We analyze the inventory decisions of a manufacturer who has ample production capacity and also uses returned products to satisfy customer demand. All returned items go through an evaluation process, at the end of which the decision of disposal, direct reselling, or rework is made for each unit according to a predetermined procedure. We quantify the value of information/visibility on the reverse channel for the manufacturer by making comparisons among three approaches: No information-naive; no visibility-enlightened; and full visibility. We find the value of visibility increases with the comparative length of the reverse channel and volume, volatility, and usability of returns. Furthermore, the smarter the manufacturer, the less benefit visibility brings to the system. By this analysis, we quantify the visibility savings of radio frequency identification (RFID) in the reverse channel as a candidate enabler technology. We also provide numerical examples to show that practical approximations in inventory management may have acceptable penalties to the manufacturer with visibility.

Integrating knowledge with suppliers at the R D manufacturing interface
ROSELL, DAVID T; LAKEMOND, NICOLETTE; Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı (Emerald, 2014-02-01)
Purpose - Many manufacturing firms source components and subsystems from suppliers. Consequently, the suppliers' product and manufacturing knowledge is a central concern at the interface between R&D and manufacturing. This paper aims to specifically investigate how supplier knowledge is integrated and what role trust plays in knowledge integration with suppliers at the R&D-manufacturing interface. Design/methodology/approach - The study is based on qualitative case studies of two different collaborations w...
Managing product variety through delayed product differentiation using vanilla boxes
Burhan, Özlem; Meral, Fatma Sedef; Department of Industrial Engineering (2004)
In an attempt to reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction, manufacturers have been adopting strategies such as Delayed Product Differentiation (DPD) while managing broader product lines. In this study, first a general framework on DPD is formed in the light of basic articles in the literature. The vanilla box assembly process which is a special form of modular design type of DPD is modeled and analyzed. In the vanilla box assembly process, inventory is stored in a special form of semi-finished product...
Managing word-of-mouth with capacity allocation and advertisement
Dipkaya, Asya; Batun, Sakine; Çavdar, Bahar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2021-9)
We study the advertising and capacity decisions of a service firm under endogenous demand and multiple time periods. Consumers are exposed to two types of information: experiences of other consumers regarding fill rate of the service through WoM communication and the information provided by the firm through advertisements. As a result, consumer perception towards the firm keeps getting updated, which impacts demand. We examine fixed versus variable capacity cases. In each case, we study how the firm's decis...
Retail Channel Management with Product Differentiation
Uğur, Gülçin; Karaer, Özgen (null; 2016-05-06)
We analyze a monopolist retailer's channel management decisions in a product differentiation context. Historically, retailers developed a physical outlet presence after developing their primary brand chain. Here, we evaluate the online channel decisions of a retailer and its interaction with the physical channels available; possibly both primary and outlet chains
Managing business lifecycle using ebIOP
Tambag, Y; Coşar, Ahmet (Wiley, 2003-11-10)
In this paper, we describe how ebIOP (an ebXML compliant B2B interoperability platform) manages the business lifecycle by providing an example scenario. ebIOP provides a common storage for ebIOP components (ebXML applications). ebIOP defines an ebIOP component to be a software implementation of one or more ebXML specifications which is a solution of an e-commerce pattern (description of an e-commerce problem). ebIOP contains a server that listens to a port over the TCP/IP protocol for client requests and pr...
