Item The traveling salesman problem: algorithms, sub-tours and applications in combinatorial optimization(Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, University of Ibadan, 2020) Oladokun, V. O.; Odedairo, B. O.; Atitebi, O. S.The importance of the traveling salesman problem (TSP) in combinatorial optimization and its application and adaptability to numerous real-life problems has led to the development of a wide range of algorithms. A major issue in the development of TSP algorithm involves how to handle the large number of subtour eliminating constraints which contribute to the exponential growth of computational time associated with TSP algorithms. In this chapter, basic concepts, development and many numerous research efforts of Professor O.E. Charles-Owaba on TSP were discussed; some of his works on the concept of the TSP set sequencing algorithm were highlighted.Item Options for the Nigeria electricity tariff review: cost or service reflective tariff?(Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, University of Ibadan, 2020) Akinlabi, K. A.; Oladokun, V. O.; Alexander, A. O.The improvement in the Nigerian electricity value chain has not been visible after seven years of partial privatization of the sector as the government continues to subsidize tariffs to avert the total collapse of the sector. The electricity distribution companies tagged the weak link in the value chain, have been challenged with inherited dilapidated infrastructure and poor revenue generation. The Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry is currently considering service reflective tariff options after her inability to implement a cost-reflective tariff in the sector since privatization in 2013. The electricity value chain is presently challenged with poor cash flow due to customer payment apathy, perceived corruption in the system, unavailability of a cost-reflective tariff which resulted in poor remittance to the value chain by the distribution companies. This paper reviews the power sector evolution and the reforms in the sector, the performance of Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission regulations, the concepts of the cost, and service reflective tariff. The paper recommends a cost-reflective tariff option with strict regulatory performance monitoring of all the value chain participants in the sector.Item Advancing industrial engineering in Nigeria through teaching, research and innovation(Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, University of Ibadan, 2020) Oluleye, A. E.; Oladokun, V. O.; Akanbi, O. G.
