Analysis of batching strategies for multi-item production with yield uncertainty
… can only begin when the order arrives, the yield uncertainty probabilities are fairly large, and the production quantities are typically small. Furthermore, deriving an optimal batch sizing policy is difficult due to the heterogeneity of the job types; each job type has a different demand, …

Simulating a storage-production system with three oilseed crops
… the supply of grains is potentially a higher uncertainty factor than demand, that different configurations of crushing capacity and storage impact the results with significant difference, depending on the demand and supply scenarios even in the near future. Knowing that uncertainty is …

Econometric models of Western Canada crop acreage demand and yield response under risk and uncertainty
… response by decomposing it into acreage and yield responses for Western Canada grains, using aggregate data across provinces for 1961-1995. This study follows a similar study for Manitoba by Mundang (1996). Acreage demands are estimated by employing duality models and allowing risk aversion. …

Comparative Statics Analysis of Some Operations Management Problems
… of the different resources available as demand uncertainty increases? does the firm benefit from an increase in demand uncertainty? how does the vaccine composition change as the yield uncertainty increases?" Using our proposed approach, we establish comparative statics results on how the …

Essays on Global Sourcing under Uncertainty
… explores the impact of exchange-rate and demand uncertainty on sourcing decisions of a multinational firm which engages in global sourcing through capacity reservation contracts. The focus of this essay is cost, which is known to be the main driver of global sourcing practices. We investigate the …

Robust motion planning for autonomous tracked vehicles in deformable terrain
… noise, sensor noise, incorrect model etc. can yield uncertainty in robot's state. Especially for tracked vehicles operating on rough terrain, vehicle slip due to vehicle terrain interaction affects the vehicle system significantly. In such cases, the motion planning of the autonomous vehicle …
