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：As a result of government budgetary limits and rapid market growth, many public service systemssuch as health careare characterized by extensive customer wait times that have become a serious problem. This problem might be solved by allowing private firms to enter these markets, which would provide customers with a choice between a free (governmental) public service provider (SP) and a fee-charging (or toll) private SP. In such a two-tier service system, the two SPs are differentiated by servi...

摘要：We present a multiperiod model of a retail supply chain, consisting of a single supplier and a single retailer, in which regular replenishment occurs periodically but players have the option to support fast delivery when customers experience a stockout during a replenishment period. Because expedited shipments increase the supplier's transportation cost, and possibly production/inventory costs, the supplier typically charges a markup over and above the prevailing wholesale price for fast-shipp...

摘要：In retailing operations, retailers face the challenge of incomplete demand information. We develop a new concept named K-approximate convexity, which is shown to be a generalization of K-convexity, to address this challenge. This idea is applied to obtain a base-stock list-price policy for the joint inventory and pricing control problem with incomplete demand information and even non-concave revenue function. A worst-case performance bound of the policy is established. In a numerical study whe...

摘要：Firms producing complementary goods often strategically form groups and jointly sell their products to better coordinate their decisions. For consumer durables, decisions about such collaboration might be complicated due to two factors. Because of their durability and presence of used goods markets, such products engender future price competition between new and used goods. On the other hand, consumers of such products might be forward-looking and patient, both of which affect their purchasing...

摘要：We consider a revenue management problem involving a two compartment aircraft flying a single leg, with no cancellations or over-booking. We apply the practice of transforming a choice revenue management model into an independent demand model. Within this assumed independent model, there are two sets of demands, business and economy, each with multiple fare class products. A business passenger can only be accepted into business. An economy passenger can be accepted into economy or upgraded int...

摘要：During the last 25years, the ecosystem of knowledge creation and dissemination in operations and supply chain management has improved remarkably. We now see OM as a vibrant community and an ecosystem in steady state. Yet, there are many opportunities ahead to revitalize our field and to expand our influence. In the spirit of continuous improvement, we propose that we focus our major efforts on accelerating the following four developments: First, having greatly expanded the domain of operations...

摘要：A controlled field experiment investigates order picking performance in terms of productivity. We examined three manual picker-to-parts order picking methods (parallel, zone, and dynamic zone picking) under two different incentive systems (competition-based vs. cooperation-based) for pickers with different regulatory foci (prevention-focus vs. promotion-focus). The study was carried out in a warehouse erected especially for the purposes of order picking research. Our results show that when usi...

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...
