Tractable multi-product pricing under discrete choice models
… an assortment of differentiated substitutable products to price-sensitive customers. Prices are chosen to maximize profit, subject to inventory/ capacity constraints, as well as more general constraints. The profit is not even a quasi-concave function of the prices under the basic multinomial …

Multi-echelon multi-product inventory strategy in a steel company
This thesis examines a distribution multi-echelon production-inventory system subject to stochastic demand in the steel industry. The sponsor company, Ternium (a South American steel producer), needs to provide short service times under low inventory costs. The goal of this thesis is to generate a …

Muli-stage [i.e. Multi-stage] multi-product lotsize sequencing of operations
In this thesis, a multiple-stage - product sequence selection problem was mathematically modeled and analyzed. A fortran program that calculates the machine requirements for each machine station and each product type, and searches for the optimal product sequence combination was developed. Four …

Stochastic Programming Approaches to Multi-product Inventory Management Problems with Substitution
The presence of substitution among multiple similar products plays an important role in inventory management. It has been observed in the literature that incorporating the impact of substitution among products can substantially improve the profit and reduce the understock or overstock risk. This …

Scope and Scale Economies for Multi-Product Firms: Microeconometric Evidence From Firm-Level Panel Data
… significant firm differences in output mixes and production efficiency. Finn-specific effects are found to be positive and significant. That is, technology of a firm that produces corn, soybeans and wheat can be different than one that produce only corn, or corn and soybeans. Even though this …

Economies of Size in Multiple Cropping in Northern Thailand: A Random Coefficient Model Approach
To raise production and make efficient use of farm resources, size efficiency and factors affecting size efficiency are examined. The Chiang Mai Valley, the most intensive agricultural area in Northern Thailand, is chosen for this study. Since the Valley is characterized by multi-product farming, …

Exporting, foreign direct investment and firm heterogeneity in Thailand
… firm-specific characteristics such as ownership, productivity, firm size, training and establishment location also significantly determine the probability of exporting. Second, we consider the role of the financial factors and the export participation decision. The internal finance of a firm as a …

A theory of product-based competition
This dissertation develops a theory of product-based competition which provides a comprehensive conceptualization of organization/environment interaction in the context of multi-product manufacturing firms. In particular, it achieves three goals. First, it creates a dynamic theory which integrates …
