The Simultaneous Planning of Production, Capacity, and Inventory in Seasonal Demand Environments

Manufacturing managers often address capacity and inventory decisions separately, thus ignoring the interaction between capacity and inventory within a manufacturing system. The separation of these two decisions can lead to an imbalance of capacity and ...

article
Warranty Economic Decision Models: a Summary and Some Suggested Directions for Future Research

Product guarantees or warranties have been around for generations, but formal approaches for establishing and examining warranties have been considered only during the past 20 years. A review of the literature on warranty models and analysis methods is ...

article
Scheduling in Robotic Cells: Heuristics and Cell Design

This paper considers scheduling problems arising in robot-served manufacturing cells in which the machines are configured in a flowshop that repetitively produces a family of similar parts. We study the problem of determining the robot move cycle and ...

article
Stochastic Programming-Based Bounding of Expected Production Costs for Multiarea Electric Power System

A bounding-based method is developed for estimating the expected operation cost of a multiarea electric power system in which transmission capacity limits interarea flows. Costs include the expense of power generation and losses suffered by consumers ...

Rendezvous Search on the Line with Limited Resources: Maximizing the Probability of Meeting

Two players are placed on a line at a distance d which is drawn from a known distribution F. The players have no common notion of direction on the line, and each has a resources bound on the total distance he can travel. If F is bounded and the ...

article
Parallel Machine Scheduling by Column Generation

Parallel machine scheduling problems concern the scheduling of n jobs on m machines to minimize some function of the job completion times. If preemption is not allowed, then most problems are not only NP-hard, but also very hard from a practical point ...

article
A Set Partitioning Approach to the Crew Scheduling Problem

The crew scheduling problem (CSP) appears in many mass transport systems (e.g., airline, bus, and railway industry) and consists of scheduling a number of crews to operate a set of transport tasks satisfying a variety of constraints. This problem is ...

article
Price-Directed Control of Remnant Inventory Systems

Motivated by make-to-order cable manufacturing, we describe a remnant inventory system in which orders arrive for units of raw material that are produced-to-stock. As orders are satisfied, the partially consumed units of material, or remnants, are ...

article
Optimal Reliability Allocation with Discrete Cost-Reliability Data for Components

This paper addresses the optimal allocation of reliability among components that are to be assembled into a system. While it is a generally accepted notion that a component's cost is an increasing function of its reliability, most research to date ...

article
Derandomizing Variance Estimators

One may consider a discrete-event simulation as a Markov chain evolving on a suitably rich state space. One way that regenerative cycles may be constructed for general state-space Markov chains is to generate auxiliary coin-flip random variables at each ...

article
The Nonpreemptive Priority Map/G/1 Queue

This paper considers the nonpreemptive priority queue with MAP (Markovian Arrival Process) arrivals. Since MAP is weakly dense in the class of stationary point processes, it is a fairly general arrival process. Service times of customers of each ...

article
Decentralized Adaptive Flow Control of High-Speed Connectionless Data Networks

We introduce a permit-based adaptive control scheme for regulating traffic admission in high-speed connectionless data networks, such as the internet. Permits are awarded to potential customers arriving from outside and travel with them towards their ...

article
Restricted-Recourse Bounds for Stochastic Linear Programming

We consider the problem of bounding the expected value of a linear program (LP) containing random coefficients, with applications to solving two-stage stochastic programs. An upper bound for minimizations is derived from a restriction of an equivalent, ...

article
Too Much of a Good Thing?

This paper explores a seemingly paradoxical phenomenon associated with the use of expected-utility theory in capital-budgeting and risk-sharing decisions under uncertainity. As an investment prospect becomes better and better, decision makers using ...

article
Analysis of a Sampling Control Scheme for a Perishable Inventory System

We consider an inventory system in which both the arrival of items and the demand for those items are Poisson processes. The stored items have two phases of shelf-life. If the item has not been taken by a demand during the first phase it is inspected. ...

article
Rendezvous Search on the Line

We present two new results for the asymmetric rendezvous problem on the line. We first show that it is never optimal for one player to be stationary during the entire search period in the two-player rendezvous. Then we consider the meeting time of n-...
