This paper describes an employee scheduling system for retail outlets; it is a constraint-based system that exploits forecasts and stochastic techniques to generate schedules meeting the demand for sales personnel. Uncertain scenarios due to fluctuating demand are taken into account to develop a...

The problem of comparing random vectors arises in many applications. We propose three new concepts of stochastically weighted dominance for comparing random vectors X and Y. The main idea is to use a random vector V to scalarize X and Y as VTX and VTY, and subsequently use available concepts...

In this paper, a multi-period supply chain network design problem is addressed. Several aspects of practical relevance are considered such as those related with the financial decisions that must be accounted for by a company managing a supply chain. The decisions to be made comprise the location...

We study a class of mixed-integer programs for solving linear programs with joint probabilistic constraints from random right-hand side vectors with finite distributions. We present greedy and dual heuristic algorithms that construct and solve a sequence of linear programs. We provide optimality...

FD algorithm for SMIP and establish finite convergence for binary first-stage. Second, we derive FD cuts based on the … including the first-stage variables. We then devise an alternative algorithm (FD-L algorithm) based on the lifted FD cuts … algorithms can outperform a standard direct solver and a disjunctive decomposition algorithm on large-scale instances …
