Inventory strategies for systems with fast remanufacturing

van der Laan, Erwin; Teunter, Teunter, R.H.; Vlachos, … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2002

We describe hybrid manufacturing/remanufacturing systems with a long lead time for manufacturing and a short lead time for remanufacturing. We review the classes of inventory strategies for hybrid systems in the literature. These are all based on equal lead times. For systems with slow...

What Turns Knowledge into Innovative Products? The Role of Entrepreneurship and Knowledge Spillovers

Block, Joern H.; Thurik, Roy; Zhou, Zhou, H. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2009

entrepreneurship with respect to economic performance. This paper uses the knowledge spillover theory to explain different innovation …-to-the-market innovation but has no effect on the relationship between knowledge and new-to-the-firm innovation. Our results using European … chances that knowledge will become new-to-the-market innovation. The findings highlight the importance of Schumpeterian …

Explaining Preferences and Actual Involvement in Self-Employment: New Insights into the Role of Gender

Verheul, Ingrid; Thurik, Roy; Grilo, Grilo, I. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2008

This paper investigates why women’s self-employment rates are consistently lower than those of men. It has three focal points. It discriminates between the preference for self-employment and actual involvement in self-employment using a two (probit) equation model. It makes a systematic...

An Inventory Model with Dependent Product Demands and Returns

van der Laan, Erwin; Kiesmueller, G.P. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2001

In this paper an inventory model for a single reusable product is investigated, in which the random returns depend explicitly on the demand stream. Further, the model distinguishes itself from most other research in this field by considering leadtimes and a finite planning horizon. We show that...

Average Costs versus Net Present Value

van der Laan, Erwin; Teunter, Teunter, R.H. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2000

While the net present value (NPV) approach is widely accepted as the right framework for studying production and inventory control systems, average cost (AC) models are more widely used. For the well known EOQ model it can be verified that (under certain conditions) the AC approach gives near...

Inventory Management with product returns: the value of information

de Brito, Marisa P.; van der Laan, Erwin - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2003

This paper evaluates the impact of misinformation for inventory systems with product returns. If one could exactly know how much is going to be returned and when, one would certainly benefit from incorporating this perfect information a priori in the management of production, inventory, and...

Extended Producer Responsibility in the Aviation Sector

de Brito, Marisa P.; van der Laan, Erwin; Irion, B.D. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2007

In this paper we investigate recent initiatives with respect to extended producer responsibility in the aviation sector. We compare those with the existing practices in the automobile sector and the emerging regulations in the shipping sector. We describe the challenges and the lessons to be...

Setting the holding cost rates in a multi-product system with remanufacturing

van der Laan, Erwin; Corbacıoğlu, U. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2005

The Net Present Value (NPV) approach is considered to be the right approach to study inventory and production systems. But, approximate average cost (AC) approach is widely used in both practice and theory. However, the opportunity cost interpretation of AC framework is not that straightforward...
