This research paper builds on existing knowledge in the field of parametric Linear Programming (pLP) and proposes a continuous mathematical model that considers a multi-period Quantity Flexibility (QF) contract between a car manufacturer (buyer) and external parts supplying company. The supplier periodically delivers parts to the car manufacturer as agreed in the contract. Due to the uncertainty of...
In this paper, we extend our geometric approach to study the optimal logistics outsourcing contract in the problem with more complex distributions. We propose an approximate method to explore the problem, by using piecewise uniform distributions to approximate the original distributions. With appropriate number of cutting, the approximation hardly leads to any deterioration in the solution, showed...
We address the problem of optimal resource action planning, which is faced by firms in the services business in the context of planning delivery of services with an expected demand outlook for various skills. Firms have the option of cross-training a chosen number of resource-units from a primary skill type into secondary skills, tertiary skills, and so on. They have the option of further hiring and...
Based on the peculiarities of bid-based-pool (BBP) electricity markets, the generatorspsila gaming in financial options market and spot market is addressed. A two-period equilibrium model with capacity constraints, where strategic generators compete with their rivals by supply function in spot market and by Cournot conjectures in financial options market, is proposed. The model can be transformed...
