Probabilistic characteristics supporting the management of a production-supply system
Journal Title: Operations Research and Decisions - Year 2017, Vol 27, Issue 3
Abstract
The construction of a model and quantitative measures have been presented aimed at improving the efficiency of a production-supply system described by a three-dimensional stochastic process. For this purpose, the laws governing the functioning of the system have been described, corresponding to the three different states of the stock level in the subsystem M. These laws generate the quantitative model of the examined system, which enables the construction of the proposed quantitative measures supporting the managing process of such a system.

Construction of a flexible simulation model of a corporation
The instability of the real structure of a firm is one of the fundamental problems in simulating microeconomic systems. This paper proposes a method, called ACV (abstraction – gradual concretization – verification) for c...
An analysis of maintenance schedules for public facilities
We present a flexible, formal framework for maintenance scheduling for public facilities. Key features of the model include an accelerating deterioration scheme, a general utility measure, and real estate market effects...
Solving linear fractional multilevel programs
The linear fractional multilevel programming (LFMP) problem has been studied and it has been proved that an optimal solution to this problem occurs at a boundary feasible extreme point. Hence the Kth-best algorithm can b...
A control chart using belief information for a gamma distribution
The design of a control chart has been presented using a belief estimator by assuming that the quantitative characteristic of interest follows the gamma distribution. The authors present the structure of the proposed cha...
