Abstract The findings of this research are mostly useful to those who intend to penetrate international “Business to Consumer” markets. One of the key challenges of online businesses is how they manage service quality, ...

Abstract In this paper a replacement-repair model is developed to study a warranty servicing policy for a class of multi-state deteriorating and repairable products based on a computer simulation analysis. In each working ...

One of the best ways to control water shortages in the Central Region of Iran is inter-basin water transfer (IBWT). Efficient decision making on this subject is however a real challenge for the water authorities in Iran. ...

Abstract In this paper, we use both the stochastic dynamic programming and Bayesian inferences concepts to design an optimum-acceptance-sampling-plan policy in quality control environments. To determine the optimum policy ...
