- Management Of Novel Projects Under Conditions Of High Uncertainty
- Most R&D projects are confronted with high levels of uncertainty. The management of these projects requires a different approach than the traditional network techniques would prescribe. The project management literature recognises this and offers a series of methods to master uncertainty, in order to extend the domain of application of...

- Ordering Quantity Decisions Considering Uncertainty In Supply-Chain Logistics Operations
- This paper seeks to determine the optimal order amount for the retailer given uncertainty in a supply-chain's logistics network due to unforseeable disruption or various types of defects (e.g. shipping damage, missing parts and misplacing products). Mixture distribution models characterize problems from solitary failures and contingent events causing network to...

- Handling Uncertainty In The Development And Design Of Chemical Processes
- The paper presents a stochastic methodology for handling uncertainty in process development as part of a general framework for batch and continuous process models. The method combines systematic modelling procedures with Hammersley sampling based uncertainty analysis and a range of sample-based sensitivity analysis techniques, used to quantify predicted performance uncertainty...
