Remanufacturing and the Component Commonality Decision (2013, background): “…Toktay et al. (2000) demonstrate the value of new component sourcing policies that take into account future product returns; Debo et al. (2005), Ferguson and Toktay (2006), and Ferrer and Swaminathan (2006) argue that product pricing for new and remanufactured products should be undertaken…”
Product architecture assessment: a tool to link product, process, and supply chain design decisions (2005, background): “Most of these models view the product family design problem as optimizing the tradeoff between commonality and distinctiveness (Desai et al., 2001; Krishnan and Gupta, 2001), while some pursue an optimization of the supply chain by rearranging process sequences (Garg, 1999).”
Product Line Design and Production Technology (2007, background): “In a product line design setting, Dobson and Kalish (1988) consider product-specific variable and fixed costs. However, the model is static (so inventory is not modeled) and these costs are independent of other decision variables and demand volume. Even with these simplifications their formulation l”
