Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to propose a robust multiobjective solution search approach for a mean-variance multiple correlated quality characteristics optimisation problem, so-called “multiple response optimisation (MRO) problem”. The solution approach needs to consider...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to highlight various aspects of business-to-business brand equity (B2BBE) and explain relative impact of marketing/advertising, research and development (R&D), human resource and distribution network to build compelling business brands that display better...

This paper builds on the work of Roman <italic>et al</italic>. [<italic>Quant. Finance</italic>, 2007, <bold>7</bold>, 443--458], whereby we incorporate the concept of the reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) technique. We reformulate Roman <italic>et al</italic>.'s model by including both non-deterministic <italic>design</italic> variables as well as probabilistic...</italic>

Sequential analysis as a sampling technique facilitates efficient statistical inference by considering less number of observations in comparison to the fixed sampling method. The optimal stopping rule dictates the sample size and also the statistical inference deduced thereafter. In this...

This work analyzes a two echelon (warehouse-retailer) serial supply chain to study the impact of information sharing (IS) and lead time on bullwhip effect and on-hand inventory. The customer demand at the retailer is assumed to be an autoregressive (AR(1)) process. Both the echelons use a...
