Metaheuristics for the Order Batching Problem in Manual Order Picking Systems
Henn, Sebastian; Koch, Sören; Doerner, Karl F.; … - In: BuR - Business Research 3 (2010) 1, pp. 82-105
In manual order picking systems, order pickers walk or drive through a distribution warehouse in order to collect items which are requested by (internal or external) customers. In order to perform these operations efficiently, it is usually required that customer orders are combined into (more...

Optimal Continuous Order Quantity (s,s) Policies
Bázsa, Emöke; den Iseger, Peter - 2001
The most recent optimization algorithm for (s, S) order policies with continuous demand was developed byFedergruen and Zipkin (1985). This was also the first efficient algorithm, which uses policy iteration instead ofdiscretization. Zheng and Federgruen (1991) developed an even more efficient...

Single Item Inventory Models
Bázsa, Emöke; den Iseger, Peter - 2001
This paper extends a fundamental result about single-item inventory systems. This approachallows more general performance measures, demand processes and order policies, and leads toeasier analysis and implementation, than prior research. We obtain closed form expressions forthe Laplace...

Service Parts Inventory Control with Lateral Transshipment that takes Time
Yang, Guangyuan; Dekker, Rommert - 2010
In equipment-intensive industries such as truck manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, photo copiers,and airliners, service parts are often slow moving items for which, in some cases, the transshipment timeis not negligible. However, this aspect is hardly considered in the existing spare...

Integrating Pricing and Inventory Control: Is it Worth the Effort?
Gimpl-Heersink, Lisa; Rudloff, Christian; Fleischmann, … - In: BuR - Business Research 1 (2008) 1, pp. 106-123
In this paper we first show that the gains achievable by integrating pricing and inventory control are usually small for classical demand functions. We then introduce reference price models and demonstrate that for this class of demand functions the benefits of integration with inventory control...

Analytic Decision Rules for Financial Stochastic Programs
Siegmann, Arjen H.; Lucas, André - 2000
Contemporary financial stochastic programs typically involve a trade-offbetween return and (downside)-risk. Using stochastic programming we characterize analytically (rather than numerically) the optimal decisions that follow from characteristic single-stage and multi-stage versions of such...
