Efficient Product Portfolio Reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Abstract A product portfolio can be defined as the set of artifacts marketed by a corporation in order to meet its customer’s needs. The proliferation of products in a company’s portfolio can create inefficiencies due to the greater complexity and the corresponding effort required to design and manufacture the set of products. A methodology for efficiently reducing the number of products through the use of an extended commonality strategy is presented in this article. The proposed design process allows for an efficient merging of the individual product designs. The result is a portfolio that is reduced in absolute size and has maximum commonality between the remaining products. Additionally, the methodology may be used to reduce the number of platforms in a product portfolio. The methodology is applied to the design of automotive engines. 2.

Estimating the Efficient Portfolio in Non-Radial DEA and DEA-R Models
The portfolio is a perfect combination of stock or assets, which an investor buys them. The objective of the portfolio is to divide the investment risk among several shares. Using non-parametric DEA and DEA-R methods can be of great significance in estimating portfolio. In the present paper, the efficient portfolio is estimated by using non-radial DEA and DEA-R models. By proposing non-radial m...
متن کاملA Regret Minimization Approach in Product Portfolio Management with respect to Customers’ Price-sensitivity
In an uncertain and competitive environment, product portfolio management (PPM) becomes more challenging for manufacturers to decide what to make and establish the most beneficial product portfolio. In this paper, a novel approach in PPM is proposed in which the environment uncertainty, competitors’ behavior and customer’s satisfaction are simultaneously considered as the most important criteri...
متن کاملA portfolio approach to multi-product newsboy problem with budget constraint
This paper investigates a portfolio approach to multi-product newsboy problem with budget constraint, in which the procurement strategy for each newsboy product is designed as portfolio contract. A portfolio contract consists of a fixed-price contract and an option contract. We model the problem as a profit-maximization model, and propose an efficient solution procedure after investigating the ...

This paper considers a multi-objective portfolio selection problem imposed by gaining of portfolio, divided yield and risk control in an ambiguous investment environment, in which the return and risk are characterized by probabilistic numbers. Based on the theory of possibility, a new multi-objective portfolio optimization model with gaining of portfolio, divided yield and risk control is propo...
متن کاملA nonlinear multi objective model for the product portfolio optimization: An integer programming
Optimization of the product portfolio has been recognized as a critical problem in industry, management, economy and so on. It aims at the selection of an optimal mix of the products to offer in the target market. As a probability function, reliability is an essential objective of the problem which linear models often fail to evaluate it. Here, we develop a multiobjective integer nonlinear cons...
