Allocating Pooled Inventory According to Contributions and Entitlements
Journal Title: Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Inventory pooling, whether by centralization of stock or by mutual assistance, is known to be beneficial when demands are uncertain. But when the retailers are independent, the question is how to divide the benefits of pooling. We consider a decentralized inventory pooling scheme where retailers' entitlements to allocation in case of shortage depend on their contributions to the pool. We derive the Nash equilibrium, and specialize it to symmetric cases.

Separating I/O from Application Logic for Rule-Based Control Systems
One of the main reasons of using a rule-based approach to program control systems is that they can be formally verified. For such systems communication with the environment is often encoded within the knowledge base. Suc...
Extended Model Formulation of the Proportional Lot-Sizing and Scheduling Problem with Lost Demand Costs
We consider mixed-integer linear programming (MIP) models of production planning problems known as the small bucket lot-sizing and scheduling problems. We present an application of a class of valid inequalities to the ca...
