Allocation Approach

One machine sequencing situation is introduced and cooperative games theory is used to allocate cost savings when agents cooperate and gain some cost savings. One machine games is proved to be balanced and have a nonempty core. A new cost allocation, the proportion gain allocation approach, is proposed and proved to give a core allocation for one sequencing games. The results in examples show that the proportion gain allocation approach are fair and reasonable for one machine games.

Reasonable Cost

The formwork and scaffold leasing companies become one of important links in the industry supply chain. The sustainable development of the company requires the alliance and the further cooperation between the leasing companies. This thesis attempts to study how to decrease the alliance cost and to achieve reasonable cost allocation through linear programming and cooperative games in a sense of transportation cost allocation. Furthermore, the thesis puts forward the data processing method of minimizing the ratio difference of cost saving. Based on this study, it can be concluded that the method is more rational for cost allocation.

- In this work we have carried out a study in order to estimate and allocate the costs related to separate waste collection in an inter-municipal area located in the province of Bari (Italy). This analysis promotes the cooperation among municipalities to manage, in an optimal way, the waste collection service. Indeed, according to Italian laws, the municipalities are responsible for organizing the management of municipal waste in accordance with principles of transparency, efficiency, effectiveness and inexpensiveness. For this reason we have built a model of separate waste collection management, highlighting the different cost functions. The total cost of the service has been divided among the individual municipalities using the theory of cooperative games, stressing that local authorities are not interested in paying off more than they would pay if they organized independently. To achieve this goal, we have created a model of aggregation of quantitative information on equipments and specialized personnel (and their costs). The problem of the cost allocation is interpreted as an example of transferable utility games and it is resolved with the technique of Shapley values that are included in the nucleolus of the inter-municipal game. Therefore it is more cost-effective to entrust a single operator with the waste collection for each area or sub domain in order not to double service costs. This work on waste management can integrate the studies and applications of the theory of cooperative games in the environmental field.Key words: Separate waste collection, Shapley values, cost allocation.JEL classifications: Q53.Parole chiave: Raccolta differenziata, valore di Shapley, allocazione dei costi.
