Dual role of price and myopia in a marketing channel
European Journal of Operational Research, 2012Co-Authors: Guiomar Martín-herrán, Sihem Taboubi, Georges ZaccourAbstract:In this paper we study a dynamic two-player channel where the manufacturer controls the wholesale price and the investment in quality and the retailer chooses the retail price. We consider that the retail price affects both the demand and the perceived quality of the brand and that its variations contribute to the building of an internal reference price. One of the model’s distinctive features is that it accounts for the two meanings of price, i.e., its classical objective measure of the cost of acquiring a particular quantity of the Product, and its subjective roles as an assessment of the quality of the Product and an evaluation of gains or losses (deal vs. sacrifice) resulting from buying a “cheap” or an “Expensive” Product. This dual computation is done with respect to the internal reference price.

Our objective is to investigate the impact of retailer's myopia on the pricing strategies and payoffs of channel members in this context. A myopic retailer is an agent that disregards the effects of its pricing strategy on the evolution of the perceived brand quality and the reference price. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Sanitary/hygienic equipment design.
2020Co-Authors: S. F. BilgiliAbstract:Proper cleaning and effective sanitation is an essential component of processing poultry, as it contributes significantly to the prevention of Product contamination with microorganisms that cause food-borne disease and spoilage. Rapid expansion of Production volume, increased further-processing and introduction of diverse ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat Products, sophistication of the processing equipment, implementation of HACCP and microbial finished-Product standards, and, more importantly, Expensive Product recalls have necessitated greater control over the cleaning and sanitation process. A sanitary process should effectively protect raw and/or cooked Products from physical (i.e., metal, plastic, bone, packaging materials etc.), chemical (residues of cleaning and disinfection chemicals, lubricants, coolants etc.), and biological (food-borne pathogens and/or their toxins) hazards. In spite of this, many hazards continue to find their way into the processing environment and ultimately into the finished Products. Microorganisms are naturally introduced into the poultry processing environments in high numbers with the live birds and, when the conditions are suitable, from growth niches by actively multiplying within the system. It is generally accepted that processing equipment should not be a direct or indirect source of microbial contamination. Many regulatory and advisory bodies have introduced hygienic design and processing guidelines. This presentation will review the recently introduced sanitary processing equipment design principles and equipment checklist by the American Meat Institute. A plant designed, equipped, operated and maintained with internationally accepted hygienic and sanitary standards will produce safe and wholesome poultry Products for the consumer.

Optimal design for step-stress accelerated degradation tests
IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2006Co-Authors: Chen-mao Liao, Sheng-tsaing TsengAbstract:Today, many Products are designed to function for a long period of time before they fail. For such highly-reliable Products, collecting accelerated degradation test (ADT) data can provide useful reliability information. However, it usually requires a moderate sample size to implement an ADT. Hence, ADT is not applicable for assessing the lifetime distribution of a newly developed or very Expensive Product which only has a few available test units on hand. Recently, a step-stress ADT (SSADT) has been suggested in the literature to overcome the above difficulty. However, in designing an efficient SSADT experiment, the issue about how to choose the optimal settings of variables was not discussed, such as sample size, measurement frequency, and termination time. In this study, we first use a stochastic diffusion process to model a typical SSADT problem. Next, under the constraint that the total experimental cost does not exceed a predetermined budget, the optimal settings of these variables are obtained by minimizing the asymptotic variance of the estimated 100p/sup th/ percentile of the Product's lifetime distribution. Finally, an example is used to illustrate the proposed method.
