In the last decade, several robustness approaches have been developed to deal with uncertainty. In decision problems, and particularly in location problems, the most used robustness approach rely either on maximal cost or on maximal regret criteria. However, it is well known that these criteria are too conservative. In this paper, we present a new robustness approach, called lexicographic α-robustness, which compensates for the drawbacks of criteria based on the worst case. We apply this approach...
While making informed decisions regarding investments in customer retention and acquisition becomes a pressing managerial issue, formal models and analysis, which may provide insight into this topic, are still scarce. In this study we examine two dynamic models for optimal acquisition and retention models of a monopoly, the total cost and the cost per customer models. These models are analytically analyzed using classical, direct, methods and asymptotic expansions (for the total cost model). In...

In this paper we deal with mathematical modeling of real processes that are based on preference relations in the sense that, for every pair of distinct alternatives, the processes are linked to a value of preference degree of one alternative over the other one. The use of preference relations is usual in decision making, psychology, economics, knowledge acquisition techniques for knowledge-based systems, social choice and many other social sciences. For designing useful mathematical models of such...
We are considering a two-stage optimal scheduling problem, which involves two similar projects with the same starting times for workers and the same deadlines for tasks. It is required that the starting times for workers and deadlines for tasks should be optimal for the first-stage project and, under this condition, also for the second-stage project. Optimality is measured with respect to the maximal lateness (or maximal delay) of tasks, which has to be minimized. We represent this problem as a...
La gestión de inventarios de productos perecederos ha atraído desde hace tiempo la atención de los investigadores de Dirección de Operaciones. En este artículo se presenta la modelización e implementación de un sistema de apoyo a la toma de decisiones (DSS) para la gestión de productos perecederos, aplicado a la distribución interhospitalaria de hemoderivados. En estos casos se trata de satisfacer en lo posible las demandas, tratando de evitar a la vez la caducidad de los productos en manos de los...
