Allocating servers to facilities, when demand is elastic to travel and waiting times

Vladimir Marianov, Miguel Rios, Francisco Javier Barros (2005)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

Public inoculation centers are examples of facilities providing service to customers whose demand is elastic to travel and waiting time. That is, people will not travel too far, or stay in line for too long to obtain the service. The goal, when planning such services, is to maximize the demand they attract, by locating centers and staffing them so as to reduce customers’ travel time and time spent in queue. In the case of inoculation centers, the goal is to maximize the people that travel...

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

Hesham K. Alfares (2014)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

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...
