Stochastic Optimal Control of Ato Systems with Batch Arrivals via Diffusion Approximation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the stochastic optimal control for an assemble-to-order system with multiple products and components that arrive at the system in random batches and according to renewal reward processes. Our purpose is to maximize expected infinite-horizon discounted profit by selecting product prices, component production rates, and a dynamic sequencing rule for assembly. We refine the solution of some static planning problem and a discrete review policy to batch arrival environment and develop an asymptotically optimal policy for the system operating under heavy traffic, which indicates that the system can be approximated by a diffusion process and exhibits a state space collapse property.

Performance Analysis and Evaluation of Assemble-to-Order Systems with Stochastic Sequential Lead Times
We consider the multiproduct and multicomponent assemble-to-order (ATO) systems where the replenishment lead times of the components are stochastic, sequential, and independent of the system state. The component inventories are either controlled by the continuous-time base-stock policies, namely, a base-stock ATO system, or by the continuous-time batchordering policies, namely, a batch-ordering...
متن کاملAsymptotically Optimal Inventory Control for Assemble-to-Order Systems with Identical Lead Times
Optimizing multi-product assemble-to-order (ATO) inventory systems is a long-standing difficult problem. We consider ATO systems with identical component lead times and a general ‘bill of materials’. We use a related two-stage stochastic program (SP) to set a lower bound on the average inventory cost and develop inventory control policies for the dynamic ATO system using this SP. We apply the f...
متن کاملMarket Adaptive Control Function Optimization in Continuous Cover Forest Management
Economically optimal management of a continuous cover forest is considered here. Initially, there is a large number of trees of different sizes and the forest may contain several species. We want to optimize the harvest decisions over time, using continuous cover forestry, which is denoted by CCF. We maximize our objective function, the expected present value, with consideration of stochastic p...
متن کاملApproximation of stochastic advection diffusion equations with finite difference scheme
In this paper, a high-order and conditionally stable stochastic difference scheme is proposed for the numerical solution of $rm Ithat{o}$ stochastic advection diffusion equation with one dimensional white noise process. We applied a finite difference approximation of fourth-order for discretizing space spatial derivative of this equation. The main properties of deterministic difference schemes,...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Computing Limit distributions of Oscillating Systems with Finite Capacity
We address the batch arrival systems with finite capacity under partial batch acceptance strategy where service times or rates oscillate between two forms according to the evolution of the number of customers in the system. Applying the theory of Markov regenerative processes and resorting to Markov chain embedding, we present a new algorithm for computing limit distributions of the number cus...
