The July, I960, issue of Management Science contains an English translation of an important original article by L. V. Kantorovich [Kantorovich, L. V. Mathematical Methods of Organizing and Planning Production. Leningrad University, 1939, with a Foreword by A. R. Marchenko (Russian). An English...

Scheduling heating oil production is an important management problem. It is also a complex one. Weather and demand uncertainties, allocation of production between different refineries, joint- and by-product relations, storage limitations, maintenance of minimal supplies and many other factors...

Discussion that was omitted from page 210 of the authors' article "Duality in Semi-Infinite Programs and Some Works of Haar and Caratheódory," Management Science, Vol. 9, No. 2 (January 1963).

An accelerating increase in linear programming applications to industrial problems has made it virtually impossible to keep abreast of them, not only because of their number (and diversity) but also because of the conditions under which many are carried out. Industrial (and governmental) secrecy...

Numerous alternatives are available in the kinds of studies which can be elected in the market research which should precede the introduction of a new product. This gives rise to a possible network interpretation and treatment by an associated chance-constrained programming characterization and...

This paper was prepared for presentation on October 15, 1965, as a luncheon address at The Institute of Management Sciences Eastern Meeting held at the Sheraton Hotel, Rochester, New York. Some of our thoughts on this subject were stimulated by a TIMS sponsored methodology symposium on...

An illustrative example is developed from an actual application of goal programming to media planning over a period of time. These goals involve distributions of frequencies by demographic and other characteristics as well as budget and other constraining limitations.

A goal programming model for selecting media is presented which alters the objective and extends previous media models by accounting for cumulative duplicating audiences over a variety of time periods. This permits detailed control of the distribution of message frequencies directed at each of...

In linear programming under uncertainty the two-stage problem is handled by assuming that one chooses a first set of constrained decision variables; this is followed by observations of certain random variables after which another set of decisions must be made to adjust for any constraint...

Recent scientific research has made available a variety of tools which can be brought to bear on managerial problems. One of these tools, which has already proved its worth in practical applications, is linear programming. It is not the purpose of this article to explore the full ramifications...
