Emerging production and information technologies have increased competition and consumer expectations, this leads to ever-shrinking product life cycles, volatile and unpredictable markets. In addition, natural disasters, accidents, supply disruptions increased the risk in today’s global and long supply chains. Keeping costs down and customers satisfied in a global marketplace requires companies to proactively manage supply and demand using state of art techniques, technologies and practices. This proposal describes a research program for building novel optimization models and efficient solution mechanisms that enable contemporary supply chains to optimally match demand and supply through demand management and sourcing decisions. The resulting modeling, analysis, and algorithmic development will also contribute advances in applied optimization theory and large-scale problem solving.

Optimal pricing and production decisions in utilizing reusable containers Atamer, Busra; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin (2013-06-01) In this study, we focus on pricing and production decisions in utilizing reusable containers with stochastic customer demand. We consider a manufacturer that sells a single product to the customers in reusable containers with two supply options: (i) brand-new containers and (ii) returned containers from customers. The return quantity depends on both customer demand and the acquisition fee determined by the manufacturer. The unit cost of production using brand-new containers is different than the unit cost o...
Impact of demand uncertainty on facility layouts: distributed versus dynamic facility layouts Efeoğlu, Begün; Çelik, Melih; Süral, Haldun; Department of Industrial Engineering (2016) Due to recent gradual decrease in product life cycles and lead times and increase in diversity and variability of demand, traditional methods based on product or process layouts are losing their effectiveness. This thesis investigates the effect of demand uncertainty on the choice of layout type in the stochastic integrated facility layout problems (IFLP), which aims to determine the material and product flows among (copies of) work centers and machines, in conjunction with their locations within the facili...
The Impact of supply base complexity on firm performance Memiş, Huriye; Akın Ateş, Melek.; Department of Business Administration (2019) Supply chain complexity has become a significant concern of the companies especially in the past decade. As a response to this, there have been several studies examining supply chain complexity and performance implications. However, studies focusing on upstream supply chain complexity is rather scant. Sources of supply base complexity and their impacts on firm performance is still under-investigated. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of supply base complexity on firm performance. Supply ...
Joint quantity flexibility for multiple products in a decentralized supply chain Karakaya, Selcuk; Bakal, İsmail Serdar (2013-02-01) In this study, we analyze a decentralized supply chain with a single retailer and a single manufacturer where the retailer sells multiple products in a single period. The products differ in terms of a limited number of features only. The retailer places initial orders based on preliminary demand forecasts at the beginning of the period and has an opportunity to modify its initial order after receiving perfect demand information. However, the final orders of the retailer are constrained by its initial orders...
Assessing Information Technology Use in Organizations: Developing a Framework Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2011-10-07) Increasing use of current and developing information technologies (IT) within business and production processes is a required transformation to survive in the market. However. IT should be well-managed to be adapted by an organization as a whole. This study proposes a new model for the assessment of IT use in organizations. The aim is to assist decision making processes in information technology management through exploring strength and weaknesses of organization on IT tools and applications. The model has ...
