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...

Boards of Directors’ Contribution to Strategy: A Literature Review and Research Agenda

Van Den Bosch, Frans A J; Pugliese, Pugliese, A.; … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2009

Manuscript Type: Literature review. Research Question/Issue: Over the last four decades, research on the relationship between boards of directors and strategy has proliferated. Yet to date there is little theoretical and empirical agreement regarding the question of how boards of directors...

Organizing The Innovation System For Reusability: The Case Of Made-To-Order Markets

Van Den Bosch, Frans A J; Oshri, Oshri, I.; Volberda, … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2004

This paper examines the transfer of designs between projects within firm in the context of made-to-order producing companies. This practice is also known as knowledge reuse. Past studies has provided a detailed account of the strategies and processes involved in the reuse of technologies....

Absorptive Capacity: Antecedents, Models and Outcomes

Van Den Bosch, Frans A J; van Wijk, van Wijk, R.A.J.L.; … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2003

This chapter focuses on the gap between the speed of proliferation of theoretical and empirical contributions and the speed of accumulation of the acquired scientific knowledge regarding absorptive capacity. To contribute to narrowing this gap, we will in particular review the conceptual...

An NPV and AC Analysis of a Stochastic Inventory System with Joint Manufacturing and Remanufacturing

van der Laan, Erwin - 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 veri_ed that (under certain conditions) the AC approach gives near...

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...

The Value of Information in Reverse Logistics

van der Laan, Erwin; Ketzenberg, Ketzenberg, M.E.; … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2004

We explore the value of information in the context of a remanufacturer that faces uncertainty with respect to demand, product return, and product recovery (yield loss). We assume a single period model in which the operational decision of interest is the quantity of new product to order. Our...

Simple heuristics for push and pull remanufacturing policies

van der Laan, Erwin; Teunter, Teunter, R.H. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2004

Inventory policies for joint remanufacturing and manufacturing have recently received much attention. Most efforts, though, were related to (optimal) policy structures and numerical optimization, rather than closed form expressions for calculating near optimal policy parameters. The focus of...

Complex Incremental Product Innovation in Established Service Firms: A Micro Institutional Perspective

Van Den Bosch, Frans A J; Vermeulen, Vermeulen, P.A.M.; … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2006

Many product innovation studies have described key determinants that should lead to successful incremental product … innovation. Despite numerous studies suggesting how incremental product innovation should be successfully undertaken, many firms … still struggle with this type of innovation. In this paper, we use an institutional perspective to investigate why …
