Inventory Control with Overtime and Premium Freight
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a manufacturer that must fill stochastic demand. When shortages occur, the manufacturer may choose to meet the unmet demand with overtime production and/or by premium freight shipments. We derive optimal production policies for regular and overtime production and discuss the tradeoffs involved.

Supply Chain Management with Overtime and Premium Freight
We consider a two-stage supply chain under centralized control. The downstream facility faces discrete stochastic demand and passes supply requests to the upstream facility. The upstream facility always meets the supply requests from downstream. If the upstream facility can not meet the supply requests from inventory on hand, the shortage must be filled by either overtime production and/or prem...

We consider a two-stage supply chain under centralized control. The downstream facility faces discrete stochastic demand and passes supply requests to the upstream facility. The upstream facility always meets the supply requests from downstream. If the upstream facility cannot meet the supply requests from inventory on hand, the shortage must be filled by expediting, which will incur per unit a...
متن کاملInventory Control with Generalized Expediting
We consider a single-item, periodic review inventory control problem where discrete stochastic demand must be satisfied. When shortages occur, the unmet demand must be filled by some form of expediting. We allow a very general form for the cost structure of expediting, including the special case of lost sales. Examples of expediting are overtime production, where production is allowed above and...
متن کاملThe Impact of the Overtime Premium on Employment and Hours in U.S. Industry
Excerpt] This paper presents empirical estimates of the intra-industry cross-section relationship between annual overtime hours per man and the ratio of these quasi-fixed costs to the overtime wage rate. Estimates are also made of the impact of a change in the overtime premium on employment and hours; these estimates have implications for policymakers concerned with the wisdom of increasing the...

Wage-Hours Contracts, Overtime Working and Premium Pay This paper offers a contract-based theory to explain the determination of standard hours, overtime hours and overtime premium pay. We expand on the wage contract literature that emphasises the role of firm-specific human capital and that explores problems of contract efficiency in the face of information asymmetries between the firm and the...
