In today’s competitive business environment, the design and management of supply chainnetwork is one of the most important challenges that managers encounter. The supply chain network shouldbe designed for satisfying of customer demands as well as minizing the total system costs. This paper presentsa multi-period multi-stage supply chain network design problem under demand uncertainty. The prob...

We consider an integrated decision making process of autonomous vehicles in agent-oriented simulation of urban traffic systems. In our approach, the planning process for a vehicle agent is separated into two stages: strategic planning and tactical planning. During the strategic planning stage the vehicle agents constructs the optimal route from source to destination; during the tactical plannin...

The forest harvesting problem, FHP, is described. The difference is explained between a strategic model that sets long-term harvesting goals in terms of the total area to be cut each year, and a tactical model that produces a short-term schedule of actual blocks. Reasons are presented for the desirability of an integrated model, embracing both strategic and tactical decisions, which is capable ...

Major problems faced by the multi-outlet retailer include those of strategic planning, tactical decisions and operational control. The strategic planning questions include: How many outlets should be built in the next Y years? In what cities should they be built? When? Tactical decisions concern the selection of a particular site: What is the potential of a particular site? What are the charact...

This paper presents an integrated model that incorporates strategic, tactical, and operational decisions for a cash transfer management system of a bank. The aim of the model is to decide on the location of cash management centers, number and routes of vehicles, and the cash inventory management policies to minimize the cost of owning and operating a cash transfer system while maintaining a pre...

We considered the allocation of operating room (OR) time at facilities where the strategic decision had been made to increase the number of ORs. Allocation occurs in two stages: a long-term tactical stage followed by short-term operational stage. Tactical decisions, approximately 1 yr in advance, determine what specialized equipment and expertise will be needed. Tactical decisions are based on ...
