Production smoothing and the shape of the cost function
Galeotti, Marzio; Guiso, Luigi; Sack, Brian; … - 1997
We present estimates of inventory models based on firm level panel data and investigate whether over-simplified specification of the production technology may account for the frequent failure to find technological incentives to smooth production in the context of the standard linear-quadratic...

Long-run cost functions for electricity transmission
Rosellón, Juan; Vogelsang, Ingo; Weigt, Hannes - 2010
Electricity transmission has become the pivotal industry segment for electricity restructuring. Yet, little is known about the shape of transmission cost functions. Reasons for this can be a lack of consensus about the definition of transmission output and the complexitity of the relationship...

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...

Minimal investment budgets for flow line configuration
Kimms, Alf - 1998
A flow line consists of a sequence of work places (or stations) through which one or more producta (or models) move one-way in order to be processed. Each model requires specific Operations which must be performed in a predefined Order. To be able to do so, the stations must be equipped with...

A vendor-purchaser economic lot size problem with remanufacturing and deposit
Dobos, Imre; Gobsch, Barbara; Pakhomova, Nadezhda; … - 2011
An economic lot size problem is studied in which a single vendor supplies a single purchaser with a homogeneous product and takes a certain fraction of the used items back for remanufacturing, in exchange for a deposit transferred to the purchaser. For the given demand, productivity, fixed...
