On a Production Allocation and Distribution Problem

Mairs, Thomas G.; Wakefield, Glenn W.; Johnson, Ellis L.; … - In: Management Science 24 (1978) 15, pp. 1622-1630

We describe a production allocation problem which was worked on at Frito-Lay and an integer programming model formulated for its solution. In connection with model formulation, we discuss estimation and collection of the required cost coefficients. Finally, we report on the use of two different...

A Branch-and-Price Approach to the Share-of-Choice Product Line Design Problem

Xinfang (Jocelyn) Wang; Camm, Jeffrey D.; Curry, David J. - In: Management Science 55 (2009) 10, pp. 1718-1728

We develop a branch-and-price algorithm for constructing an optimal product line using partworth estimates from choice-based conjoint analysis. The algorithm determines the specific attribute levels for each multiattribute product in a set of products to maximize the resulting product line's...

Maximum Commonality Problems: Applications and Analysis

Dawande, Milind; Kumar, Subodha; Mookerjee, Vijay; … - In: Management Science 54 (2008) 1, pp. 194-207

Recently, an agile software development technique called extreme programming has caught the attention of practitioners and researchers in the software industry. A core practice of extreme programming is pair programming, where two developers work on the same piece of code. We introduce the...

Lower Bounds for the Capacitated Facility Location Problem Based on Column Generation

Klose, Andreas; Drexl, Andreas - In: Management Science 51 (2005) 11, pp. 1689-1705

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,...

Lot Sizing in General Assembly Systems with Setup Costs, Setup Times, and Multiple Constrained Resources

Katok, Elena; Lewis, Holly S.; Harrison, Terry P. - In: Management Science 44 (1998) 6, pp. 859-877

We introduce a heuristic method for finding good, feasible solutions for multiproduct lot sizing problems with general … this heuristic by comparing its solutions to optimal solutions of small randomly generated problems and to time …-truncated Optimization Subroutine Library (OSL) solutions of medium-sized randomly generated problems. In the first case, the heuristic …

Optimal Models for Meal-Break and Start-Time Flexibility in Continuous Tour Scheduling

Brusco, Michael J.; Jacobs, Larry W. - In: Management Science 46 (2000) 12, pp. 1630-1641

This paper presents a compact integer-programming model for large-scale continuous tour scheduling problems that incorporate meal-break window, start-time band, and start-time interval policies. For practical scheduling environments, generalized set-covering formulations (GSCFs) of such problems...

Long-Distance Access Network Design

Berger, Rosemary T.; Raghavan, S. - In: Management Science 50 (2004) 3, pp. 309-325

Long-distance telephone companies in the United States pay access fees to local telephone companies to transport calls that originate and terminate on their networks. These charges form the largest portion of the cost of providing long-distance service. Recent changes in the structure of access...

Flight Crew Scheduling

Graves, Glenn W.; McBride, Richard D.; Gershkoff, Ira; … - In: Management Science 39 (1993) 6, pp. 736-745

A new crew scheduling optimization system has been developed for United Airlines. The system was developed to permit quick response to schedule changes and to reduce crew scheduling costs. It was designed to work efficiently for both the medium sized problems (300 flights daily) and the very...
