Resource allocation with lumpy demand: To speed or not to speed?

In the classical EPQ model with continuous and constant demand, holding and setup costs are minimized when the production rate is no larger than the demand rate. However, the situation may change when demand is lumpy. We consider a firm that produces multiple products, each having a unique lumpy demand pattern. The decision involves determining both the lot size for each product and the allocation of resources for production rate improvements among the products. We find that each product's optimal production policy will take on only one of two forms: either continuous production or lot‐for‐lot production. The problem is then formulated as a nonlinear nonsmooth knapsack problem among products determined to be candidates for resource allocation. A heuristic procedure is developed to determine allocation amounts. The procedure decomposes the problem into a mixed integer program and a nonlinear convex resource allocation problem. Numerical tests suggest that the heuristic performs very well on average compared to the optimal solution. Both the model and the heuristic procedure can be extended to allow the company to simultaneously alter both the production rates and the incoming demand lot sizes through quantity discounts. Extensions can also be made to address the case where a single investment increases the production rate of multiple products. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2004.

多源信息的验前分布融合方法研究

验前分布的获取和表示是B ayes理论应用中的一个关键问题。针对目前多源验前信息融合中存在的过分依赖专家信息的问题,提出了一种基于第2类极大似然估计原理(M L-II)确定验前分布权重的方法,该方法将现场试验数据看作是由其边缘分布产生的样本,然后根据不同验前分布下现场样本似然性的大小来确定其在验前分布融合中的作用,并以此进一步确定不同验前分布的权重因子。最后通过算例证明了该方法比基于专家信息的融合方法更为合理和有效。

抗战期间国民政府在黄泛区的资源整合与国家调度——以豫东地区为例

1938年6月花园口决堤后,国民政府从民族抗战大局出发,对豫东黄泛区进行了一系列的资源整合和国家调度活动,目的在于增进灾区民众的凝聚力和对敌斗争的信心.主要有:一、开展大规模的政治宣传,给灾区和难民以道德旌扬和精神抚慰;二、密切关注新黄河的水势水情,扩大以水代兵的军事价值;三、制定善后政策,规范善后活动,增进善后力度;四、采取具体措施,对难民实施直接救助和救济.这些活动未必都卓有成效,但是在当时极其艰难的斗争条件下,对于拯救灾民、聚拢人心、激发民族抗战意志、实行持久抗战所起的作用,还是应当给予应有的肯定的.     

基于光流传感器的四旋翼飞行器悬停校正

由于低成本的惯性测量单元存在较大漂移,四旋翼飞行器难以稳定地悬停在固定区域,基于此,提出了一种基于光流传感器的四旋翼飞行器悬停校正方法。将光流传感器安装在四旋翼飞行器底部,利用光流信息检测四旋翼飞行器相对地面的水平移动速度,对姿态估计进行补偿,实现悬停校正。试验结果表明:该方法能够有效地提高四旋翼飞行器的悬停稳定性,从而保证飞行器能够执行战场侦察、校正射击、干扰敌人等多种军事任务。     

Fully sequential indifference‐zone selection procedures with variance‐dependent sampling

Fully sequential indifference‐zone selection procedures have been proposed in the simulation literature to select the system with the best mean performance from a group of simulated systems. However, the existing sequential indifference‐zone procedures allocate an equal number of samples to the two systems in comparison even if their variances are drastically different. In this paper we propose new fully sequential indifference‐zone procedures that allocate samples according to the variances. We show that the procedures work better than several existing sequential indifference‐zone procedures when variances of the systems are different. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
