Quality Improvement of Repair Interventions on Built Heritage KU Leuven
The need for the development of a specific quality management approach for built heritage is based on the complexity and specificity of historic buildings. The main aim of the research was therefore the development of a specific quality management approach for built heritage. The concepts that establish the approach were developed based on an understanding of the aim, the conservation principles and the challenges of heritage preservation. They ...
A note on the single-vendor single-buyer integrated inventory problem with quality improvement and lead time reduction Ghent University
In a recent paper, Ouyang et al. (2006) study a vendor-buyer integrated inventory model with quality-related issues and controllable lead time. It is assumed that the production process is imperfect and can be improved by extra capital investment. Moreover, it is assumed that the lead time is controllable, and reducible by adding additional crash costs. Basically, the trade-off between investing in quality improvement or investing in lead time ...
A note on the single-vendor single-buyer integrated inventory problem with quality improvement and lead time reduction - minimax distribution-free approach Ghent University
Abstract: In a recent paper, Ouyang et al. propose a minimax distribution-free approach to investigate the impact of investing in quality improvement and lead time reduction on the integrated vendor-buyer inventory model with partial backorders. However, the particular form of the investment function that they use to represent the cost of investments in quality improvement does not represent actual practice in many industries. Hence, we develop ...
