The major objective of this paper is to study the fault tolerance of gene networks. For single gene knockouts we investigate the disturbance of the communication abilities of gene networks globally. For our study we use directed scale-free networks resembling important properties of gene...

A multi-item make-to-order production system in a stochastic environment is analyzed. Assuming a common cycle production approach, the impact of safety stock, cycle time, demand, processing time and setup time on service-level and total relevant cost (holding, setup and backorder cost) is...
