Teaching the meaning of manufacturing synchronisation using simple simulation models

Henrique Rodrigues, Luís; Mackness, John Robert - In: International Journal of Operations & Production Management 18 (1998) 3, pp. 246-259

A perfectly synchronised manufacturing system is the process where components arrive at the work centres in time for their production, so that excessive in‐process stocks do not build up causing delays to orders, inventory costs are minimised and customer service is improved by delivering...

Borrowing Constraints, Portfolio Choice, and Precautionary

Haliassos, Michael; Hassapis, Christis - EconWPA - 1998

This paper studies effects of two classes of borrowing constraints, collateral- and income-based, on wealth … accumulation, portfolio behavior and on precautionary motives. We examine the sensitivity of solutions to tightness of constraints …-based constraints but not necessarily for constraints where assets also serve as collateral. The commonly used nonnegativity constraint …

Constrained Markov decision processes with total cost criteria: Lagrangian approach and dual linear program

Altman, Eitan - In: Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 48 (1998) 3, pp. 387-417

The aim of this paper is to investigate the Lagrangian approach and a related Linear Programming (LP) that appear in constrained Markov decision processes (CMDPs) with a countable state space and total expected cost criteria (of which the expected discounted cost is a special case). We consider...
