Minimising bins in transmission systems

European Journal of Operational Research , Volume 115 - Issue 2 p. 380- 391

This paper deals with the problem of minimising the transmission cost in an EDI system and proves the optimality of a policy which minimizes the slack of partial sums under conditions with practical interpretations. This policy is shown to be useful as a heuristic in more general cases.
