Do Foreign Greenfields Outperform Foreign Acquisitions or Vice Versa? An Institutional Perspective

Slangen, Slangen, A.H.L.; Hennart, J-F. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2008

Prior studies of the comparative performance of greenfields and acquisitions have advanced competing arguments, with … some arguing that greenfields should outperform acquisitions because acquisitions are costlier to integrate, and others … that acquisitions should outperform greenfields because greenfields suffer from a liability of newness. Moreover, while the …

Reverse Logistics – Capturing Value in the Extended Supply Chain

Fleischmann, Moritz; van Nunen, van Nunen, J.A.E.E.; … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2004

Product flows in today’s supply chains do not end once they have reached the customer. Many products lead a second and even third or fourth life after having accomplished their original task at their first customer. Consequently, a product may generate revenues multiple times, rather than a...

A Stochastic Dynamic Programming Approach to Revenue Management in a Make-to-Stock Production System

Fleischmann, Moritz; Quante, Quante, R.; Meyr, Meyr, H. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2009

In this paper, we consider a make-to-stock production system with known exogenous replenishments and multiple customer classes. The objective is to maximize profit over the planning horizon by deciding whether to accept or reject a given order, in anticipation of more profitable future orders....

On the Suboptimality of Full Turnover-Based Storage

Yu, Yu, Y.; de Koster, de Koster, M.B.M. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2009

In the past thirty years the full turnover-based storage policy as described by Hausman et al. (1976, Management Science 22(6)) has been widely claimed to outperform the commonly used ABC class-based storage policy, in terms of the resulting average storage and retrieval machine travel time. In...

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...

Nash Game Model for Optimizing Market Strategies, Configuration of Platform Products in a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) Supply Chain for a Product Family

Yu, Yu, Y.; Huang, Huang, G.Q. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2009

This paper discusses how a manufacturer and its retailers interact with each other to optimize their product marketing strategies, platform product configuration and inventory policies in a VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) supply chain. The manufacturer procures raw materials from multiple...

An Inventory Model for Slow Moving Items Subject to Obsolescence

Dekker, Rommert; Pinçe, Pinçe, C. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2009

In this paper, we consider a continuous review inventory system of a slow moving item for which the demand rate drops to a lower level at a pre-determined time. Inventory system is controlled according to one-for-one replenishment policy with fixed lead time. Adaptation to the lower demand rate...

Linearization and Decomposition Methods for Large Scale Stochastic Inventory Routing Problem with Service Level Constraints

Yu, Yu, Y.; Chu, Chu, C.; Chen, Chen, H.X.; Chu, Chu, F. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2010

A stochastic inventory routing problem (SIRP) is typically the combination of stochastic inventory control problems and NP-hard vehicle routing problems, for a depot to determine delivery volumes to its customers in each period, and vehicle routes to distribute the delivery volumes. This paper...

Integration of Environmental Management and SCM

Bloemhof-Ruwaard, Jacqueline Bloemhof; van Nunen, van … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2005

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is a rather new phenomenon in the Operations Management/Operations Research literature. In the design of Sustainable Supply Chains the increase of transparency across the chain is essential and can be obtained through identification and traceability....

Distributed Services with Foreseen and Unforeseen Tasks: The Mobile Re-allocation Problem

Dekker, Rommert; Kaymak, Uzay; Larco Martinelli, Larco … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2007

In this paper we deal with a common problem found in the operations of security and preventive/corrective maintenance services: that of routing a number of mobile resources to serve foreseen and unforeseen tasks during a shift. We define the (Mobile Re-Allocation Problem) MRAP as the problem of...
