We study a supply chain with one supplier and many retailers that face exogenous end-customer demands. The supplier and the retailers all try to minimize their own inventory-related costs. In contrast to the retailers’ newsvendor-type ordering behavior (under which retailers may place orders...

We consider a production system where multiple items are produced on a single machine. We study the problem of how to quickly and cheaply recover to an optimal ELSP schedule following a shock that causes the inventory levels to deviate arbitrarily from their optimal paths. We focus on a rotation...

This paper proposes a branch-and-bound algorithm (B&B) for the proactive scheduling problem, which incorporates a degree of anticipation for variability in practical projects. First, the resource-constrained proactive scheduling model is formulated. Second, solving its resource-unconstrained...
