摘要：Motivated by the recent adoption of tactical pricing strategies in manufacturing settings, this paper studies a problem of dynamic pricing for a multiproduct make-to-order system. Specifically, for a multiclass M-n/M/1 queue with controllable arrival rates, general demand curves, and linear holding costs, we study the problem of maximizing the expected revenues minus holding costs by selecting a pair of dynamic pricing and sequencing policies. Using a deterministic and continuous (fluid model)...

摘要：High-volume, multistage continuous production flow through a re-entrant factory is modeled through a conservation law for a continuous-density variable on a continuous-production line augmented by a state equation for the speed of the production along the production line. The resulting nonlinear, nonlocal hyperbolic conservation law allows fast and accurate simulations. Little's law is built into the model. It is argued that the state equation for a re-entrant factory should be nonlinear. Comp...

摘要：This research concerns a new family of capacitated multi-item lot-sizing problems, namely, lot-sizing problems with time windows. Two classes of the problem are analyzed and solved using different Lagrangian heuristics. Capacity constraints and a subset of time window constraints are relaxed resulting in particular single-item time window problems that are solved in polynomial time. Other relaxations leading to the classical Wagner-Whitin problem are also tested. Several smoothing heuristics a...

摘要：The spiral-down effect occurs when incorrect assumptions about customer behavior cause high-fare ticket sales, protection levels, and revenues to systematically decrease over time. If an airline decides how many seats to protect for sale at a high fare based on past high-fare sales, while neglecting to account for the fact that availability of low-fare tickets will reduce high-fare sales, then high-fare sales will decrease, resulting in lower future estimates of high-fare demand. This subseque...

摘要：This paper considers a generic one-warehouse multiple-retailer inventory system under continuous review, where customers provide perfect advance-order information. More specifically, each customer order entails a due date specifying when the customer wants the item delivered. The information is perfect in the sense that a placed order cannot be revised. With the intent of using the advance-order information fully throughout the supply chain, each installation replenishes its stock using order ...

摘要：The introduction of digital terrestrial broadcasting all over Europe requires a complete and challenging replanning of in-place analog systems. However, an abrupt migration of resources (transmitters and frequencies) from analog to digital networks cannot be accomplished because the analog services must be preserved temporarily. Hence, a multiobjective problem arises, in which several networks sharing a common set of resources have to be designed. This problem is referred to as the network Pac...

摘要：We consider interruptible electricity contracts issued by an electricity retailer that allow for interruptions to electric service in exchange for either an overall reduction in the price of electricity delivered or for financial compensation at the time of interruption. We provide a structural model to determine electricity prices based on stochastic models of supply and demand. We use stochastic dynamic programming to value interruptible contracts from the point of view of an electricity ret...

摘要：This paper discusses decomposition of a multiregional economic equilibrium model that is characterized by a cost minimizing, linear programming (LP) model of the supply side and a vector-valued function that gives demand prices as functions of the quantities demanded. Our motivation is to ease model development and maintenance by a solution method that links separately developed regional models only when a consistent multiregion solution is desired. A heuristic strategy is described to extend ...

摘要：Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical approach to measuring the relative efficiency of peer decision-making units (DMUs). It is particularly useful when no a priori information is available on the trade-offs or relationships among various performance measures. A shortcoming of the DEA model, however, is its inability to provide a measure of absolute performance for the DMUs under investigation. Traditionally, in the service sector, this has not been an issue that one could address,...

摘要：We present a two-state, one-control model of a seller's decision about how good a deal to give customers when price and quantity are observable, but the customer does not observe quality until after committing to the transaction, so the quality of the bargain affects future demand only indirectly by influencing the reputation of the seller. This situation describes well the markets for many illicit drugs. Analysis reveals two optimal strategies: converging to a unique steady state with a posit...
