Warranties are very widespread and serve many purposes, including protection for producer, seller, and consumer. They are used as signals of quality and as elements of marketing strategies. In this study we review t...
متن کاملA software environment for simultaneous dynamic optimization
We describe a software environment for dynamic optimization using the simultaneous approach. Over the past few years, there has been significant evelopment in the formulation of simultaneous dynamic optimization problems, using collocation on finite elements, and in the solution of the esulting large-scale nonlinear programming problem, using powerful barrier NLP solvers. Here we describe the b...
متن کاملOutsourcing Warranty Repairs: Dynamic Allocation
In this paper we consider the problem of minimizing the costs of outsourcing warranty repairs when failed items are dynamically routed to one of several service vendors. In our model, the manufacturer incurs a repair cost each time an item needs repair and also incurs a goodwill cost while an item is awaiting and undergoing repair. For a large manufacturer with annual warranty costs in the tens...
متن کاملA Dynamic Optimization Algorithm for Task Scheduling in Cloud Environment
Cloud computing has emerged as a popular computing model to support on demand services. It is a style of computing where massively scalable resources are delivered as a service to external customers using Internet technologies. Scheduling in cloud is responsible for selection of best suitable resources for task execution, by taking some static and dynamic parameters and restrictions of tasks’ i...
متن کاملDynamic Routing of Prioritized Warranty Repairs
Recent years have seen a strong trend toward outsourcing warranty repair services to outside vendors. In this paper we consider the problem of dynamically routing warranty repairs to service vendors when warranties have priority levels. Each time an item under warranty fails, it is sent to one of many service vendors for repair. Items covered by higher priority warranty receive higher priority ...
