Managing on-air ad inventory in broadcast television.(advertising)
December 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
This work, motivated by the experiences of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), presents an analytical model for managing on-air ad inventory in broadcast television. The practice in the broadcast television industry is...
The value of information sharing in a multi-product supply chain with product substitution.
December 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
Information sharing among firms within a supply chain has been a cornerstone of recent innovations in supply chain management. It is well known that Wal-Mart and Proctor & Gamble have been sharing point-of-sale and...
Stock positioning and performance estimation for distribution systems with service constraints.
December 1, 2008... 1. Introduction and literature review
Designing efficient distribution systems to meet uncertain customer demand while minimizing inventory holding cost and satisfying service requirements is a fundamental operations management problem....
Setting basestock levels in multi-product systems with setups and random yield.
December 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
Most production systems are characterized by multiple uncertainties, which cause output to be highly variable. When yield is random, not only is the usable quantity uncertain, but the effective capacity of the system is...
Scheduling with subcontracting options.
December 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
Subcontracting is the procurement of an item or service that a firm is normally capable of producing using its own facilities and the requires the firm to make specifications available to the supplier (Day, 1956). A more...
Exact and heuristic procedures for capacity expansion problems with congestion.
December 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
Capacity expansion problems, which decide the size and timing of capacity additions and deletions to achieve minimum total cost have been studied in the operations research literature for the last five decades (Luss, 1982)....
Production planning with flexible customization using a branch-price-cut method.
December 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
In this work we consider a production planning problem of a manufacturer producing some commodity item which is an assembly of several components or subassemblies. Because of advances in rapid prototyping technologies,...
Robotic cells with parallel machines and multiple dual gripper robots: a comparative overview.
December 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
Robotic cells have become a standard tool in modern manufacturing. These computer-controlled material handling and production systems provide many benefits, including speed and precision, reduced labor costs, the potential...
A genetic-search-guided greedy algorithm for multi-resource shop scheduling with resource flexibility.
December 1, 2008... 1. Introduction
In many manufacturing systems, an operation may require several resources, and a resource may be available in multiple units. Flexibility is often introduced in system operation to deal with random changes and disturbances....
