Requirements Planning with Pricing and Order Selection Flexibility

Order Selection and Scheduling with Leadtime Flexibility

Resource Flexibility with Responsive Pricing

This article studies two types of flexibility used by firms to better respond to uncertain market conditions: resource flexibility and responsive pricing. We consider a situation in which a single flexible resource can be used to satisfy two distinct demand classes. While the resource capacity must be decided based on uncertain demand functions, the resource allocation as well as the pricing de...

Pricing and scheduling decisions with leadtime flexibility

This paper studies a problem faced by a manufacturer who has the ability to set prices to influence demand, reject orders, and set leadtimes or due-dates for accepted orders. We present decision models that integrate pricing and production decisions for the cases where the manufacturer charges the same price or different prices to different customers. Through numerical analyses, we present insi...

Flaw Selection Strategies for Partial-Order Planning

Several recent studies have compared the relative e ciency of alternative aw selection strategies for partial-order causal link (POCL) planning. We review this literature, and present new experimental results that generalize the earlier work and explain some of the discrepancies in it. In particular, we describe the Least-Cost Flaw Repair (LCFR) strategy developed and analyzed by Joslin and Pol...

A Multisignature Scheme with Message Flexibility, Order Flexibility and Order Verifiability

Multisignature scheme realizes that plural users generate the signature on a message, and that the signature is veri ed. Various studies on multisignature have been proposed([4, 13, 11, 8, 1]). They are classi ed into two types: RSA([9])-based multisignature([4, 8]), and discrete logarithm problem(DLP) based multisignature([13, 11, 1]), all of which assume that a message is xed beforehand. In a...
