The efficiency and the effectiveness of supply chain networks primarily rely on facility location decisions. However, these decisions are closely related to the other supply chain management decisions, i.e., inventory management and transportation decisions. Therefore, the main goal of this...

In this thesis, we identify the critical operational characteristics for various distribution strategies, and then develop integrated distribution network design models by taking into account those operational factors. The first part of this thesis presents a crossdocking network design problem...

Recognising the learning styles of today's upper level engineering undergraduates, a multimedia educational tool is developed to supplement traditional instruction in courses related to Materials Handling (MH) and facility design. The CD-ROM based system teaches design and analysis principles by...

In this study, we use zero-one variables to control fixed transaction costs independent of trade size in the portfolio selection problem. The optimal solution to the maximum flow, risk constrained stochastic portfolio network is found using Digital Portfolio Theory (DPT). Digital signals...
