Pricing and lead time decisions for make-to-order firms with contingent orders

Article Abstract:

The pricing of goods offered by made-to-order (MTO) firms is incorporated in the bids they submit to their prospective clients. The bases for such pricing includes the MTO firms' resource requirements and manufacturing costs. However, MTO firms that fail to win in the bidding process risk financial loss from the unused production capacity it prepared for the project. MTO firms can increase the likelihood of winning a project by offering reduced manufacturing and delivery time on the products. They may also reduce their risks by simultaneously bidding for similar projects.

Coordination of pricing and multi-period production for constant priced goods

Article Abstract:

A strategy was developed to simultaneously determine a single pricing and production schedule for companies producing products that have seasonal demand or that have contracts to produce products for a length of time at a single price. The strategy involves a multiplicative model of seasonality that assumes that intensity of demand declines in the price while price decreases in the strength of demand. The method also enables the identification of cost function and the assessment of the profit of products with seasonality factors still unidentified.
