High-end equipment oriented maintenance, repair and operation (MRO) management is crucial for asset intensive industries. The existing works mainly focus on providing the best possible joint optimi...
Third-party remanufacturers (TPRs) enter the market and compete with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Because of multiple uncertainty of the remanufacturing process, the variable remanufacturing cost is random and its true value cannot be observed by OEMs. In this paper, we consider the competition between one TPR and one OEM, and then investigate incentives of cost information sharing. The remanufactured product quantity is constrained by the new product quantity. If the new production ...

This paper presents the dynamics of engineer-to-order (ETO) practice through Integration Definition for Function Modelling (IDEF) practice. The paper describes and defines how an ETO manufacturer u...
Companies operating with an engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturing strategy produce customised solutions for their customers. While they may be able to build on a base of existing sub-solutions, e.g. standard product structures, modules or parts when engineering a customer-specific solution, they often have to create something completely new to satisfy customers’ requirements. However, it is not always clear to ETO companies what the costs associated with making customer specific solutions are, o...
Capital goods companies produce high value products such as power plant or ships, which have deep and complex product structures, with components having long process routings. Contracts usually inc...
