Biomass conversion processes have the potential for satisfying approximately 25% of the national demand for methane gas. At the present time, very little analytical work has been done to optimally design and operate the production facilities associated with these processes. This study was...

This paper considers the optimal control of a production system which is composed of two distinct production processes, types A and B, that produce two different products, 1 and 2, having distinct random demands. Production type A produces both products in amounts determined by a fixed set of...

Service processes, such as consulting, require coordinated efforts from the service recipient (client) and the service provider in order to deliver the desired output – a process known as resource integration. Client involvement directly affects the efficiency of service processes, thereby...

This paper presents a conceptual model of client epistemology and decision making in service engagements through the use of fuzzy variables and fuzzy relations, and it proposes a fuzzy system as a general mechanism for service innovation. A fuzzy systems approach to modeling service processes is...

We examine a single-item, periodic-review inventory system with stochastic leadtimes, in which a replenishment order is delivered immediately or one period later, depending probabilistically on costly effort. The objective is to determine a joint inventory policy and effort-choice strategy that...
