Dealers face unique challenges in meeting local consumers’ choice preferences while balancing limited product configuration inventory with profitability. In MTS markets like the U.S., most dealers can only afford to stock a fraction of the numerous buildable configurations available from the OEM, even with potential vehicle trades among dealers. This study pioneers the investigation into the influence of franchise dealer network dynamics on automotive OEM’s product-level configuration assortment planning, employing a detailed numerical study using simulated data. We also develop an analytical model to characterize the optimal joint product configuration assortment and inventory levels at dealers, considering the OEM’s product assortment.

Wastewater is still an increasing problem for medium to large production industries as traditional wastewater treatments are not much effective, especially for removal of contaminated organic particles and heavy metals. Photocatalytic ultraviolet process is an eco-friendly and promising wastewater treatment since the last one decade with the removal of organic particles. This study examines a textile supply chain management, which uses the photocatalytic ultraviolet process for the wastewater treatment from the production system. The production system plays an important part to exclude wastewater from the system. The unnecessary production run-time not only produces excess garments but also produces excess wastewater, which is blended with dyestuff extracts. A smart production is able to control the garment production based on the necessity and the control of wastewater generation is possible. Despite of the amount of wastewater, the treatment of wastewater gradually becomes a part of the textile supply chain with economic valuation. The textile supply chain management is built by multi-supplier and multi-manufacture, where the garment production is controlled by a smart production system. The manufacturers provide a photocatalytic ultraviolet wastewater treatment and this wastewater treatment positively effects the market demand of garments. The global optimum solutions of the study prove that the use of smart production reduces the cost of the textile supply chain 18.55% followed by the PUV wastewater treatment 16.01%. The results reveal that an involvement of categorized labor for material handling in a textile supply chain management is cost effective rather than using uncategorized labor. Skilled labors are found to be the most sensitive for a textile supply chain management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"283 ","pages":"Article 109557"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143465488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, although both exploitation and exploration of BT can enhance economic and environmental performance, BT exploitation generally has a more substantial impact. This disparity arises because BT exploitation often involves optimizing existing processes (e.g., improving supply chain transparency), leading to more immediate performance improvements. In contrast, BT exploration involves experimental and innovative applications (e.g., developing new BT-based business models) that require a longer time frame to realize benefits. Finally, we discuss the heterogeneity between manufacturing and information technology firms.

Although order picking technologies have advanced, many of these systems still rely on human labour, where workers are exposed to temperatures below −20 °C. Despite wearing protective clothing, prolonged exposure to such cold conditions can lead to cold stress, causing physiological impairments and fatigue, which ultimately reduce performance. Warm rest breaks are crucial to mitigate these adverse effects and maintain productivity. However, there is a dearth of field evidence on the effect of the timing and duration of these breaks on order picking performance. To address this gap, we collaborated with a grocery retailer to examine the impact of rest-break durations on the performance of order pickers in a cold-storage environment set at −21 °C. We analysed 514,953 visits to storage locations by 40 order pickers over four months, using a multilevel model with random intercepts and slopes. Our findings revealed a horizontal S-shaped relationship between work time after a break and order picking time, characterised by an initial increase, a stabilisation period, and then a sharp increase. The results suggest that there is an optimal working period following a rest break during which performance peaks before it begins to decline. This period varies depending on the length of the break, highlighting the importance of strategic scheduling to maximise order picking efficiency in cold-storage environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"283 ","pages":"Article 109560"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143474024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a new two-stage robust optimization framework for enhancing the resilience of the supply chain network against supply facility disruptions with decision-dependent uncertainty (DDU). In this framework, facility location and protection decisions are here-and-now decisions, anticipating the worst realization of uncertainty regarding facility disruption, while allocation decisions are wait-and-see decisions. A two-stage robust optimization model with decision-dependent uncertainty (TRO-DDU) is developed to minimize the system's total cost in the worst-case scenario, including fixed opening costs, protection costs, allocation costs, and penalty costs. To solve the model exactly, a decomposition method based on the simultaneous column-and-constraint generation (C&CG) algorithm is presented. Experimental results show that the importance of supply facilities in the supply chain network varies depending on protection budgets and disruption risk levels. Furthermore, we propose optimal protection plans for managers based on the principles of maximizing marginal efficiency (ME) and average marginal efficiency (AME). Considering the improvement of ME and AME, additional protection budgets are ineffective if the corresponding improvement in efficiency is low. Overall, the results demonstrate how our model strategically mitigates facility disruption risks and enhances supply network resilience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"282 ","pages":"Article 109558"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143453842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
