On the Transition Matrix of the Flow Mechanism in a Multi-Echelon Educational System

چکیده
This paper is concerned with deriving, using logistic and Markov chain theoretic methodologies, a transition matrix for a multi-echelon educational system. The explanatory variables of the logistic model are the school differential variables, and the transition matrix of the Markov chain is the non-homogeneous empirical transition matrix (NHETM). We compare the NHETM with the periodically updated transition matrix suggested in literature using data in a university setting. The results indicate that the NHETM do not violate the flow mechanism of the academic programme and that the higherorder NHETM is not a sparse matrix.

On Two-Echelon Multi-Server Queue with Balking and Limited Intermediate Buffer
In this paper we study two echelon multi-server tandom queueing systems where customers arrive according to a poisson process with two different rates. The service rates at both echelons are independent of each other. The service times of customers is assumed to be completed in two stages. The service times at each stage are exponentially distributed. At the first stage, the customers may balk ...
متن کاملThe Exact Solution of Min-Time Optimal Control Problem in Constrained LTI Systems: A State Transition Matrix Approach
In this paper, the min-time optimal control problem is mainly investigated in the linear time invariant (LTI) continuous-time control system with a constrained input. A high order dynamical LTI system is firstly considered for this purpose. Then the Pontryagin principle and some necessary optimality conditions have been simultaneously used to solve the optimal control problem. These optimality ...
متن کاملEstimation of the cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with lost sales using regression
Multi-echelon inventory systems are one of the most important and attractive areas in modelling supply chain management so that several researches and studies have been done about. In this paper, the total cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with central warehouse and many identical retailers controlled by continuous review inventory policy is estimated. We have assumed the demand i...
متن کاملComparing Two-Echelon and Single-Echelon Multi-Objective Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems
This paper aims to compare a two-echelon and a single-echelon distribution system. A mathematical model for the Single-Echelon Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (SE-CVRP) is proposed. This SE-CVRP is the counterpart of Two-Echelon Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (2E-CVRP) introduced in the authors’ previous work. The proposed mathematical model is Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming (MIN...
متن کاملA multi-objective integrated production-allocation and distribution planning problem of a multi-echelon supply chain network: two parameter-tuned meta-heuristic algorithms
Supply chain management (SCM) is a subject that has found so much attention among different commercial and industrial organizations due to competing environment of products. Therefore, integration of constituent element of this chain is a great deal. This paper proposes a multi objective production-allocation and distribution planning problem (PADPP) in a multi echelon supply chain network. We ...
