Flexibility in Port Selection: A Quantitative Approach Using Floating Stocks

Asperen, E. van; Dekker, R. - Erasmus University Rotterdam, Econometric Institute - 2010

Ports provide a number of logistical choices concerning storage, onward transport, and postponement. We investigate the routing flexibility offered by ports with a central location with respect to the hinterland. This flexibility is investigated using an illustrative case in which a number of...

No Going Back: The Interactions Between Processed Inventories and Trade Credit

Mateut, Simona; Mizen, Paul; Ziane, Ydriss - Centre for Finance, Credit and Macroeconomics (CFCM), …

Our paper focuses on testing the advantages in controlling the buyer and salvaging goods supplied where we have information on the nature of the transacted good and information on the inventory of buyers and sellers. We find transactions in specialized goods tend to be conducted more often using...

Corporate social responsibility and inventory policy

Barcos, Lucía; Barroso, Alicia; Surroca, Jordi; … - Instituto sobre Desarrollo Empresarial (INDEM), … - 2010

. Specifically, we hypothesize that customers pressure firms to increase inventories; employees have conflicting views regarding … inventories and, for this reason, they do not pressure firms in a particular direction; and environmental activists force firms to … reduce inventories. The second reason is that there is different level of stakeholder proactiveness contingent on the …

France’s national economic wealth declined in 2009 for the second year in a row.

Couleaud, A.; Delamarre, F. - In: Quarterly selection of articles - Bulletin de la Banque … (2010) 19, pp. 5-16

In 2009, the value of France’s national economic wealth fell for the second year running, but at a slower rate than in 2008. The upturn in net financial wealth partly offset the more pronounced contraction in the value of non-financial wealth, which was essentially caused by weaker property...

Inventories with Multiple Supply Sources and Networks of Queues with Overflow Bypasses

Song, Jing-Sheng; Zipkin, Paul - In: Management Science 55 (2009) 3, pp. 362-372

Consider an inventory system with multiple supply sources and Poisson demand. The replenishment lead times from each source are stochastic, representing congestion and disruption. We develop performance evaluation and optimization tools for a family of reasonable order policies. These policies...

Assessing the value of early order commitment for supply chains with (s, S) policies and lost sales

Hu, Xiaoying; Xie, Jinxing - In: International Journal of Applied Management Science 2 (2010) 3, pp. 205-223

Early order commitment (EOC) is one of the strategies for supply chain coordination, wherein a retailer places its orders to a supplier in advance, i.e., the retailer's ordering lead time is longer than the regular delivery time from the supplier to the retailer. This paper explores the value of...

A note on how to compute economic order quantities without derivatives by cost comparisons: some comments

Cardenas-Barron, Leopoldo Eduardo - In: International Journal of Applied Management Science 2 (2010) 2, pp. 198-204

This paper discusses some points of the algebraic optimisation method and the cost comparisons optimisation method. Moreover, mathematical expressions are derived for the backorders level for the EOQ and EPQ inventory models with planned backorders that were not provided by the cost comparisons...

An unreliable production system with fluctuating production and demand rates

Mohebbi, Esmail - In: International Journal of Applied Management Science 2 (2010) 1, pp. 20-35

This paper contains an analytical formulation for performance measurement of an unreliable production-storage operation where production and demand rates for a single item are subject to random fluctuations in the operating environment. These fluctuations are represented as transitions among the...

Pricing and inventory policies under price-tracking behaviour

MacDonald, Leo; Anderson, Chris K.; Rasmussen, Henning - In: International Journal of Revenue Management 4 (2010) 1, pp. 1-21

We develop a demand rate model for the optimisation of retail sales of perishable assets when consumers track prices over the sales horizon. We model this behaviour within an aggregate demand framework, solving the initial joint inventory and pricing problem when the demand is deterministic as...
