Abstract: The main idea of this paper is to evaluate supply processes at a Fair Trade (FT) manifestation in Novi Sad. To successfully organize such a manifestation detailed preparation plan and transparent exhibitors’ arrival schedule are required. In our case, exhibitors’ arrivals are random, which may result with long queues and bottlenecks. Simulation model is created in MATLAB to evaluate w...

The present work deals with the supply chain problems related to perishable products. The EOQ model has been used to analyze the data collected and suggest a ordering policy that will minimize the loses and maximize the organizational value. The work provides a suggestion for managers to take decision regarding use of self space and reordering of items depending on the inventory usage.

This article reviews the literatures of revenue management and introduces the status of traditional research about perishable products in this field. We analyze revenue management considering strategic customer behavior and the related researches about dynamic pricing, finally we discuss the existing problems and suggest several future research directions.

We formulate the multiperiod, distribution-free perishable inventory problem as a problem of prediction with expert advice and apply an online learning method (the Weak Aggregating Algorithm) to solve it. We show that the asymptotic average performance of this method is as good as that of any time-dependent stocking rule in a given parametric class.

We show that the monotone structures of dynamic pricing for a single perishable product under riskneutrality are preserved under risk-sensitivitywith the additive general utility and atemporal exponential utility functions. We also show that the optimal price is decreasing over the degree of risk-sensitivity under the exponential class of both additive and atemporal utility functions. © 2009 El...

In the production of perishable goods particular stress is often given to performance indi cators generally less critical in such manufacturing settings as metal cutting or mechan ical electronic assembly For instance in food or biochemical productions a prominent interest of the producer is to reduce the time from distribution to the so called best before end A scheduling problem with a goal o...

We consider the problem of minimizing the makespan in a flowshop involving maximal and minimal time lags, denoted by Fm|θ, θ|Cmax. Time lag constraints generalize the classical precedence constraints between operations: minimal (respectively maximal) time lags indeed specify that the time elapsed between two operations must be lower(respectively upper-) bounded. We assume that such constraints ...

diastolic phase of cardiac function is associated with lower arterial flow and hence higher concentration of intra arterially injected drug is achieved at the site of injection. it is herein postulated that drugs show higher efficacy when injected during the diastolic phase of cardiac function. it is also postulated that this benefit cannot be achieved when the drug is injected with higher rate...
