Network location problems occur when new facilities are to be located on a network. The network of interest may be a road network, an air transport network, a river network, or a network of shipping lanes. For a given network location problem, the new facilities are often idealized as points,...

This paper considers the production-transportation problem of a firm with a finite number of production (supply) facilities of known location, facing demand distributed over a subset (market region) of K-dimensional Euclidean space. The demand for a single good is described by a demand density...

This paper considers a production-scheduling problem arising when there are random yields and demands as well as two sequential production periods before demand occurs. A typical instance is the production of seed corn. The paper makes three contributions. First, we verify that the objective...

A regular feature of Manufacturing & Service Operation Management, ÜIn This IssueÝ briefly describes each issue's articles and highlights their contributions.

The supply chain in the food and agribusiness sector is characterized by long supply lead times combined with significant supply and demand uncertainties, and relatively thin margins. These challenges generate a need for management efficiency and the use of modern decision technology tools. We...
