Inventory policies for joint remanufacturing and manufacturing have recently received much attention. Most efforts, though, were related to (optimal) policy structures and numerical optimization, rather than closed form expressions for calculating near optimal policy parameters. The focus of...

develop several heuristics based on traditional inventory models. We also investigate the performance of the system as a … and upper bounds on the optimal solution. We illustrate and explain some counter-intuitive results and we test the … performance of the heuristics on a set of sample problems. We find that the average error of the heuristics is quite low. …

For people working in finance, either in academia or in practice or in both, the combination of ?finance? and ?multiple criteria? is not obvious. However, we believe that many of the tools developed in the field of MCDM can contribute both to the quality of the financial economic decision making...

Most financial-economic decisions are made consciously, with a clear and constant drive to "good", "better" or even "optimal" decisions. Nevertheless, many decisions in practice do not earn these qualifications, despite the availability of financial economic theory, decision sciences and ample...

We ask various experts, who produce sales forecasts that can differ from earlier received model-based forecasts, what they do and why they do so. A questionnaire with a range of questions was completed by no less than forty-two such experts who are located in twenty different countries. We...

Many fouls committed in football (called soccer in some countries) are ambiguous, and there is no objective way of determining who is the “true” perpetrator or the “true” victim. Consequently, fans as well as referees often rely on a variety of decision cues when judging such foul...

People can choose and they make many choices each and every day. However, most people are unaware of how strong their environment influences the choices they make. In his inaugural address, Bas Donkers highlights the impact of what people see (and what they don’t see), what people experience...

In this paper we propose the use of preferred outcome distributions as a new method to elicit individuals’ value and probability weighting functions in decisions under risk. Extant approaches for the elicitation of these two key ingredients of individuals’ risk attitude typically rely on a...
