This paper examines a vendor–buyer integrated system that includes rework and an enhanced product delivery policy that aims at lowering stock holding costs for both the vendor and the buyer. It extends the recent work of Chiu et al. (2011) by incorporating an amending ‘n+1’ shipment policy...

We investigate a periodic inventory system for a single item with stochastic demand and random yield. Since the optimal policy for such a system is complicated we study the class of stationary linear-inflation policies where orders are only placed if the inventory position is below a critical...

Au cours des deux dernières décennies, l’évolution de l’environnement économique des entreprises a conduit à une tension croissante sur les flux, en particulier pour les entreprises spécialisées dans la production de masse de produits fortement diversifiés, auxquelles on...

The paper assumes a product design around modular architectures and discusses the suitability of the principle of delayed product differentiation in assemble-to-order environments. We demonstrate that this principle does not enable one to make optimal decisions concerning how variety should...
