The field experiment is an established and powerful method to investigate economics and business questions. However, operations management has embraced field experiments only in recent years. In this paper, we review the existing operations management literature that leverages field experiments....

Mass tort defendants have recently begun exiting multi-district litigation (MDL) by filing for bankruptcy. This new strategy ushers defendants into a far more hospitable forum that offers accelerated resolution of all state and federal claims held by both current and future victims....

Operations Management (OM) has evolved to its current status due to the contributions of researchers in many fields including economics, finance, behavioral sciences, operations research/management science, mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Many of these contributors are Nobel...

Organizations have not fully realized the benefits of interorganizational relationships (IORs) due to the lack of cross-enterprise process integration capabilities. Recently, interorganizational business process standards (IBPS) enabled by information technology (IT) have been suggested as a...

Appraising pharmaceutical products at different time points of their lifecycle open ups the possibility of reversals in estimates of economic value. A product that erstwhile was rated “not cost-effective” could later on become 'cost-effective'. This paper investigates, within a single...

While sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification (SDAD) occurring in the second-stage anoxic reactor of the sulfate reduction, autotrophic denitrification and nitrification integrated (SANI) system has been regarded as the main nitrogen removal bioprocess, little is known about the accompanying...

The effectiveness of two different biomaterials, i.e. Aloe Vera and Acorn leaves, has been tested in treating a real industrial petroleum wastewater through a coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation process. Experimental activities were aimed at evaluating the optimal operating conditions, in...

The aim of the present study is to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Al/Cu/Sn/Ni multi-layered composite (MLC) processed by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) at room temperature over seventh cycle. Microstructural results by scanning electron microscopy show that the...

In the present work, a novel Laser Directed Energy Deposition (LDED) process planning methodology is proposed to build a dome structure with variable overhang angles. Overhang structures with different overhang angles were built where the maximum angle of 35° can be used to build overhang...
