Robust Storage Assignment in Unit-Load Warehouses

Ang, Marcus; Lim, Yun Fong; Sim, Melvyn - In: Management Science 58 (2012) 11, pp. 2114-2130

Assigning products to and retrieving them from proper storage locations are crucial decisions in minimizing the operating cost of a unit-load warehouse. The problem becomes intractable when the warehouse faces variable supply and uncertain demand in a multiperiod setting. We assume a...

Dynamic Allocation of Airline Check-In Counters: A Queueing Optimization Approach

Parlar, Mahmut; Sharafali, Moosa - In: Management Science 54 (2008) 8, pp. 1410-1424

This paper was motivated by an observation in an international airport with regard to allocation of resources for check-in counters. In an exclusive check-in counter system, each flight has a dedicated number of counters that will be open until at least a half-hour before the scheduled departure...

Virtual Progress: The Effect of Path Characteristics on Perceptions of Progress and Choice

Soman, Dilip; Shi, Mengze - In: Management Science 49 (2003) 9, pp. 1229-1250

In goal--oriented services, consumers want to get transported from one well--defined state (start) to another (destination) state without much concern for intermediate states. A cost--based evaluation of such services should depend on the total cost associated with the service---i.e., the price...

A "Parallel Approach" Path to Estimating Collision Risk During Simultaneous Landings

Barnett, Arnold - In: Management Science 45 (1999) 3, pp. 382-394

Airport capacity could increase if, even during inclement weather, independent landings could occur on parallel runways only about half a mile apart. A key question about such operations is whether the collision risk they entail is acceptably low. Pursuing that issue, we explore a method for...
