Industry 4.0 connotes a new industrial revolution centered around cyber-physical systems. It
posits that the real-time connection of physical and digital systems, along with new enabling …

In this paper we consider the impact of 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, on a simple
supply chain, consisting of a manufacturer and retailer, that serves stochastic customer …

We present a general framework to study the design of spare parts logistics in the presence
of three-dimensional (3-D) printing technology. We consider multiple parts facing stochastic …

We investigate the benefits of on‐site printing at remote geographic locations, where access
to spare parts is intermittent and supplies are replenished at fixed intervals. Organizations …

Additive manufacturing (AM) was initially designed for prototyping and product
personalization, where high production quantities were not required. Now, it is also …

The impact of 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, on a supply chain, consisting of a
manufacturer and retailer, that utilizes a wholesale-price contract and serves stochastic …

Given the promise of three‐dimensional (3D) printing, also known as additive
manufacturing, some innovative consumer goods companies have started to experiment …

Problem definition: We consider an OEM supplying a single part to multiple buyers over an
infinite horizon. We study how the OEM can digitize the spare parts supply chain by …

Conventional wisdom suggests that capacity expansion could increase (or at least not
decrease) firms' profits. This paper shows that this does not always hold for 3D printing …

3D printing, as a production technology, differs from conventional technologies in three
characteristics: design freedom—that is, it can handle certain product designs that …
