Lateral transshipments: an institutional theory perspective

H.W. Stanger, Sebastian; Wilding, Richard; Hartmann, Evi; … - In: International Journal of Physical Distribution & … 43 (2013) 9, pp. 747-767

Purpose – Are lateral transshipments an effective instrument to ensure the safe and efficient supply of blood? This paper will use the lens of institutional theory to determine how the blood supply chain can benefit from lateral transshipments and what requirements are necessary for their...

Cost adjustment for single item pooling models using a dynamic failure rate: A calculation for the aircraft industry

Fritzsche, R. - In: Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and … 48 (2012) 6, pp. 1065-1079

This paper presents an analytical model for cost estimation in a single-item, multi-hub (S-1,S) inventory policy-pooling model for high-value spare parts in the aviation industry. The model extends existing, static pooling models by implementing a dynamic failure rate, using a maintenance free...

On the Benefits of Pooling in Production-Inventory Systems

Benjaafar, Saif; Cooper, William L.; Kim, Joon-Seok - In: Management Science 51 (2005) 4, pp. 548-565

We study inventory pooling in systems with symmetric costs where supply lead times are endogenously generated by a … finite-capacity production system. We investigate the sensitivity of the cost advantage of inventory pooling to various … exogenous. We also compare inventory pooling with several forms of capacity pooling. …

Optimal Policies for Transshipping Inventory in a Retail Network

Wee, Kwan Eng; Dada, Maqbool - In: Management Science 51 (2005) 10, pp. 1519-1533

Motivated by recent reports of improved customer service facilitated by the use of transshipment to pool inventory, we develop a formal model that focuses on the role of transshipment in a system of n-retailers who stock a good. In addition, some stock may be kept at a warehouse. If a retailer...
