An analytical method for the performance evaluation of echelon kanban control systems
(2005)We develop a general purpose analytical approximation method for the performance evaluation of a multi-stage, serial, echelon kanban control system. The basic principle of the method is to decompose the original system ... -
Analyzing the Greek renewable energy sector: A Data Envelopment Analysis approach
(2012)This paper applies a bootstrapped Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) formulation aiming to evaluate the financial performance of the firms operating in the Greek renewable energy sector. With the use of financial ratios in a ... -
European Regional Convergence Revisited: A Weighted Least Squares Approach
(2009)A plethora of past studies have concluded that unconditional beta-convergence is present in a broad sample of regions, implying that poor regions grow faster than rich ones. All these econometric studies tend to overlook ... -
Fixed task zone chaining: worker coordination and zone design for inexpensive cross-training in serial CONWIP lines
(2012)This work introduces a new canonical model of worker cross-training, called a Fixed Task Zone Chain (FTZC), as a special type of zone-based cross-training and develops a methodology to employ it in U-shaped CONstant Work ... -
Growth, integration, and regional disparities in the European Union
(2005)In this paper we challenge the ability of the conventional methods initiated by Barro and Sala-i-Martin in the early 1990s to detect actual convergence or divergence trends across countries or regions and suggest an ... -
MNCM: A Critical Node Matching Approach to Scheduling for Input Buffered Switches With No Speedup
(2009)In this paper, we use fluid model techniques to establish new results for the throughput of input-buffered switches. Dai and Prabhakar have shown that any maximal size matching algorithm with speedup of 2 achieves 100% ... -
Modelling Regional Welfare Efficiency Applying Conditional Full Frontiers
(2011)This paper demonstrates an evaluation of welfare policies and regional allocation of public investment using the recent developments in efficiency analysis and statistical inference. Specifically, the efficiency of the ... -
Spatial variations of Greek manufacturing employment growth: The effects of specialization and international trade
(2010)This research analyses the effects of international trade, relative specialization and regional industrial structure on Greek regional employment growth over the 1995-2003 period. For this purpose, it employs trade-adjusted ...
