Probabilistic-Possibilistic Approach to the Optimal Selection of a Contractor
En este trabajo se analiza un problema planteado recientemente a sus autores por una empresa fabricante de componentes de automóviles. Dicha empresa almacena sus productos manufacturados hasta que los clientes (compradores) pasan a recogerlos. Los clientes solicitan sus productos con una frecuencia conocida. Se trata de determinar, en función de dichas frecuencias, en qué fechas y a qué horas o slots han de pasar los clientes a recoger sus pedidos. Fijado el horizonte temporal objeto de estudio,...
This work aims to fill a lacunae in the project-oriented production systems literature providing a formal analytic description of the rework effects formulae and the determination of the extended design time due to a certain degree of overlapping in a pair of activities. It is made through the utilization of concepts of workflow construction with hidden (semi) Markov models theory and establishing a way to disaggregate activities into sub-activities, in order to determine the activity parameters...
We consider a G-network with Poisson flow of positive customers. Each positive customer entering the network is characterized by a set of stochastic parameters: customer route, the length of customer route, customer volume and his service length at each route stage as well. The following node types are considered: (0) an exponential node with servers, infinite buffer and FIFO discipline; (1) an infinite-server node; (2) a single-server node with infinite buffer and LIFO PR discipline; (3) a single-server...
We consider a G-network with Poisson flow of positive customers. Each positive customer entering the network is characterized by a set of stochastic parameters: customer route, the length of customer route, customer volume and his service length at each route stage as well. The following node types are considered: Negative customers arriving at each node also form a Poisson flow. A negative customer entering a node with k customers in service, with probability 1/k chooses one of served positive customer...
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...
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...
The notion of productivity of activities is introduced, its characterization is given and three special types of return functions are examined.
