<p> In the past two decades, retailers have witnessed rapid changes in markets due to an increase in competition, the rise of e-commerce, and ever-changing consumer behavior. As a result, retailers have become increasingly aware of the need to better coordinate inventory control with pricing in order to maximize their profitability. This dissertation was motivated by two of such problems facing retailers at the interface between pricing and inventory control. One considers inventory control decisions for settings in which planned prices fluctuate over time, and the other considers pricing of m

Abstract:

Emergency services play a vital role in society by providing help to affected people and minimizing damage to public and private assets as well as the environment during emergencies. However, these organizations deal with problems of increasing demand uncertainty and resource shortage over time. These problems lead to the creation of many other problems, such as longer response times, lower survivability of victims and patients, and more severe damage to properties and the environment. Acquiring more information about future emergency demand, such as factors affecting this demand, can contribu

Abstract:

Abstract The framing into demand driven operations is because of the operations research modelling approach. The modelling approach requires continuous regressors and an independent response factor. The demand as an operating factor is considered as independent response factor in relation to the continuous regressors. The method validation is made along several longitudinal case studies to cover local, global and international industrial operations. The examined operational scope is from continuous operations to one-off production. Concerning scheduling, these examined demand driven, industria

Scheduling of winter maintenance operations such as plowing or salting is a difficult and complex problem. Proper selection and timing of such operations is critical to their effectiveness, however scheduling decisions must often be made with strict time and resource limitations imposed upon them. A decision support system which analyses current road conditions and makes scheduling suggestions based on them would be a valuable step toward improving the quality of treatment, while simultaneously reducing the burden of scheduling on maintenance managers.

Abstract:

<p> Crowdsourcing is an increasingly common method used for new product development in large engineering-focused companies. While effective at generating a large number of ideas, previous research has noted that there is not an efficient mechanism to sort ideas based on the sponsor's desired outcomes. Without such a mechanism, the sponsor is left to evaluate ideas individually in a labor-intensive effort. This paper evaluates the extent to which information revealed by the crowd during the course of a crowdsourcing event can be used to accurately predict sponsor selection of submitted ideas. T

Abstract:

<p> Over the last decade, healthcare supply chain (SC) costs have increased by 40 percent in the United States. A typical hospital’s SC costs account for 38 percent of the total, compared to less than 10 percent for most industries. Supply chain costs are the healthcare organizations’ second biggest expense. Healthcare centers are, therefore, becoming supply chain-sensitive organizations, leading to inefficiency and limited access to quality patient healthcare. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that healthcare SC cost drivers are almost unknown, which makes the work of health
