Production planning for multi-resource network systems

Production planning for large-scale production systems requiring the allocation of numerous resources is considered. It is demonstrated how the dynamic activity analysis developed by Shephard leads to linear programming solutions of production planning problems. Three types of planning problems are formulated: maximization of output levels for a given time horizon; minimization of production duration for given output histories; and minimization of production costs for given output histories.     

Sequencing n jobs on two machines with setup,processing and removal times separated

The paper extends the machine flow-shop scheduling problem by separating processing time into setup, processing and removal times.     

A note on the influence of missing operations on scheduling problems

This paper attempts to resolve the existing confusion concerning missing operations. Scheduling problems are classified in two groups: (i) null-continuous (NC)—comprising the problems where an optimal schedule remains optimal on replacement of arbitrarily small processing times (existing operations) with zeros (missing operations); (ii) null-discontinuous (NDC)—comprising those problems which are not null-continuous.     

Equivalence relations in the theory of repetitive consumption

Preference for food in the function of the time since last consumption and total preference in the function of eating frequency are equivalent mathematical representations of attitudes governing food consumption. The observed and postulated properties of these functions imply a formal correspondence between preference maximizing and variety seeking behavior.     

Reformulating zero-sum games with multiple goals

This paper investigates the two-person zero-sum multiple payoff game in which the objective is to minimize a player's total underachievement from a fixed set of goals. It is demonstrated that a previous formulation of this problem can be substantially simplified.     

Spares stocking policies for repairable items with dependent repair times

This paper analyzes the problem of determining desirable spares inventory levels for repairable items with dependent repair times. The problem is important for repairable products such as aircraft engines which can have very large investment in spares inventory levels. While existing models can be used to determine optimal inventory spares levels when repair times are independent, the practical considerations of limited repair shop capacity and prioritized shop dispatching rules combine to make repair times not independent of one another. In this research a simulation model of a limited capacity repair facility with prioritized scheduling is used to explore a variety of heuristic approaches to the spares stocking decision. The heuristics are also compared with use of a model requiring independent repair times (even though that assumption is not valid here). The results show that even when repair time dependencies are present, the performance of a model which assumes independent repair times is quite good.     

Compound availability measures

An availability measure is the probability that a two-state system modeled by an alternating renewal process is available at one or more points or intervals. The concept of availability measures is extended to formulae for the joint prediction of availability and numbers of breakdowns (or repairs) of the system during a fixed interval.
