not modelling routing in the mix problem formulation are ...
