Yayın Optimal investment levels to eliminate inventory inaccuracy in a two-level supply chain(Istanbul Technical Univ, 2007) Uçkun, Canan; Karaesmen, Ahmet Fikri; Savaş, SelçukInventory inaccuracy is a major problem in supply chains. RFID technology is anticipated to alleviate this problem at the expense of the required hardware and software investment. For a supply chain consisting of single supplier and multiple warehouses, we investigate the optimal levels of investment in order to decrease inventory inaccuracy. The analysis yields in-sights on the relative benefits of RFID implementation depending on factors such as demand and inaccuracy variability, financial parameters and supply chain structure.Yayın Facility placement with sub-aisle design in an existing layout(Elsevier Science BV, 2009-08-16) Zhang, Min; Savaş, Selçuk; Batta, Rajan; Nagi, RakeshIn this paper, we consider the integration of facility placement in an existing layout and the configuration of one or two connecting sub-aisles. This is relevant, for example, when placing a new machine/department on a shop floor with existing machines/departments and an existing aisle structure. Our work is motivated by the work of Savas et al. [Savas, S., Batta, R., Nagi, R., 2002. Finite-size facility placement in the presence of barriers to rectilinear travel. Operations Research 50 (6), 1018-1031], that considered the optimal planar placement of a finite-size facility in the presence of existing facilities. Our work differs from theirs in that we consider material handling to be restricted to the aisle structure. We do not allow the newly placed facility to overlap with existing facilities or with the aisle structure. Facilities are rectangular and travel is limited to new or existing aisles. We show that there are a finite number of candidate placements for the new facility. Algorithms are developed to find the optimal placement and the corresponding configurations for the sub-aisles. Complexity of the solution method is analyzed. Also, a numerical example is provided to explore the impact of the number of sub-aisles added.Yayın Investment in improved inventory accuracy in a decentralized supply chain(Elsevier Science BV, 2008-06) Uçkun, Canan; Karaesmen, Ahmet Fikri; Savaş, SelçukIt is known that inaccurate inventory records can lead to profit losses in a supply chain. Inventory records may not be correct due to various reasons such as transaction errors, misplacement, shrinkage, etc. In order to eliminate inventory inaccuracy, companies may invest in new information technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID). In this paper, we consider a supply chain consisting of a retailer (distributor) and a supplier. We assume a single-period newsvendor-type setting where the retailer purchases the items from the supplier and distributes them to the regional warehouses. The paper focuses on the problem of finding the optimal investment levels that maximize profit by decreasing inventory inaccuracy. The optimal level of investment is examined both for the centralized and the decentralized systems under two scenarios: inventory sharing between the warehouses is allowed and not allowed. The coordination problem is also considered for both scenarios. Finally, several extensions of the model are considered: asymmetric warehouse parameters, demand and inventory inaccuracy correlation and imperfect RFID implementation.
