An evaluation of scheduling heuristics for dynamic single-processor scheduling with early/tardy costs

In an endeavor to broaden the application of scheduling models to decisions involving the use of a manager's time we use simulation to investigate the performance of a number of simple algorithms (including eight priority rules and a construction heuristic) in a dynamic setting with tasks arriving (randomly) and scheduling decisions being made, over time. We compare these simple methods relative to a bound that uses an adjacent pairwise interchange algorithm. We model uncertainty in task durations, and costs being incurred for early and tardy task completion (representative of JIT settings). In addition to evaluating the efficacy of the scheduling rules and various preemption strategies (using ANOVA), we highlight the managerial implications of the effects of eight environmental parameters. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Consistency of several variants of the standardized time series area variance estimator

In statistical analysis of stationary time series or in steady-state simulation output analysis, it is desired to find consistent estimates of the process variance parameter. Here, we consider variants of the area estimator of standardized time series, namely, the weighted area and the Cramér-von Mises area estimators, and provide their consistency, in the strong sense and mean-square sense. A sharp bound for the (asymptotic) variance of these estimators is obtained. We also present a central limit theorem for the weighted area estimator: this gives a rate of convergence of this estimator, as well as a confidence interval for the variance parameter. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

An exact aggregation/disaggregation algorithm for large scale markov chains

Many Markov chain models have very large state spaces, making the computation of stationary probabilities very difficult. Often the structure and numerical properties of the Markov chain allows for more efficient computation through state aggregation and disaggregation. In this article we develop an efficient exact single pass aggregation/disaggregation algorithm which exploits structural properties of large finite irreducible mandatory set decomposable Markov chains. The required property of being of mandatory set decomposable structure is a generalization of several other Markov chain structures for which exact aggregation/disaggregation algorithms exist. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Queueing-location problems on the plane

In this article we present a queueing-location problem where a location of a service station has to be determined. The two main results of this article are a convexity proof for general distances and a theorem that limits the area in the plane where the solution can lie. We also propose some solution procedures.     

Sole sourcing versus dual sourcing under stochastic demands and lead times

The use of a single vendor for each inventoried item is usually assumed in most of the inventory models. However, there are situations where the use of more than one vendor should be considered, especially when lead times are stochastic. This research presents a theoretical investigation of the effect of cost structures on the relative performance of sole-sourcing versus dual-sourcing inventory control policies. We show that except for cases where the ordering cost is high, the lead-time variability is low, or the customer service level is low, dual sourcing performs better than sole sourcing under the normally distributed demand and shifted-exponential lead times. Moreover, the computational results indicate the dual sourcing provides a better service level than sole sourcing at the optimal solutions, and that dual sourcing results in larger order quantities than sole sourcing, which suggests that attractive quantity discounts may not be in jeopardy when dual sourcing is employed. Finally, because it is generally known that multiple sourcing can enhance the competition among suppliers, material managers should consider splitting purchase orders when two equally qualified suppliers are available. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

New worst-case results for the bin-packing problem

In this note we consider the familiar bin-packing problem and provide new worst-case results for a number of classical heuristics. We show that the first-fit and best-fit heuristics have an absolute performance ratio of no more than 1.75, and first-fit decreasing and best-fit decreasing heuristics have an absolute performance ratio of 1.5. The latter is the best possible absolute performance ratio for the bin-packing problem, unless P = NP. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Integrating decisions with advance supply information in an assemble-to-order system

We study a periodic-review assemble-to-order (ATO) system with multiple components and multiple products, in which the inventory replenishment for each component follows an independent base-stock policy and stochastic product demands are satisfied according to a First-Come-First-Served rule. We assume that the replenishment for various component suffers from lead time uncertainty. However, the decision maker has the so-called advance supply information (ASI) associated with the lead times and thus can take advantage of the information for system optimization. We propose a multistage stochastic integer program that incorporates ASI to address the joint optimization of inventory replenishment and component allocation. The optimal base-stock policy for the inventory replenishment is determined using the sample average approximation algorithm. Also, we provide a modified order-based component allocation (MOBCA) heuristic for the component allocation. We additionally consider a special case of the variable lead times where the resulting two-stage stochastic programming model can be characterized as a single-scenario case of the proposed multistage model. We carry out extensive computational studies to quantify the benefits of integrating ASI into joint optimization and to explore the possibility of employing the two-stage model as a relatively efficient approximation scheme for the multistage model.
