We consider two locations in tandem of an inventory model, so-called the buffer and the store. The content levels in both locations are controlled simultaneously by transferring inventory from the buffer location to the store location. Under a certain cost function that takes into account the...

In this paper, we consider the problem of making simultaneous decisions on the location, service rate (capacity) and the price of providing service for facilities on a network. We assume that the demand for service from each node of the network follows a Poisson process. The demand is assumed to...

This paper addresses an optimal inventory control in a supply chain in which customers arrive at a facility according to a Poisson process and the facility provides service which takes exponential amounts of time, using items supplied by an outside supplier with exponential lead time process....

This paper is an in-depth treatment of an inventory control problem with perishable items. We focus on two prototypes of perishability for items that have a common shelflife and that arrive in batches with zero lead time: (i) sudden deaths due to disasters (e.g., spoilage because of extreme...

We consider a problem of dynamic replenishment of parts in the supply chain consisting of single class of customers, company, and supplier. Customers request a service via the WEB-based ordering system and the company supports service using parts which are procured from the supplier. The...

Measurements for fitting a given number of concentric circles are recorded. For each concentric circle several measurements are taken. The problem is to fit the given number of circles to the data such that all circles have a common center. This is a generalization of the problem of fitting a...

A model that combines an inventory and location decision is presented, analyzed and solved. In particular, we consider a single distribution center location that serves a finite number of sales outlets for a perishable product. The total cost to be minimized, consists of the transportation costs...

Facility layout problems involve the location of facilities in a planar arrangement such that facilities that are strongly connected to one another are close to each other and facilities that are not connected may be far from one another. Pairs of facilities that have a negative connection...
