Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines subcontracting as a strategy for aggregate planning in production and inventory control. The author proposes a model in which subcontracting can be explicitly considered as a production planning strategy. The possible market and non-market subcontracting mechanisms and their transaction costs are discussed. The author shows that a set of feasible subcontracting mechanisms in which firms coordinate their production via subcontracts Pareto-dominates other mechanisms if the transaction costs are equal. An example with quadratic cost functions and a coordination subcontract is studied; linear decision rules for production, inventory, and subcontracting are derived. In the example, subcontracting reduces the variability in production and inventory. The same interpretation can be used for flexibility of manufacturing resources. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334431159_0
