{"product_id":"9783844105209","title":"Production Phase-Out","description":"Product development and ramp-up is a well-researched challenge for industry. However, how to end the production of a product is a blind spot for industry and science although practitioners are calling for scientific support. This book sheds light on the topic of production phase-out by offering measures that can turn a process that is perceived as uninspiring to a success pillar for companies.\u003cp\u003eThe book reveals cross-industry insights on the relatively new topic of phase-out. The interview findings are mirrored with the Phase-Out Process Model, which describes activities and tasks to be performed during a phase-out. As an instrument to support the implementation of the process model, the Phase-Out Production Planning and Control was developed as an add-on to standard production IT support. It enables companies to better forecast spare parts needs and expected remaining stock costs at the proposed end of production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough a qualitative and a conceptual research phase, the findings of this dissertation show that there is a high potential of improving phase-out in the industry. This manuscript provides theoretical and managerial implications to pave the way towards enhancing phase-outs. This potential can be raised by implementing the proposed formalization structures and mathematical models based on empirical and conceptual research. This book, therefore, helps to promote the effective implementation of a formalized phase-out in company's management practice to make their business more efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Josef Eul Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062489137392,"sku":"9783844105209","price":89.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783844105209_p0.jpg?v=1763694660","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783844105209","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
