This paper describes a backtracking algorithm for the enumeration of nonisomorphic minimally nonideal (n ×n) matrices that are not degenerate projective planes. The application of this algorithm forn ≤ 12 yielded 20 such matrices, adding 5 matrices to the 15 previously known. For greater...

Foreign investment decisions by multinational enterprises are usually arrived by considering not just the firm-specific factors, but location-specific factors are also of paramount importance. Using three supply factors specific to a country – supply environment, supply infrastructure,...

This study investigates multiperiod service level (MSL) policies in supply chains facing a stochastic customer demand. The objective of the supply chains is to construct integrated replenishment plans that satisfy strict stockout-oriented performance measures which apply across a multiperiod...
