During the past two decades firms have adopted many types of functional improvement programs. A goal of this paper is to study interactions of operations programs with improvement programs in other functions. An important issue is whether these programs are complements (or substitutes): that is, whether implementation of a pair of programs adds more value (or loses value) than the sum of the individual programs. Recent advances based upon Topkis's (1998) theory of supermodularity have created a framework to establish sufficient conditions to guarantee that two interacting activities or programs are complementary. But not all programs can be characterized by supermodularity. In particular, I show that programs that involve uncertainty reduction do not fit the supermodularity framework with respect to other programs. In the absence of supermodularity, complementarity properties can sometimes be established, but some assumption about the production function must be assumed. Assuming that production is based upon queuing technology, three programs are studied and I show that complement/substitute properties can be established. The three programs are uncertainty reduction about a key demand parameter, elimination of biased estimates of cost and direct cost savings. I show that uncertainty reduction and bias removal can be complements or substitutes; but, uncertainty reduction and cost estimation bias elimination are both complementary to direct cost savings. Also, several operations improvement programs are shown to be complementary to each other. The fact that the operations improvement programs are complementary to all other programs is significant for the organizational design of capital budgeting, as this assures that the true project value is higher than its standalone net present value. Results are generalized by presenting conditions that assure the complementarity or substitutability of these three types of programs. Because batching/lot sizing and any fixed charge problem (such as facility location) have cost structures similar to queuing, the results are shown to apply to a broad range of technologies.

This book assesses the state of international manufacturing strategy and clarifies how recent developments, for example regarding configuration, technology, and the environment, are impacting on its content and direction and on its relationship to manufacturing performance. In providing up-to-date coverage of the consequences of such forces and factors for international manufacturing, this book aims to expand the debate concerning international manufacturing strategy and cast light on its current evolution. International manufacturing is operating within a time of great flux. While offshoring of activities has dominated over recent decades, nearshoring and reshoring are increasingly being considered and observed in practice. At the same time, technologies such as 3D-printing are gaining traction and the role of ICT and data analytics is increasingly important in the international manufacturing landscape while digitization becomes more prevalent and the embrace of the Internet of Things (IOT) accelerates. Furthermore, issues related to the environment are figuring more prominently in international manufacturing considerations, and assumptions regarding the long-term cost of energy are being called into question. International manufacturing is also experiencing greater servitization.

Public Technology Procurement and Innovation studies public technology procurement as an instrument of innovation policy. In the past few years, public technology procurement has been a relatively neglected topic in the theoretical and research literature on the economics of innovation. Similarly, preoccupation with `supply-side' measures has led policy-makers to avoid making very extensive use of this important `demand-side' instrument. These trends have been especially pronounced in the European Union. There, as this book will argue, existing legislation governing public procurement presents obstacles to the use of public technology procurement as a means of stimulating and supporting technological innovation. Recently, however, there has been a gradual re-awakening of practical interest in such measures among policy-makers in the EU and elsewhere. For these and other related measures, this volume aims to contribute to a serious reconsideration of public technology procurement from the complementary standpoints of innovation theory and innovation policy.
