IIE Transactions archives from April 2008
R & D project scheduling when activities may fail.(Research and Development )(Report)
April 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
An important feature of Research and Development (R & D) projects is that, apart from the commercial and market risks common to all projects, their constituent activities also carry the risk of technical failure. Therefore,...
Multicriteria airport gate assignment and Pareto simulated annealing.(Report)
April 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
Since the early 1970s a large number of papers have been written on the problems that have to be addressed by airport managers. We refer the reader to the recent survey by Dorndorf et al. (2004), where a comprehensive...
On a mixed zero-one separable non-linear approach for water irrigation scheduling.(Author abstract)(Report)
April 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
In 1968 the Council of Europe published the European Water Charter (http://assembly.coe.int/), which states fundamental principles for the conservation of water resources and criteria for their rational use. Besides...
The orienteering problem with stochastic profits.(Report)
April 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
When an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), e.g., an auto manufacturer, makes a significant design change that eliminates a product line and leads to inventory at suppliers becoming obsolete, the OEM must often reimburse...
Location and allocation of service units on a congested network.(Report)
April 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
This paper belongs to the family of median-type location models on congested networks with fixed facilities. In median location problems the focus is on the average behavior of the system. Congestion occurs when requests...
Periodic-review inventory systems with random yield and demand: bounds and heuristics.(Report)
April 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
This paper studies an infinite-horizon periodic-review inventory system under uncertain yield and demand. For this system, the structure of the optimal policy is known to be of the threshold type: an order is placed if and...
Incorporating a delay mechanism in ordering policies into multi-echelon distribution systems.(Report)
April 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
The literature on single-location continuous-review inventory models is extensive and contains studies on the analysis and computation of optimal or near-optimal parameters of the well known (s, S) and (Q, R) policies under...
A binomial approximation of lot yield under Markov modulated Bernoulli item yield.(Report)
April 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
This paper addresses the mathematical modeling of yield uncertainty. As Yano and Lee (1995) explain, because the modeling of random yields involves an inherent trade-off between accuracy and tractability, yield uncertainty...
The route expropriation problem.(Report)
April 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
The traditional network design problem (or fixed-charge design problem) as discussed by Magnanti and Wong (1984) is to select routes to minimize the total transportation and fixed costs (a fixed cost is associated with each...
An improved approximation algorithm for the two-machine open shop scheduling problem with family setup times.(Report)
April 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
We consider the two-machine open shop scheduling problem with family setup times. The problem generalizes the classical two-machine open shop problem and belongs to scheduling models with batching under job availability,...
