摘要：We examine the relationship between Operational Productivity (OP), Corporate Social Performance (CSP), Financial Performance (FP), and risk. Our sample frame comprises 476 firms in nine US manufacturing industries during the period 1999-2009. We employ DEA-based measures for OP and CSP, two operationalizations for FP to reflect current profitability and market value, and two operationalizations for risk to reflect bankruptcy risk and stock price volatility. We confirm that OP is essential for ...

摘要：We study the scheduling of multiple tasks under varying processing costs and derive a priority rule for optimal scheduling policies. Each task has a due date, and a non-completion penalty cost is incurred if the task is not completely processed before its due date. We assume that the task arrival process is stochastic and the processing rate is capacitated. Our work is motivated by both traditional and emerging application domains, such as construction industry and freelance consulting industr...

摘要：In recent years, an increasing number of brick-and-mortar retailers have entered into the new brick-and-click era. Within this context, when a manufacturer presents a new product offering to a retailer, the ultimate decision is often made by the retailer regarding (1) whether to carry the new product, and (2) the channel outlet the product will be carried in (i.e., in-store only, online-exclusive, or brick-and-click). In response to this trend, we examine how a manufacturer may use product des...

摘要：The research domain Industry Studies and Public Policy (IS&PP) seeks to further our understanding of industrial practices and managerial challenges by explicitly considering contextual details in the design and interpretation of research studies. These details can be vital considerations when shaping public policies. This article reviews a sample of IS&PP publications and analyzes the content of 180 selected papers85 papers published in the Production and Operations Management (POM) journal an...

摘要：Delivery time differentiation is a supply chain concept that has been implemented in various industries, but not yet in the automotive industry. One reason is that the effects of delivery time differentiation on the supply chain are not well understood. The BMW Group, for instance, has considered offering an express order option, where express orders bypass standard orders in the supply chain processes to achieve short delivery times. Express orders distort planning processes, increase operati...

摘要：In this study, we consider a two-retailer, one-supplier supply chain in which retailers satisfy excess demand by offering to directly ship out-of-stock items on an expedited basis at no extra cost to customers. This practice is referred to as the fast-ship option. We consider two scenarios along with the fast-ship option. In the first scenario, retailers transship when out of stock, whereas in the second scenario, they do not. If they do not transship, some customers may perform the search on ...

摘要：This paper studies two-stage lot-sizing problems with uncertain demand, where lost sales, backlogging and no backlogging are all considered. To handle the ambiguity in the probability distribution of demand, distributionally robust models are established only based on mean-covariance information about the distribution. Based on shortest path reformulations of lot-sizing problems, we prove that robust solutions can be obtained by solving mixed 0-1 conic quadratic programs (CQPs) with mean-risk ...
