    Investment in improved inventory accuracy in a decentralized supply chain
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2008-06) Uçkun, Canan; Karaesmen, Ahmet Fikri; Savaş, Selçuk
    It 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.

    Digital color halftoning
    (IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2005-01) Baqai, F. A.; Lee, J. H.; Agar, A. Ufuk; Allebach, Jan P.
    Digital color halftoning is done to create the perception of a continuous-tone color image using the limited spatiochromatic discrimination capability of the human visual system. Several techniques to perform this task are now available. These techniques are broadly classified into three groups: approaches that characterize the spectral distribution created by a certain combination of colorant dots at a given printer addressable location; dot model based approaches; and empirical tone correction based approaches.
