RESTORING THE PRINCIPLE OF MINIMUM DIFFERENTIATION IN PRODUCT POSITIONING
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1992-09)
Decentralized dynamic processes for finding equilibrium
(Elsevier, 1992-04)
This paper describes a class of decentralized dynamic processes designed to converge to equilibrium when the equilibrium equations are linear. These processes can also be viewed as distributed algorithms for solving systems ...
Profit-based FMS dynamic part type selection over time for mid-term production planning
(Elsevier, 1992-11-25)
The dynamic part type selection problem for mid-term scheduling to maximize profit over time in a general flexible manufacturing system is considered. Some mathematical programming models are developed to address this ...
A multi-dynamic-factor model for stock returns
(Elsevier, 1992)
In this paper, we define dynamic and static factors and distinguish between the dynamic and static structure of asset excess returns. We examine the value-weighted market portfolio as a dynamic factor and propose an ...
Incumbents' use of pre-entry alliances before expansion into new technical subfields of an industry
(Elsevier, 1992-08)
Industry incumbents frequently delay entry into emerging technical subfields, fearing product cannibalization and uncertain investment, and enter only after technical and market uncertainties have subsided. We predict that ...
Interfacial adhesion and toughening mechanisms in an alloy of polycarbonate/polyethylene
(Elsevier, 1992)
Interfacial adhesion and toughening mechanisms in an alloy of polycarbonate/polyethylene (PC/PE) are investigated using transmission electron microscopy. In contrast to the general speculation, it is found that the PE ...
Planning and scheduling approaches to operate a particular FMS
(Elsevier, 1992-09-25)
This paper contains a detailed description of a thirteen machine COMAU FMS for a company in Torino, Italy. The monthly and daily problems that need to be addressed and the approaches that are suggested to operate this ...
An iterative approach to system setup problems in flexible manufacturing systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-01)
System setup problems in flexible manufacturing systems deal with short-term planning problems such as part type selection, machine grouping, operation assignment, tooling, fixture and pallet allocation, and routing. In ...
