Cost allocations in interval inventory situations: the SOC and Shapley approaches
J. C. Gonçalves-Dosantos, A. Meca, I. Ozcan
Uncertainty in demand and supply conditions poses critical challenges to effective inventory management, especially in collaborative environments. Traditional inventory models, suc…
The Shapley value and the strength of weak players in Big Boss games
Luis A. Guardiola, Ana Meca
Big Boss Games represent a specific class of cooperative games where a single veto player, known as the Big Boss, plays a central role in determining resource allocation and mainta…
HarvestTech agriculture cooperatives: Beneficiaries and compensations
Anjeza Bekolli, Luis A. Guardiola, Ana Meca
Agricultural industries face increasing pressure to optimize efficiency and reduce costs in a competitive and resource-constrained global market. As firms seek innovative ways to e…
Cooperative Agri-Food Export under Minimum Quantity Commitments
Luis A. Guardiola, Behzad Hezarkhani, Ana Meca
International trade can be a profitable business for agri-food communities. However, access to international markets can be costly and thus unattainable for small and medium sized…
On benefits of cooperation under strategic power
M. Gloria Fiestras-Janeiro, Ignacio García-Jurado, Ana Meca +1
We introduce a new model involving TU-games and exogenous structures. Specifically, we consider that each player in a population can choose an element in a strategy set and that, f…
p-additive games: a class of totally balanced games arising from inventory situations with temporary discounts
Ana Meca, Luis A. Guardiola, Andrés Toledo
We introduce a new class of totally balanced cooperative TU games, namely p -additive games. It is inspired by the class of inventory games that arises from inventory situations wi…
Production-Inventory games: a new class of totally balanced combinatorial optimization games
Luis A. Guardiola, Ana Meca, Justo Puerto
In this paper we introduce a new class of cooperative games that arise from production-inventory problems. Several agents have to cover their demand over a finite time horizon and…
Production-inventory games and pmas games: characterizations of the Owen point
Luis A. Guardiola, Ana Meca, Justo Puerto
Production-inventory games were introduced in Guardiola et al. (2007) as a new class of totally balanced combinatorial optimization games. From among all core-allocations, the Owen…
Dynamic Realization Games in Newsvendor Inventory Centralization
M. Dror, Luis A. Guardiola, Ana Meca +1
Consider a set N of n (>1) stores with single-item and single-period nondeterministic demands like in a classic newsvendor setting with holding and penalty costs only. Assume a ris…
Cooperation and profit allocation in distribution chains
Luis A. Guardiola, Ana Meca, Judith Timmer
We study the coordination of actions and the allocation of profit in supply chains under decentralized control in which a single supplier supplies several retailers with goods for…
Unitary Owen points in cooperative lot-sizing models with backlogging
Luis A. Guardiola, Ana Meca, Justo Puerto
Cooperative lot-sizing models with backlogging and heterogeneous costs are studied in Guardiola et al. (2020). In this model several firms participate in a consortium aiming at sat…
Profit allocation in agricultural supply chains: exploring the nexus of cooperation and compensation
Anjeza Bekolli, Luis A. Guardiola, Ana Meca
In this paper, we focus on decentralized agricultural supply chains consisting of multiple non-competing distributors satisfying the demand of their respective markets. These distr…
Allocating the surplus induced by cooperation in distribution chains with multiple suppliers and retailers
Luis A. Guardiola, Ana Meca, Justo Puerto
The coordination of actions and the allocation of profit in supply chains under decentralized control play an important role in improving the profits of retailers and suppliers in…
Cooperation in lot-sizing problems with heterogeneous costs: the effect of consolidated periods
Luis Guardiola, Ana Meca, Justo Puerto
We consider a cooperative game defined by an economic lot-sizing problem with heterogeneous costs over a finite time horizon, in which each firm faces demand for a single product i…
Quid Pro Quo allocations in Production-Inventory games
Luis Guardiola, Ana Meca, Justo Puerto
The concept of Owen point, introduced in Guardiola et al. (2009), is an appealing solution concept that for Production-Inventory games (PI-games) always belongs to their core. The…
