Journal ArticleDOI
Towards integrated optimal configuration of platform products, manufacturing processes, and supply chains
TL;DR: The paper uses and extends the concept of Generic Bills of Materials of a product family as a unified framework for qualitatively capturing and representing the structure of its supply chain and proposes an effective heuristic method using Genetic Algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous configuration of platform products and manufacturing supply chains
TL;DR: In this paper, a mixed-integer programming model that integrates both platform product design and material purchase decisions based on cost drivers sensitive to commonality and modularity is developed to optimize decision variables for simultaneously configuring not only platform-based product variants but also their supply chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated Configuration of Platform Products and Supply Chains for Mass Customization: A Game-Theoretic Approach
TL;DR: Flexibility of the suppliers' capability is also found to affect the PPD decisions and the use of platform commonality and modularity has been found generally beneficial not only to the supply chain as a whole but also to individual players that are eventually configured into the game.
Book ChapterDOI
Platform Products Development and Supply Chain Configuration: An Integrated Perspective
Xin Yan Zhang,George Q. Huang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of integrated configuration of platform products and supply chain is formulated as a non-linear mathematical problem and a solution procedure for the problem is proposed, which is applied to a simple numerical example.
