- To Offshore Or Not To Offshore
- Moving production facilities to low-wage countries provides an opportunity for cost reduction, but comes with disadvantages of increased logistic costs and foreign trade barriers. This paper examines the offshoring decision from a network capacity investment perspective. We analyze a firm that manufactures two products to serve two geographically separated markets...

- IPTV: Distribution In Home Networks
- This paper describes home networks as they move to ever-greater sophistication and the technology that makes it possible. To make IPTV, and other Internet services, available throughout the home, a technology must be set in place that is easy to use, simple to install, low-cost, offers high capacity and does...

- Truth Behind Scalability: Technology White Paper
- This paper looks at how carriers can overcome the difficulties in predicting future network capacity requirements by making this question largely obsolete. It shows how scalable router technology enables carriers to make simple, short-term investments in router capacity in line with the actual traffic requirements. Only scalable routers enable capacity...

- Integrated Capacity And Inventory Management With Capacity Acquisition Lead Times
- 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...

- Concept Study: Western Offshore Transmission Grid
- The primary aim of this paper is to perform a high level investigation of the feasibility of developing an offshore high voltage direct current (HVDC) network for the connection of renewable energy sources sited along the western coast of Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, Wales and South-West England which would feed...

- A Merchant Mechanism For Electricity Transmission Expansion
- We propose a merchant mechanism to expand electricity transmission based on long-term Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs). Due to network loop flows, a change in network capacity might imply negative externalities on existing transmission property rights. The system operator thus needs a protocol for awarding incremental FTRs that maximize investors' preferences,...

- On Network Externalities And Productivity Gains
- This paper establishes links between network externalities and productivity gains. These links are obtained by constructing a model of production with network externalities. It will be shown that, given the network externalities, the supply function of the industry will have the shape of increasing returns to the size of the...

- Dynamic Pricing Strategies for Multi-Product Revenue Management Problems
- "Consider a monopolist firm that owns a fixed capacity of a resource that is consumed in the production of multiple products. There is a finite horizon over which the resource must be used, and the firm's problem is to choose a dynamic pricing strategy for each product in order to...

- Integrated Workforce Capacity And Inventory Management Under Temporary Labor Supply Uncertainty
- 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...

- Design of Multi-Echelon Supply Chain Networks Under Demand Uncertainty
- This paper considers the design of multiproduct, multi-echelon supply chain networks. The decisions to be determined include the number, location, and capacity of warehouses and distribution centers to be set up, the transportation links that need to be established in the network, and the flows and production rates of materials....

- Dynamic Pricing Control in Cellular Networks
- This paper presents dynamic pricing control for network Quality of Service (QoS) in cellular networks. Dynamic pricing policies allow the network service providers to charge a cost per time unit depending on the availability of network resources; hence it regulates the arrival rate of calls of service to the network....
