We study the inventory management problem of a service center operating in a decentralized service parts network. The service centers collaborate through inventory and service pooling, and through sharing information on the inventory status. Upon demand arrival, a service center may request a part from the other center, in which case a payment is made. Under this competitive and collaborative environment, we first characterize the optimal operating policy of an individual service center. Through computational analysis we identify the conditions under which pooling is most beneficial to the service center, and make an assessment of different pooling strategies which are commonly adopted in practice and in the literature. Finally, we analyze the effect of interaction between the centers on the benefit of pooling.

An analysis of benefits of inventory and service pooling and information sharing in spare parts management systems Satır, Benhür; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Serin, Yaşar Yasemin; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010) Inventory management and production control problem of a dealer operating in a decentralized spare parts network is analyzed in this dissertation. Spare parts network is assumed to be formed of two dealers and the problem of a dealer is considered under the assumption that the other dealer has a known policy. These dealers collaborate through inventory and service pooling. Furthermore, the dealers collaborate through sharing information on the net inventory status. Upon demand arrival, a dealer may request ...
Off-the-Shelf Connectors for Interdisciplinary Components Kaya, Muhammed Çağrı; Çetinkaya, Anıl; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2018-01-01) Introduction: Solutions based on software components, especially for heterogeneous constituents such as those pertaining to different disciplines suffer the interoperability burden. Adaptor technologies have been introduced before, as a potential remedy and utilized here through implementing them in component connectors.
Management tool support for software aquisition and information systems outsourcing projects for Turkish land forces command Pınar, Adem; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2004) This thesis reviews the software acquisition models and management tools used for managing, tracking and planning the acquisition projects all around the world. Then the requirements of Turkish Land Forces Command (TLFC) for a project management tool are considered. Features of a project management tool that is suitable for TLFC are determined through the ideas of TLFC personnel of IS department. After evaluation of selected tools through the requirements of TLFC the best one is presented. Then an interface...

Data integration over horizontally partitioned databases in service-oriented data grids Sunercan, Hatice Kevser Sönmez; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Alpdemir, Mahmut Nedim; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Information integration over distributed and heterogeneous resources has been challenging in many terms: coping with various kinds of heterogeneity including data model, platform, access interfaces; coping with various forms of data distribution and maintenance policies, scalability, performance, security and trust, reliability and resilience, legal issues etc. It is obvious that each of these dimensions deserves a separate thread of research efforts. One particular challenge among the ones listed above tha...
