We study an experiment of the students-proposing deferred acceptance mechanism (DA) in matching markets where firms are matched with students. We investigated the two different situations: (i) Students know firms' preferences and firms submit their true preference, (ii) Students know firms'...

This paper examines how a firm's choice of the type of experiment impacts on its potential exploitation of new technological opportunities. It does so in the context of the failure of successful firms (or disruption) where the literature has informally suggested that firms undertake errors in...

CMPL (Coliop Mathematical Programming Language) is a mathematical programming language for modelling linear programming (LP) problems or mixed integer programming (MIP) problems. The CMPL syntax is similar in formulation to the the original mathematical model but also includes syntactic elements...

This paper treats the problem of setting the inventory level of closed-loop owlines operating under the constant-work-in-process (CONWIP) protocol. We solve ahuge but simple linear program that models an entire simulation run of a closed-loopow line in discrete time to determine a production...

The production planning with renewable resources faces several special problems compared tocommon planning methods with inputs which are “always available”. Due to their unsteadiness ingrowth, external influences like weather and natural resources and specific transport and...

In this paper the authors present a case study from the woodprocessingindustry. It focuses on a cutting process in which material fromstock is cut down in order to provide the items required by the customers in thedesired qualities, sizes and quantities. In particular, two aspects make this...
