Minimizing Total Calibration Cost
Bender et al. (SPAA 2013) have proposed a theoretical framework for testing in contexts where safety mistakes must be avoided. Testing in such a context is made by machines that need to be often calibrated. Given that calibration costs, it is important to study policies minimizing the calibration cost while performing all the necessary tests. We focus on the single-machine setting and we extend...
متن کاملCost-minimizing risk adjustment.
Conventional risk adjustment, which sets capitation payments equal to the average cost of individuals with similar observable characteristics, is not optimal if health plans can use private information to select low-cost enrollees. "Cost-minimizing risk adjustment" minimizes the sum of capitated HMO premiums plus FFS costs by balancing the gains from HMO cost efficiency against the overpayments...
متن کاملMarkets, budgets, and health care cost control.
Health care cost control is often debated in terms of markets versus bureaucracies. Market restraints are limited in practice by the goal of providing access to care. Therefore, effective cost control requires budgeting. Experience from budgeting for other services should put health care cost control in perspective: The goal should not be rational and efficient allocations, merely better ones. ...

Nowadays, most manufacturing firms employ this type of line due to the increasing varieties of products in their attempts to quickly respond to diversified customer demands. Advancement of new technologies, competitiveness, diversification of products, and large customer ...
متن کاملMinimizing the supplying cost of leverage items: a mathematical approach
In the new competitive environment, selecting and planning of the supply chain is very crucial and involves evaluation of many factors. Different approaches have been applied to assess the supplier/s. Most of these studies are based upon the supplier/s' capabilities. It may be neither rational nor economical to deal with each item via a generic material control system. Furthermore, supplier...
