Analysis of the quantities of the remanufacturing plan of perfect cost

Piñeyro, Pedro; Viera, Omar - In: Journal of Remanufacturing 2 (2012), pp. 1-8

Background: The remanufacturing plan of perfect cost makes reference to the remanufacturing plan of an optimal solution of the economic lot-sizing problem with remanufacturing (ELSR). In this paper, we address the problem of determining the quantities of the remanufacturing plan of perfect cost...

On the alignment of lot sizing decisions in a remanufacturing system in the presence of random yield

Schulz, Tobias; Ferretti, Ivan - In: Journal of Remanufacturing 1 (2011), pp. 1-11

In the area of reverse logistics, remanufacturing has been proven to be a valuable option for product recovery. In many industries, each step of the products' recovery is carried out in lot sizes which leads to the assumption that for each of the different recovery steps some kind of fixed costs...

A cost model for optimizing the take back phase of used product recovery

Ghoreishi, Niloufar; Jakiela, Mark J.; Nekouzadeh, Ali - In: Journal of Remanufacturing 1 (2011), pp. 1-15

Taking back the end-of-life products from customers can be made profitable by optimizing the combination of advertising, financial benefits for the customer, and ease of delivery (product transport). In this paper we present a detailed modeling framework developed for the cost benefit analysis...

Market structure and market performance in e-commerce

Hackl, Franz; Kummer, Michael E.; Winter-Ebmer, Rudolf; … - 2011

We investigate the effect of market structure on market performance in the market for consumer electronics. This research is novel, because we exploit product life cycle information to build an instrumental variable for the number of firms in a market, a variable which hitherto had to be treated...

Turbulence in high growth and declining industries

Baptista, Rui; Karaöz, Murat - 2007

We examine turbulence over the product life cycle using the lowest possible level of industry aggregation, allowing for the use of panel data to study the evolution of single product markets. We find that replacement of exiting firms by subsequent entry plays a primary role in generating...

Product Pricing when Demand Follows a Rule of Thumb

Matzke, Christina; Wirth, Benedikt - 2009

We analyze the strategic behavior of firms when demand is determined by a rule of thumb behavior of consumers. We assume consumer dynamics where individual consumers follow simple behavioral decision rules governed by imitation and habit as suggested in consumer research. On this basis, we...

The Experience Curve and the Market Size of Competitive Consumer Durable Markets

2011

An evolutionary model of the product life cycle is applied to derive the experience curve and the market size of (expensive) durable goods. The experience (learning) curve suggests that the real costs per unit decrease with an increasing cumulative output (Henderson's law). Based on the idea...
