摘要：We study an optimal matching problem in the context of dual-donor organ exchange, where a portion of two living donors' organs are transplanted to a single patient. This dual-donor transplant technique is becoming more widespread for lung and liver transplants. However, multiple medical compatibility criteria pose a serious challenge for matching a patient with two compatible donors. In the United States and many other countries, laws prohibit commercial (for-profit) deals for human organs, so...

摘要：Industry trends such as product customization, radical innovation, and local production accelerate the adoption of mixed-model assembly lines (MMALs) that can cope with a widening gap between model processing times and true build to order capabilitiy. The existing high work content deviations on such assembly lines stress production planning, especially the assembly line sequencing. Most manufacturers set the launching rate for all assembly line products to a fixed launching rate resulting in ...

摘要：The extant research on supply chain information sharing under wholesale pricing often assumes a model where the manufacturer can unilaterally set any wholesale price, and the retailer decides retail quantity or price while taking the wholesale price as given. Whereas this model may actually reflect the relative market power in some situations, its implementation misses out on certain win-win opportunities that could arise from information sharing. We propose a new wholesale pricing mechanism t...

摘要：Firms who buy from suppliers often engage in supplier development to reduce the supplier's production cost. Being aware that their efforts may benefit a rival firm when there is a shared supplier, some buyers only invest in specific supplier development, that is, in those processes or technologies where spillover cannot occur. Other buyers willingly accept the spillover that arises from supplier development, and invest in generic supplier development. Our game-theoretic model captures a buyer'...

摘要：We study the value of information in a supply chain where the manufacturer introduces a direct-selling channel to encroach in the retailer's market. Based on different information structures regarding the direct-selling cost for the manufacturer, we analyze three models: incomplete information model, asymmetric information model, and full information model. By comparing the firms' profits in these models, we derive the value of the manufacturer's information acquisition and the value of sharin...

摘要：In this paper, we consider a redundancy allocation problem in a series-parallel system with uncertain component lifetimes of multiple states, which involves multitype components and mixed redundancy strategy. We develop a distributionally robust redundancy allocation model using state-dependent ambiguity set, which describes the mean, expected cross-deviation, and the support conditional on each state of the component lifetime distribution. Our structural analysis of the worst-case system reli...
