A Profit Maximization Problem of Equipment Rental and Scheduling with Split Services

This study addresses a scheduling problem arising from the “Rent Instead of Buy” business model where rental service platforms rent equipment from suppliers to satisfy customer requests in exchange for a lump-sum payment. Suppliers often implement piecewise linear concave charging policies to encourage longer rental duration. This policy prompts the platform to consolidate service periods into longer rental agreements for lower rental rates, potentially necessitating the splitting of a customer request among multiple facilities. We establish an integer programming model to maximize the platform’s profit, which is equal to the total revenue from serving customers minus the total rental and scheduling costs. To solve the problem, we propose two Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition reformulations and design branch-and-price algorithms accordingly. Furthermore, by exploiting the property of the concave rental cost functions, we derive the optimal structure regarding the start and end times of services, significantly reducing the subproblem’s search space. Numerical experiments based on real-life data validate the efficiency of the designed algorithms compared to commercial solvers and highlight the benefits of split services. Sensitivity analysis reveals that as the rental cost function becomes more segmented, more requests are split-serviced, but the times for splitting a request are seldom more than once.

Effects of perceived risk of COVID-19 on fear among visiting workers: Mediating role of perceived stress.

With the creation of a social distancing policy due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), home visit workers are under mental stress as they are treated as the source of infection for COVID-19. Since door-to-door rental equipment examiners and gas inspectors must perform their duties even in the COVID-19 situation, they are being discriminated against so severely. The purpose of study was to examine the mediating role of perceived stress on the relationship between risk perception and fear. Data was collected data through labor unions among 275 home visiting workers who examine rental home appliance equipment or inspecting gas. On-line survey was conducted to assess COVID-19 risk perception, fear, perceived stress, and demographic characteristics. The data was analyzed using PROCESS Macro (Model 4). The results of the study showed that stress plays an important role in increasing COVID-19 fears when COVID-19 risk perception increases. Meanwhile, it was found that COVID-19 fear decreased when the level of perceived stress decreased. To reduce the impact of COVID-19 risk perception on COVID-19 fears, appropriate educational programs to reduce stress should be developed for home visit workers. Policymakers need to develop online or mobile Infectious disease education programs for COVID-19 risk at work and establish policies to apply legal education.

The availability of a comprehensive and varied range of rental equipment constitutes a strength for the company, however, aspects of customer satisfaction may be influenced by certain factors that have not been implemented optimally. Additionally, rental service companies in Garut have yet to conduct a study on the measurement of the level of service quality provided. The purpose of this research is to measure the level of service quality, map the current service positions provided by the service provider, and determine priority quality attributes to formulate improvement plans to enhance customer satisfaction. The approach used is quantitative descriptive, utilizing service quality dimensions proposed by Grönroos as a reference for organizing quality attributes. The research method consists of three stages: first, the Servqual method is used to determine the gap between expected and perceived services; the ZoT method is employed to map quality attributes, providing an overview of the measured quality attribute positions within tolerance limits; and the AHP method is utilized to prioritize attributes for recommended improvements. The research findings indicate overall satisfaction with the measured service quality. However, four quality attributes have negative gaps and fall outside tolerance limits, indicating suboptimal service. Meanwhile, the largest-weighted quality attributes are prioritized in formulating improvement plans, with the “penyedia jasa cekatan (Tangkas) dalam memberikan solusi ketika terjadi yang tidak diharapkan” (C4.3) being the top priority. The analysis of prioritized quality attributes results in the development of a guide or procedure to facilitate the company in addressing customer complaints.

ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ МЕТОДУ ЛІНІЙНОГО ПРОГРАМУВАННЯ В ПРОЦЕДУРАХ ПЛАНУВАННЯ MRP II

The assimilation of modern approaches to enterprise management in Ukraine is rather slow, contrary to the rapid development of programming tools and informatics in general. Transparency, predictability, implementation of generally recognized management processes contribute to the efficiency of enterprises. The widely known methodology of Manufacturing Resource Planning II (MRP II) can ensure the operation of the enterprise without shortages of materials and equipment. The MRP II standard describes the processes of the management system, which cover all phases of management: planning, organization of activities, accounting and rationing. For these processes, a set of procedures and methods that must be implemented is presented. Taking in account the high demands of MRP II on enterprise organization and computing resources, an attempt was made to improve this process by applying optimization method, such as linear programming, to the central link of the process, which is the formation of the Master Production Shedule. Planners still perform these processes, but in most cases not formalized, so it would be useful to offer them some formalized options for building a Master Production Schedule within the framework of the MRP II methodology. In the MRP II methodology, which is the de facto industry standard, during formation of the Master Production Schedule, in addition to the requirement for the MPS to meet the sales plan, the limitations that should affect the formation of the MPS are, first of all, limitations on the capacities of equipment (work centers) and limitations on the availability of materials, taking into account the duration of the procurement cycles of this or that material. The standard algorithm involves checking the constraints only after the MPS is formed, and if the latter violates some constraints, organizational measures must be taken to correct the situation (such as accelerated delivery of materials or the rental of additional equipment, which incurs additional costs), or the MPS must be redesigned. Instead, the authors suggest taking into account critical limitations already in the process of MPS formation. This is possible thanks to the formulation of constraints within the linear programming problem. In this case, if, for example, equipment capacity limitations are active, the linear programming algorithm from the very beginning distributes the production of product types to earlier planning intervals, smoothing the peak load on the work centers. Several strategies for scheduling manufacturing inventory replenishment are considered, such as replenishment to offset each sale; periodic replenishment; maximum top-ups as much as the limits allow. Proposed template in the form of spreadsheet for a better understanding of MPS construction options.
