Dynamic coordination of production planning and sales admission control in the presence of a spot market

We consider the decision‐making problem of dynamically scheduling the production of a single make‐to stock (MTS) product in connection with the product's concurrent sales in a spot market and a long‐term supply channel. The spot market is run by a business to business (B2B) online exchange, whereas the long‐term channel is established by a structured contract. The product's price in the spot market is exogenous, evolves as a continuous time Markov chain, and affects demand, which arrives sequentially as a Markov‐modulated Poisson process (MMPP). The manufacturer is obliged to fulfill demand in the long‐term channel, but is able to rein in sales in the spot market. This is a significant strategic decision for a manufacturer in entering a favorable contract. The profitability of the contract must be evaluated by optimal performance. The current problem, therefore, arises as a prerequisite to exploring contracting strategies. We reveal that the optimal strategy of coordinating production and sales is structured by the spot price dependent on the base stock and sell‐down thresholds. Moreover, we can exploit the structural properties of the optimal strategy to conceive an efficient algorithm. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2010     

新体制导航信号下I/Q幅相不一致对接收机测距零值的影响分析

随着现代化导航信号带宽的增大，由于可以大幅降低采样率，复信号采样的优势日趋明显。由于存在I/Q幅相误差，复信号采样对导航接收机伪距测量造成了一定影响。改进了信道非理想与I/Q幅相误差共同影响BPSK/QPSK信号零值测量的分析模型；在该模型基础上，推导得到了任意I/Q误差和信道非理想特性影响BOC信号伪距零值的模型；探讨了二者在频域抗干扰应用场景下引起的零值变化；理论分析与软件接收机仿真结果高度吻合，误差在1.5×10^-4码片内，证明了分析模型的精确性。该分析方法可用于对高性能导航接收机信道特性进行事先约束及筛选，以确保干扰场景下的零值变化满足要求。

The effect of a temporary product distribution channel on supply chain performance

We analyze a supply chain of a manufacturer and two retailers, a permanent retailer who always stocks the manufacturer's product and an intermittent deal‐of‐the day retailer who sells the manufacturer's product online for a short time. We find that without a deal‐of‐the‐day (DOTD) retailer, it is suboptimal for the manufacturer to offer a quantity discount while it is optimal for the retailer to offer periodic price discounts to consumers. With the addition of a DOTD retailer, it is likely to be optimal for the manufacturer to offer a quantity discount. We show that even without market expansion, i.e., no exclusive DOTD retailer consumers, opening the intermittent channel can leave the permanent retailer no worse‐off while increasing the manufacturer's profit. We identify the regular and discounted wholesale prices and the threshold quantity at which the manufacturer should give the discount. We also identify the optimal retail prices. We find that opening the intermittent channel increases the profit of the manufacturer, is likely to decrease the average retail price and to increase sales, and may increase the permanent retailer's profit. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Retailer's rationale to refuse consumer returns in supply chains

While accepting consumer returns has long been proposed as a solution to resolve the consumer valuation uncertainty problem, there are still a sizable portion of retailers who insist on a “no return” policy. In this article, we offer an economic rationale for these seemingly unreasonable strategies in a supply chain context. We demonstrate when and why the retailer may benefit from refusing consumer returns, even though offering consumer returns allows the supply chain to implement the expostmarket segmentation. Granting the retailer the right to refuse consumer returns may sometimes improve supply chain efficiency: it eliminates the manufacturer's attempt to induce inefficient consumer returns and bring the equilibrium back to that in the vertically integrated benchmark. We also find that the refund and the retail price can move in the opposite directions when product reliability varies, and consumer returns have a nontrivial impact on the quality choice. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

GNSS多径信道模拟的聚类稀疏拟合方案

针对全球导航卫星系统(global navigation satellite system, GNSS)信道模拟计算量大、硬件资源开销大,不利于实时性能评估和实际工程应用的挑战,提出一种GNSS多径信道模拟的聚类稀疏拟合方案。利用基于K中心聚类信道冲击响应(channel impulse response, CIR)参数萃取的稀疏拟合方法,得到等效精简CIR参数,再以稀疏抽头延迟线结构来实现信道模拟。所提方法在保持多径误差条件下,通过较少抽头数量的抽头延迟线结构滤波器拟合原始GNSS多径信道模型,可以大为简化GNSS信道模型仿真复杂度,而无须庞大的硬件资源。仿真结果表明,通过对参考信道模型生成的信道CIR参数进行稀疏拟合,所提出的方案和方法具有良好的效果。
