Adaptive inventory control models for supply chain management
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-10)
Uncertainties inherent in customer demands make it difficult for supply chains to achieve just-in-time inventory replenishment, resulting in loosing sales opportunities or keeping excessive chain-wide inventories. In this ...
Multi-stage production with variable lot sizes and transportation of partial lots
(Elsevier, 1984-08)
This paper describes a model for a multi-stage production/inventory system where lots may be of different sizes. In addition, either completed lots or partial lots, called batches, may be transported to succeeding stages. ...
Institutional conformity and technology implementation: A process model of ergonomics dissemination
(Elsevier, 1992-06)
This paper examines the process of implementation of work-place ergonomics within thirteen plants of the largest division of an automobile manufacturing firm. The process began as plants reacted with varying degrees of ...
Rate distortion lower bound for a special class of nonlinear estimation problems
(Elsevier, 1989-04)
A rate distortion lower bound of minimum mean square error is presented for a special class of discrete time nonlinear filtering problems which have measurements that can be expressed as a memoryless nonlinear function of ...
The optimality of balancing workloads in certain types of flexible manufacturing systems
(Elsevier, 1985-04)
Symmetric mathematical programming is used to analyze the optimality of balancing workloads to maximize the expected production in a single-server closed queuing network model of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). In ...
Thermal error modelling for real-time error compensation
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1996-07)
A modelling strategy for the prediction of both the scalar and the position-dependent thermal error components is presented. Two types of empirical modelling method based on the multiple regression analysis (MRA) and the ...
Dynamics of Local Search Trajectory in Traveling Salesman Problem
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-12)
This paper investigates dynamics of a local search trajectory generated by running the Or-opt heuristic on the traveling salesman problem. This study evaluates the dynamics of the local search heuristic by estimating the ...
Extreme point characterizations for infinite network flow problems
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-12)
We study capacitated network flow problems with demands defined on a countably infinite collection of nodes having finite degree. This class of network flow models includes, for example, all infinite horizon deterministic ...
