Analysis of back-office outsourcing contracts for financial services operations / P. Basu in Journal of the operational research society (JORS), Vol. 63 N° 12 (Décembre 2012)

Lack of service inventories, the inability to backlog demand and significant shortage and overage costs complicate the problem. In such situations, outsourcing all or part of the demand to third-party vendors provides a viable and cost effective option for the firm. Motivated by the remittance processing operations of a Fortune 100 company we examine the usefulness of complementing in-house staffing with different outsourcing arrangements. We study capacity-based and volume-based contracts between a financial services firm and an outsourcing vendor. We examine the impact of demand characteristics on the parameters of contract choice. Through extensive numerical analysis, we ascertain that neither contract is universally preferred, but cost and revenue structures along with demand characteristics determine contract choice.

A stochastic dynamic programming model for valuing exclusivity from encroachment in franchising / S. Tikoo in Journal of the operational research society (JORS), Vol. 63 N° 2 (Fevrier 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of the operational research society (JORS) > Vol. 63 N° 2 (Fevrier 2012) . - pp. 151–159 Titre : A stochastic dynamic programming model for valuing exclusivity from encroachment in franchising Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : S. Tikoo, Auteur ; S. Liu, Auteur ; S. K. Nair, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 151–159 Note générale : Recherche opérationnelle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Franchising  Territorial  encroachment  Exclusivity  Stochastic  dynamic  programming Index. décimale : 001.424 Résumé : Valuing territorial exclusivity in franchising is difficult because of the uncertainty associated with variables such as future franchise sales and brand strength. We present a stochastic dynamic programming model to value the exclusivity option from the perspective of both the franchisor and the franchisee. When there is positive value to the franchisor of including the exclusivity option in the contract, and to the franchisee of purchasing this option, the likelihood of franchisor-franchisee encroachment-related conflict is reduced. We also discuss structural results and explain our results using a numerical example.
