  摘要：Problem definition: We study a compliance problem of healthcare workers (HCWs) in hospitals where hand hygiene compliance rates are generally low. We first analyze how peer effects impact compliance decisions of HCWs and then analyze how monitoring can improve compliance. Academic/practical relevance: Inducing process compliance of human operators is an ongoing challenge in operations management with significant implications on the productivity and the quality of the products or services rende...
• Stock Market Reaction to Supply Chain Disruptions from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: This paper provides empirical evidence on the effect of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) on the financial performance of.firms. Academic/practical relevance: The GEJE was characterized as the most significant disruption ever for global supply chains. In its aftermath, there was a great deal of debate about the risks and vulnerabilities of global supply chains, and there were calls to redesign and restructure supply chains. Methodology: We empirically estimate the...

  摘要：Problem definition: We design a combinatorial auction to clear the Turkish day-ahead electricity market, and we develop effective tabu search and genetic algorithms to solve the problem of matching bidders and maximizing social welfare within a reasonable amount of time for practical purposes. Academic/practical relevance: A double-sided blind combinatorial auction is used to determine electricity prices for day-ahead markets in Europe. Considering the integer requirements associated with mark...
• Pricing and Matching with Forward-Looking Buyers and Sellers AI翻译
  作者：Chen, Yiwei; Hu, Ming
  作者单位：University System of Ohio; University of Cincinnati; University of Toronto
  摘要：Problem definition: We study a dynamic market over a finite horizon for a single product or service in which buyers with private valuations and sellers with private supply costs arrive following Poisson processes. A single market-making intermediary decides dynamically on the ask and bid prices that will be posted to buyers and sellers, respectively, and on the matching decisions after buyers and sellers agree to buy and sell. Buyers and sellers can wait strategically for better prices after t...
• Collaboration, Interruptions, and Changeover Times: Workflow Model and Empirical Study of Hospitalist Charting AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: Collaboration is important in services but may lead to interruptions. Professionals exercise discretion on when to preempt individual tasks to switch to collaborative tasks. Academic/practical relevance: Discretionary task switching can introduce changeover times when resuming the preempted task and, thus, can increase total processing time. Methodology: We analyze and quantify how collaboration, through interruptions and discretionary changeovers, affects total processing ...
• Cause Marketing: Product Pricing, Design, and Distribution AI翻译
  作者：Gao, Fei
  作者单位：Indiana University System; IU Kelley School of Business; Indiana University Bloomington
  摘要：Problem definition: In a cause marketing (CM) campaign, a firm donates part of its sales revenue to a charity for a social cause when customers purchase the cause-linked product. We study a firm's pricing decisions with CM and the implications for the participating charity. We also consider the design and distribution of cause-linked products. Academic/practical relevance: CM has become popular in recent years. However, there is little analytical work on how a firm's strategic actions (e.g., p...
• Condition-Based Production Planning: Adjusting Production Rates to Balance Output and Failure Risk AI翻译
  作者：Broek, Michiel A. J. uit het; Teunter, Ruud H.; de Jonge, Bram; Veldman, Jasper; Van Foreest, Nicky D.
  作者单位：University of Groningen
  摘要：Problem Definition: Many production systems deteriorate over time as a result of load and stress caused by production. The deterioration rate of these systems typically depends on the production rate, implying that the equipment's deterioration rate can be controlled by adjusting the production rate. We introduce the use of condition monitoring to dynamically adjust the production rate to minimize maintenance costs and maximize production revenues. We study a single-unit system for which the n...
• The Role of Decision Rights in Codevelopment Initiatives AI翻译
  作者：Agrawal, Vishal; Oraiopoulos, Nektarios
  作者单位：Georgetown University; University of Cambridge
  摘要：Problem definition: How should decision rights be allocated between firms occupying different positions in the value chain to maximize the value of a codevelopment project? Academic/practical relevance: We contribute to the operations management literature on the benefits and challenges of codevelopment initiatives by looking at the design of optimal governance structures that specify the allocation of rights to make certain decisions. Our problem is motivated by real-world challenges observed...
• Shipping to Heterogeneous Customers with Competing Carriers AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: We study a shipper transporting and selling a short life-cycle product to a destination market via two competing transportation service providers (i.e., carriers). The two carriers offer distinct speeds and competing freight rates, whereas customers in the destination market obtain higher utility if they receive the product earlier and their time preferences are heterogeneous. Academic/practical relevance: Perishable products are commonly shipped via multiple means of trans...

  摘要：Problem definition: We analyze a resource allocation problem faced by medical surplus recovery organizations (MSROs) that recover medical surplus products to fulfill the needs of underserved healthcare facilities in developing countries. The objective of this study is to identify implementable strategies to support recipient selection decisions to improve MSROs' value provision capability. Academic/practical relevance: MSRO supply chains face several challenges that differ from those in tradit...
