This study is on the service models for dynamic scheduling of multi-class make-to-stock systems. An exponential single-server facility processes different types of items one by one and demand arrivals for different item types occur according to independent Poisson processes. Inventories of the items are managed by base-stock policies and backordering is allowed. The objective is to minimize base-stock investments or average inventory holding costs subject to a constraint on the aggregate fill rate, which is a weighted average of the fill rates of the item types. The base-stock controlled policy that maximizes aggregate fill rate is numerically investigated, for both symmetric and asymmetric systems, and is shown to be optimal for minimizing base-stock investments under an aggregate fill rate constraint. Alternative policies are generated by heuristics in order to approximate the policy that maximizes aggregate fill rate and performances of these policies are compared to those of two well-known Longest Queue and First Come First Served policies. Also, optimal policy for the service model to minimize average inventory holding cost subject to an aggregate fill rate constraint is investigated without restricting the attention to only base-stock controlled dynamic scheduling policies. Based on the equivalence relations between this service model and the corresponding cost model, it is observed that the base-stock controlled policy that maximizes aggregate fill rate is almost the same as the solution to the service model and cost model under consideration, especially when backorder penalties are large in the cost model as compared to cost parameters for inventory holding or equivalently when the target fill rate is large in the service model.

Managing production and lead time quotation with multiple demand classes Sayın, Ece; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010) In this study, we investigate several facets of a due-date quotation problem and develop a model considering jointly due-date quotation, order acceptance and base-stock decisions in a hybrid make-to-stock (MTS) / make-to-order (MTO) and multi-class system with lead time sensitive Poisson demand and exponentially distributed service times. We seek to maximize profit considering lateness penalties and holding costs in the model. We consider three alternative due-date quotation policies each having different p...
Controlling high quality manufacturing processes: a robustness study of the lower-sided tbe ewma procedure Pehlivan, Canan; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2008) In quality control applications, Time-Between-Events (TBE) type observations may be monitored by using Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) control charts. A widely accepted model for the TBE processes is the exponential distribution, and hence TBE EWMA charts are designed under this assumption. Nevertheless, practical applications do not always conform to the theory and it is common that the observations do not fit the exponential model. Therefore, control charts that are robust to departures from ...
A probabilistic approach to multi criteria sorting problem Buğdacı, Aslı Gül; Köksalan, Murat; Department of Industrial Engineering (2009) We aim to classify alternatives evaluated in multiple criteria among preference ordered classes assuming an underlying additive utility function. We develop a probabilistic classification method by calculating the probability of an alternative being in each class. We assign alternatives to classes based on threshold probabilities. We require the decision maker to place an alternative to a class when no alternatives satisfy the required thresholds. We find new probabilities for unassigned alternatives in the...
Hybrid ranking approaches based on data envelopment analysis and outranking relations Eryılmaz, Utkan; Karasakal, Esra; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006) In this study two different hybrid ranking approaches based on data envelopment analysis and outranking relations for ranking alternatives are proposed. Outranking relations are widely used in Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) for ranking the alternatives and appropriate in situations when we have limited information on the preference structure of the decision maker. Yet to apply these methods DM should provide exact values for method parameters (weights, thresholds etc.) as well as basic information suc...
Interval priority weight generation from interval comparison matrices in analytic hierarchy process Öztürk, Ufuk; Karasakal, Esra; Department of Industrial Engineering (2009) In this study, for the well-known Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method a new approach to interval priority weight generation from interval comparison matrix is proposed. This method can be used for both inconsistent and consistent matrices. Also for the problems having more than two hierarchical levels a synthesizing heuristic is presented. The performances of the methods, interval generation and synthesizing, are compared with the methods that are already available in the literature on randomly generate...
