    Optimal investment levels to eliminate inventory inaccuracy in a two-level supply chain
    (Istanbul Technical Univ, 2007) Uçkun, Canan; Karaesmen, Ahmet Fikri; Savaş, Selçuk
    Inventory 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.

    Modeling repair demand in existence of a nonstationary installed base
    (Elsevier B.V., 2023-09) Hekimoğlu, Mustafa; Karlı, Deniz
    Life cycles of products consist of 3 phases, namely growth, maturity, and decline phases. Modeling repair demand is particularly difficult in the growth and decline stages due to nonstationarity. In this study, we suggest respective stochastic models that capture the dynamics of repair demand in these two phases. We apply our theory to two different operations management problems. First, using the moments of spare parts demand, we suggest an algorithm that selects a parametric distribution from the hypergeometric family (Ord, 1967) for each period in time. We utilize the algorithm in a single echelon inventory control problem. Second, we focus on investment decisions of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to extend economic lifetimes of products with technology upgrades. Our results indicate that the second moment is sufficient for growing customer bases, whereas using the third moment doubles the approximation quality of theoretical distributions for a declining customer base. From a cost minimization perspective, using higher moments of demand leads to savings up to 13.6% compared to the single-moment approach. Also, we characterize the optimal investment policy for lifetime extension decisions from risk-neutral and risk-averse perspectives. We find that there exists a critical level of investment cost and installed base size for profitability of lifetime extension for OEMs. From a managerial point of view, we find that a risk-neutral decision maker finds the lifetime extension problem profitable. In contrast, even a slight risk aversion can make the lifetime extension decision economically undesirable.

    Coordination in building an observatory: A case study of Eastern Anatolian Observatory (DAG)
    (SPIE-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2018) Şahmalı, Ali Erkan; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, Onur
    Eastern Anatolian Observatory (DAG) is designed to build on one of the summits of Palandoken Mountains in Erzurum, Turkey, at an altitude of 3,151 meters. The building is under construction since 2015 and expected to be completed in 2020. The building is designed as an integrated building, having operational departments, services, mechanical and electrical infrastructure for observations as well as cleaning and coating units, adjacent to the main observatory building. As one might expect this integration creates serious coordination problems between architect, engineers, telescope, enclosure, and cleaning & coating unit manufacturers. The construction progress of the investment is almost 20%. There are quite an amount of "lessons learned" in this period, and need to be developed by the parties, for their existing and future works. The building has so many challenges such as geological and geographical limitations, environmental and meteorological constraints, engineering and structural considerations, energy efficiency and sustainability, materials used and their performances at these limitations.

    Optimization of wastewater treatment systems for growing industrial parks
    (Elsevier B.V., 2023-12-20) Savun Hekimoğlu, Başak; İşler, Zülal; Hekimoğlu, Mustafa; Burak, Selmin; Karlı, Deniz; Yücekaya, Ahmet; Akpınar, Ersin; Ediger, Volkan Ş.
    Wastewater treatment is one of the crucial functions of industrial parks as wastewater from industrial facilities usually contains toxic compounds that can cause damage to the environment. To control their environmental loads, industrial parks make investment decisions for wastewater treatment plants. For this, they need to consider technical and economic factors as well as future growth projections as substantial construction and operational costs of wastewater treatment plants have to be shared by all companies in an industrial park. In this paper, we consider the long-term capacity planning problem for wastewater treatment facilities of a stochastically growing industrial park. By explicitly modeling randomness in the arrival of new tenants and their random wastewater discharges, our model calculates the future mean and variance of wastewater flow in the industrial park. Mean and variance are used in a Mixed Integer Programming Model to optimize wastewater treatment plant selection over a long planning horizon (30 years). By fitting our first model to empirical data from an industrial park in Turkey, we find that considering the variance of wastewater load is critical for long-term planning. Also, we quantify the economic significance of lowering wastewater discharges which can be achieved by water recycling or interplant water exchange.

    Mikro ölçekli hisselerde anormal fiyat hareketlerinin LSTM ile tahmini
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-08-15) Recal, Füsun; Kayaçetin, Nuri Volkan; Kayahan, İsmail
    Bireysel yatırımcıların karar alma süreçlerinde gözlemlenen aşırı iyimserlik, sürü psikolojisi ve yakın geçmişteki performansa aşırı tepki gibi davranışsal eğilimler dar yatırımcı tabanları ve düşük likiditeleri nedeniyle arbitraj mekanizmasının göreceli olarak zor işlediği mikro ölçekli hisselerin değerlerini makul ekonomik temellerden koparabilir. Bu çalışmada, bu tip davranışsal eğilimlerin hisse fiyatı ve işlem hacmi üzerinde belli örüntüler bırakacağı fikrinden yola çıkılarak, Borsa İstanbul’da işlem gören mikro ölçek hisselerdeki anormal fiyat ayrışmalarını, geçmiş fiyat ve hacim bazlı değişkenler yardımıyla tahmin eden bir LSTM modeli geliştirilmiştir. İncelenen hisselerin yarısından çoğunda modelden elde edilen tahminler gerçekleşen getirilerle pozitif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki içindedir. Sonuçlar, mikro ölçekli hisselerdeki fiyat ayrışmalarının geçmiş fiyat ve hacim verisiyle kısmen de olsa açıklanabildiğini göstermektedir.
