• Spatial market policy modeling with goal targets AI翻译

  摘要：In this paper we show bow the theory of variational inequalities can be applied to the formulation, qualitative analysis, and computation of a new competitive spatial market model in the presence of goal targets. The model allows the decision maker to impose supply goals at production locations, demand goals at consumption locations, and transportation goals between supply and demand locations, along with associated penalties for failure to comply. This work may be viewed as a contribution to ...
• On the max-min 0-1 knapsack problem with robust optimization applications AI翻译
  作者：Yu, G
  摘要：Given a set of items, a set of scenarios, and a knapsack of fixed capacity, a nonnegative weight is associated with each item; and a value is associated with each item under each Scenario. The max-min Knapsack (MNK) problem is defined as filling the knapsack with a selected set of items so that the minimum total value gained under all scenarios is maximized. The MNK problem is a generalization of the conventional knapsack problem to situations with multiple scenarios. This extension significan...
• Some discrete processes in the theory of stochastic duels - Comment AI翻译
  作者：Liu, LW
  摘要：This paper corrects the error in the article ''Some Discrete Processes in the Theory of Stochastic Duels,'' by C. J. Ancker and Trevor Williams published in this Journal in March-April 1965, and proves again that the strategy of the second square duel for A is better than that of the first square duel, which forms one of the fundamentals of the optimum strategy of two-side contestants.

• Process planning for aluminum tubes: An engineering-operations perspective AI翻译
  作者：Balakrishnan, A; Brown, S
  摘要：Metal-forming operations such as extrusion, drawing, and rolling offer many opportunities for operations improvement through better process understanding and improved planning practices. This paper addresses medium-term planning issues in aluminum tube manufacturing operations. First, we identify certain distinctive characteristics-the inherent process flexibility, close interdependence between successive stages, and economies of scale-of metal-forming operations, and identify performance trad...
• A production line that balances itself AI翻译
  作者：Bartholdi, JJ; Eisenstein, DD
  作者单位：University of Chicago
  摘要：In ''bucket brigade'' manufacturing, such as recently introduced to the apparel industry, a production line has n workers moving among m stations, where each worker independently follows a simple rule that determines what to do next. Our analysis suggests and experiments confirm that if the workers are sequenced from slowest to fastest then, independently of the stations at which they begin, a stable partition of work will spontaneously emerge. Furthermore, the production rate will converge to...
• Managing hotel reservations with uncertain arrivals AI翻译
  作者：Bitran, GR; Gilbert, SM
  作者单位：University System of Ohio; Case Western Reserve University
  摘要：Based on our interactions with managers at two large hotels, we present a realistic model of the hotel reservation problem. Unlike traditional models, ours does not assume thar all customers arrive simultaneously on the targeted booking date. We explain why this assumption may not be appropriate for the hotel industry and develop a model of reservation booking which explicitly includes the room allocation decisions which are made on the targeted booking date. Based on observations of how the p...
• An analytical method for performance evaluation of kanban controlled production systems AI翻译
  作者：DiMascolo, M; Frein, Y; Dallery, Y
  作者单位：Sorbonne Universite
  摘要：The aim of this paper is to develop a general purpose analytical method for performance evaluation of multistage kanban controlled production systems. We consider a single-part type production system decomposed into stages in series. Each stage consists of a manufacturing cell and an output buffer. With each stage is associated a given number of kanbans. The kanban controlled production system is modeled as a queueing network with synchronization mechanisms. The basic principle of the proposed...
• Circuit partitioning via set partitioning and column generation AI翻译
  作者：EbenChaime, M; Tovey, CA; Ammons, JC
  作者单位：University System of Georgia; Georgia Institute of Technology
  摘要：In this paper, a new application of the methodology of set partitioning formulation augmented with heuristic column generation is presented. An efficient method for the partitioning of large-scale electronic circuits is developed based on this methodology. Circuit partitioning constitutes a major step of the physical design phase of electronic circuits, the fundamental components of electronic products. The major advantage of the scheme presented here is to provide a framework for an effective...
• An empirical investigation of the microstructure of knowledge acquisition and transfer through learning by doing AI翻译
  作者：Epple, D; Argote, L; Murphy, K
  作者单位：State University System of Florida; Florida International University
  摘要：Does knowledge acquired through learning by doing on one shift transfer to a second shift when it is introduced at a manufacturing plant? The answer to this question has important theoretical implications about where knowledge is embedded in organizations and about sources of productivity growth. The answer also has important practical implications for managers planning to introduce additional facilities. This paper analyzes the amount of transfer across shifts at a manufacturing facility.
