In branch and bound algorithm for integer linear programming the usual approach is incorporating dual simplex method to achieve feasibility for each sub-problem. Although one can also employ the phase 1 simplex method but the simplicity and easy implementation of the dual simplex method bounds the users to use it. In this paper a new technique for handling sub-problems in branch and bound method has been presented, which is an efficient alternative of dual simplex method.

Penjadwalan merupakan pengalokasian sumber daya yang tersedia untuk menyelesaikan sejumlah pekerjaan dengan mempertimbangkan batasan yang ada. Hal yang cukup penting dalam perusahaan adalah menentukan penjadwalan yang optimal agar kegiatan produksi dapat berjalan dengan lancar, efisien, dan sistematis. PT Unitex merupakan perusahaan yang bergerak dalam bidang tekstil. Perusahaan ini menerapkan penjadwalan yang kurang efisien sehingga menyebabkan permasalahan seperti keterlambatan waktu dalam penyelesaian produksi akibat terlalu banyaknya permintaan konsumen yang tidak menentu. Perusahaan melakukan penjadwalan hanya diperkirakan saja dan tidak menggunakan metode ilmiah. Metode Branch and Bound dapat diterapkan pada permasalahan tersebut karena dapat menentukan penjadwalan yang tepat dengan waktu optimal. Metode Branch and Bound adalah metode pencarian dalam menentukan solusi optimal pada penjadwalan dengan menentukan nilai batas atas dan nilai  batas bawah untuk menghasilkan nilai makespan dari tiap job yang dikerjakan. Penjadwalan menggunakan Metode Branch and Bound menghasilkan urutan penjadwalan produksi dengan job 1-5-3-6-7-2-4 dengan makespan sebesar 17290.73 menit. Nilai ini lebih kecil dibandingkan hasil makespan perusahaan yaitu 19278.13 menit. Hal tersebut meminimumkan makespan sebesar 10.31%.

Since the sum of linear ratios problem (SLRP) has many applications in real life, for globally solving it, an efficient branch and bound algorithm is presented in this paper. By utilizing the characteristic of the problem (SLRP), we propose a convex separation technique and a two-part linearization technique, which can be used to generate a sequence of linear programming relaxation of the initial nonconvex programming problem. For improving the convergence speed of this algorithm, a deleting rule is presented. The convergence of this algorithm is established, and some experiments are reported to show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

One of the biggest problems with distribution systems correspond to the load unbalance created by power demand of customers. This becomes a difficult task to solve with conventional methods. Therefore, this paper uses integer linear programming and Branch and Bound algorithm to balance the loads in the three phases of the distribution system, employing stored data of power demand. Results show that the method helps to decrease the unbalance factor in more than 10%, by selecting the phase where a load should be connected. The solution may be used as a planning tool in distribution systems applied to installations with systems for measuring power consumption in different time intervals. Furthermore, in conjunction with communications and processing technologies, the solution could be useful to implement with a smart grid.
