A Review of Flexible Processes and Operations

Shixin Wang et al.

Summary: Flexible operations strategy can effectively hedge against uncertainty and adapt to rapidly changing environments, impacting performance in manufacturing and service applications. Research focuses on finding cost-effective system designs that can capture the benefits of flexibility. Even a small amount of flexibility can effectively mitigate demand uncertainty and supply-demand mismatch.

Pooling Queues with Strategic Servers: The Effects of Customer Ownership

Mor Armony et al.

Summary: Even though pooling queues offer operational benefits, these benefits may not always be realized due to customer ownership and servers' different focus on customer processing time and waiting time. In certain situations, adopting a dedicated queue configuration can lead to significantly lower throughput times.
