However, new operations research offers a promising solution to this problem. The study finds that using text message reminders that include an additional line of text indicating a potentially long wait for the next available appointment can significantly reduce no-shows by a factor of 28.6%. The intervention, called waits framing, was found to be more effective among patients who were more sensitive to wait times and when the information in the message was novel and credible. The study also uncovered the mechanism underlying the intervention. Specifically, the waits framing messages increased the perceived cost of missing an appointment, leading to a reduction in queue abandonment. This study provides insights into how behavioral science can improve service operations and help tackle challenges in healthcare delivery.","PeriodicalId":19546,"journal":{"name":"Oper.

By analyzing a large data set of customer receipts from a grocery store in Beirut, the authors develop a regression model that estimates traffic at a shelf based on its location and the “attraction” from products allocated nearby. The traffic model is embedded within a mixed-integer nonlinear program, which they solve via specialized linear approximations. For the store in Beirut, a 65% improvement in impulse profit is anticipated, and the location of products is found to be significantly more important in driving store-wide traffic than the relative shelf-space allocation.","PeriodicalId":19546,"journal":{"name":"Oper.

In many applications, it is observed that demand often depends on certain asset prices in the financial market. This calls for a model that jointly optimizes the production decision along with a risk hedging policy, using the latter to compensate for loss of profit in scenarios of weak demand. In “Production Planning with Risk Hedging under a Conditional Value at Risk Objective,” Wang and Yao develop an integrated production and risk hedging model, where the risk hedging strategy is derived in explicit form and the production quantity is solved as a concave maximization problem. Furthermore, a complete characterization of the efficient frontier is provided, and the improvement over the production-only decision is quantified.","PeriodicalId":19546,"journal":{"name":"Oper.

In “Online Passenger Flow Control in Metro Lines,” the authors investigate the impact of online decision making on the value of passenger flow control solution methodologies. The authors formulate the problem as a stochastic dynamic program with a fairness (fill rate) constraint and exploit Blackwell's approachability theorem and Fenchel duality to characterize the attainable service level of each o-d pair. They use these insights to develop online policies that can enable more passengers boarding a train (efficiency) as well as ensure equitable service level (fairness) provided to each o-d pair. Numerical experiments on a set of transit data from Beijing show that this approach performs well compared with existing benchmarks in the literature.","PeriodicalId":19546,"journal":{"name":"Oper.

We consider the issue of a market maker acting at the same time in the lit and dark pools of an exchange. The exchange wishes to establish a suitable make–take fee policy to attract transactions on its venues. We first solve the stochastic control problem of the market maker without the intervention of the exchange. Then, we derive the equations defining the optimal contract to be set between the market maker and the exchange. This contract depends on the trading flows generated by the market maker’s activity on the two venues. In both cases, we show existence and uniqueness, in the viscosity sense, of the solutions of the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations associated to the market maker and exchange’s problems. We finally design an actor–critic algorithm inspired by deep reinforcement learning methods, enabling us to approximate efficiently the optimal controls of the market maker and the optimal incentives to be provided by the exchange.","PeriodicalId":19546,"journal":{"name":"Oper.

In “Inventory Routing Problem Under Uncertainty”, Cui et al. develop a novel framework for the uncertain inventory routing problem and allow ambiguity in the probability distribution of each retailer's uncertain demand. Adopting a service-level viewpoint, they minimize the risk of uncertain inventory levels violating a prespecified acceptable range. They quantify that risk using a new decision criterion, the service violation index, that accounts for how often and how severely the inventory requirement is violated. The solutions proposed here are adaptive in the sense that they vary with the realization of uncertain demand. They provide algorithms to solve the problem exactly and then, demonstrate the superiority of their solutions by comparing them with several benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":19546,"journal":{"name":"Oper.

The authors approximate this control problem with a Brownian control problem. They solve the Brownian problem explicitly by exploiting the solution to a Riccati equation and propose a policy for the manufacturing system based on its solution. The proposed policy is a two-sided barrier policy. Outsourcing and idling processes are used to maintain the workload above the lower and below the upper barriers, respectively. Dynamic prices are used to control the workload process between the two barriers. The authors show using a simulation study that the optimality gap of the proposed policy is small, and their proposed policy outperforms a long list of static pricing policies. Moreover, the gap between their proposed policy and the static pricing policies increases with the server utilization and the outsourcing cost.","PeriodicalId":19546,"journal":{"name":"Oper.

Yet, despite half a century of research and the training of millions of project managers, many projects are delivered late. This is typically attributed to Parkinson’s Law, meaning the expansion of work to fill available time. However, in “Work More Tomorrow: Resolving Present Bias in Project Management,” Shi, Hall, and Cui identify and demonstrate the alternative explanation of time-inconsistent behavior, that is, present bias. Under present bias, a decision maker values immediate costs and rewards more than future ones. The authors show that this behavioral issue is responsible for procrastination by project workers and overall project delay. Borrowing concepts from popular employee savings schemes, they develop an incentive scheme that mitigates present bias and significantly enhances project performance, as measured by on-time frequency and expected project tardiness.","PeriodicalId":19546,"journal":{"name":"Oper.
