A Generic Model for Integrated Sales, Product, and Production Configuration
نویسنده
چکیده
Facilitating product customization, configuration has attracted much attention from both academia and industry alike. However, the available studies and the reported systems focus on sales or product configuration while leaving other important issues in developing customized products unaddressed. A new configuration concept: integrated Sales, Product and Production configuration (SPP configuration) is therefore proposed to accommodate the entire product customization process. SPP configuration addresses not only sales and product configuration but also production configuration. In light of its important role in managing knowledge in SPP configuration, this study focuses on the underpinning configuration model: the generic bill of functions, materials and operations (GBoFMO) and discuss it in detail. An industrial example is reported to demonstrate the GBoFMO of a family of customized light passenger aircrafts.

Supply chain configuration for diffusion of new products: An integrated optimization approach
We develop an integrated/hybrid optimization model for configuring new products’ supply chains while explicitly considering the impact of demand dynamics during new products’ diffusion. The hybrid model simultaneously determines optimal production/sales plan and supply chain configuration. The production and sales plan provides decisions on the optimal timing to launch a new product, as well as...
