Managing reusable packaging via a deposit system

Mahyar Taheri1,2, Yann Bouchery2, Sandra Transchel2, Jan C. Fransoo3

1Kühne Logistics University; 2The Centre of Excellence in Supply Chain (CESIT), KEDGE Business School; 3Tilburg University School of Economics and Management

Increasingly, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies make use of reusable packaging and manage them via a deposit system. We study a CPG company that offers a product in reusable and disposable packaging, and manages reusable packaging via a deposit system. We formulate a decision model in which the CPG company sets product price and deposit fee under price and deposit sensitive demand while considering packaging durability. We provide analytical conditions for optimality and procedure to solve



Online demand response programs and optimal price determination

Marie-Louise Arlt1, Gunther Gust2, Dirk Neumann2

1LMU, Germany; 2Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg, Germany

Power systems require new approaches to system operations to respond to the increased volatility of solar or wind energy. In this paper, we suggest a novel online demand response program with variable prices. Our program is able to incorporate new information on changing wholesale market conditions while notifying load operators early enough to enable response. We furthermore propose Deep Reinforcement Learning as a tool to identify effective prices.



Privately-owned battery storage - Re-shaping the way we do electricity

Christian Kaps, Serguei Netessine

Wharton

In this research project, we aim to understand when private households with existing or planned

rooftop solar installations should invest in electricity storage and how these investment decisions

affect their electricity usage patterns as well as the market structure overall. We use a novel household panel datasets to structurally estimate households consumption utility functions and valuations for self-produced solar energy.



What are the drivers of (low) farm productivity? A study of smallholder coconut farming in the Philippines

Canberk Ucel

The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania

I study farmer poverty and productivity with unique data from 2,000 Philippine coconut farms and field work. I find strong evidence that micro-level farming practices account for large productivity differences and that best fertilization practices vary with environment. Supporting organizations should develop customized farming advice and assist farmers with fine details of implementation, an approach not currently preferred, but increasingly available through emerging information technologies.



The impact of cost auditing on supply chain social responsibility

Haiying Yang, Zhengping Wu

Syracuse University, United States of America

Firms increasingly recognize the importance of their upstream suppliers’ social responsibility. However, they may fail to heed the unintended negative consequences of their own common practices on the suppliers’ social responsibility decision. Our study shows that cost auditing may undermine the supplier's social responsibility choice, which sheds light on the reluctance of many suppliers to commit to social responsibility programs.



Input material reduction incentives vs. scrap recycling for closed loop supply chains

Tolga Aydinliyim1, Eren Cil2, Nagesh Murthy2

1Baruch College, CUNY, United States of America; 2University of Oregon, United States of America

We consider contracting between a supplier of specialty material forgings and a buyer that manufactures airplane components by extensively machining them down. Due to high material removal costs, the buyer prefers forgings to be as similar in geometry and size to the component as possible. We assess the implications of two innovative approaches for improving supply chain performance: (i) Input material reduction incentives via contracting, and (ii) scrap material recycling.
