• After-Sales Service Contracting: Condition Monitoring and Data Ownership AI翻译
  作者：Li, Cuihong; Tomlin, Brian
  作者单位：University of Connecticut; Dartmouth College
  摘要：Problem definition: Condition monitoring (CM) of durable assets, whereby sensors continuously monitor the health of an asset, is heralded as a key application of the Internet of Things. However, questions about ownership of the sensor data are seen as a key barrier to adoption. We model an after-sales supply chain in which the asset manufacturer provides maintenance and repair services to a customer that operates the asset. The asset condition deteriorates in a stochastic fashion and will even...
• Is Adopting Mass Customization a Path to Environmentally Sustainable Fashion? AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: In high-product-variety businesses like fashion, mass production (MP) systems create environmental waste in the form of overproduction on a colossal scale. Mass customization (MC) has been proposed-without solid evidence-as a solution. In this paper, we analyze whether MC can indeed offer a win-win solution that helps both the bottom line and the environment. We also study the impact of three real policy options: promoting MC, charging a disposal fee for overproduction, and...
• Food Safety Audits in Developing Economies: Decentralization vs. Centralization AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: This paper investigates and compares two types of food safety auditing structures: decentralized and centralized audits. Academic/practical relevance: Decentralized food safety auditing systems are common among developing economies, that is, different tiers of a food supply chain are audited by separate government agencies. Such an auditing structure has been widely criticized as ineffective at mitigating food safety risks. Some developing countries began implementing centr...
• An Operations Approach for Reducing Glycemic Variability: Evidence from a Primary Care Setting AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: Diabetes is a highly prevalent and expensive chronic disease that affects millions of Americans and is associated with multiple comorbidities. Clinical research has found long-term variation in a patient's glycated hemoglobin levels to be linked with adverse health outcomes, such as increased hospitalizations. Consequently, there is a need for innovative approaches to reduce long-term glycemic variability and efficient ways to implement them. Academic/practical relevance: A...
• Fulfilled by Amazon: A Strategic Perspective of Competition at the e-Commerce Platform AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: This paper examines the economic effects of the fulfillment services offered by Amazon (FBA) to the third-party sellers on its retail platform. Academic/practical relevance: Logistics is critical for e-commerce. It is intriguing that the third-party sellers that use FBA may directly compete with Amazon. By FBA, their service levels are substantially improved and so is their competitiveness. Such a phenomenon has been little investigated in prior literature. Methodology: We ...

  摘要：Problem definition: There is a concerted effort across multiple academic disciplines to understand the recall decision-making process. Specifically, what steps does a manufacturer take following a product defect discovery and resulting in the product recall decision? This effort has often been limited to case studies within a particular manufacturer, largely due to the absence of consistent and comparable data across firms. Methodology/results: This data paper provides a foundation for future ...
• The Value of Information and Flexibility with Temporal Commitments AI翻译
  作者：Boada-Collado, Pol; Chopra, Sunil; Smilowitz, Karen
  作者单位：Northwestern University; Northwestern University
  摘要：Problem definition: We study the combined value of observing future demand realizations (partial demand visibility) and flexible capacity, two hedging mechanisms against demand uncertainty, when signing capacity contracts with short temporal commitment. Academic/practical relevance: With new technological innovations, short commitment contracts are found in dynamic environments like distribution, processing, and manufacturing, a trend likely to grow in the future. In contrast to classic procur...
• Scan Based Trading and Bargaining Equilibrium: A Structural Estimation of Supply Chain Profit AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: Scan based trading (SBT) represents a type of replenishment system in which the supplier retains title until the product is scanned through checkout at the retail store by the consumer. Although SBT carries potential benefits for both parties in the supplier-retailer dyad, it may also yield asymmetric gains to these parties, particularly because SBT can impose greater inventory costs to suppliers through shrink. We document the financial benefits in terms of supply chain pr...
• Should We All Work in Sprints? How Agile Project Management Improves Performance AI翻译
  作者：Lieberum, Tobias; Schiffels, Sebastian; Kolisch, Rainer
  作者单位：Technical University of Munich
  摘要：Problem definition: Agile project management, in particular Scrum, is enjoying increased use in practice despite only scant scientific validation. This article explores how agile project management impacts project performance and execution. We compare the effects of agile sprints-short-term project phases characterized by time-boxed progression from one sprint to the next and self-imposed, phase-specific output goals-with those of traditional project management. Methodology/results: We decompo...
• Be the Match: Optimizing Capacity Allocation for Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation AI翻译
  作者：Panchanatham, Sundara Natarajan; Freeman, Michael; Groenevelt, Harry; Hasija, Sameer
  作者单位：INSEAD Business School; University of Rochester
  摘要：Problem definition: Treating many blood-related diseases requires transplantation of genetically compatible hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) extracted from the bone marrow (BM) of live donors or the umbilical cord blood (CB) of babies. To facilitate the search for HSCs, institutions known as BM registries collect the details of potential donors and CB banks store units of CB. This paper focuses on the problem of joint optimization of the capacity of these two institutions. Academic/practical re...
