"Inventory Analytics provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the theory and practice of inventory control - a significant research area central to supply chain planning. The book outlines the foundations of inventory systems and surveys prescriptive analytics models for...

In this paper, a fuzzy multiobjective mathematical programming model for operational transport planning in a supply chain is presented. The objectives of the proposed model are the minimization of the number of used trucks and the total inventory level, by considering vehicle capacities as a...

Several approaches for subset recovery and improved forecasting accuracy have been proposed and studied. One way is to apply a regularization strategy and solve the model selection task as a continuous optimization problem. One of the most popular approaches in this research field is given by...

The paper presents a detailed documentation of the underlying concepts and methods of the Spatial Agent-based Competition Model (SpAbCoM). For instance, SpAbCoM is used to study firms' choices of spatial pricing policy (GRAUBNER et al., 2011a) or pricing and location under a framework of...

In this paper we consider the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with multiple execution modes for each activity and makespan minimization as objective. We present a new genetic algorithm approach to solve this problem. The genetic encoding is based on a precedence feasible sequence...

Based upon an empirical survey among the 200 biggest CPA firms in Germany an hierarchical modeling framework for audit-staff scheduling with three levels has been developed. For the second level, the so-called medium-to-short-term planning, a binary optimization model is introduced which is...

Small cell deployment is considered one of solutions to increase capacity and improve the coverage to meet the growing of mobile data traffic. LTE-Wi-Fi Aggregation (LWA) is Heterogeneous based which enables an aggregation between LTE small cells and Wi-Fi Access Points (AP) at radio network...

Purpose: Aim at choosing a relative good vehicle routing in emergency conditions under constraint conditions when disaster happens. Rapid response and rescue can save a lot of people. Design/methodology/approach: Modeling analysis: establishing a mathematical model of multi-objective emergency...
