In this paper, we focus on the relationship between operations-based variables (specifically, production speed, scrap rate and maintenance speed) and the manufacturing cost. These variables usually produce opposite influences on the variable cost and the fixed cost. For example, setting the...

The job shop scheduling problem (JSSP) has attracted much attention in the field of both information sciences and operations research. In terms of the objective function, most existing research has been focused on the makespan criterion (i.e., minimizing the overall completion time). However,...

This paper studies a newsvendor game in which two substitutable products are sold by two different retailers (newsvendors) with loss-averse preferences. Each loss-averse retailer facing stochastic customer demand and deterministic substitution rate will make an order quantity decision to...

This research develops a simulation model using a system dynamics approach to study the bullwhip effect caused in a military weapons maintenance supply system. Previous research shows that military supply chain maintenance problems are mainly caused by aging machines, equipment reliability,...

The goal of block mining is to obtain a set of genes that contain dependency among gene relationships. Such blocks without overlapping of genes can be further merged to form a new chromosome and the quality of the new chromosome can be greatly improved. Based on this concept, we propose a novel...

The research aims to develop a cloud-based service framework for reducing carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption in intelligent transportation system. It collects traffic condition, driving behavior, and video through telematics and digital tachygraphy and road-side cameras to facilitate...

The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is one of the most important problem with many real world application in transportation and logistics area. Presently carbon dioxide emission is one of the major concerns for the researchers. Green vehicle routing problem (GVRP) is the extension of the vehicle...

This work considers a monopolist firm which faces the following twin challenges of serving an environmentally sensitive market. The first challenge is the demand׳s elasticity to emissions and price. To entice its emission conscious customers and generate higher demand, the firm incrementally...
