Cost Minimization for a Multi-Product Fabrication-Distribution Problem with Commonality, Postponement, and Quality Assurance
To gain more competitive advantages and attract more customers from the turbulent business environment, manufacturing firms today must offer a wide variety of products to marketplaces. The existence of component commonality in multi-product fabrication planning enables managers to reevaluate different production design alternatives to lower overall production relevant costs. Motivated by assist...
متن کاملMulti-product newsboy problem with limited capacity and outsourcing
This paper considers a multi-product newsboy system that produces multiple products for fulfilling independently uncertain demands, which share the same production capacity. To deal with possible shortage of limited capacity, productions can be outsourced. We consider two outsourcing strategies: zero lead time outsourcing, and nonzero lead time outsourcing. The structural properties and solutio...
متن کاملDelayed multiattribute product differentiation
We develop a two-stage model for versioning products with respect to both vertical and horizontal attributes. At first, a firm positions its top-quality “flagship” product in a market with an imperfectly known distribution of tastes and reservation prices. In the second stage, the firm learns these consumer characteristics and has the option of extending its product line by versioning the flags...
متن کاملThree Metaheuristic Algorithms for Solving the Multi-item Capacitated Lot-sizing Problem with Product Returns and Remanufacturing
This paper proposes a new mixed integer programming model for multi-item capacitated lot-sizing problem with setup times, safety stock and demand shortages in closed-loop supply chains. The returned products from customers can either be disposed or be remanufactured to be sold as new ones again. Due to the complexity of problem, three meta-heuristics algorithms named simulated annealing (SA) al...
متن کاملOutsourcing, Product Quality, and Contract Enforcement
Does outsourcing compromise product quality? Does sound contract enforcement alleviate this concern? We offer a simple model to illustrate how outsourcing leads to lower product quality and how contract enforcement helps mitigate this problem. These theoretical predictions are borne out of a survey of 2,400 firms in China conducted by the World Bank in 2003.
