One of the major complicating factors in decentralized supply chains is the long procurement/manufacturing lead times, which forces the upstream members to commit resources to production based on forecasted demand. Downstream members (the retailer for the rest of the manuscript) would like to have a higher production quantity to be able to satisfy the demand whereas upstream members (the manufacturer for the rest of the manuscript) would like to have some sort of assurance about the demand so that they will not be building unnecessary capacity. Traditionally, such a conflict is resolved by an initial estimate provided by the retailer. However, the manufacturer is aware that the retailer is likely to manipulate this initial order; hence, the initial estimate provides little incentive for the manufacturer to build the capacity that the retailer would like to have. One resolution offered in the literature to overcome this issue is the Quantity Flexibility contract, where the retailer guarantees to order no less than a certain percentage of the initial estimate and the manufacturer guarantees to deliver a certain percentage above.

Tactical inventory and backorder decisions for systems with predictable production yield MART, Turgut; Duran, Serhan; Bakal, İsmail Serdar (2013-06-01) We consider a manufacturing system with stochastic demand and predictable production yield. The manufacturer has predetermined prices and limited production capacity in each period. The manufacturer also has the option to save some inventory for future periods even if there is demand in the current period. The demand that is not met is lost or may be backordered for only one period. Our objective is to maximize the expected profit by choosing optimal produce-up-to level ((Y) over bar*(t)), save (S*(t)) and ...

Performance of the heuristic procedures for constrained projects with progress payments Sepil, C; Ortac, N (Informa UK Limited, 1997-11-01) All large scale resource constrained projects involve cash flows occurring during their life cycle. Several recent studies consider the problem of scheduling projects to maximise the net present value (NPV) of these cash flows. Their basic common assumption is that cash flows are mainly associated with specific events and they occur at event realisation times. An alternative assumption, which can be more realistic, is that cash inflows occur periodically, for example every month; as progress payments. This ...
Management of bundled tickets in sports and entertainment industry Yakıcı, Ertan; Süral, Haldun; Department of Industrial Engineering (2012) Revenue management techniques can be used in industries where the capacity is limited and perishable, and the market can be segmented. In this work, the sales of event tickets in the sports and entertainment industry is focused, assuming tickets are sold initially as season tickets and as single tickets later in the revenue horizon. Basic decision problems within this context are the determination of optimal time at which the switch from bundled tickets to single tickets should occur and the decision of whi...
Solar energy potentials in strategically located cities in Nigeria: Review, resource assessment and PV system design Okoye, Chiemeka Onyeka; Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth (2016-03-01) Ensuring energy security increasingly requires expanding both yield and resilience of supply through source diversification. In this study, the current energy situation of Nigeria is presented through a detailed literature review. The survey reveals that access to the national grid is limited, and the power delivered to areas classified as urban with grid connection is very unreliable. An initial assessment of the potential utilization of solar based technologies for electricity generation is presented for ...
