Optimizing Sales Forecasting, Inventory, Pricing and Sourcing Decisions
In this thesis we address various factors that contribute both theoretically and practically to mitigating supply demand mismatches. The thesis is composed of three chapters, where each chapter is an independent scientific paper. In the first paper, we dev ...
EPFL2023Frequency domain LPV controller synthesis for a positioning system with uncertain scheduling parameters
Alireza Karimi, Philippe Louis Schuchert
Ever-increasing demands from the industry require better performance out of the same system to achieve a competitive advantage. In systems functioning at different operating points, a fundamental trade-off between robustness and performance can limit the a ...
2023Product assortment and space allocation strategies to attract loyal and non-loyal customers
Ralf Seifert, Anna Timonina-Farkas, Argyro Katsifou
Assortment planning deserves much attention from practitioners and academics due to its direct impact on retailers' commercial success. In this paper we focus on the increasingly popular retail practice to use combined product assortments with both "standa ...
2020Bayesian regression explains how human participants handle parameter uncertainty
Michael Herzog, Jean-Pascal Théodor Pfister, Maya Anna Jastrzebowska, Mattew Pachai
Author summary How do humans make prediction when the critical factor that influences the quality of the prediction is hidden? Here, we address this question by conducting a simple psychophysical experiment in which participants had to extrapolate a parabo ...
2020Optimization of sample size and order size in an inventory model with quality inspection and return of defective items
Rafael Batista, Naoufel Cheikhrouhou
To ensure all products as perfect, inspection is essential, even though it is not possible to inspect all products after producing them like some special type products as plastic joint for the water pipe. In this direction, this paper develops an inventory ...
SPRINGER2018A test of inventory models with permissible delay in payment
Ralf Seifert, Olov Isaksson, Daniel Seifert
Contrary to the long-standing view in the finance literature that firms should maximise payment delays, research in operations management suggests that long payment delays can be suboptimal. In this study, we reconcile these two views by applying a seconda ...
2017Stochastic impulse control with regime-switching dynamics
Optimal product management problems with multiple product generations in continuous time lead to the consideration of dynamic optimal control problems that feature both intervention costs and partially controlled regime shifts. We therefore investigate and ...
Elsevier Science Bv2017Supply Chain Disruption Risk Management
Florian Christopher Matthias Lücker
It is well established that firms are exposed to the risk of supply chain disruptions. Many firms build risk mitigation strategies in order to increase the resilience of their supply chains. In this dissertation we present three essays that study operation ...
EPFL2016Fixed-structure LPV discrete-time controller design with induced l(2)-norm and H-2 performance
A new method for the design of fixed-structure dynamic output-feedback linear parameter-varying (LPV) controllers for discrete-time LPV systems with bounded scheduling parameter variations is presented. Sufficient conditions for the stability, H-2 and indu ...
