Trade credit contract in the presence of retailer investment opportunity

This paper presents a model for designing a trade credit contract between a supplier and a retailer that would coordinate a supply chain in the presence of investment opportunity for the retailer. Specifically, we study a newsvendor model where the supplier offers a trade credit contract to the retailer who, by delaying the payment, can invest the accounts payable amount and earn returns. We find that when the channel partners have symmetric information about the retailer's investment return, a conditionally concessional trade credit (CTC) contract, which includes a wholesale price, an interest‐free period, and a minimum order requirement, can achieve channel coordination. We then extend the model to the information asymmetry setting in which the retailer's investment return is unobservable by the supplier. We show that, although the CTC contract cannot achieve the coordination in this setting, it can effectively improve channel efficiency as well as profitability for individual partners.     

Approximations for heavily loaded G/GI/n + GI queues

Motivated by applications to service systems, we develop simple engineering approximation formulas for the steady‐state performance of heavily loaded G/GI/n+GI multiserver queues, which can have non‐Poisson and nonrenewal arrivals and non‐exponential service‐time and patience‐time distributions. The formulas are based on recently established Gaussian many‐server heavy‐traffic limits in the efficiency‐driven (ED) regime, where the traffic intensity is fixed at ρ > 1, but the approximations also apply to systems in the quality‐and‐ED regime, where ρ > 1 but ρ is close to 1. Good performance across a wide range of parameters is obtained by making heuristic refinements, the main one being truncation of the queue length and waiting time approximations to nonnegative values. Simulation experiments show that the proposed approximations are effective for large‐scale queuing systems for a significant range of the traffic intensity ρ and the abandonment rate θ, roughly for ρ > 1.02 and θ > 2.0. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于 ANP 的作战筹划能力模糊评价方法

基于网络层次分析（ANP）的模糊评价方法,通过对作战筹划能力进行分析评价,为提升作战筹划能力提供参考。首先运用 ANP 法,提出包含4个方面18个指标的评估指标体系,构建作战筹划能力评估模型,然后通过模糊综合评价法对作战筹划能力进行评价。该评估模型探索了筹划能力评价的方法,为作战筹划能力评价工作提供新思路。     

学习型组织理论对改革高校学籍管理制度的启示

高校学籍管理制度是高校管理体系的基石和重要组成部分,是促进高校不断发展的重要动力之一。由美国的彼得·圣吉提出的管理学上的学习型组织理论为高校学籍制度改革提供了新的思路:改变原有模式隔阂、简单强调个人竞争和僵化的弊端,建立注重沟通、团体进步与合作以及灵活的学籍管理制度。     

浅谈在营区规划中对营区文化的塑造

当前在军队工程建设中,对营区规划的主导思想已形成基本一致的认识,但多从物质技术层面去理解,就营区规划单位而言,尚没有广泛认识到营区文化也是规划中的重要内容以及在营区现代化建设中起着不可替代的作用。本文针对此情况重点论述了营区文化的主要内容和重要作用,并提倡通过对营区空间形态的创造来塑造有特色的营区文化,最终创造出一个充满凝聚力的,有利于长期发展的营区环境。

不同隔板构型下的超声速混合层流场特性

利用实验和数值仿真相结合的方法,对Ma1=1.5,Ma2=2.5,T0,1=300K,T0,2=1200K,压力匹配(p1=p2=86KPa)条件下的超声速混合层在不同隔板构型下的流场特性进行了研究。实验中发现在隔板上开凹腔对于混合层具有一定的混合增强效果,且随着凹腔长深比的增加,这种效果越显著。对于尾缘交错分布的隔板,混合层流场显现出强烈的非定常性,且极大地增进了混合。通过相应的数值仿真,发现凹腔隔板的增混机制在于凹腔剪切层的再附着,而交错隔板则在于促进了大尺度流向涡的产生。
