Organizational Nimbleness and Operational Policies: The Case of Optimal Control of Maintenance Under Uncertainty ALI DOGRAMACI and SURESH SETHI Abstract The speed with which an organization takes action against unplanned failure and scrapping of its capital equipment is used as a measure of organizational nimbleness. Operational decisions at the plant level are studied in the setting of the optimal control model of Kamien and Schwarz for maintenance policy. In this context it is shown how the form of optimal policies at the lower operational levels change, as the degree of nimbleness in decision making at higher echelons of the organization increases.

متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Variations in Irrigation Water Price on Cropping Pattern and Gross Margin under Uncertainty (Case Study: Khorasan Razavi)
Water shortage crisis is an issue that has led to drastic changes in different agricultural policies, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. Uncertainty in the amount of resources, e.g. water, used for agricultural production entails risk for farmers' income and cropping pattern changes. In the present study, the robust optimization model was used for optimal allocation of arable lands of Khor...

In this paper, a single-product, single-machine system under Markovian deterioration of machine condition and demand uncertainty is studied. The objective is to find the optimal intervals for inspection and preventive maintenance activities in a condition-based maintenance planning with discrete monitoring framework. At first, a stochastic dynamic programming model whose state variable is the ...
