| Tiivistelmä: | The authors examine component sharing using automotive front brakes as an example. They consider three basic questions: What are the key drivers and trade-offs of component-sharing decisions? How much variation exists in actual component- sharing practice? and How can this variation be explained? They develop an analytic model of component sharing and show through empirical testing that this model explains much of the variation in sharing practice for automotive braking systems. They find that the optimal number of brake rotors is a function of the range of vehicle weights, sales volume, fixed component design and tooling costs, variable costs, and the variation in production volume across the models of the product line. |
