  摘要：Firms in service and make-to-order manufacturing industries often quote lead times and prices to customers. We define uniform quotation mode (UQM) as the strategy where a firm offers a single lead time and price quotation, and differentiated quotation mode (DQM) is where a firm offers a menu of lead times and prices for customers to choose from. Both modes are followed in practice. Firms should determine which is more profitable. We classify customers into two groups: lead time sensitive (LS) ...
• Design of Flexible Multi-Stage Processes AI翻译

  摘要：Faced with demand uncertainty across multiple product lines, many companies have recourse to flexible capacities which can process different products in order to better balance the trade-off between capacity utilization and cost efficiency. Many studies demonstrated the potential benefit of using flexible capacity at the aggregate level by treating a whole plant or a whole process as a single stage. This paper extends these analyses by studying the benefits of flexible capacity while consideri...
• How Provider Selection and Management Contribute to Successful Innovation Outsourcing: An Empirical Study at Siemens AI翻译
  作者：Cui, Zhijian; Loch, Christoph; Grossmann, Bernd; He, Ru

  摘要：It is becoming increasingly common to involve external technology providers in developing new technologies and new products. Two important phases involved in working with technology vendors are vendor selection and vendor management. Because for both steps theory development of key decision guidelines is still immature, we use detailed case studies of 31 innovation outsourcing projects at Siemens to develop grounded theory on provider selection criteria and on project management success driver...
• Container Scheduling: Complexity and Algorithms AI翻译

  摘要：We consider the transport of containers through a fleet of ships. Each ship has a capacity constraint limiting the total number of containers it can carry and each ship visits a given set of ports following a predetermined route. Each container has a release date at its origination port, and a due date at its destination port. A container has a size 1 or size 2; size 1 represents a 1 TEU (20-foot equivalent unit) and size 2 represents 2 TEUs. The delivery time of a container is defined as the ...
• Competitive and Collaborative Quality and Warranty Management in Supply Chains AI翻译
  作者：Dai, Yue; Zhou, Sean X.; Xu, Yifan

  摘要：Product quality and product warranty coverage are two important and closely related operational decisions. A longer warranty protection period can boost sales, but it may also result in dramatically increased warranty cost, if product quality is poor. To investigate how these two decisions interact with each other and influence supply chain performance, we develop a single-period model with a supplier that provides a product to an original equipment manufacturer, which in turn sells it to cust...
• Revenue Management with End-of-Period Discounts in the Presence of Customer Learning AI翻译
  作者：Ovchinnikov, Anton; Milner, Joseph M.
  作者单位：University of Virginia; University of Toronto
  摘要：Consider a firm that sells identical products over a series of selling periods (e.g., weekly all-inclusive vacations at the same resort). To stimulate demand and enhance revenue, in some periods, the firm may choose to offer a part of its available inventory at a discount. As customers learn to expect such discounts, a fraction may wait rather than purchase at a regular price. A problem the firm faces is how to incorporate this waiting and learning into its revenue management decisions. To add...
• An Analysis of the Eco-Efficiency of Remanufactured Personal Computers and Mobile Phones AI翻译
  作者：Quariguasi-Frota-Neto, Joao; Bloemhof, Jacqueline
  作者单位：University of Bradford; Wageningen University & Research
  摘要：Remanufacturing, long perceived as an environmentally friendly initiative, is supported by a number of governments. Yet, the assumption that remanufacturing is desirable to society has never been systematically investigated. In this paper, we examine the effectiveness and eco-efficiency of remanufacturing in the personal computer and mobile phone industries. We investigate whether remanufacturing substantially reduces the environmental impact, as measured by cumulative energy demand (CED), gen...
• Researchers' Perspectives on Supply Chain Risk Management AI翻译
  作者：Sodhi, ManMohan S.; Son, Byung-Gak; Tang, Christopher S.

  摘要：Supply chain risk management (SCRM) is a nascent area emerging from a growing appreciation for supply chain risk by practitioners and by researchers. However, there is diverse perception of research in supply chain risk because these researchers have approached this area from different domains. This paper presents our study of this diversity from the perspectives of operations and supply chain management scholars: First, we reviewed the researchers' output, i.e., the recent research literature...
• Measuring Seat Value in Stadiums and Theaters AI翻译
  作者：Veeraraghavan, Senthil; Vaidyanathan, Ramnath
  作者单位：University of Pennsylvania
  摘要：We study how the seat value perceived by consumers attending an event in a theater/stadium depends on the location of their seat relative to the stage/field. We develop a measure of seat value, called the Seat Value Index, and relate it to seat location and consumer characteristics. We implement our analysis on a proprietary data set that a professional baseball franchise in Japan collected from its customers, and provide recommendations. For instance, we find that customers seated in symmetri...
• Sharing Responsibility for Product Recovery Across the Supply Chain AI翻译

  摘要：Extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs typically hold the producera single actor defined by the regulatorresponsible for the environmental impacts of end-of-life products. This is despite emphasis on the need to involve all actors in the supply chain in order to best achieve the aims of EPR. In this paper, we examine the economic and environmental implications of product recovery mandates and shared responsibility within a supply chain. We use a two-echelon model consisting of a suppl...
