arXiv:2606. 17269v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In skill-constrained production-inventory systems, the qualified human capacity available tomorrow depends on training decisions made today: production requires certified workers, certifications decay unless maintained, and training consumes the same scarce worker hours that production needs now.
arXiv:2606. 17266v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Production planning increasingly has to treat workforce capability as a decision variable: certifications lapse when skills are not maintained, new products require skills the current workforce does not hold, and reskilling competes for the same worker hours needed for production.
arXiv:2606. 30650v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Educational support services often face a qualified-capacity problem: staff time is scarce, qualifications decay, new support needs can appear before anyone is prepared for them, and training consumes the same hours needed by current students.
arXiv:2607. 11725v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction moves most building work into module factories, whose production floor operates as a flexible job shop.
arXiv:2607. 27626v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safety-critical IoT systems such as industrial closed-loop control, V2X coordination, and remote teleoperation require every sensor's peak Age of Information (peak AoI, also abbreviated PAoI) to stay below a hard per-slot deadline, not merely an average bound.
arXiv:2607. 10362v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models are trained to predict future states in a learned representation and are then deployed inside a planner that selects actions by simulating them forward.
arXiv:2608. 02343v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many operational problems are constrained sequential decision processes with large, combinatorial action spaces and interdependent feasibility constraints.
arXiv:2606. 25068v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Online time-series forecasters receive labels only after horizon-dependent delays, while every adaptation step spends limited compute.
arXiv:2607. 16891v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A truckload carrier must accept or reject each load tender within seconds.
arXiv:2608. 04669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many social services assign scarce resources, such as housing assistance or hospital interventions, to people who arrive one at a time: each arrival must receive a decision immediately, and the long-run usage of every resource must stay within its capacity.
arXiv:2608. 14650v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing adaptive-inference and world-action-model systems use cheap-stage outputs or predicted futures to allocate additional computation.
arXiv:2607. 23434v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unexpected shocks recur in global operations, requiring decision rules that adapt as market and operating conditions change.
arXiv:2607. 18530v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Supplier lead time forecasting is a central input to material requirements planning, inventory optimization, and supply chain risk management.
