Testing and comparison of integer programming algorithms is an integral part of the algorithm development process. When test problems are randomly generated, the techniques of statistical experimental design can provide a basis around which to structure computational experiments. This paper...

As part of a recent national study of intensive and special adult probation projects (i.e., innovative probation efforts that seek either to achieve a substantial reduction in caseload or to offer unique probation services, or both) evaluation reports from 28 such projects were obtained and...

The aim of this paper is to formulate a model that integrates production planning and order acceptance decisions while taking into account demand uncertainty and capturing the effects of congestion. Orders/customers are classified into classes based on their marginal revenue and their level of...

Assemble-to-order (ATO) systems enable manufacturing firms to be cost-effective and at the same time responsive to changing customer orders. In this paper, we study an assemble-to-order (ATO) system, where raw materials are released into a capacitated production stage. Inventory of produced...
