The paper develops a theoretical background on the co-production approach as an extension of operations management principles, in which co-production function assumes well-defined functional form with the input presence of both firm and customers. The co-production approach not only views a customer as a co-producer, but also conducts strategic trade-offs between a firm and customers in service...

  In this paper, modeling and optimization of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis is considered in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor using an industrial Fe-Cu-K catalyst. A one dimensional pseudo-homogenous plug flow model without axial dispersion is developed for converting syngas to heavy hydrocarbons. The effects of temperature, pressure, H2 to CO ratio in feed stream, and CO molar flow on the mass flow r...

a r t i c l e i n f o Innovation is a key source of knowledge-based competitive advantage. However, research on how firms' co-production enhances innovation is scarce. Thus, this study not only integrates the three dimensions of social capital and examines these dimensions' separate effects on co-production but also incorporates the roles of absorptive capacity and self-efficacy, analyzing thei...

The “woolliness” and “methodological hurdles” of co-production make it challenging to compare contrast different policy initiatives their outcomes, distil “what works”, for whom in what circumstances. Inspired by Nabatchi et al. (2017) 3Ws typology the Who, When, What co-production, we draw on theory deriving from a narrative literature review empirical research cases Scotland Australia. We pro...

Recent years have seen an increase in the use of lignocellulosic materials development bioproduct, biorefinery technologies focused on process integration for production different valuable coproducts order to reduce overall processing cost. In this study, agricultural wastes from rice straw were used co-production bioethanol and xylitol. Where is produced cellulosic fraction xylitol hemicellulo...

background and objective: production of polyhydroxyalkanoate copolyesters consisting of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate units was for the first time studied using the production strain hydrogenophaga pseudoflava based on sustainable raw materials. this strategy provides for increased cost efficiency in pha production and in enhanced material quality. material and methods: as a particula...

Background: ‘Co-production’ is one of the key concepts in evidence-informed policy and practice – terms both its theoretical importance practical applications − being consistently discussed as most effective strategy for mobilising evidence contexts. The concept co-production was developed (almost) independently across multiple disciplines has been employed various fields including environment,...
