Markovian inventory policy with application to the paper industry

This paper concerns problem formulation and solution procedure for inventory planning with Markov decision process models. Using data collected from a large paper manufacturer, we develop inventory policies for the finished products. To incorporate both variability and regularity of the system into mathematical formulation, we analyze probabilistic distribution of the demand, explore its connec...

CARTS 1995 Paper

These electrical simulation programs have grown out of SPICE. SPICE is an acronym that stands for Simulation Program for IC Emulation. This is a tool originally intended to aid in the understanding of the performance of integrated circuits (ICs). Today, SPICE modeling has moved well beyond integrated circuit emulation to full circuit emulation with some packages also allowing for environmental ...

Industry Policy as Innovation Policy

Many innovation policy programs of both national and state governments in Australia are implicitly or explicitly directed at seeking to transform the industrial structure of the economies to which they are applied, so that some types of industries gain prevalence (i.e. grow or create jobs) relative to other types of industry. Queensland’s Smart Queensland: Smart State Strategy 20052015, for exa...

Rheological Issues in the Paper Industry

The paper industry has a number of processes where the rheology is complex and critical to control for trouble free operation. The rheological properties of pulp suspensions and paper coatings are reviewed here. The flow, rheology and other various phenomena are discussed for pulp suspensions. The particle level models that have been developed for pulp suspensions are compared to experimental r...
