Book Description
This book focuses on the tactical planning level for spare parts management. It describes a series of multi-item inventory models and presents exact and heuristic optimization methods, including greedy heuristics that work well for real, life-sized problems. The intended audience consists of graduate students, starting scholars in the field of spare parts inventory control, and spare parts planning specialists in the industry. In individual chapters the authors consider topics including: a basic single-location model; single-location models with multiple machine types and/or machine groups; the multi-location model with lateral transshipments; the classical METRIC model and its generalization to multi-indenture systems; and a single-location model with an explicit modeling of the repair capacity for failed parts and the priorities that one can set there. Various chapters of the book are used in a master course at Eindhoven University of Technology and in a PhD course of the Graduate Program Operations Management and Logistics (a Dutch network that organizes PhD courses in the field of OM&L). The required pre-knowledge consists of probability theory and basic knowledge of Markov processes and queuing theory. End-of-chapter problems appear for all chapters, with some answers appearing in an appendix.

Book Description
One of the aims of this study is to find weaknesses and strengths of healthcare industry by defining problems, finding solutions and suggesting some models through existing studies and analyzing current healthcare system in Turkey and other developed countries. These critical parts are tried to be modeled in case studies in each chapter such as dialysis analysis, breast cancer, congestion of system, stress, queues etc. Main problems depending on hospital type are defined and some solutions are tried to be developed. Later, the existing systems of the hospitals are generalized. Opportunities and threats of specific and general situations are determined in healthcare by SWOT analysis. Moreover, SWOT method and bench-marking are used to deploy strategies by TOWS matrix. This book can be used in every country to improve their current healthcare system and increase learning and awareness in health.
Dynamic Scheduling of a Multi-Class Queue: Discount Optimality

Book Description
The author considers a single server queueing system with several classes of customers who arrive according to independent Poisson processes. The service time distributions are arbitrary, and a linear cost structure is assumed. The problem is to decide, at the completion of each service and given the state of system, which class (if any) to admit next into service. The objective is to maximize the expected net present value of service rewards received minus holding costs incurred over an infinite planning horizon, the interest rate being positive. One very special type of scheduling rule, called a modified static policy, simply enforces a (non-preemptive) priority ranking except that certain classes are never served. It is shown that there is a modified static policy which is optimal, and a simple algorithm for its computation is presented. (Modified author abstract).

ISBN: 9811559511
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 521
Book Description
This book gathers selected papers presented at the International Conference on Advances in Applied Probability and Stochastic Processes, held at CMS College, Kerala, India, on 7–10 January 2019. It showcases high-quality research conducted in the field of applied probability and stochastic processes by focusing on techniques for the modelling and analysis of systems evolving with time. Further, it discusses the applications of stochastic modelling in queuing theory, reliability, inventory, financial mathematics, operations research, and more. This book is intended for a broad audience, ranging from researchers interested in applied probability, stochastic modelling with reference to queuing theory, inventory, and reliability, to those working in industries such as communication and computer networks, distributed information systems, next-generation communication systems, intelligent transportation networks, and financial markets.

Book Description
During recent years a great deal of progress has been made in performance modelling and evaluation of the Internet, towards the convergence of multi-service networks of diverging technologies, supported by internetworking and the evolution of diverse access and switching technologies. The 44 chapters presented in this handbook are revised invited works drawn from PhD courses held at recent HETNETs International Working Conferences on Performance Modelling and Evaluation of Heterogeneous Networks. They constitute essential introductory material preparing the reader for further research and development in the field of performance modelling, analysis and engineering of heterogeneous networks and of next and future generation Internets. The handbook aims to unify relevant material already known but dispersed in the literature, introduce the readers to unfamiliar and unexposed research areas and, generally, illustrate the diversity of research found in the high growth field of convergent heterogeneous networks and the Internet. The chapters have been broadly classified into 12 parts covering the following topics: Measurement Techniques; Traffic Modelling and Engineering; Queueing Systems and Networks; Analytic Methodologies; Simulation Techniques; Performance Evaluation Studies; Mobile, Wireless and Ad Hoc Networks, Optical Networks; QoS Metrics and Algorithms; All IP Convergence and Networking; Network Management and Services; and Overlay Networks.
