Subrato Mondal, Goutam Sen
We consider the scalability issues in the static data segment location problem in information networks and provide integer linear programming (ILP) formulations for user aggregation. We explore three approaches based on k-means clustering, locality-of-reference and biased locality of reference. The second and third approaches are innovatively modeled as discrete optimization problems. The models are tested in IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio platform and the computational results are discussed in this paper.

Planning of Available Resources Considering Ergonomics Under Deterministic Highly Variable Demand 确定性高变量需求下考虑人机工程学的可用资源规划
M. Bonini, J. Schuhmacher, Augusto Urru, Jan Philipp Wezel, V. Hummel, W. Echelmeyer
In this paper, a method for hybrid short- to long-term planning of available resources for operations is presented, which is based on a known or deterministically forecasted but highly variable demand. The method considers quantitative measures such as the performance and the availability of resources, ergonomically relevant KPI and ultimately process costs in order to serve as a pragmatic planning tool for operations managers in SMEs. Specifically, the method enables exploiting the ergonomic advantages of available flexible automation technology (e.g. AGVs or picking robots), while assuring that these do not represent a capacity bottleneck. After presenting the method along with the necessary assumptions, mainly concerning the availability of data for the calculations, we report a case study that quantifies the impact of throughput variability on the selection of different process alternatives, where different teams of resources are used.
本文提出了一种基于已知或确定性预测但高度可变的需求的混合短期和长期可用资源规划方法。该方法考虑了诸如性能和资源可用性、与人体工程学相关的KPI以及最终处理成本等定量度量,以便作为中小企业运营经理的实用规划工具。具体来说,该方法可以利用现有灵活自动化技术(例如agv或拣选机器人)的人体工程学优势,同时确保这些技术不会成为容量瓶颈。在介绍了方法和必要的假设之后,主要是关于计算数据的可用性,我们报告了一个案例研究,该案例研究量化了吞吐量可变性对不同流程选择的影响,其中使用了不同的资源团队。

Organizational Learning from Failure Can Augment Ambidexterity: Evidence from Japan 组织从失败中学习可以增强两面性:来自日本的证据
S. Nagayoshi, J. Nakamura
It is important for companies to adapt to changes in the business environment to gain or maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. In other words, they need to augment their management base by upgrading their current businesses and finding new business opportunities in line with future corporate growth and life cycles. However, it is difficult to achieve these objectives concurrently. In this study, we present a case of a Japanese company that has grown as a measure of information sharing and organizational learning from failure. We aim to explain how organizational learning from failure has led to ambidexterity, which consists of exploration and exploitation; we also examine whether organizational learning from failure is effective in exploration and exploitation. We used a quantitative approach through surveys and analysis of covariance structure. As a result, we find that organizational learning from failure is more effective for exploitation than for exploration in this company.
公司适应商业环境的变化以获得或保持可持续的竞争优势是很重要的。换句话说,他们需要通过升级现有业务和寻找符合未来企业成长和生命周期的新业务机会来扩大管理基础。然而,很难同时实现这些目标。在这项研究中,我们提出了一个日本公司的案例,该公司已经成长为信息共享和组织从失败中学习的衡量标准。我们的目标是解释组织从失败中学习如何导致双灵巧性,其中包括探索和利用;我们还研究了组织从失败中学习在探索和利用中是否有效。我们通过调查和协方差结构分析采用了定量方法。因此,我们发现在这家公司中,组织从失败中学习对开发比探索更有效。

Organizations, suppliers and consumers are highly sensitive towards environmental impacts arising from their operations today. Under this context, green consumption and the green packaging are gaining popularity among consumers. This research evaluates young educated consumer perception towards green packaging in Sri Lanka. A survey was conducted targeting university students who are reading for an undergraduate degree in Sri Lanka. Demographical information, attitudes and beliefs, knowledge about environmental sustainability, environmental awareness, and factors influencing their consumer behavior towards green packaging were collected through the survey. The data was analyzed using the Analytical Hierarchical Process. The findings of the research help understand main factors which influence the young educated consumer behavior towards green packaging and the level of influence of each factor. The analysis also reveals the hindrances and challenges withholding the use of green packaging.

Evolutionary Analysis of Vaccination Strategies for Infectious Diseases Considering Neutral Strategy 考虑中性策略的传染病疫苗接种策略演化分析
Xueyu Meng, Huiying Cao, Muhammad Rashid Bhatti, Zhiqiang Cai
In this paper, we propose an evolutionary game model of epidemic vaccination strategies considering neutral strategy on the homogeneous network. By establishing a state layer and a strategy layer for each individual in the network, we conduct an evolutionary game analysis of epidemic vaccination strategies. Firstly, we take into account various factors such as vaccination effectiveness, government subsidy rate, treatment discount rate, vaccination cost and treatment cost based on the traditional SIR model. We fully analyze various risk factors affecting vaccination. In the strategy layer, we introduce a new neutral strategy. Then, we analyze the proportion of individuals and game benefit of each strategy and use the mean field theory to establish a dynamic equation based on the proposed model. Simulation results show that in order to increase the number of individuals vaccinated when the network evolution is stable, the vaccination effectiveness should be increased and vaccination cost should be reduced. For government decision making, choosing the appropriate vaccination cost determines whether the network evolves towards vaccination strategy.
本文提出了一种考虑中性策略的同质网络流行病疫苗接种策略进化博弈模型。通过建立网络中每个个体的状态层和策略层,对流行病疫苗接种策略进行进化博弈分析。首先,在传统SIR模型的基础上,考虑疫苗接种效果、政府补贴率、治疗贴现率、疫苗接种成本和治疗成本等多种因素。我们充分分析了影响疫苗接种的各种危险因素。在策略层,我们引入了一种新的中立策略。然后,分析了各策略的个体比例和博弈收益,并利用平均场理论建立了基于该模型的动态方程。仿真结果表明,在网络演化稳定的情况下,为了增加接种个体的数量,应提高疫苗接种的有效性,降低疫苗接种的成本。对于政府决策而言,选择合适的疫苗接种成本决定了网络是否向疫苗接种策略演进。

Blockchain Adoption Time of Shipowners: A Game Theoretic Analysis 船东采用区块链的时间:博弈论分析
Shuyi Pu, J. Lam
With continuous overcapacity in vessel tonnage and slower growth of global trade, shipowners are facing fierce competition and are pushed to look for innovative ways to improve their performance and reduce costs. Blockchain is one of the emerging technologies that has the potential to help shipowners to achieve these goals. This study aims to analyse if and when shipowners would adopt blockchain when facing a request from a big shipper. A game theory model is developed to analyse the optimal adoption time of shipowners. The analytical solutions of the optimal adoption time of each shipowner are obtained in different situations. The numerical analysis reveals that the higher shipping quantity carried by the shipowners, the earlier they would join the blockchain network. Shipowners with very small shipping quantities would be unlikely to adopt blockchain until more than a decade later. It is suggested that blockchain initiators should start with large shipowners when promoting blockchain.
随着船舶吨位持续过剩和全球贸易增长放缓,船东面临着激烈的竞争,并被迫寻求创新方法来提高业绩和降低成本。区块链是一种有潜力帮助船东实现这些目标的新兴技术。本研究旨在分析船东在面对大型托运人的要求时是否以及何时会采用区块链。建立了一个博弈论模型来分析船东的最优采纳时间。得到了不同情况下各船东最优收养时间的解析解。数值分析表明,船东承担的运输量越大,其加入区块链网络的时间越早。船运量非常小的船东在十多年后才可能采用区块链。建议区块链发起者在推广区块链时应从大船东入手。

Equal Pricing or Free Pricing? The Pricing Strategies of B2C Platform 平等定价还是免费定价?B2C平台的定价策略
Hou-ping Tian, Shuang Zheng, Chun-fang Jiang, Chang-xian Liu
B2C platform, who provides unprecedented opportunities to enterprises to directly access to the customers, often has resale channel and direct channel simultaneously. In resale channel it purchases the products from the manufacturer and then resells them to the customers; in direct channel it offers the platform to the manufacturer to sell directly and charges the manufacturer a proportion of fees. Since products sell via both channels, a challenging problem to B2C platform is that when should it implement equal pricing strategy (i.e., the retail price equals to the direct selling price) or free pricing strategy (they set the prices respectively). We compare the pricing strategies by using game-theoretical model. Analyses show two interesting findings: Firstly, equal pricing strategy can mitigate channel conflict; however, it does not necessarily increase B2C platform’s profits. Secondly, the choice of pricing strategy is affected by the customers’ channel preference: B2C platform prefers equal pricing strategy only when customers are resale channel oriented; otherwise it prefers free pricing strategy. However, to the manufacturer, it always prefers free pricing strategy and enjoys the freedom.
B2C平台往往同时拥有转售渠道和直销渠道,为企业直接接触客户提供了前所未有的机会。在转售渠道中,它从制造商那里购买产品,然后转售给客户;在直销渠道中,它为制造商提供直接销售的平台,并向制造商收取一定比例的费用。由于产品是通过两种渠道销售的,B2C平台面临的一个挑战是,它应该在什么时候实施平等定价策略(即零售价格等于直销价格)还是自由定价策略(即他们各自定价)。运用博弈论模型对定价策略进行了比较。分析得出两个有趣的发现:第一,平等定价策略可以缓解渠道冲突;然而,这并不一定会增加B2C平台的利润。其次,定价策略的选择受到消费者渠道偏好的影响:B2C平台只有在消费者以转售渠道为导向时才会选择平等定价策略;否则,它更喜欢免费定价策略。然而,对于制造商来说,它总是倾向于自由定价策略,享受自由。

However, to the manufacturer, it always prefers free pricing strategy and enjoys the freedom.","PeriodicalId":226426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122588809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
