Dynamic pricing problems have received considerable attention in the operations management literature in the last two decades. Most of the work has focused on structural results and managerial insights using stylized models without considering business rules and issues commonly encountered in...

A companion paper (Part I) considers the problem of minimizing the weighted earliness and tardiness of jobs scheduled on a single machine around a common due date, d, which is unrestrictively late. This paper (Part II) considers the problem of minimizing the unweighted earliness and tardiness of...

We study the recently identified class of generalized due date scheduling problems. These are machine scheduling problems for which due dates are specified according to the position in which a job is completed, rather than the identity of that job. Flexible manufacturing environments and public...

We study conflict and cooperation issues arising in a supply chain where a manufacturer makes products which are shipped to customers by a distributor. The manufacturer and the distributor each has an ideal schedule, determined by cost and capacity considerations. However, these two schedules...

Problem definition: Intraproject learning in project scheduling is concerned with the use of learning among the similar tasks in the project to improve the overall performance of the project schedule. Under intraproject learning, knowledge gained from completing some tasks in a project is used...
