A theoretical model for testing new product sales velocity at small format retail stores

Hiroaki Sandoh, Roy Larke (2002)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

The present study proposes a theoretical model to test sales velocity for new products introduced in small format retail stores. The model is designed to distinguish fast moving products within a relatively short period. Under the proposed model, the sales of a newly introduced product are monitored for a prespecified period T , e.g., one week, and if the number of items sold over T is equal to a prespecified integer k or more, the product is considered a fast moving product and is carried over to...

A thermodynamically motivated optimization algorithm: Circular wheel balance optimization

Jozef Masarik (1985)

Aplikace matematiky

The author investigates a Monte Carlo algorithm for finding suboptimal solutions for a wide clase of complicated optimization problems characterized by a large combinatorial complexity. This algorithm was applied to one specific problem: circular wheel balance optimization. The slow increase of the effort along with the increasing size of the problems and the generality of the method promise that the thermodynamically motivated optimization will become a very universal and effective optimization...

A threshold accepting approach to the open vehicle routing problem

Christos D. Tarantilis, George Ioannou, Chris T. Kiranoudis, Gregory P. Prastacos (2004)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

In this paper we consider the operational planning problem of physical distribution via a fleet of hired vehicles, for which the travelling cost is solely a function of the sequence of locations visited within all open delivery routes, while vehicle fixed cost is inexistent. The problem is a special class of vehicle routing and is encountered in the literature as the Open Vehicle Routing Problem (OVRP), since vehicles are not required to return to the depot. The goal is to distribute in an optimal...

A time-dependent best choice problem with costs and random lifetime in organ transplants

Anna Krasnosielska (2010)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper develops and analyzes a time-dependent optimal stopping problem and its application to the decision making process concerning organ transplants. Offers (organs for transplant) appear at jump times of a Poisson process. The values of the offers are i.i.d. random variables with a known distribution function. These values express the degree of histocompatibility between the donor and the recipient. The sequence of offers is independent of the jump times of the Poisson process. The decision...

A topology over a set of systems

Gaspar Martínez Mora (1996)

Revista de la Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas Físicas y Naturales

The systems of an arbitrary number of linear inequalities OVer a real locally convex space have been classified in three classes, namely: consistent, weakly inconsistent and strongly inconsistent, i.e. having ordinary solutions, weak solutions or notsolutions respectively. In this paper, the third type is divided in two classes: strict-strongly and quasi-strongly inconsistent and is given a topology over a quotient space of the set of systems over finite- dimensional spaces, that yields a set of...

A two-stage stochastic optimization model for a gas sale retailer

F. Maggioni, Maria Teresa Vespucci, E. Allevi, Marida Bertocchi, M. Innorta (2008)

Kybernetika

The paper deals with a new stochastic optimization model, named OMoGaS–SV (Optimization Modelling for Gas Seller–Stochastic Version), to assist companies dealing with gas retail commercialization. Stochasticity is due to the dependence of consumptions on temperature uncertainty. Due to nonlinearities present in the objective function, the model can be classified as an NLP mixed integer model, with the profit function depending on the number of contracts with the final consumers, the typology of...
