Relational Supply Contracts: Optimal Concessions in Return Policies for Continuous Quality Improvements
ISBN: 9783642027901 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Supply relations are often governed by so-called relational contracts. These are informal agreements sustained by the value of future cooperation. Although relational contracts persist in practice, research on these types of contract is only emerging in Operations and Supply Chain Management. This book studies a two-firm supply chain, where repeated transactions via well-established supply contracts and continued quality-improvement efforts are governed by a relational contract. We are able to characterize an optimal relational contract, i.e., to develop policies for supplier and buyer... Supply relations are often governed by so-called relational contracts.

Cooperative Lot Sizing Games in Supply Chains
ISBN: 9783642137242 / Angielski / Miękka / 167 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The presented work combines two areas of research: cooperative game theory and lot size optimization. One of the most essential problems in cooperations is to allocate cooperative profits or costs among the partners. The core is a well known method from cooperative game theory that describes efficient and stable profit/cost allocations. A general algorithm based on the idea of constraint generation to compute core elements for cooperative optimization problems is provided. Beside its application for the classical core, an extensive discussion of core variants is presented and how they can be...

Single-Facility Location Problems with Barriers
ISBN: 9781441930279 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Everyday life bears a multitude of location problems and locational de- sions. These may be as simple as how best to place a pencil on a desk without having to reach too far and still keeping the work space clear, up to the question of where to place the next out of hundreds of thousands of transistors on a microchip. Some of these questions have easy answers, while others are so complex that not even satisfactory solutions are ava- able, never mind asking for optimized placement. The scales of problems reach from microchip design up to global trade and may demand consid- ation of one, two,...

Integrated Capacity and Price Control in Revenue Management: A Fuzzy System Approach
ISBN: 9783835009868 / Angielski / Miękka / 173 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Analyzing the basic conditions of modern service and production processes, the strengthened competition constraints and unpredictable demand fluctuations are obvious factors which c- ate an intense pressure, on the one hand, to reduce costs through an efficient process control and, on the other hand, to optimize revenue through an adequate capacity and price control (demand-side revenue optimization). Two points can be recognized when analyzing the - search on this basic profit maximization problem: Firstly, much of the research focuses on the cost-reduction problem. This is characterized,...

Some Aspects of Queueing and Storage Systems
ISBN: 9783540049470 / Angielski / Miękka / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In these lecture notes which grew out of my lectures at the Honours classes of Honash University, I have attempted to develop queueing and storage problems from a unified viewpoint. It has been recognized a decade ago that many of the queueing and storage problems belong to the same family of stochastic processes; so a problem in storage theory may bave an analogue in a queueing situation and vice versa. In my notes I have highlighted this aspect and tried to develop a broad perspective in a student rather than to work out in detail the various e~rcises in queueing and inventory problems...

Foundations of Non-Stationary Dynamic Programming with Discrete Time Parameter
ISBN: 9783540049562 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present work is an extended version of a manuscript of a course which the author taught at the University of Hamburg during summer 1969. The main purpose has been to give a rigorous foundation of stochastic dynamic programming in a manner which makes the theory easily applicable to many different practical problems. We mention the following features which should serve our purpose. a) The theory is built up for non-stationary models, thus making it possible to treat e.g. dynamic programming under risk, dynamic programming under uncertainty, Markovian models, stationary models, and models...

Refinements of the Nash Equilibrium Concept
ISBN: 9783540126904 / Angielski / Miękka / 155 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this monograph, noncooperative games are studied. Since in a noncooperative game binding agreements are not possible, the solution of such a game has to be self enforcing, i. e. a Nash equilibrium (NASH 1950,1951J). In general, however, a game may possess many equilibria and so the problem arises which one of these should be chosen as the solution. It was first pointed out explicitly in SELTEN 1965J that I not all Nash equilibria of an extensive form game are qualified to be selected as the solution, since an equilibrium may prescribe irrational behavior at unreached parts of the game...

The M/M/∞service System with Ranked Servers in Heavy Traffic
ISBN: 9783540133773 / Angielski / Miękka / 129 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We are concerned here with a service facility consisting of a large (- finite) number of servers in parallel. The service times for all servers are identical, but there is a preferential ordering of the servers. Each newly arriving customer enters the lowest ranked available server and remains there until his service is completed. It is assumed that customers arrive according to a Poisson process of rate A , that all servers have exponentially distributed service times with rate ~ and that a = A/~ is large compared with 1. Generally, we are concerned with the stochastic properties of the...

Degeneracy Graphs and the Neighbourhood Problem
ISBN: 9783540160496 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A few years ago nobody would have anticipated that in connection with degeneracy in Linear Programming quite a new field. could originate. In 1976 a very simple question has been posed: in the case an extreme pOint (EP) of a polytope is degenerate and the task is to find all neighbouring EP's of the degenerate EP, is it necessary to determine all basic solutions of the corresponding equalities system associated with the degenerate EP -in order to be certain to determine all neighbours of this EP? This question implied another one: Does there exists a subset of the mentioned set of basic...

Programming in Networks and Graphs: On the Combinatorial Background and Near-Equivalence of Network Flow and Matching Algorithms
ISBN: 9783540189695 / Angielski / Miękka / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Network flow and matching are often treated separately in the literature and for each class a variety of different algorithms has been developed. These algorithms are usually classified as primal, dual, primal-dual etc. The question the author addresses in this work is that of the existence of a common combinatorial principle which might be inherent in all those apparently different approaches. It is shown that all common network flow and matching algorithms implicitly follow the so-called shortest augmenting path. This can be interpreted as a greedy-like decision rule where the optimal...

Inventory-Production Theory: A Linear Policy Approach
ISBN: 9783540084433 / Angielski / Miękka / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The term inventory-production theory is not well defined. It com prises e. g. such models like cash balance models, production smoothing models and pure inventory models. We shall here mainly be concerned with stochastic dynamic problems and shall give exact definitions in the next section. Most of our work will concentrate on cash balance models. However, production smoothing situations and pure inventory problems will also be investigated. Since we are faced in principle with dynamic stochastic situa tions a dynamic programming approach would be appropriate. This approach, however, due to...
