摘要：This study studies the impact of loss aversion on queue configurations in a doubled-ended queueing system such as taxi stations. We assume that there exist two types of demands/passengers, namely, the short-haul and long-haul, with long-haul demand offering a larger monetary reward for drivers. Loss-averse drivers decide to either join or balk based on their overall utility. We first consider the passenger-side system to be a loss system; that is, an arriving passenger balks if there is no tax...

摘要：Fixed-bin selective assembly (FBSA) is a method for producing high-tolerance specification assembly from lower precision components. This study investigates the design tolerance implications of an external supplier sharing dimensional information about shipped parts to be used for FBSA. An approach for reducing surplus components in FBSA is to predictively adjust the assembler's manufacturing process so that components produced internally better match those of incoming parts. However, it is un...

摘要：In pursuit of Sustainable Development Goal 3 Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages, considerable global effort is directed toward elimination of infectious diseases in general and Neglected Tropical Diseases in particular. For various such diseases, the deployment of mobile screening teams forms an important instrument to reduce prevalence toward elimination targets. There is considerable variety in planning methods for the deployment of these mobile teams in practice...

摘要：We study a multi-country disaster preparedness partnership involving the joint prepositioning of emergency relief items. Our focus is the Caribbean region, which faces increasing disaster threats due to weather-related events and has committed to share its resources for regional integration. We collaborate with the inter-governmental Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), which is interested in creating a methodology to equitably (fairly) allocate the costs necessary to op...

摘要：Consider a firm that is developing an innovative product. We study the trade-offs associated with its product design decisions in regards to product performance (the function of the product), product reliability (whether the product will perform its function), and product time-to-market (the development time for the product). Specifically, while a more innovative product may deliver better product performance, without sufficient development time, the product may not be as reliable given that i...

摘要：The detection of environmental violators is critical to the long-term adoption of sustainability in supply chain management. However, there exist manufacturing facilities that report false environmental monitoring data, thereby seriously hampering governments' efforts to identify true offenders and to properly intervene. We integrate waste gas data from the world's largest Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) with a publicly available Violation and Punishment Dataset (VPD) to build pre...

摘要：Warehouse club (WC) retailers have typically expanded to new markets using stand-alone stores, rather than pursuing dense store networks as other (non-WC) retailers have in the past. While this strategy generates operating efficiencies, it also imposes high travel costs on households to shop, which calls into question WC stores' resilience to spatial competition from stores operating other formats. We examine this phenomenon by using data on households' shopping activity across markets served ...

摘要：During emergencies humanitarian supply chains need to respond swiftly, very often without time for good planning that may end up in excessive waste and emissions. This short-term focus on saving people's lives during disaster responses may harm communities and the planet in the long-run. Even long-term (development) focus on improving the life conditions of the poor may be either unsustainable due to the lack of community involvement or inequitable due to lack of resources. At the same time, c...

摘要：Equity-based crowdfunding platforms enable investors to come together to invest in startups and help lay-investors to follow the lead of investors with good startup evaluation skills. Crowdfunding platforms often gather users' inputs to evaluate investors and startups, but such inputs are quite noisy and often rely on past performance. Many investors with good evaluation skills do not have substantial past investment experience but still can lead investment rounds. This helps provide investmen...
