In their seminal paper Moseley, Niaparast, and Ravi introduced the Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) with holding and backlog costs that models the trade-off between ordering costs, holding costs, and backlog costs in supply chain planning…
The Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) is a classical inventory management problem, that aims to model the trade-off between coordinating orders for multiple commodities (and their cost) with holding costs incurred by meeting demand in…
The Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) deals with optimizing shipments of goods from a supplier to retailers through a shared warehouse. Each shipment involves transporting goods from the supplier to the warehouse, at a fixed cost C,…
In this paper we consider a combination of the joint replenishment problem (JRP) and single machine scheduling with release dates. There is a single machine and one or more item types. Each job has a release date, a positive processing…
The Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) is a fundamental optimization problem in supply-chain management, concerned with optimizing the flow of goods from a supplier to retailers. Over time, in response to demands at the retailers, the…
In modern e-commerce and service operations, firms must jointly manage inventory replenishment and real-time order fulfillment to maximize profit under demand uncertainty. While each component has been studied extensively in isolation,…
This paper considers a combination of the joint replenishment problem with single machine scheduling. There is a single resource, which is required by all the jobs, and a job can be started at time point $t$ on the machine if and only the…
The joint replenishment problem (JRP) is a classical inventory management problem. We consider a natural generalization with outliers, where we are allowed to reject (that is, not service) a subset of demand points. In this paper, we are…
We give new approximation algorithms for the submodular joint replenishment problem and the inventory routing problem, using an iterative rounding approach. In both problems, we are given a set of $N$ items and a discrete time horizon of…
We consider the following two deterministic inventory optimization problems over a finite planning horizon $T$ with non-stationary demands. (a) Submodular Joint Replenishment Problem: This involves multiple item types and a single retailer…
This paper considers using predictions in the context of the online Joint Replenishment Problem with Deadlines (JRP-D). Prior work includes asymptotically optimal competitive ratios of $O(1)$ for the clairvoyant setting and $O(\sqrt{n})$ of…
This paper considers the periodic-review stochastic joint replenishment problem (JRP) under Bookbinder and Tan's static-dynamic uncertainty control policy. According to a static-dynamic uncertainty control rule, the decision maker fixes…
The online joint replenishment problem (JRP) is a fundamental problem in the area of online problems with delay. Over the last decade, several works have studied generalizations of JRP with different cost functions for servicing requests.…
In the online general knapsack problem, an algorithm is presented with an item $x=(s,v)$ of size $s$ and value $v$ and must irrevocably choose to pack such an item into the knapsack or reject it before the next item appears. The goal is to…
We consider an online preemptive scheduling problem where jobs with deadlines arrive sporadically. A commitment requirement is imposed such that the scheduler has to either accept or decline a job immediately upon arrival. The scheduler's…
In the online simple knapsack problem items are presented in an iterative fashion and an algorithm has to decide for each item whether to reject or permanently include it into the knapsack without any knowledge about the rest of the…
We study an online linear programming (OLP) model in which inventory is not provided upfront but instead arrives gradually through an exogenous stochastic replenishment process. This replenishment-based formulation captures operational…
We present a unified framework for minimizing average completion time for many seemingly disparate online scheduling problems, such as the traveling repairperson problems (TRP), dial-a-ride problems (DARP), and scheduling on unrelated…
We introduce and study a class of optimization problems we coin replenishment problems with fixed turnover times: a very natural model that has received little attention in the literature. Nodes with capacity for storing a certain commodity…
We study the online minimum cost bipartite perfect matching with delays problem. In this problem, $m$ servers and $m$ requests arrive over time, and an online algorithm can delay the matching between servers and requests by paying the delay…
