We analyse the implications of order timing decisions in multi-retailer supply systems in a single period, newsvendor setting. Specifically, we investigate a supply chain with multiple retailers and a single supplier where one of the retailers is considered a preferred or primary customer of the supplier. In the base model (delayed commitment), customers order after observing demand and the supplier rations its production quantity to retailers according to a generalised uniform allocation rule. In the early-commitment model, the primary retailer commits to an order quantity prior to the selling season and receives her order in full. We compare the expected supplier and retailer profits under each of these strategies and specify conditions under which a particular commitment scheme benefits the supplier, the primary retailer, and the entire system. Our findings indicate that the supplier prefers early commitment under mild conditions, whereas the primary retailer's preference depends on the tradeoff between the supply risk and demand risk. We also compare our findings with a single-retailer system, and observe that both the supplier and the primary retailer benefit from the existence of additional customers under delayed-commitment in many contexts.

An exact solution method and a genetic algorithm-based approach for the unit commitment problem in conventional power generation systems
Karabaş, Tolga; Meral, Fatma Sedef (2023-02-01)
The unit commitment problem (UCP) is one of the fundamental problems in power systems planning and operations that comprises two decisions: commitment and dispatching of conventional generating units. The objective is to minimize total operating costs -fuel and start-up costs- while satisfying several operational and technical constraints. The UCP is characterized as a highly constrained mixed-integer nonlinear NP-hard problem, which makes it difficult to develop a rigorous optimization method for real-size...
ON ROBUSTNESS OF CONCURRENT LEARNING ADAPTIVE CONTROL TO TIME-VARYING DISTURBANCES AND SYSTEM UNCERTAINTIES
Sarsilmaz, S. Burak; Kutay, Ali Türker; Yucelen, Tansel (2017-11-09)
In this paper, we study the robustness characteristics of a recently developed concurrent learning model reference adaptive control approach to time-varying disturbances and system uncertainties. Specifically, the commonly-used constant (or slowly time-varying) assumption on disturbances and system uncertainties for this particular adaptive control approach is replaced with its bounded counterpart with piecewise continuous and bounded derivatives. Based on the Lyapunov's direct method, we then show that the...
A solution methodology for the unit commitment problem in traditional-and-wind integrated hybrid power systems under supply/demand uncertainty and emission limitations
Karabaş, Tolga; Meral, Fatma Sedef; Department of Industrial Engineering (2020-9)
Unit commitment problem (UCP) is one of the essential problems in operations planning of power generation systems. The objective is to minimize total operating cost while meeting the forecasted load requirements and satisfying several operational and technical constraints. Nevertheless, the UCP is a mixed integer, non-linear, combinatorial and NP-hard problem, making it difficult to develop any rigorous optimization method for a real-size system. In this thesis, we address two variants of the UCP: (1) the d...
Rescheduling with controllable processing times for number of disrupted jobs and manufacturing cost objectives
Gürel, Sinan (2015-05-03)
We consider a machine rescheduling problem that arises when a disruption such as machine breakdown occurs to a given schedule. Machine unavailability due to a breakdown requires repairing the schedule as the original schedule becomes infeasible. When repairing a disrupted schedule a desirable goal is to complete each disrupted job on time, i.e. not later than the planned completion time in the original schedule. We consider the case where processing times of jobs are controllable and compressing the process...
Approximate queueing models for capacitated multi-stage inventory systems under base-stock control
Avşar, Zeynep Müge (Elsevier BV, 2014-07-01)
A queueing analysis is presented for base-stock controlled multi-stage production-inventory systems with capacity constraints. The exact queueing model is approximated by replacing some state-dependent conditional probabilities (that are used to express the transition rates) by constants. Two recursive algorithms (each with several variants) are developed for analysis of the steady-state performance. It is analytically shown that one of these algorithms is equivalent to the existing approximations given in ...
