Optimal ordering policies with convertible lead times
A firm receives orders that will be required at an uncertain time given by an Erlang distribution, and over time observes the associated independent exponential events. The firm, in turn, places orders at a linear cost from a supplier with fixed lead time l and has the option of converting (expediting) each order, at a cost, over a certain time interval after the order is originally placed. A c...
متن کاملOptimum preventive maintenance policies for systems subject to random working times, replacement, and minimal repair
This paper proposes, from the economical viewpoint of preventive maintenance in reliability theory, several preventive maintenance policies for an operating system that works for jobs at random times and is imperfectly maintained upon failure. As a failure occurs, the system suffers one of two types of failure based on a specific random mechanism: type-I (repairable) failure is rectified by a m...
متن کاملA Random Walk with Exponential Travel Times
Consider the random walk among N places with N(N - 1)/2 transports. We attach an exponential random variable Xij to each transport between places Pi and Pj and take these random variables mutually independent. If transports are possible or impossible independently with probability p and 1-p, respectively, then we give a lower bound for the distribution function of the smallest path at point log...
متن کاملComparisons of Replacement Policies with Constant and Random Times
This paper proposes random age, periodic and block replacement policies which are made at random variable times, and optimal policies that minimize their expected cost rates are discussed analytically and computed numerically. We compare such random replacements with their standard policies that are made at constant times. Comparison results show that when costs for random and constant replacem...
متن کاملCapacity Expansion with Lead Times and Correlated Random Demand
The combination of uncertain demand and lead times for installing capacity creates the risk of shortage during the lead time, which may have serious consequences for a service provider with dependent customers. This paper analyzes a model of capacity expansion with correlated random demand and a fixed lead time for adding capacity. We develop and prove the form of an optimal policy for expansio...
