Problem definition: The theoretical investigation of the effectiveness limited flexibility has mainly focused on a performance metric that is based maximum sales in units. However, this could lead to substantial profit losses when used guide designs while products have considerably large margin differences. Academic/practical relevance: We address issue by introducing differentials into analysi...

BACKGROUND It is estimated that the standard, passive case finding (PCF) strategy for detecting cases of tuberculosis (TB) in Myanmar has not been successful: 26% of cases are missing. Therefore, alternative strategies, such as active case finding (ACF) by community volunteers, have been initiated since 2011. This study aimed to assess the contribution of a Community Based TB Care Programme (CB...

To achieve the highest customer satisfaction at the lowest costs, GE Plastics adopted a global approach to its manufacturing operations. Previously it met demand in one geographic region with production from that region only. It developed a decision-support system (DSS) to optimize the two-echelon global manufacturing supply chain for its high performance polymers division. The DSS uses a math-...

Capacity control implementations in make-to-order (MTO) revenue management typically are based on bid-prices, which are used to approximate the opportunity cost of accepting a customer request. However, in the face of stochastic demand, this approximation becomes less accurate and the performance of bid-prices may deteriorate. To address this problem, we examine the informational dynamics inher...
