Technologies and lifestyles have been increasingly geared toward consumerism in recent years. Accordingly, it is both the price and the delivery time that matter most to the ultimate customers of commercial enterprises. Consequently, the…
This article addresses the pump-scheduling optimization problem to enhance real-time control of real-world water distribution networks (WDNs). Our primary objectives are to adhere to physical operational constraints while reducing energy…
Supplier selection and order allocation (SSOA) are key strategic decisions in supply chain management which greatly impact the performance of the supply chain. Although, the SSOA problem has been studied extensively but less attention paid…
We consider a dynamic assortment selection problem where a seller has a fixed inventory of $N$ substitutable products and faces an unknown demand that arrives sequentially over $T$ periods. In each period, the seller needs to decide on the…
While LLMs excel at single-turn generation, they struggle with long-horizon, multi-turn interactions. Offline reinforcement learning (RL) offers a scalable approach, yet its performance hinges on the availability and quality of multi-turn…
Product reuse and recovery is an efficient tool that helps companies to simultaneously address economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability. This paper presents a novel problem for stock management of reusable products in a…
Supply chain management (SCM) involves coordinating the flow of goods, information, and finances across various entities to deliver products efficiently. Effective inventory management is crucial in today's volatile and uncertain world.…
In the realm of Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) systems, the forecasting of rider demand is a cornerstone for operational decision-making and system optimization. Traditional forecasting methodologies primarily yield point estimates, thereby…
Accurate demand forecasting is crucial for optimizing supply chain management. Traditional methods often fail to capture complex patterns from seasonal variability and special events. Despite advancements in deep learning, interpretable…
Inventory management in warehouses directly affects profits made by manufacturers. Particularly, large manufacturers produce a very large variety of products that are handled by a significantly large number of retailers. In such a case, the…
Supply chain transportation operations often account for a large proportion of product total cost to market. Such operations can be optimized by solving the Logistics Service Network Design Problem (LSNDP), wherein a logistics service…
