Framework for Product-Mix and Changeover Manufacturing Flexibility
Facing new challenges and more uncertainty, manufacturers see the need for flexible solutions and the need to strive to achieve flexibility. However, flexibility is still not well understood and no unambiguous understanding of flexibility exists. The paper first summarizes the state of the field of flexibility, exploring different definitions and understandings of the flexibility concept from t...
متن کاملEnvironmental considerations on the optimal product mix
Several types of regulations limit the amount of different emissions that a firm may create from its production processes. Depending on the emission, these regulations could include threshold values, penalties and taxes, and/or emission allowances that can be traded. However, many firms try to comply with these regulations without a systematic plan, often leading not only to emission violations...
متن کاملSpillovers in Product and Process Innovation : Evidence from Manufacturing Firms
This paper proposes a new empirical approach to assess the impact of knowledge spillovers on firms' productivity and demand. I consider a model where process innovations spillovers to other firms raise firms relative efficiency and technological diffusion of product innovations enhances firms' demand. By modelling knowledge capital as a function of own investment in R\&D and spillovers, I can c...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Plant-level Productivity in U.S. Manufacturing
Recent work in I.O. has emphasized the importance of firmand plant-level heterogeneity in total factor productivity. In this paper, we estimate establishmentlevel productivity for the entire U.S. manufacturing sector from 1976 until 1999 by using the Census Bureau’s Longitudinal Research Database combined with the Bureau’s Longitudinal Business Database. We characterize the time series properti...
متن کاملDo Rich and Poor Countries Specialize in a Different Mix of Goods? Evidence from Product-Level US Trade Data
Unit values of US imports at the product level reveal a substantial degree of vertical product differentiation among countries exporting to the US. This specialization, consistent with both the factor proportions framework and product cycle theory, is not apparent by looking at trade flows alone. Two trends stand out. First, the portion of US import products originating in either rich or poor c...
