• Market-based allocation with indivisible bids AI翻译

  摘要：We study multiunit double auctions accepting bids with indivisibility constraints. Modeling the auction problem as a Multiple Choice Knapsack Problem and using dynamic programming, we show that incremental computations during bid processing can speed the handling of key auction operations such as clearing and quoting. We propose different price-quote policies and study their influence on the efficiency of market-based allocation. Using a reconfigurable manufacturing scenario where agents trade...
• Following the thread: Industry cluster theory, the New England cotton textiles industry, and implications for future supply chain research AI翻译

  摘要：The purpose of this paper is to introduce supply chain management researchers to industry cluster theory within the context of supply chain management decisions. Industry cluster theory emphasizes the explicit and implicit benefits that accrue to various economic players due to geographic proximity. As such, it provides a contrasting view to the current pressure on supply chains to seek out the best partners, regardless of location. We review the theory behind industry clusters, and illustrate...
• Performance impacts of strategy, information technology applications, and business process outsourcing in US manufacturing plants AI翻译

  摘要：This paper develops a conceptual model to study the role of outsourcing strategies and plant-level information technology (IT) application infrastructure in the outsourcing of production and support business processes, as well as their subsequent impact on overall plant performance. We validate this model empirically using cross-sectional survey data from U.S. manufacturing plants. We find that some IT applications are more effective at enabling the outsourcing of business processes than other...
• A field study of RFID deployment and return expectations AI翻译

  摘要：Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology promises to transform supply chain management. Building on previous research in information systems and supply chain management, this paper proposes a theoretical framework for RFID adoption and benefits, and tests the framework using data on u.s. firms. Our analysis suggests that there is a positive association between information technology (IT) application deployment and RFID adoption. We find that RFID implementation spending and partner man...
• Performance metric portfolios: A framework and empirical analysis AI翻译

  摘要：The widespread adoption of supply chain management principles suggests that managers recognize the importance of evaluating operational decisions holistically. However, it is often difficult to link specific operational practices to strategic level outcomes and in turn to corporate financial results. This presents problems for both managers and academic researchers attempting to justify the often high cost of operational improvement initiatives in terms of objective accounting metrics. This st...
• Mandated RFID and institutional responses: Cases of decentralized business units AI翻译
  作者：Barratt, Mark; Choi, Thomas
  作者单位：Arizona State University; Arizona State University-Tempe
  摘要：Using a theory-building approach based on case studies, this research explores the responses of four decentralized business units to institutional pressure to adopt Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) technology. The institutional pressure emanates from the Department of Defense, and the affected decentralized business units operate in a large defense contractor. Institutional theory explains how organizations respond to external pressures to adopt new procedures, policies, and technologies. ...
• A diagnostic tree for improving production line performance AI翻译
  作者：Hopp, Wallace J.; Iravani, Seyed M. R.; Shou, Biying
  作者单位：Northwestern University
  摘要：Improving performance of production systems is a critical but often unstructured activity. To help managers convert ad hoc or trial & error improvement efforts into efficient and systematic reviews, we develop a diagnostic tree which decomposes a performance improvement objective into successively more concrete sub-objectives and finally into potential improvement strategies. Based on principles from the Operations Management literature, this tree is structured to enable a non-specialist to be...
• Dynamic pricing in e-services under demand uncertainty AI翻译
  作者：Xia, Cathy H.; Dube, Parijat
  作者单位：International Business Machines (IBM); IBM USA
  摘要：High volatility of the e-services market, due to increasing competition, low life cycle of products, and easy availability of information about competing service offerings to customers, makes the demand for service offerings quite uncertain. Revenue management in such markets calls for real-time techniques to learn the demand and its dependence on both the price and the service level associated with the service offering. We assume firms reply on exploratory approaches for demand estimation, in...
• RFID and operations management: Technology, value, and incentives AI翻译
  作者：Dutta, Amitava; Lee, Hau L.; Whang, Seungjin
  作者单位：George Mason University; Stanford University
  摘要：As RFID technology matures and organizations seek to deploy it in their business operations, a basic objective in the endeavor is that of extracting business value from the technology. This paper examines three dimensions of the value proposition of RFID and attempts to identify areas for further investigation. The first dimension consists of the generic architecture of RFID implementations and the drivers of value that can result from its components. The second consists of measurement issues ...
• Do auction parameters affect buyer surplus in e-auctions for procurement? AI翻译

  摘要：Although the initial euphoria about Internet-enabled reverse auctions has given way to a cautious but widespread use of reverse auctions in business-to-business (13213) procurement, there is a limited understanding of the effect of auction design parameters on buyer surplus. In this paper, we study the effect of bidding competition, information asymmetry, reserve price, bid decrement, auction duration, and bidder type on buyer surplus. We collected field data on more than 700 online procuremen...
