TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine whether supplier involvement in new product development can produce significant improvements in financial returns and/or product design performance and test these proposed relationships using survey data collected from a group of global organizations and find support for the relationships based on the results of a multiple regression analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conceptualized, developed, and validated six dimensions of SCM practices (strategic supplier partnership, customer relationship, information sharing, information quality, internal lean practices, and postponement).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of power on factors of supplier satisfaction were empirically tested to understand the power-satisfaction link in supply chain relationships, and the results showed that power-affected buyer-seller relationship had a significant positive effect on both performance and satisfaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the literature on build-to-order supply chain management (BOSC), focusing on four major areas of decision-making: organizational competitiveness, the development and implementation of BOSC, the operations of BOC, and information technology in BOC.

TL;DR: A multi-dimensional framework that enables comprehensive product architecture assessments and builds on existing product characteristic concepts such as component commonality, product platforms, and product modularity is developed.

TL;DR: Simulation-based rolling schedule procedures for analyzing the manufacturer's ordering policies, transportation activities, and the vendor's manufacturing and order fulfillment processes under five alternative integration strategies provide economic insight that fosters the sharing of technological and strategic efforts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify five archetypes of supplier-supplier relationships and present working propositions that associate the antecedent conditions that lead to these archetypes and eventual performance implications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of implementing the international standard ISO 9000 on measures of business and operating performance, and they found that installation of ISO 9000 is positively related to use of ISO 9001, and use ofISO 9001 is positively linked to operating performance.

TL;DR: A review of 103 survey-based articles published in the Journal of Operations Management between 1993 and 2001 shows that listwise deletion, which is often the least accurate technique of dealing with missing data, is heavily utilized by OM researchers.

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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a typology of supply chain configurations that contributes to tie together terms that have been used disjointly for describing various forms of supply chains.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report results from case studies of four Internet-ordering and home-delivery grocers and 2440 of their customers and assess the degree of integration between marketing and operations and the relationship with customer behavioral intentions.

TL;DR: It is found that once the number of different products increases above some threshold level, the TP structure is preferred under both performance metrics, and guidance is offered to managers using either structure on where to allocate resources for performance improvement.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship and supply chain processes between a notebook computer manufacturer and five component suppliers, and two distinct reaction strategies emerged from these five buyer-supplier dyads.

TL;DR: In this article, a profit maximization model was developed to jointly obtain optimal policies for return policy and modularity level in terms of certain market reaction parameters, and a number of managerial guidelines for using marketing and operational strategy variables to influence reaction parameters so as to obtain the maximum benefit from the market.

TL;DR: A goal-programming modeling approach to address three-dimensional concurrent engineering problems involving product, process and supply chain design and the model enables straightforward representation of the interrelations among multiple objectives and analysis of tradeoffs among those that exhibit conflicts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the last mile of the retail supply chain and highlight the need for recognizing product type differences in configuring order fulfillment processes in electronic business-to-customer (B2C) transactions.

TL;DR: The results indicate that both VE and IT had positive influences on business performance, and it was shown that the impact of the alignment between VE

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide conceptual clarity and new empirical findings for the question of whether or not TQM is universal in its applicability and provide a stronger theoretical basis for the universal applicability of TQMs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed organization clusters based on entrepreneurial orientation as intangible resources to classify organizations within a retail pharmacy industry, and tested if the entrepreneurial orientations of the resultant groups within the pharmacy industry were related to their perception of the environment, organizational factors, and performance outcomes.

TL;DR: The proposed methodology, called Product Chain Decision Model (PCDM), uses an abstracted network to model supply chain systems and an industry example of joint supply chain and product design is described to illustrate the application of PCDM.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out an empirical test of the order-winners framework in manufacturing organizations and found a negative relationship between misfit to an ideal profile defined in the framework and business performance in domestic market share.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and describe service design and operational factors relevant to volunteer satisfaction in not-for-profit organizations, and explore the elements of service delivery that impact volunteer satisfaction.

TL;DR: A special issue on Coordinating Product Design, Process Design, and Supply Chain Design Decisions was published in 2003 to bring awareness to and to spur scholarly research into this topic as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between organizational publicness and operations-related quality practices in U.S. hospitals and found that the publicness dimensions of ownership and control are related to some quality management practices, with control having a significant effect throughout the studied models.

TL;DR: Using a simulation of a multi-tier supply chain-system, results show that current vehicle supply systems are not capable of supporting BTO due to insufficient feedback between supply and demand, as well as due to the strong reliance on forecasting in the scheduling process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of two distinct yet related strategies on applied supply chain knowledge and market performance were examined: a build-to-order (BTO) and a just-in-time (JIT) strategy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined the changing role of design engineers and discussed their impact on setting clear project targets and sharing knowledge about customers, and investigated the impact of these variables on product development productivity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the results of an empirical study comparing application of service management principles in one public sector area, further education (FE) colleges, with private sector service organizations.

TL;DR: Part B completes the special issue by identifying future research opportunities, beyond those highlighted within the seven papers that form Part A and Part B of this special issue on Coordinating product design, process design, and supply chain design decisions.
