Consolidating orders in inventory management increases order size, exploits economy of scale, and potentially lowers costs. But it is not always apparent how to divide up the resulting lower costs. The analysis of cost allocation in different inventory settings has a name and is now referred to as Inventory Games. This work examines collaborative procurement for the EOQ model for multiple items...

The tracing methods determine the contribution the power system sources have in their supplying. These methods can be used to assess the transmission prices, but also to recover the transmission fixed cost. In this paper is presented the influence of the modification of commons structure has on the specific price of transfer and on active power losses. The authors propose a power losses allocat...

AbstractIn practice, a supplier with limited capacity often puts on allocation, i.e., rationing through quantity competition of retailers rather than pricing mechanism. Capacity allocation is common occurrence in industries which expansion costly and time consuming price given exogenously (e.g., steel paper). A can use his prior beliefs own the retailers’ needs to construct mechanism for among ...

This study addresses resource allocation for weighted sum throughput maximisation (WSTM) in a sectorised two-cell downlink orthogonal frequency-division multiple access systems impaired by multicell interference. It is well known that the optimisation problem for this scenario is NP-hard and combinational, which is here converted to a novel WSTM problem based on the intercell interference limit...

The weighted value was introduced by Shapley in 1953 as an asymmetric version of his value. Since then several axiomatizations have been proposed including one by Shapley in 1981 specifically addressed to cost allocation, a context in which weights appear naturally. It was at the occasion of a comment in which only the axioms were stated. The present paper offers a proof of Shapley's statement ...

the purpose of this article is to discuss the allocation issues in managerial accounting. the allocation problem has several dimensions, some of which are subtle. in fact ,almost all of our revenue recognition and matching efforts require allocation. that is, deciding to what periods they (revenues and expenses) should be assigned, in conclusion, practitioners have honestly believed that alloca...

An integrated fiber-to-the-homes (FTTHs) and wireless sensor network (WSN) provides a cost-effective solution to build up an immaculate ubiquitous-City (U-city). The key objectives of effective convergence of FTTH and WSN are less computational complexity for data packet processing, low installation cost, and good quality of services. In this paper, we introduce an integrated network structure ...

The role of health systems infrastructure in studies of cost-effectiveness analysis and health resource allocation is discussed, and previous health sector cost-effectiveness analyses are cited. Two substantial difficulties concerning the nature of health system costs and the policy choices are presented. First, the issue of health system infrastructure can be addressed by use of computer model...
