In a manufacturing environment with volatile demand, inventory management can be coupled with dynamic capacity adjustments for handling the fluctuations more effectively. This paper considers the problem of integrated capacity and inventory management under non-stationary stochastic demand and flexible capacity uncertainty. The capacity planning problem is investigated from the workforce...
In this paper we consider a make-to-stock production system whose permanent production capacity can be increased temporarily by making use of some contingent resources, while this capacity acquisition has a constant lead time associated with it. We present a model where the capacity management problem is handled in an integrated...

Adiabatic calorimetry at low temperature is the classical method for heat capacity measurement, from which many other thermodynamic properties such as enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy can be calculated. These data are of significance in theoretical study, application development, and industrial production of a compound. In the present paper,...
Companies with strong prospects for future growth face the related challenge of finding additional capacity to meet increasing future demand. Since these projects could require seven or eight figure budgets and extended lead times, a near term option might be to contract for additional capacity even though this consumes a...
Although they focus on the big picture, high level supply chain models cannot gloss over the capacity of production nodes to meet production allocations. Capacity is not simply a reflection of equipment production rates. Short runs drive down utilization by increasing total time lost to changeovers. Multistage plants require coordination...
