This article proposes a set of math-based approaches for making commonality and modularity decisions when designing product families. The performance of products that share some components is usually compromised relative to the individual optimum. This deviation occurs because of the commonality constraints that are included in the optimal design problem, especially when the objectives in the m...

For (c,,..., c„) in C, let C(cx,..., c„) denote the class of functions/(z) = 1 + cxz + ■ ■ • + cnz" + 2*>_„+ia*z* which are analytic and satisfy Re/(z) > 0 in the unit disc. The unique function of least H2 norm in C(cx,. .., c„) is explicitly determined. In this paper we consider a minimal interpolation problem at the origin, for the class H2 n C, where H2 denotes the well-known Hardy space for...

The concepts of cross-theoretical and empirical integrations are taken into consideration at the methodological, theoretical, empirical, practical levels. Some conditions for integration theories highlighted analyzed. Among them differentiation, potential generalization, dynamic structures divergent functions, levels multidimensionality, mediation, relativity complementarity, integrative qualit...

Background and Objective: The increasing demand for the discovery of next-generation antimicrobials necessitates the use of plant extracts as alternatives. This study investigates the antibacterial efficacy of extracted cinnamon essential oil (CEO) and commercial cinnamaldehyde (CN) against foodborne pathogens. Methods: Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was used to screen the antimicrobial pot...

We study the value of component commonality in a periodic review assemble-to-order system, introduced by Akçay and Xu in 2004, where an independent base stock policy and a first-come-first-served allocation rule are used, and the base stock levels and the component allocation are optimized jointly. We show that lowering component commonality may yield a higher type-II service level. The lower d...

In investigating the effects of algorithmic trading on stock market liquidity and commonality in liquidity in different market conditions in an electronic limit order market, we find algorithmic trading increases stock liquidity by narrowing quoted and effective bid–ask spreads. Furthermore, algorithmic trading decreases commonality in liquidity; this finding is robust across a variety of liqui...

At a time when product differentiation is a major indicator of success in the global market, each company is looking to offer competitive and highly differentiated products. This differentiation issue is restricted by the design of platformbased products that share modules and/or components. It is not easy to differentiate products in a market that is often overwhelmed by numerous options. A pl...
