摘要:We review the manuscripts accepted for publication by the Manufacturing Operations Department of Production and Operations Management (POM) over 13 years (1992-2004). The manuscripts managed by this department deal with topics including scheduling, manufacturing systems management, inventory control and capacity management, maintenance management, and teaching and applications. In the process of this review, we highlight the significant contribution of POM to the field of operations management...

摘要:We present a retrospective look at the articles on New Product Development that appeared in the first 50 issues of Production and Operations Management (POM). We discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses of this POM literature stream. This article is not intended to be a literature review or an exhaustive review of the articles. Rather, we seek to identify new opportunities for rigorous and relevant research, research that has the potential of differentiating and enhancing POM within the Op...

摘要:Recently, innovation-oriented firms have been competing along dimensions other than price, lead time being one such dimension. Increasingly, customers are favoring lead time guarantees as a means to hedge supply chain risks. For a make-to-order environment, we explicitly model the impact of a lead time guarantee on customer demands and production planning. We study how a firm can integrate demand and production decisions to optimize expected profits by quoting a uniform guaranteed maximum lead...

摘要:Uncertainty in new product development (NPD) planning embraces market, creative, technological, and process dimensions to a much greater extent than in non-NPD project planning. Yet, NPD management is becoming increasingly decentralized, both within the firm and across the supply chain. Hence, planning for NPD uncertainty often results in path-dependent scenarios cutting across the strategic, tactical, and operational levels of planning. To coordinate this resulting complexity, we propose a st...

摘要:Business processes have become more simultaneous and collaborative in the recent past. In simultaneous processes, multiple parties must adapt to one another in real time as decisions evolve. For example, New Product Development (NPD) requires collaboration in the context of Concurrent Engineering, and Supply Chain Management (SCM) in the context of collaborative planning. In both cases, parties must modify decisions based on preliminary information, information that is not fully precise or sta...

摘要:A model is introduced to analyze the manufacturing-marketing interface for a firm in a high-tech industry that produces a series of high-volume products with short product life cycles on a single facility. The one-time strategic decision regarding the firm's investment in changeover flexibility establishes the link between market opportunities and manufacturing capabilities. Specifically, the optimal changeover flexibility decision is determined in the context of the firm's market entry strate...

摘要:In this paper, we study the performance of a sourcing mechanism gaining popularity in industrial procurement environments; a tournament. Under a tournament, a buyer initially procures her parts from two suppliers with possibly different quality levels, for T time periods, i.e., she parallel sources. During this time, the buyer is able to observe noisy signals about the suppliers' quality. At time T, she selects the supplier with the highest observed performance and awards it the remainder of h...

摘要:W e study incentive issues that arise in semiconductor capacity planning and allocation. Motivated by our experience at a major U.S. semiconductor manufacturer, we model the capacity-allocation problem in a game-theoretic setting as follows: each product manager (PM) is responsible for a certain product line, while privately owning demand information through regular interaction with the customers. Capacity-allocation is carried out by the corporate headquarters (HQ), which allocates manufactur...

摘要:We consider the problem of managing demand risk in tactical supply chain planning for a particular global consumer electronics company. The company follows a deterministic replenishment-and-planning process despite considerable demand uncertainty. As a possible way to formally address uncertainty, we provide two risk measures, demand-at-risk (DaR) and inventory-at-risk (IaR) and two linear programming models to help manage demand uncertainty. The first model is deterministic and can be used to...
