Usually, in make-to-order environments which work only in response to the customer’s orders, manufacturers for maximizing the profits should offer the best price and delivery time for an order considering the existing capacity and the customer’s sensitivity to both the factors. In this paper, an integrated approach for pricing, delivery time setting and scheduling of new arrival orders are prop...

mathematical modeling of supply chain operations has proven to be one of the most complex tasks in the field of operations management and operations research. despite the abundance of several modeling proposals in the literature; for vast majority of them, no effective universal application is conceived. this issue renders the proposed mathematical models inapplicable due largely to the fact th...

In reality, not all users require instant video access. People are used to plan things ahead, surely including when to watch desired videos. This fact creates the new video scheduling paradigm, named Scheduled Video Delivery (SVD). It allures clients to make requests as early as possible in order to increase the flexibility of scheduling and resource utilization based on pricing. In this paper,...

This paper develops Order Acceptance for an Integrated Production-Distribution Problem in which Batch Delivery is implemented. The aim of this problem is to coordinate: (1) rejecting some of the orders (2) production scheduling of the accepted orders and (3) batch delivery to maximize Total Net Profit. A Mixed Integer Programming is proposed for the problem. In addition, a hybrid meta-heuristic...

We propose a new high-order alternating direction implicit (ADI) finite difference scheme for the solution of initial-boundary value problems of convection-diffusion type with mixed derivatives and non-constant coefficients, as they arise from stochastic volatility models in option pricing. Our approach combines different high-order spatial discretisations with Hundsdorfer and Verwer’s ADI time...

In this paper, a mixed-integer linear programming model is proposed to integrate batch picking and distribution scheduling problems in order to optimize them simultaneously in an order picking warehouse. A tow-phase heuristic algorithm is presented to solve it in reasonable time. The first phase uses a genetic algorithm to evaluate and select permutations of the given set of customers. The seco...

this paper focuses on formulating capacity-price trade off problem in yield management for manufactur-ing industry by drawing motivation from the remarkable success of yield management (ym) implementation in airlines. in the current practice, there is no alternative and procedure for the manufacturer, as well as cus-tomers to take advantage of using the unfulfilled capacity in discounted offers...

selection of appropriate strategies is one of the important principles to achieve profitability in the business models. one of the most important of these strategies, is use of appropriate pricing strategies in order to have the correct and satisfy product pricing process, the factors that affect pricing should be identify and control. plc as organizational factors affecting group is of the mai...
