摘要：Recently, leading manufacturers have started adopting information and communication technologies (ICTs) to assist operators in capturing assembly operational errors. These manufacturers choose to develop internal ICTs and decide whether to implement proactive experiential learning to continuously improve the rate of recognizing assembly operational errors, or acquire external ICTs from third-party technology providers that increase the rate of recognizing assembly operational errors but fail t...

摘要：We study dynamic routing in an agricultural machinery repair network where mobile repair teams travel to spatially dispersed breakdowns and both travel and on-site repair times are stochastic and comparable. We formulate a finite-horizon Markov decision process tracking each team's job list and service path, and derive a tractable index-based policy via Whittle-style Lagrangian relaxation that decomposes the original problem into team-wise subproblems. For each team, we obtain a closed-form in...

摘要：When an automotive manufacturer recalls a defective vehicle, federal law requires the manufacturer to send a recall notification letter to affected consumers using standardized language. Regardless of whether the recall was initiated voluntarily by the manufacturer or due to pressure from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), these recall letters imply that the manufacturer acted proactively to protect consumer safety, although this is not always accurate. We refer to the...

摘要：Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) rely heavily on fundraising activities to generate the resources necessary to fulfill their missions and sustain their programs and services. While fundraising is inherently labor-intensive, current research often overlooks the return on labor investment when evaluating performance. Furthermore, NPOs face a critical decision regarding the allocation of fundraising teams across diverse solicitation methods to generate revenue, yet existing literature presents conf...

摘要：A developer's popularity plays a crucial role in their success within open source software (OSS) communities and their access to sponsorship opportunities. This study seeks to answer the question: which signals have the most predictive power for popularity and sponsorship volume on social coding platforms? Using algorithm-supported abductive theory generation supplemented by qualitative insights from observations and interviews, we arrive at a theory of peer evaluation in OSS communities. We e...

摘要：The number of recruitment postings on digital recruitment hiring platforms has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the weak surveillance and operations of these platforms, combined with the fact that most job seekers have relatively low vigilance and a strong desire for recruitment offers, enable scammers to easily deceive job seekers for their money and confidential information. In this work, we combine prevailing text mining techniques (i.e., ChatGPT with prompting engineering an...

摘要：In response to social protests, transportation network companies introduced incentive programs to improve hourly utilization and retain drivers. While such initiatives assume increased driver commitment, their impact on labor allocation across competing gig economy platforms remains unexplored. This study uses a quasi-experimental design and analyzes 20 weeks of data comprising over 75 million trips to examine spillover effects of an East Asian platform's comprehensive personnel on-road insura...

摘要：This paper studies the data-driven design of a smart emergency response system for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) that involves drones for automatic external defibrillator delivery and community responders alerted via a mobile application, in addition to ambulances. Our study is motivated by the widespread exploration of drones for delivery service, and the emergence of mobile applications that crowdsource community for emergency response. Based on a historical OHCA dataset with communi...

摘要：The recent elimination of the United States de minimis exemption for import tariffs has been reported to have a significant impact on ultra-fresh fashion companies such as Shein and Temu. This article develops a game-theoretic model to investigate the impact of such tariffs. Specifically, we consider a model for a global ultra-fresh fashion supply chain with economies of scale under tariff hikes. Our model analysis reveals the following main insights. First, the ultra-fresh fashion firm would ...
