In this thesis, we focus on integration issue of manufacturing and sales functions from the perspective of aggregate production planning. The manufacturing function and sales function are performed by separate affiliated companies of the same business group, which operate as an integrated supplier-buyer system. In particular, this study provides theoretical and practical insight into the use of forecast volatility measure to better match supply with demand so as to reduce the costs of inventory and stock-outs in the manufacturer-buyer relationship under described master production-scheduling environment. Nature of forecast modifications provided by the buyer lays the foundation for the study. We modify the existing aggregate production planning model to accommodate a measure of historical forecast evolution. The overall objective of the thesis is to provide management with aforecast evolution-modeling framework to examine performance characteristics of the manufacturer-buyer interaction.

Analysis of an inventory system under supply uncertainty Gullu, R; Onol, E; Erkip, N (Elsevier BV, 1999-03-20) In this paper, we analyze a periodic review, single-item inventory model under supply uncertainty. The objective is to minimize expected holding and backorder costs over a finite planning horizon under the supply constraints. The uncertainty in supply is modeled using a three-point probability mass function. The supply is either completely available, partially available, or the supply is unavailable. Machine breakdowns, shortages in the capacity of the supplier, strikes, etc., are possible causes of uncerta...
Analysis of supplier buyer relationships using resource constrained project scheduling strategies Tukel, OI; Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı (2001-03-01) Many studies in the product development literature discuss the benefits of partnering with suppliers. In these partnership relations buyers and suppliers establish long term, co-operative relationships during Product Development Projects (PDP) in order to reduce product development time and improve project performance. Traditional contractual approaches, on the other hand, where buyers work independently of suppliers and lack control over suppliers' resources, are commonly blamed for delays in the developme...
Designing for Multisensorial Interactive Product Experiences Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2015-09-04) This paper presents a methodology and case study of designing for multi sensorial interactive product experiences, within the context of postgraduate degree level Industrial Design education. Building on literature spanning product and interaction semantics, and multimodal product experiences, the paper establishes a stepped approach to integrate up to six different sensory modalities (sight, touch, presence, sound, smell, taste) into a user-product interaction scenario. A product design project (bedside al...
Integrating multi-period quantity flexibility contracts with a capacitated production and inventory planning Kayhan, Mehmet; Kayalıgil, Sinan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2008) This research introduces a general approach for integrating a probabilistic model of the changes in the committed orders with an analytical model of production and inventory planning under multi-period Quantity Flexibility contracts. We study a decentralized structure where a capacitated manufacturer, capable of subcontracting, serves multiple contract buyers who actually perform forecasts on a rolling horizon basis. We model the evolution of buyers' commitments as a multiplicative forecast evolution proces...
Analysis of a deterministic demand production/inventory system under nonstationary supply uncertainty Gullu, R; Onol, E; Erkip, N (Informa UK Limited, 1997-08-01) In this article we investigate a periodic review inventory model under deterministic dynamic demand and supply unavailability. In a given period, supply is either available or completely unavailable with given probabilities. Supply unavailability probabilities are nonstationary over time. We show the optimality of an order-up-to level policy, and obtain a newsboy-like formula that determines the optimal order-up-to levels. Our formula would provide guidence as to the appropriate amount of inventory to stock...
