  摘要：Misplaced inventory is a major operational problem in many supply chains. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has been publicized as a promising solution for the misplaced inventory. Adoption of this technology has a fixed cost and variable cost of implementation, which can cause incentive issues in the supply chain. In this paper, we consider a supply chain under misplacement of inventory subject to uncertain demand. We study both centralized and decentralized cases and identify ...

  摘要：We consider the scheduling of truck arrivals at an air cargo terminal. By coordinating arrivals of cargo delivery trucks with outbound flight departure schedules, some of the shipments can be transferred directly to the departing flights, while others will be stored at the terminal's storage facility and incur extra handling and storage costs. The objective is to obtain a feasible schedule so as to minimize the total cost of operations. We formulate the problem as a time-indexed integer progra...
• Optimal Dynamic Pricing of Perishable Items by a Monopolist Facing Strategic Consumers AI翻译

  摘要：We introduce a dynamic pricing model for a monopolistic company selling a perishable product to a finite population of strategic consumers (customers who are aware that pricing is dynamic and may time their purchases strategically). This problem is modeled as a stochastic dynamic game in which the company's objective is to maximize total expected revenues, and each customer maximizes the expected present value of utility. We prove the existence of a unique subgame-perfect equilibrium pricing p...
• A Flexible Evaluative Framework for Order Picking Systems AI翻译

  摘要：This paper develops a novel framework to evaluate the integral performance of order picking systems with different combinations of storage and order picking policies. The warehousing literature on order picking mostly considers minimizing either elapsed time or distance as the sole objective, whereas warehouse managers in a supply chain have to look beyond single-dimensional performance and consider trade-offs among different criteria. Thus managers still need a unified and efficient framework...
• Analysis of Revenue Maximization Under Two Movie-Screening Policies AI翻译

  摘要：A few weeks before the start of a major season, movie distributors arrange a private screening of the movies to be released during that season for exhibitors and, subsequently, solicit bids for these movies (from exhibitors). Since the number of such solicitations far exceeds the number of movies that can be feasibly screened at a multiplex (i.e., a theater with multiple screens), the problem of interest for an exhibitor is that of choosing a subset of movies for which to submit bids to the di...
• Optimal Acquisition Quantities in Remanufacturing with Condition Uncertainty AI翻译

  摘要：The condition of the used products acquired by remanufacturing firms often varies widely. A firm can manage this variation by acquiring a quantity of used items that exceeds demand, enabling it to remanufacture a subset of the acquired items in the best condition. As more excess items are acquired, the firm can increase its selectivity and lower its remanufacturing costs. In this paper, we examine the tradeoff of acquisition and scrapping costs vs. remanufacturing costs when used product condi...
• Network Game and Capacity Investment Under Market Uncertainty AI翻译

  摘要：This paper investigates the impacts of competition and market uncertainty on airlines' network structures and capacity investment. The airlines choose their network structures and construct capacities while demands are unknown. After uncertainty is resolved, they determine the total number of seats to offer in each leg constrained by their capacities built earlier. We conclude that market uncertainty is the driving force of hub-and-spoke networks, whereas the market mean is the driving force o...
• Optimal Pricing and Production Planning for Subscription-Based Products AI翻译
  作者：Huh, Woonghee Tim; Kachani, Soulaymane; Sadighian, Ali
  作者单位：Columbia University
  摘要：In this paper, we address the problem of a magazine publishing firm facing stochastic demand over multiple periods. We model the dynamics of customer subscription and retention/attrition. We identify the key decision variables to enhance magazine profitability: production quantity, subscription price, and newsstand price. First, we provide a dynamic programming formulation of the firm's problem and then propose a single-stage reduction that admits a classical newsvendor characterization. For b...
