Sales force deployment by genetic concepts
Sprecher, Arno - 1999
Sales force management decisions belong to the major issues considered in marketing research. Among others, the alignment of sales territories has been one of the main field of work for years. Recent results have reported a strong impact of the alignment of sales territories on profit, and,...

Optimisation algorithms for the charge dispatch of plug-in vehicles based on variable tariffs
Link, Jochen; Büttner, Markus; Dallinger, David; … - 2010
Plug-in vehicles powered by renewable energies are a viable way to reduce local and total emissions and could also support a highly efficient grid operation. Indirect control by variable tariffs is one option to link charging or even discharging time with the grid load and the renewable energy...

Modelling in Distributed Telecommunications Networks
Tomasgard, Asgeir; Dye, Shane; Wallace, Stein W.; … - 1997
The purpose of this paper is to formally describe new optimization models for distributed telecommunication networks.Modern distributed networks put more focus on the processing of information and less on the actual transportation of datathan we are traditionally used to in telecommunications....

Sales force deployment by mathematical programming
Haase, Knut - 1999
The sales force deployment problem is considered which arises in many selling organizations. As a solution a novel mixed-integer formulation is introduced which is specifically characterized by an infinite number of variables. A column generation approach is proposed to obtain upper and lower...

Lower bounds for the capacitated facility location problem based on column generation
Klose, Andreas; Drexl, Andreas - 2001
The Capacitated Facility Location Problem (CFLP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem with applications in distribution and production planning. A variety of lower bounds based on Lagrangean relaxation and subgradient optimization has been proposed for this problem. However, in...

Linearisierungsverfahren für Standortplanungsprobleme mit nichtlinearen Transportkosten
Stolletz, Raik; Stolletz, Lars - 2008
This paper analyzes the Steiner-Weber-Problem with piecewise linear or piecewise constant transportation costs. These non-differentiable cost functions are analyzed using different one-step and dynamic linearization methods, which are based on approximations via average and marginal costs. An...
