In this study, we present a mathematical formulation for the daily AMR problem which aims to minimize the risk of both scheduled and non-scheduled maintenance costs. Exact methods may fail to deal with such problems. Our contribution is then to examine the use of an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm by a uniform mutation operator for solving this probabilistic problem. Computational results show that our hybrid approach gives competitive results comparing to the native binary PSO. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.}, doi = {10.1109/GOL.2016.7731683}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85001976721\&doi=10.1109\%2fGOL.2016.7731683\&partnerID=40\&md5=9bef08dc37eff9c6ed7b1c2c6e2e41b6}, author = {Sarhani, M. and Ezzinbi, O. and Afia, A.E. and Benadada, Y.} } @conference {Ezzinbi201448, title = {A metaheuristic approach for solving the airline maintenance routing with aircraft on ground problem}, booktitle = {Proceedings of 2nd IEEE International Conference on Logistics Operations Management, GOL 2014}, year = {2014}, note = {cited By 1}, pages = {48-52}, abstract = {In the airline industry, the Aircraft Maintenance Routing (AMR) problem has been one of the great successes of operations research. The AMR problem is to determine a particular route for each aircraft to undergo different levels of maintenance checks. The objective is to minimize the total maintenance costs. In this study, our aim is to present a mathematical formulation for the AMR problem which takes into account the case of Aircraft On Ground (AOG). We develop solution approaches based on Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm and Genetic algorithm for solving the problem. The results show the effectiveness of this solution in reducing computational time. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.}, doi = {10.1109/GOL.2014.6887446}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84908628134\&doi=10.1109\%2fGOL.2014.6887446\&partnerID=40\&md5=0d3ce9e2a4abfc7cd5949d8a813591cc}, author = {Ezzinbi, O. and Sarhani, M. and El Afia, A. and Benadada, Y.} } @conference {Ezzinbi201452, title = {Particle swarm optimization algorithm for solving airline crew scheduling problem}, booktitle = {Proceedings of 2nd IEEE International Conference on Logistics Operations Management, GOL 2014}, year = {2014}, note = {cited By 1}, pages = {52-56}, abstract = {In air transport, the cost related to crew members presents one of the most important cost supported by airline companies. The objective of the crew scheduling problem is to determine a minimum-cost set of pairings so that every flight leg is assigned a qualified crew and every pairing satisfies the set of applicable work rules. In this paper, we propose a solution for the crew scheduling problem with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, this solution approach is compared with the Genetic Algorithm (GA) for both crew pairing and crew assignment problems which are the two part of crew scheduling problem. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.}, doi = {10.1109/GOL.2014.6887447}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84908628135\&doi=10.1109\%2fGOL.2014.6887447\&partnerID=40\&md5=61f25771c33cea8f4845104ba352a303}, author = {Ezzinbi, O. and Sarhani, M. and El Afia, A. and Benadada, Y.} }
