Optimal capacity expansion in the presence of capacity options

Decision Support Systems, 2005
This paper studies optimal long-term electric power capacity strategies with capacity options. Gencos (Generation Companies) can sign contracts with Discos (Distribution Companies), where such contracts take the form of capacity options that may or may not be executed by Discos at some prespecified maturation date.

Capacity Optimization Planning System (CAPS)

Interfaces, 1999
IBM's capacity optimization planning system (CAPS) is a decision-support system based on linear programming for strategic planning of semiconductor manufacturing capacity. CAPS finds the volume mix of products to maximize profit, constrained by the existing tool capacity, or identifies the tool capacity required to manufacture a specified mix of ...

Capacity Optimization in Cellular Networks

2002
In this chapter, the framework of capacity optimization proposed in the last chapter is extended to multimedia cellular networks; and two main aspects of cellular networks are analyzed. One of the said aspects is the user mobility; while the second aspect is the soft capacity of cells in DS-CDMA based cellular networks, that needs to be taken into ...

Optimal capacity expansion under uncertainty

Advances in Applied Probability, 1987
Capacity expansion is the process of providing new facilities over time to meet rising demand. A general mathematical model of this process is presented, incorporating uncertain future demand (including the possibility of ‘surprises’), non-zero lead times and random cost overruns.

Optimal Nodal Capacity Procurement

2015
The paper demonstrates the application of mathematical optimization (non-linear, mixed integer problem) to solve the transportation problem for a multi-node capacity market. Proposed the model that assures adequate cost minimizing generating resources selection and prices capacity within every node on the basis of price bids of market participants and ...

Optimal Capacities of Production Facilities

Management Science, 1968
This paper presents a general cost model and the methods of solution for determining the optimum combination of capacities of the production facilities of a steady-state production system. The model is applied to the practical problem of finding the optimum combination of capacities of the production facilities of an oxygen production and inventory ...

Capacity optimization of femtocell networks

2013 IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communications and Networking (SECON), 2013
Femtocells are short-range devices deployed to provide increased coverage and capacity in a small area. They offer a way to increase the capacity of a cellular network by relaying cellular traffic to the wired network. In this paper, we address the problem of optimizing the overall capacity of a femtocell network, as defined by Shannon's law and ...

Optimizing a Restaurant’s Seating Capacity

Cornell Hotel and Restaurant Administration Quarterly, 2002
In general, restaurant tables that can't be pushed together to serve large parties are superior to combinable tables because of the loss of productive time that occurs when combinable tables are placed “on hold” while awaiting adjacent tables to become available. ; Thompson25_Optimizing_restaurant_seating.pdf: 4808 downloads, before Aug. 1, 2020.

Airport capacity: representation, estimation, optimization

IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 1993
A major goal of air traffic management is to strategically control the flow of traffic so that the demand at an airport meets but does not exceed the operational capacity. This work considers the major aspects of airport operational capacities relevant to the strategic management of air traffic.

Yard Capacity Optimization [PDF]

Optimizing operational plans of a classification yard is very important for freight management as it helps fully utilize the limited resources of its rail network. Typical yard planning performance measures are the number of inbound/outbound trains received/assembled, the number of blocks made, the number of cars handled, or the expected time in system
