Volume and Mix Flexibility Evaluation of Lean Production Systems
This paper introduces a practice-oriented and field-tested approach to measure and evaluate volume and mix flexibility of a lean production system. After an introductory literature review revealing and classifying various types of flexibility as well as models to determine the flexibility of production systems, the most important flexibility types volume and mix flexibility are identified. Exis...
متن کاملVolume Flexibility, Product Flexibility, or Both: The Role of Demand Correlation and Product Substitution
We analyze volume flexibility — the ability to produce above/below the installed capacity for a product — under endogenous pricing in a two-product setting. We discover that the value of volume flexibility is a function of demand correlation between products, an outcome which cannot be explained by classical risk-pooling arguments. Furthermore, while the value of product flexibility always decr...
متن کاملMix, Time and Volume Flexibility: Valuation and Corporate Diversification
Th is article examines the joint impact of three types of operational fl exibility in a theoretical model of a two-product fi rm that makes capacity, production and pricing decisions at three points in time with an underlying continuous-time information evolution. Mix fl exibility is measured by the cost of switching production between the two products. Volume fl exibility is measured by the fr...
متن کاملFramework for Product-Mix and Changeover Manufacturing Flexibility
Facing new challenges and more uncertainty, manufacturers see the need for flexible solutions and the need to strive to achieve flexibility. However, flexibility is still not well understood and no unambiguous understanding of flexibility exists. The paper first summarizes the state of the field of flexibility, exploring different definitions and understandings of the flexibility concept from t...
متن کاملCapacity Investment and the Interplay between Volume Flexibility and Product Flexibility
It has been widely recognized that different flexibility types (e.g. product or mix flexibility, volume flexibility, platform-based flexibility, etc.) are interrelated and that exploiting the linkages between flexibility types can aid decision-making. In particular, both product flexibility and volume flexibility are tools for coping with uncertain demand. In this paper, we explore the intertwi...
