Setting inventory levels of CONWIP flow lines via linear programming

Helber, Stefan; Schimmelpfeng, Katja; Stolletz, Raik - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, Leibniz … - 2009

This paper treats the problem of setting the inventory level of closed-loop flow lines operating under the constant-work-in-process (CONWIP) protocol. We solve a huge but simple linear program that models an entire simulation run of a closed-loop flow line in discrete time to determine a...

Integrating small farms in agent based models

Roder, Norbert; Kantelhardt, Jochen - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2009

In German agriculture structural change is mainly a result of the outmigration of smaller farms from the sector. The decisions of these farmers to leave or stay in the sector, are not based solely on financial data and market expectations. Other aspects are important such as the preservation of...

Analysis and optimization regarding the activity of a Hungarian Pig Sales and Purchase Cooperation

Balogh, Peter; Ertsey, Imre; Fenyves, Veronika; Nagy, Lajos - In: Studies in Agricultural Economics (2009) 109

In many ways, the Hungarian pork chain faces considerable disadvantages when compared to the situation in competing countries. In countries endowed with a modern meat chain, heavy concentration is the rule, but in Hungary decentralization still prevails, although thankfully the chain is not...

Linear Programming by Solving Systems of Differential Equations Using Game Theory

Ciuiu, Daniel - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009

In this paper we will solve some linear programming problems by solving systems of differential equations using game … theory. The linear programming problem must be a classical constraints problem or a classical menu problem, i.e. a … right sides) positive. Firstly we will transform the linear programming problem such that the new problem and its dual have …

STRATEGIC costs management at societies group level. Multicriterial model for optimization

Pirvu, Cerasela; Mehedintu, Anca - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009

In our opinion, the performances at group level must be analyzed differently, depending on the adopted strategy. Thus, we consider that a major problem of the accounting and cost control is their compatibility with the strategy. This is justified by the fact that a certain system, that can be an...

A Nonparametric Analysis of the Cournot Model

Quah, John; Carvajal, Andres - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2009

An observer makes a number of observations of an industry producing a homogeneous good. Each observation consists of the market price, the output of individual firms and perhaps information on each firm's production cost. We provide various tests (typically, linear programs) with which the...
