"Inventory Analytics provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the theory and practice of inventory control - a significant research area central to supply chain planning. The book outlines the foundations of inventory systems and surveys prescriptive analytics models for...

In this paper, a fuzzy multiobjective mathematical programming model for operational transport planning in a supply chain is presented. The objectives of the proposed model are the minimization of the number of used trucks and the total inventory level, by considering vehicle capacities as a...

En este trabajo se presenta un modelo de programación matemática fuzzy multiobjetivo para la planificación del transporte a nivel operativo en una cadena de suministro. Los objetivos del modelo propuesto son la minimización del número de camiones utilizados y del inventario total,...

Forecasting demand and determining safety stocks are key aspects of supply chain planning. Demand forecasting involves predicting future demand for a product or service using historical data and other external and internal drivers. Stockouts and excess production can be reduced by accurately...

Several approaches for subset recovery and improved forecasting accuracy have been proposed and studied. One way is to apply a regularization strategy and solve the model selection task as a continuous optimization problem. One of the most popular approaches in this research field is given by...

The paper presents a detailed documentation of the underlying concepts and methods of the Spatial Agent-based Competition Model (SpAbCoM). For instance, SpAbCoM is used to study firms' choices of spatial pricing policy (GRAUBNER et al., 2011a) or pricing and location under a framework of...

In this paper we consider the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with multiple execution modes for each activity and makespan minimization as objective. We present a new genetic algorithm approach to solve this problem. The genetic encoding is based on a precedence feasible sequence...
