Recently there has been a flurry of research in the area of production planning for multi-echelon
production-distribution systems with deterministic non-stationary demands and no …

The joint replenishment problem involves the lot sizing of several items with nonstationary
demand in discrete time. The items have individual ordering costs and linear inventory …

We extend the traditional model of the economic lot scheduling problem by considering
various issues associated with the management of the raw materials for production. Several …

A multi—echelon production and/or distribution system involves two or more interrelated
activities. The most common notion is of a distribution system in which products flow from a …

In a multi-echelon assembly system, each production stage has inputs from a number of
preceding stages, and supplies at most one succeeding stage. The product of the final stage is …

In this thesis we study formulations and approximation algorithms for certain classes of multi-echelon
production-distribution systems. Very often such systems use large scale computer …

If the score in a squash game is tied late in the game, one player has a choice of how many
additional points (from a prespecified set of possibilities) are to be played to determine the …

In a multi-echelon assembly system, each production stage has inputs from a number of
preceding stages, and itself supplies at most one succeeding stage. The product of the final …

Discusses the role of interest rate swaps on pricing, valuation and hedging of fixed-income
securities in the US Total return indexes based on swaps introduced by Lehman Brothers Inc. …

Consider a production system producing several items on any of sev-eral identical machines.
Each machine has a finite production capacity. The system operates in discrete time to …
