Abuse of channel incentives by a manufacturer’s authorized retailers often encourages gray markets to emerge which affects supply chain profit as well as manufacturer’s brand image, profit loss and cannibalization of ...

There is sufficient empirical evidence that project performance continues to be problematic despite over six decades of research and practice attention. Theories of project management remain weak while research adheres to ...

Humanitarian aid distribution centres (HADCs) are essential for bridging the gap between stranded beneficiaries and relief aid during a disaster. We incorporate three delivery aid plans (DAPs), namely prioritization by ...

This article presents optimal Bayesian accelerated life test plans for series systems under Type-I censoring scheme. First, the component lifetimes are assumed to follow independent Weibull distributions. The scale parameters ...

Motivated by the mixture of distribution hypothesis (MDH) and sequential arrival of information hypothesis (SAIH), we investigate the relationship between intraday returns and volumes using derivatives data from the emerging ...

Considering the adverse impact of used products in the environment, government has come forward to provide incentive to encourage remanufacturing. However, the importance of government incentives in remanufacturing systems ...

Supplier selection is increasingly seen as a strategic issue for any firm. In the literature, a variety of supplier selection criteria and methodologies have been reported. However, in this article, to find the most ...

Player rankings are of concern to sports authorities, the players and the enthusiasts and with commercialization of sports it is even more important to the investors. New variables as well as refinement of existing variables ...

In this paper we propose a test statistic for testing exponentiality versus L-class of life distributions. This test is based on an estimate of a functional of the cdf which discriminates between the exponential and L-family.

We derive an inequality in terms of moments of Bivariate IFR distributions. We then show that this inequality holds good in a largere class of bivariate ageing distributions such as NBU,NBUE nad DMRL
