We study a dynamic lead-time quotation problem in a base-stock inventory system characterized by lead-time sensitive Poisson demand and exponentially distributed service times. We show that the optimal profit is unimodal in the base-stock level. We compare the base-stock system with a make-to-order (MTO) system and show that the lead-time quotes are lower in an MTO system and that increasing the base-stock level does not necessarily decrease the expected number of customers waiting. Numerical results show that when customers are less sensitive to lead-time quotes, the benefit of quoting lead times with a higher precision is significant, whereas when customers are more sensitive to lead-time quotes, the benefit of holding inventory is significant.

Dynamic lead time quotation under responsive inventory and multiple customer classes Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Sayin, Ece (2017-01-01) We address the lead time quotation problem of a manufacturer serving multiple customer classes. Customers are sensitive to the quoted lead times and the manufacturer has the flexibility to keep inventory to improve responsiveness. We model the problem as a Markov decision process and characterize the optimal lead time quotation, rationing, and production policies. We then define internal and external service level measures and analyze the impact of inventory keeping decision on these measures. Before analyz...
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...
Cyclic ordering policies from capacitated suppliers under limited cycle time EKİCİ, ALİ; Ozener, Okan Orsan; Duran, Serhan (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-01) In this paper, we study the ordering policy of a manufacturer/retailer which procures a single item from multiple capacitated suppliers and satisfies an exogenous deterministic and constant demand. Manufacturer's objective is to minimize total periodic ordering cost which has three components: (i) fixed ordering cost, (ii) variable purchasing cost, and (iii) inventory holding cost. We are interested in developing a cyclic ordering policy for the manufacturer where the orders are repeated with a certain freq...
Integrated demand and procurement portfolio management with spot market volatility and option contracts Merzifonluoglu, Yasemin (2017-04-01) The newsvendor problem aims to optimally choose a level of order quantity to respond to a known demand distribution with the objective of maximizing expected return. In practice, the decision maker is often challenged with more complex settings involving multiple decisions and uncertainties. For instance, firms may benefit from choosing the set of customer orders to satisfy. It may also be worthwhile for many firms to select a supply portfolio instead of relying on a single procurement mode. This paper prov...
Dynamic weapon-target assignment problem Günsel, Emrah; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) The Weapon-Target Assignment (WTA) problem is a fundamental problem arising in defense-related applications of operations research. Optimizing the WTA is about the selection of the most appropriate weapon for each target in the problem. Basically the aim is to have the maximum effect on targets. Different algorithms; branch and bound (B&B), genetic algorithm (GA), variable neighborhood search (VNS), are used to solve this problem. In this thesis, a more complex version of this problem is defined and adapted...
