Abstract

<P>At Hewlett-Packard HP Company, design for manufacturability has recently been adopted as a principle for product design and development. Frequently overlooked is the relationship between design and the eventual customization, distribution, and delivery of the product to multiple markets. Different markets may have different requirements for the product due to differences in taste, language, geographical environment, or government regulations. We use design for localization or design for customization for design processes that take into account the operational and delivery service considerations for the multiple market segments. We developed an inventory model that the HP's Deskjet-Plus Printer Division used to evaluate alternative product and process designs for localization. Significant benefits can be obtained by properly exploring the opportunities in this design for localization concept.</P>

Disposal of Excess Inventory

This paper deals with the problem of disposal of slow-moving or obsolete inventory. For many reasons, companies will find themselves in an overstock situation where the potential sales value of excess stock, less the expected storage costs, does not ...
Continuous Review s, S Policies with Lost Sales

A method is developed to calculate an s, S policy that minimizes the average stationary cost in an inventory system with: constant lead time, fixed order cost, linear holding cost per unit time, linear penalty cost per unit short, discrete compound ...
