Abstract Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is an approach to translate customer requirements into technical requirements for a product or service. The traditional QFD provides a fundamental analysis, but it is still inconvenient when decision making in technical design should address business objection. The competition strategies and the resource allocation for this improvement planning are ess...

An important aspect of product development is design for manufacturability (DFM) analysis that aims to incorporate manufacturing requirements into early product decisionmaking. Existing methods in DFM seldom quantify explicitly the tradeoffs between revenues and costs generated by making design choices that may be desirable in the market but costly to manufacture. This paper builds upon previou...

resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in lte networks. most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. the great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (mos) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. in this p...

An equitable risk allocation between contracting parties plays a vital role in enhancing the performance of the project. This research presents a new quantitative risk allocation approach by integrating fuzzy logic and bargaining game theory. Owing to the imprecise and uncertain nature of players’ payoffs at different risk allocation strategies, fuzzy logic is implemented to determine the value...

In today’s competitive world, there are several strategies to deal with the fast changing environment, among which New product development (NPD) is a common strategy. However, almost half of the resources that companies devote to NPD are spent on products that may fail. This issue is particularly highlighted in the pharmaceutical industry mainly because of a long development-time, low success r...

We consider a cooperative game defined by an economic lot sizing problem with concave ordering costs over a finite time horizon, in which each player faces demand for a single product in each period and coalitions can pool orders. We show how to compute a dynamic cost allocation in the strong sequential core of this game, i.e. an allocation over time that exactly distributes costs and is stable...

Among the most contentious elements of the design of cap-and-trade systems for emissions trading is the allocation or assignment of the emissions credits themselves. Policy-makers are trying to satisfy a range of goals through the allocation process, including easing the transition costs for high-emissions firms, reducing leakage to unregulated regions, and mitigating the impact of the regulati...

the basic type of assembly line balancing (alb) problem is the allocation of work elements to a set of production work stations considering cycle time, precedence constraints, and assembly diagram to achieve predefined performance criteria such as line efficiency and smoothness index. in this paper, a mixed integer programming model for solving multiple product alb problems with processing time...
