摘要：This paper considers single-item inventory systems with immediate delivery and no economies of scale. Bounds are provided on the value loss relative to optimal cost for restricting attention to the class of inventory stocking policies that behave myopically up to a specified stopping time. The stopping time may be random, and may depend on demand histories as well as information exogenous to the firm. The bounds are robust to the nature of the demand process faced after the stopping time, so a...

摘要：Management science and decision science have grown exponentially since midcentury. Two closely-related fields central to this growth are multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) and multiattribute utility theory (MAUT). This paper comments on the history of MCDM and MAUT and discusses topics we believe are important in their continued development and usefulness to management science over the next decade. Our aim is to identify exciting directions and promising areas for future research.

摘要：This paper presents an examination of certain issues in Frequency Domain Experimentation (FDE) for discrete event simulation. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate that (i) conclusions drawn from FDE are dependent on the oscillation frequency and unless frequencies are chosen carefully, misleading results can be obtained; (ii) interpretation of results from frequency domain experiments are fundamentally different from the interpretation of results from regression analysis-specifica...
