VII Awards and Other Scientific Results

* Best Paper Award, FAIM 2002 Conference, Dresden
Vandaele N. and De Boeck L., ‘Advanced Resources Planning’.
* Best Paper Award, FAIM 2001 Conference, Dublin
Dupon A., Vannieuwenhuyse I and Vandaele N.,’The Impact of Sequence Changes on Lead Time’.
* A patented software package (called ACLIPS, co-developped with M. Lambrecht) for job shop planning and scheduling. It integrates material and capacity decisions at all levels of the job shop scheduling process: from lot sizing and lead time estimation (aggregate planning) up to detailed scheduling and follow-up. This approach is commercialized.
