Breaking the trade-off between efficiency and service.
For manufacturers, customers are the open wallets at the end of the supply chain. But for most service businesses, they are key inputs to the production process. Customers introduce tremendous variability to that process, but they also complain about any lack of consistency and don't care about the company's profit agenda. Managing customer-introduced variability, the author argues, is a centra...
متن کاملApplication of a location model to fire stations in Rotterdam
This report is an outgrowth of a research project carried out by the Operations Research Group of Twente University of Technology in cooperation with the Department Fire-Brigade Affairs (Home Office) and the Rotterdam l-ire Department. The objectives of the project were to determine the minimal number of fire stations, their locations and the number of first attendance pumpers, so that each poi...
متن کاملThe Ordered Capacitated Multi-Objective Location-Allocation Problem for Fire Stations Using Spatial Optimization
Determining the positions of facilities, and allocating demands to them, is a vitally important problem. Location-allocation problems are optimization NP-hard procedures. This article evaluates the ordered capacitated multi-objective location-allocation problem for fire stations, using simulated annealing and a genetic algorithm, with goals such as minimizing the distance and time as well as ma...
متن کاملThe Trade-Off between Accuracy and Accessibility of Syphilis Screening Assays
The availability of rapid and sensitive methods to diagnose syphilis facilitates screening of pregnant women, which is one of the most cost-effective health interventions available. We have evaluated two screening methods in Tanzania: an enzyme immunoassay (EIA), and a point-of-care test (POCT). We evaluated the performance of each test against the Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assa...
متن کاملAn Empirical Investigation of the Trade-Off between Consistency and Coverage in Rule Learning Heuristics
In this paper, we argue that search heuristics for inductive rule learning algorithms typically trade off consistency and coverage, and we investigate this trade-off by determining optimal parameter settings for five different parametrized heuristics. This empirical comparison yields several interesting results. Of considerable practical importance are the default values that we establish for t...
