In this paper, we study the constrained circular cutting problem whose objective is to cut a set of circular pieces into a rectangular plate R of dimensions L × W. Each piece's type i, i = 1, …, m is caracterized by its radius r(i) and its demand b(i). This problem is solved using an adaptive...

This paper considers the coordination of pricing and scheduling decisions in a make-to-order environment. Following common industry practice, we assume knowledge of a deterministic demand function that is nonincreasing in price. We consider three alternative measures of scheduling cost: total...
