In many situations, System Dynamics modelers have to capture attributes of items that are tracked in an aging chain. The outflow of items from the stocks in these chains usually depends on the attributes that are tracked ...

The management of oil-product pipelines represents a critical task in the daily operation of petroleum supply chains. Efficient computational tools are needed to perform this activity in a reliable and cost-effective manner. ...

Assuming a fixed total R&D budget, the product pipeline management (PPM) problem has two parts: (1) Which and how many projects should be initiated? (2) Which projects should continue to be invested in or terminated? We ...

New product development (NPD) projects are typically managed through a series of screens, or gates, where ideas compete for resources. Ideas are carved into projects, and these projects are reviewed, and approved or ...

The management of oil-product pipelines represents a critical task in the daily operation of petroleum supply chains. Efficient computational tools are needed to schedule pipeline operations in a reliable and cost-effective ...

In many situations, System Dynamics modelers have to capture attributes of items tracked in an aging chain by means of a co-flow. This study presents an application of co-flows in aging chains: A co-flow that enables the ...
