This study considers an E-commerce Platform Supply Chain (EPSC) consisting of a manufacturer and a platform that may provide AI service. The primary purpose of this research is to explore the strategic interaction between different customer service strategies (i.e., Manual or AI service) and different selling modes (i.e., Agency or reselling mode). The research results show that if the manual service sensitivity is relatively high, the manufacturer is more willing to set a higher wholesale price. When the service efficiency attenuation effect of the manual customer towards demand is stronger, AI service would bring about more demand. Additionally, when the service efficiency attenuation effect is stronger, or it is weaker but the AI service efficiency is higher, the EPSC could utilize AI service to obtain more profit under reselling mode. Under agency mode, AI service can benefit the EPSC more when the service effect attenuation coefficient is relatively larger. Last but not least, we find that when the AI service cost coefficient is relatively small, the reselling mode can benefit the EPSC more. Most importantly, compared with manual service, AI service provides the EPSC with a new opportunity to embrace the reselling mode more.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55220,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Industrial Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142241067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most existing maintenance models for balanced systems consider a single failure mode, which is inconsistent with many practical situations involving multiple failure modes. This paper investigates the maintenance optimization problem for a balanced system that consists of two balanced components and a core component. The balanced components deteriorate during operation and a soft failure occurs if one of their deterioration levels exceeds a critical level. The core component is subject to hard failure and the failure rate depends on its age and the balance condition quantified by the deterioration difference between balanced components. Corrective replacement is performed for soft or hard failure, whichever occurs first. If no failure occurs before a decision epoch, one in three actions, including do-nothing, preventive repair, and preventive replacement, should be chosen based on the information of age and deterioration The objective is to determine the optimal maintenance policy that minimizes the long-run average cost rate. The optimization problem is formulated in the semi-Markov decision process (SMDP) framework. A recursive method is employed to assess conditional reliability. A policy-iteration algorithm is developed to obtain the optimal policy.

Furthermore, when a test unit fails, there is often more than one competing risk. In this paper, we assume that all competing risks are independent and follow an exponential distribution depending on the stress level. Under this setup, we present a family of robust estimators based on the density power divergence (DPD), including the classical maximum likelihood estimator as a particular case. We then derive asymptotic and robustness properties of the minimum DPD estimators (MDPDEs). Based on these MDPDEs, estimates of some lifetime characteristics of the product as well as estimates of some cause-specific lifetime characteristics are developed.

The current operation of public passenger transport in a large city with unregulated types of public passenger transport, as seen in developing countries, causes an increase in energy consumption and emissions generation. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to propose a pilot simulation that investigates the direct impact of public passenger transport operations on energy consumption. This will enable the incorporation of multiple variables, such as rim radius, tire characteristics, vehicle weight, road gradient, air density, and drag coefficient, as well as developing countries’ public transport characteristics. The study reveals that frequent stops every 100 m lead to the highest energy consumption due to the continuous acceleration and deceleration that this entails. Conversely, wider stop spacings of 250, 350, 500, and 1,000 m result in progressively reduced energy usage. However, it is crucial to balance efficiency gains with passenger needs and service convenience, emphasizing the importance of tailored planning and optimization strategies in urban transport management. The observed differences in energy consumption across various stop spacings emphasize the need to consider this factor when proposing improvement measures for public transport systems. The current energy consumption estimates account for initial and final speeds only, suggesting that further reductions might be achieved by incorporating additional variables. This comprehensive approach is essential for developing feasible solutions aimed at minimizing energy consumption in public passenger transport. Additionally, future simulations will integrate emission estimation scripts and measures such as lane delineation, the promotion of efficient driving behaviors, and the implementation of robust maintenance plans, which will also be integral to optimizing energy efficiency.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55220,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Industrial Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142151493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An appropriate experimental design method is restricted randomization, which results in split-plot experiments. Empirical models that connect multiple quality characteristics with input variables play a crucial role in robust parameter design for split-plot experiments. At present, many modeling methods typically adopt the single response model for analyzing industrial processes in the split-plot experiments without considering correlation among multiple responses, correlation among whole plots, and uncertainty of model parameters. However, ignoring these issues can lead to poor product or process design. To solve these issues, this paper suggests a novel Bayesian modeling and optimization approach. We first construct a Bayesian multi-response linear mixed-effects model and obtain the posterior distribution for model parameters by employing Bayesian theorem. Then, the Gibbs sampling procedure is employed for the estimation of model parameters. Finally, the overall weighted desirability optimization function meeting the specification is developed to avoid acquiring ideal input settings with outliers.
