The allocation of shared fixed costs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of sharing the fixed costs of facilities among a number of users. Although the problem can be formulated and solved as an Integer Programme this provides limited accounting information. Ways of overcoming this are suggested. In addition we consider the issue of fairness among different possible cost allocations and how such fair costs may be derived

Allocating Fixed Costs: A Goal Programming Model Based on Data Envelopment Analysis
Today the most organizations (e.g. banks and insurance institutes) consist of the various units which under the control of the main organization (unified management) act independently. Sometimes the manager presents some services which incur costs such as advertisement and introducing a new technology. Most organizations consist of several individual units. Resource allocation issue appe...
متن کاملA Model for Sharing the Costs of Uncontrollable Risks among Contracting Parties
The allocation of risks among the contracting parties in a contract is an important decision affecting the project success. Some risks in a project are uncontrollable; these are imposed to a project by external factors. Since contracting parties can neither control nor affect the occurrence of such risks, their allocation to a party would be inequitable. Therefore the cost overrun related to un...
متن کاملAdaptive policy of buffer allocation and preventive maintenance actions in unreliable production lines
The buffer allocation problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem, and it is an important design problem in manufacturing systems. The research proposed in this paper concerns a product line consisting of n unreliable machines with n − 1 buffers and a preventive maintenance policy. The focus of the research is to obtain a better trade-off between the buffer level ...
متن کاملGenetic Algorithm-Based Optimization Approach for an Uncapacitated Single Allocation P-hub Center Problem with more realistic cost structure
A p-hub center network design problem is definition of some nodes as hubs and allocation of non-hub nodes to them wherein the maximum travel times between any pair of nodes is minimized. The distinctive feature of this study is proposing a new mathematical formulation for modeling costs in a p-hub center problem. Here, instead of considering costs as a linear function of distance, for the first...

In recent years, fair allocation of resources or fixed costs in DEA have been noticed by researches, in which the main objective is unchanging efficiency of decision making units, In which the main purpose is to not change the efficiency of decision-making units before and after the allocation of costs. On the other hand, all studies have been due to the fraction-scale data, and any special att...
