• Dual sourcing: Creating and utilizing flexible capacities with a second supply source AI翻译

  摘要：We study a finite horizon, single product, periodic review inventory system with two supply sources and a salvage option. These supply sources are typically capacitated and capacity levels often need to be reserved or installed in advance of the operational planning horizon. The supply sources may thus be differentiated by their lead times, capacities, and fixed and variable order costs. Salvage options allow for inventory reductions and incur fixed cost and variable revenues. We first analyze...
• Inventory timing: How to serve a stochastic season AI翻译
  作者：Schlapp, Jochen; Fleischmann, Moritz; Sonntag, Danja

  摘要：Firms that sell products over a limited selling season often have only imperfect information about (a) the exact timing of that season, (b) the demand volume to expect, and (c) the temporal distribution of demand over the selling season. Given these uncertainties, firms must determine not only how much inventory to stock but also when to make that inventory available to customers. We thus ask: What is a firm's optimal inventory quantity and timing for products sold during a stochastic selling ...
• Capacity management for a leasing system with different equipment and batch demands AI翻译

  摘要：This work explores the admission and capacity allocation for a leasing system with two types of equipment and three kinds of batch demands: elementary specified, premium specified, and unspecified demands. The demands arrive following mutually independent Poisson processes, and the rental duration of equipment follows a negative exponential distribution. The lessor can satisfy partially the specified demands with the required type of equipment and satisfy partially the unspecified demands with...
• Locating facilities under competition and market expansion: Formulation, optimization, and implications AI翻译
  作者：Lin, Yun Hui; Tian, Qingyun; Zhao, Yanlu

  摘要：As the ongoing battle between brick-and-mortar stores and e-commerce shops escalates, managers of the former are becoming more cautious regarding their strategic store site selection and decoration decisions, particularly if foreseeable competition from rival companies exists. This paper investigates a bilevel competitive facility location (BCFL) problem, where two companies, a leader and a follower, plan to enter a market sequentially. Each company has a budget to open and design facilities. ...
• On the large-scale production of a new vaccine AI翻译
  作者：Angelus, Alexandar; Ozer, Ozalp

  摘要：Large-scale production of a new vaccine, such as the COVID-19 vaccine, is characterized by evolving demand and production yield uncertainties. Further, following its FDA approval for efficacy and safety, a vaccine may not even be manufacturable due to its low production yield and the resulting lack of profitability. To deal with those challenges in practice, a vaccine manufacturer can (stochastically) increase the uncertain yield of a vaccine prior to launching large-scale production by learni...
• Fulfillment scheduling for buy-online-pickup-in-store orders AI翻译
  作者：Wu, Xueqi; Chen, Zhi-Long

  摘要：One of the most popular ways of shopping in an omnichannel retailing environment is buy-online-pickup-in-store (BOPS). Retailers often promise BOPS shoppers short in-store pickup ready times. We study fulfillment scheduling decisions of BOPS orders destined for a single store of a retailer. There are two fulfillment options for BOPS orders: they can be either processed at a fulfillment center (FC) and delivered to the store or processed at the store without needing delivery. There are two type...
• Multidisciplinary R&D project success in small firms: The role of multiproject status and project management experience AI翻译

  摘要：R&D projects in small biotechnology firms frequently involve knowledge from multiple technical fields and research in different problem domains. An increase in project knowledge scope, defined as the number of technical fields an R&D project covers, can be challenging for resource-constrained small firms. These firms often rely primarily on their principal investigators (PIs), who act as heavyweight project managers in guiding project ideas to successful R&D outcomes. PIs also work concurrentl...
• Forecasting venue popularity on location-based services using interpretable machine learning AI翻译

  摘要：Customers are increasingly utilizing location-based services via mobile devices to engage with retail establishments. The focus of this paper is to identify factors that help to drive venue popularity revealed by location-based services, which then better facilitate companies' operational decisions, such as procurement and staff scheduling. Using data collected from Foursquare and Yelp, we build, evaluate, and compare a wide variety of machine learning methods including deep learning models wi...
• A model for wind farm management with option interactions AI翻译
  作者：Bensoussan, Alain; Chevalier-Roignant, Benoit; Rivera, Alejandro

  摘要：A renewable energy site can expand its power generation capacity by an endogenous amount but may also want to shut down to save on fixed operating costs and interest payments if the market prospects deteriorate. We model such circumstances and derive managerial implications that help us explain real-world conundrums, illustrating the intricate interactions between the operational decision to build up capacity and the financial decision to exit an industry. Shutting down may be delayed in the h...
• Vessel sharing and its impact on maritime operations and carbon emissions AI翻译

  摘要：The shipping industry touches approximately 90% of all international trade, producing roughly one billion tons of greenhouse gases each year. Changes in the operations and coordination of global-shipping vessels can have a substantial impact on vessel's carbon emissions, but these efforts need to fulfill the service expectation of individual firms receiving consignments. We examine the associated gains (or losses) in operational efficiencies and environmental benefits (if there are any) from v...
