Models of vehicle service system supply under information uncertainty

Reliable water supply system design under uncertainty

Given the natural variability and uncertainties in long-term predictions, reliability is a critical design factor for water supply systems. However, the large scale of the problem and the correlated nature of the involved uncertainties result in models that are often intractable. In this paper, we consider a municipal water supply system over a 15-year planning period with initial infrastructur...

Responsive pricing under supply uncertainty

Capacity reservation under supply uncertainty

Shortages of input materials and components used in the production process often adversely influence sales of manufacturing firms. Manufacturers can guarantee delivery of the inputs by initiating capacity reservation arrangements with their suppliers. We study a multi-period capacity reservation contract between a manufacturer and a long-term supplier when there is uncertainty about the quantit...

Elements of Vehicle Routing under uncertainty

This article introduces a new exact algorithm for the Capacitated Vehicle RoutingProblem with Stochastic Demands (CVRPSD). The CVRPSD can be formulated as a SetPartitioning Problem and it is shown that the associated column generation subproblemcan be solved using a dynamic programming scheme. Computational experiments showpromising results.
