In this paper, we propose a new comprehensive decision-making structure for the order entry stage in make-to-order (MTO) environments. The aim of the proposed structure is to manage the arriving orders so that the MTO system just proceeds to produce those arriving orders which are feasible and profitable for the system. The appropriate decisions on the arriving orders are taken based on two cri...

Newark, New Jersey, is disproportionally affected by HIV with one of the highest prevalence rates in the United States. Rutgers New Jersey Medical School is a major healthcare provider to Newark's underserved population and has implemented a HIV testing program that can diagnose and link newly diagnosed individuals to care. We conducted a retrospective chart review of all new patients seen in t...

We studied the ability to reduce supply–demand mismatch of a periodic Make-to-Order (MTO) production system using safety stocks with marketing managing demand lead-time guarantee and price as levers. The aim is understand interdependencies between guarantee, price, stocks. modeled problem an unconstrained stochastic non-linear programming problem, maximizing expected profit per-unit time obtain...

Industrie-4.0-Konzepte sind inzwischen in zahlreichen Unternehmen angekommen. Neben den vorrangigen Themen wie Digitalisierung und vernetzten Systemen kommt der Automatisierung nach vor eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Die Einbindung von Softwarerobotern sowie Indoor-Lokalisierungssystemen kann dabei die Effizienz Geschäftsprozessen massiv beeinflussen. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist Entwicklung Umsetzung...

Capacity coordination, as the tactical level of hierarchical production planning in hybrid MTS/MTO systems, includes numerous important decisions. In this paper, two of these decisions i.e. finding the best strategy for the acceptance/rejection of incoming orders and determining orders’ due dates – are investigated. Also a simulation model is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of the presented...
