Four types of costs are considered: a fixed cost of an order and each outdated item; age-dependent costs of an item (i.e., holding and salvage costs), given by a function of its remaining shelf life; and a delay cost of a backlogged demand unit, which is a function of its delay duration. Applying the supplementary variable technique, we obtain the joint probability-density function of the number of items in the system and the remaining time and thereby obtain the optimal parameters minimizing the long-run average total cost. Numerical experiments show that supply chain profits are enhanced by integrating the age components into replenishment decisions, and ignoring the shelf age- and delay-dependent costs may result in a substantial loss (up to 25%). It further appeared that estimating the lead-time distribution by an exponential one is significantly more costly, in particular as the c.v. differs from 1. In contrast, an exponential shelf life may provide a good heuristic for other shelf-life distributions.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac. J. Oper.

While the buyer faces the problem of creating the right attribute weights, the bidders have difficulty in adjusting the attribute values in each round. In this paper, we present an iterative multi-attribute reverse auction mechanism based on integrated data envelopment analysis (DEA) and best–worst method (BWM) with an objective of reducing the intervention of the buyer in the determination of the winner and also easing up the preference elicitation process. Unlike the typical scoring auctions, the proposed mechanism does not require the buyer to estimate the characteristics of the participating sellers in order to determine the optimal scoring function. As there will be no other intervention from the buyer during the winner determination process, the proposed method makes the procurement process impartial and corruption-free. Besides solving the buyer’s problem, the proposed mechanism is also associated with an optimal bid determination method (OBDM) to assist the sellers in formulating improvised bids in iterative rounds of the auction. Simulation experiments show that the proposed OBDM benefits both the buyer and sellers. For the buyer, it provides higher expected utility and attribute values as per his preferences; for the seller, it gives a better expected profit and a higher probability of winning.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac.

In some situations, the observed Euclidean distances may contain large errors or even missing values. In such cases, the order of the distances is far more important than their magnitude. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) is then to deal with this problem by taking use of the ordinal information. The challenge of NMDS is to tackle the large number of ordinal constraints on distances (for [Formula: see text] points, this will be of [Formula: see text]), which will slow down existing numerical algorithms. In this paper, we propose an ordinal weighted Euclidean distance matrix model for NMDS. By designing an ordinal weighted matrix, we get rid of the large number of ordinal constraints and tackle the ordinal constraints in a soft way. We then apply our model to image ranking. The key insight is to view the image ranking problem as NMDS in the kernel space. We conduct extensive numerical test on two state-of-the-art datasets: FG-NET aging dataset and MSRA-MM dataset. The results show the improvement of the proposed approach over the existing methods.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac. J. Oper.

The most commonly used performance evaluation method — the cross-efficiency evaluation method — seldom considers the role of MOs as a reference point. According to the prospect theory, decision-makers underestimate the benefits that exceed the reference point; they also exaggerate the losses that fall below the reference point. This irrational psychology is more obvious when evaluating the performance evaluation of peers. As such, this paper proposes a cross-efficiency evaluation method based on prospect theory, which takes MOs as a reference point from a peer perspective. First, taking MOs as reference points, a decision-making unit (DMU) chooses a set of weights for each peer, in order to maximize or minimize the prospects of the peer, according to the benevolent or aggressive attitude of the DMU. In order to improve the adaptability of the method, the precise number of MOs is further extended to be an interval number. Finally, the relationship between models, which are based on precise MOs and interval MOs, is illustrated by propositions. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the applications of the proposed cross-efficiency evaluation method.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac. J. Oper.

We consider a three-tier supply chain consisting of one supplier, one transporter and one retailer with centralized and decentralized decision-making. Considering the factors of RFID tag cost and product freshness, two scenarios — with RFID and without RFID — are analyzed. In the decentralized supply chain, a revenue-sharing contract is established to explore each partner’s decisions on ordering quantity, wholesale price and profits. The results show that (1) the tag cost of RFID has different effects on the pricing decisions, ordering quantity and profit of an FPSC, and if the amount of transportation time compression increases, the range of the tag cost’s boundary value will be wider when adopting RFID technology; (2) when the members of an FPSC choose the optimal wholesale price, optimal initial fare and appropriate revenue-sharing coefficient, the FPSC can achieve a win–win result; and (3) the amount of transportation time compression has a positive correlation with the expected profit of the supplier, transporter and retailer but has a negative correlation with loss of the product.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac.

Taking the hospitality and tourism industries as typical examples, this paper considers a platform service supply chain, where a leading hotel is responsible for offline service, and a following platform is in charge of pricing, online service, and advertising investment. Three decision modes (i.e., decentralized, cost-sharing, and integrated) for the platform service supply chain are investigated. We derive the optimal service levels for the hotel and the platform, advertising investment, and retail price in each mode. Our analyses indicate that perceived service quality and brand image vary over time, and they gradually converge to a steady-state. The cost-sharing mode can be achieved if the hotel can obtain enough profit per unit. Once the cost-sharing mode is achieved, it can help improve perceived service quality and brand image, which further increases both the hotel and the platform’s profits. However, the integrated mode generates the best-perceived service quality, brand image, supply chain performance, and the lowest price.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac. J. Oper.
