We present a study of the following warehouse view-selection problem: Given a frequency distribution on parameterized aggregate queries on a data warehouse, return definitions of aggregate views that, when materialized in the warehouse, would minimize the evaluation costs of the frequent queries, subject to a storage limit constraint. Optimizing the layout of stored data using view selection ha...

This study is an extension of the Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) that takes into accounts the warehouse-space restrictions in a distribution center. The focus of this study is to determine the lot sizes of each product under power-of-two policy to minimize the total costs per unit time and to generate a feasible replenishment schedule of multiple products without exceeding the available war...

We consider a periodic-review inventory system with one warehouse and N non-identical retailers. Each location has a positive lead time and orders according to a base-stock policy in fixed time interval. A fixed cost is incurred for each inventory reorder. The warehouse fills the retailers’ orders in the same sequence as the original demand. The objective is to minimize the long-run average sys...

The article considers the regulatory documents governing rules and regulations for design of commercial ports terminals. It has been shown that logic creating current standards does not meet modern requirements terminals, since concept a standard time margin is disclosed in documents, its relation with uniform operation railway transport, which depend on approach ships or irregular navigation, ...

A data warehouse stores information that is collected from multiple, heterogeneous information sources for the purpose of complex querying and analysis. Information in the warehouse is typically stored in the form of materialized views. One of the most important tasks when designing a warehouse is the selection of materialized views to be maintained in the warehouse. The goal is to select a set...

A data warehouse stores information that is collected from multiple, heterogeneous information sources for the purpose of complex querying and analysis. Information in the warehouse is typically stored in the form of materialized views, which represent pre-computed portions of frequently asked queries. One of the most important tasks when designing a warehouse is the selection of materialized v...

The Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model is often used in the manufacturing sector to assist firms in determining the optimal production lot size that minimizes overall production-inventory costs. There are some assumptions in the EPQ model that restrict this model for real-world applications. Some of these assumptions are (1) infinite space of warehouse, (2) all of the pr...

We study a two-echelon supply chain with one warehouse and N (nonidentical) retailers facing stochastic demand. An easy-to-implement inventory policy, the so-called power-of-two (POT) policy, is proposed to manage inventory for the system. To maintain a certain service level, safety stocks are kept at the warehouse and each retailer outlet to buffer random demand. Our analysis highlights the im...
