in this paper, the study deals with the lead time and setup reduction problem in the vendor-purchaser integrated inventory model. the cost of capital (i.e., opportunity cost) is one of the key factors in making the inventory and investment decisions. lead time is an important element in any inventory system. the proposed model is presents an integrated inventory model with controllable lead tim...

We solve a rich logistical problem inspired from practice, in which a heterogeneous xed eet of vehicles is used for collecting recyclable waste from large containers over a nite planning horizon. Each container is equipped with a sensor, which communicates its level at the start of the day. Given a history of observations, a forecasting model is used to estimate the point demand forecasts as we...

Research suggests that the size of the second language (L2) vowel inventory relative to the native (L1) inventory may affect the discrimination and acquisition of L2 vowels. Models of non-native and L2 vowel perception stipulate that naïve listeners' non-native and L2 perceptual patterns may be predicted by the relationship in vowel inventory size between the L1 and the L2. Specifically, having...

We study stochastic inventory planning systems with lost sales and censored demand under stationary and non-stationary settings. Contrary to classical inventory theory, we assume that no knowledge of demand is initially available, and lost sales in each period are unobservable. We take a non-parametric approach and propose adaptive inventory policies that generate a sequence of ordering decisio...

purchase or non-purchase of one item or itemset on the purchase or non-purchase of another item or itemset. The research in this paper models for incorporating purchase dependencies in retail multi-item inventory management. One illustrative example has been discussed with data mining in retail sale data. Various types of purchase dependencies including negative dependency have been identified ...

multi-echelon inventory systems are one of the most important and attractive areas in modelling supply chain management so that several researches and studies have been done about. in this paper, the total cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with central warehouse and many identical retailers controlled by continuous review inventory policy is estimated. we have assumed the demand i...
