Maximizing the lender’s profit: profit-oriented loan default prediction based on a weighting model Ann. Oper. Res. (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-13
Abstract Loan default risk prediction is necessary in credit risk assessment, as it helps financing institutions and investors make decisions. However, existing prediction models focus more on using individual classifiers to obtain higher prediction accuracy, which is far from the core purpose of business (i.e., maximizing profit) and leaves opportunities to explore profit-oriented and interpretable

A strategic approach to bankruptcy problems based on the TAL family of rules Ann. Oper. Res. (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-11
Abstract This paper analyzes bankruptcy problems from a strategic perspective using the parameterized TAL family of bankruptcy rules. We construct a strategic game where every player selects a parameter, and the rule from the TAL family that corresponds to the mean of the chosen parameters is used to divide the estate. We prove the existence of Nash equilibria for this strategic game. In particular

Abstract This study examines the effects of intertwining and circularity on the design of resilient and viable sourcing and recovery strategies in supply chains. We first construct a case study where the supply chains of three industries (i.e., automotive, healthcare, and electronics) frame an intertwined supply network (ISN). Through a discrete-event simulation model developed in anyLogistix, we examine

The third party logistics provider freight management problem: a framework and deep reinforcement learning approach Ann. Oper. Res. (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-26
Abstract In many large manufacturing companies, freight management is handled by a third-party logistics (3PL) provider, thus allowing manufacturers and their suppliers to focus on the production of goods rather than managing their delivery. Provided their pivotal supply chain role, in this work we propose a general framework for what we term as “the 3PL freight management problem” (3PLFMP). Our framework

Abstract We investigate the seemingly untouched yet the most general parallel identical k-stage flow-shops scheduling, in which we are given an arbitrary number of indistinguishable k-stage flow-shops and a set of jobs each to be processed on one of the flow-shops, and the goal is to schedule these jobs to the flow-shops so as to minimize the makespan. Here the number k of stages is a fixed constant

The superposition of two independent Markovian arrival processes (MAPs) is also a Markovian arrival process of which the Markovian representation is given as the Kronecker sum of the transition rate matrices of the component processes. The moments of stationary intervals of the superposition can be obtained by differentiating the Laplace transform (LT) given in terms of the transition rate matrices
