Production planning in data envelopment analysis without explicit inputs

Alireza Amirteimoori, Behrooz Daneshian, Sohrab Kordrostami, Kambiz Shahroodi (2013)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

In the performance measurement using tools such as data envelopment analysis (DEA), data without explicit inputs has attracted considerable attention among researchers. In such studies the problem of production planning in the next production season is an important and interesting subject. Because of the uncertain nature of the future, decision makers need to provide robust procedures in order to examine alternative courses of action and their implications. The purpose of this paper is to develop...

Production-inventory system with finite production rate, stock-dependent demand, and variable holding cost

Hesham K. Alfares (2014)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

In general, traditional production-inventory systems are based on a number of simplifying – but somewhat unrealistic – assumptions, including constant demand rate, constant holding cost, and instantaneous order replenishment. These assumptions have been individually challenged in numerous variations of production-inventory models. Finite production rate models, such as economic production quantity (EPQ) systems consider gradual order replenishment. Stock-dependent demand models assume the demand...

Prognosis and optimization of homogeneous Markov message handling networks

Pavel Boček, Tomáš Feglar, Martin Janžura, Igor Vajda (2001)

Kybernetika

Message handling systems with finitely many servers are mathematically described as homogeneous Markov networks. For hierarchic networks is found a recursive algorithm evaluating after finitely many steps all steady state parameters. Applications to optimization of the system design and management are discussed, as well as a program product 5P (Program for Prognosis of Performance Parameters and Problems) based on the presented theoretical conclusions. The theoretic achievements as well as the practical...

Projection method with level control in convex minimization

Robert Dylewski (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

We study a projection method with level control for nonsmoooth convex minimization problems. We introduce a changeable level parameter to level control. The level estimates the minimal value of the objective function and is updated in each iteration. We analyse the convergence and estimate the efficiency of this method.
