Pricing, Production, and Inventory Policies for Manufacturing with Stochastic Demand and Discretionary Sales

Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, 8(2), 149–168.

By: L. Chan*, D. Simchi-Levi* & J. Swann*

author keywords: pricing; production; inventory control; discretionary sales; worst-case analysis
TL;DR: It is found that delayed production is usually better than delayed pricing except sometimes when capacity is tight, and on average, the delayed production (pricing) heuristic achieved 99.3 (99.8) of the corresponding optimal strategy. (via Semantic Scholar)

Answering queries using materialized views with minimum size

VLDB JOURNAL, 15(3), 191–210.

author keywords: views; data warehouses; minimum-size viewsets; distributed systems
TL;DR: This paper presents techniques for finding a minimum-size viewset for a single query without self-joins, and describes a very compact search space of views, which contains all views in at least one optimal viewset. (via Semantic Scholar)

A novel method for multistage scenario generation based on cluster analysis

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY & DECISION MAKING, 5(3), 513–530.

author keywords: dynamic portfolio selection; stochastic linear goal programming model; multistage scenario generation; cluster analysis; arbitrage
TL;DR: A linear programming model is proposed to exclude the arbitrage opportunity by appending a scenario to the generated scenario set by means of a cited stochastic linear goal programming portfolio model. (via Semantic Scholar)
