Disassembly is the most critical stage of remanufacturing activities. The condition of parts disassembled for reuse/remanufacturing display a high variance. Hence demand for different parts found in a core cannot always be satisfied by a single core. At this point the question is whether or not...

Let Z = {Z(t), t ≥ 0} be a semimartingale reflecting Brownian motion that lives in the three-dimensional non-negative orthant. A 2002 paper by El Kharroubi, Ben Tahar and Yaacoubi gave sufficient conditions for positive recurrence of Z. Recently Bramson, Dai and Harrison have shown that...

We study the inventory management problem of a service center operating in a decentralized service parts network. The service centers collaborate through inventory and service pooling, and through sharing information on the inventory status. Upon demand arrival, a service center may request a...

This paper presents an analytical model, based on finite capacity queueing network theory, to evaluate congestion in protein synthesis networks. These networks are modeled as a set of single server bufferless queues in a tandem topology. This model proposes a detailed state space formulation,...
