• Distributed decision-making in supply chains and private E-marketplaces AI翻译

  摘要：T his paper develops a distributed decision-making framework for the players in a supply chain or a private e-marketplace to collaboratively arrive at a global Pareto-optimal solution. In this model, no player has complete knowledge about all the costs and constraints of the other players. The decision-making framework employs an iterative procedure, based on the Integer L-shaped method, in which a master problem is solved to propose global solutions, and each player uses his local problems to...
• Channel conflict and coordination in the E-commerce age AI翻译

  摘要：A number of factors, including developments in Internet-based commerce and third-party logistics, have led many companies to consider engaging in direct sales. Such a company may at once be both a supplier to and a direct competitor of any existing reseller partners (e.g., land-based retailers), which can result in channel conflict. This can have momentous implications for distribution strategy. To generate managerial insights into this important issue, we develop a model that captures key att...
• Real-time work schedule adjustment decisions: An investigation and evaluation AI翻译

  摘要：Service managers often find that available worker capacity does not match with actual demand during a given day. They then must attempt to modify the planned work schedule to improve service and increase profitability. This study, which defines such a setting as the real-time work schedule adjustment decision, proposes mathematical formulations of the real-time adjustment and develops efficient heuristic approaches for this decision. The study evaluates the relative effectiveness of these heur...
• Towards a theory of competitive progression: Evidence from high-tech manufacturing AI翻译

  摘要：This study replicates and extends Ferdows and De Meyers' observed 'sand cone' model of cumulative competitive capabilities by means of Roth's related competitive progression theory (CPT). Using path analysis, we model and test the relationships among the generic competitive capability constructs of conformance quality, delivery reliability, volume flexibility, and low cost as predicted by CPT. Our results, drawn from a sample of high-tech manufacturers, provide further evidence that on average...
• Collaboration and coordination in supply chain management and E-commerce AI翻译

  摘要：Research in Supply Chain Management and Electronic Commerce has grown dramatically in the past decade as firms have intensified efforts to streamline operations and improve service to a diverse and demanding customer base. Central to this theme is the need for firms to look outside of their organizations for opportunities to collaborate and coordinate with partners to ensure that the supply chain is both efficient and responsive to dynamic market needs. Such collaboration and coordination oppo...
• Why does cell implementation stop? Factors influencing cell penetration in manufacturing plants AI翻译

  摘要：There is little understanding as to why firms have various degrees of cell usage. The intent of this study was to identify factors that had arrested continued implementation of cells at surveyed manufacturing plants. We found no dominant factor that had prevented the firms from continued cellularization. However, by sub-dividing the plants into those with low and high degrees of direct labor hours spent in cells, short and long experience with cells, and those with and without plans for furthe...
• Capacity allocation among multiple suppliers in an electronic market AI翻译

  摘要：An electronic marketplace typically provides industrial suppliers an alternative option for selling their capacity in addition to the traditional open market. However, suppliers face different sets of costs and risks in open market and in electronic market. Consequently, suppliers participating in an electronic market are likely to offer their capacity at a different price compared with traditional open market. We analyze this problem and derive the price-capacity function for the supplier. We...
• Fit, flexibility and performance in manufacturing: Coping with dynamic environments AI翻译
  作者：Anand, G; Ward, PT
  作者单位：University System of Ohio; Ohio State University
  摘要：This research develops the notion of environmental fit and flexibility and illustrates the importance of such fit empirically using survey data from 101 manufacturing firms. Two dimensions of environmental dynamism are identified and the fit between them and different approaches to flexibility are assessed. Hierarchical regressions provide evidence that flexibility is a stronger predictor of performance in more dynamic environments. Specifically, presence of the unpredictability or the volatil...
• Diagnosing order planning performance at a navy maintenance and repair organization, using logistic regression AI翻译

  摘要：We present a tool to diagnose the behavior of planners in complex production processes and to establish improvement potential for the delivery performance by changing the planning behavior. Scientific literature on production control offers valuable knowledge, but the complexity of real-life processes makes it impossible to directly apply this knowledge in real-life. The presented tool identifies possible deficiencies in the current way of managing the business processes, by matching the scien...
• Modeling customer satisfaction in telecommunications: Assessing the effects of multiple transaction points on the perceived overall performance of the provider AI翻译
  作者：Athanassopoulos, AD; Iliakopoulos, A
  摘要：The ability of telecommunication operators to focus successfully on the customer has proven to be one of the most competitive issues toward the end of the 20th century. The services management literature is short of theoretical and empirical studies on customer satisfaction measurement in the telecommunications industry. This, however, is contrary to the industry practice since almost all major telecommunications companies around the world gather information about customer satisfaction and oth...
