... Visibility of these levels is therefore of high importance to strengthen resilience in supply chains. In addition, customer stages should not be neglected in order to be able to identify and manage risks that arise through customers or on the way to customers [zu den verschiedenen Risikokategorien siehe Götze and Mikus (2015)]. Such customer-and market-related risks arise, among other things, from attributes of the market described as "VUCA", i.e., volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (Christopher, 2018). ...

... Whenever additional requests are released there has to be a new decision as to which sub-set of the additional requests is accepted and which of the additional requests are rejected. Dynamic acceptance problems belong to the class of capacity control problems (Talluri and van Ryzin, 2005), which constitute an important decision problem class in operational RM (Corsten and Gössinger, 2005). The basic challenge in capacity control is to filter an incoming stream of requests so that a scarce resource (the truck) is used in the most profitable way (earning the maximal sum of revenues) by the selected requests. ...

... In the general context of truck scheduling at cross-docking terminals, Tadumadze et al. (2019) have explored flexibility in unloading speeds by incorporating operational personnel planning into the truck scheduling problem. Similarly, Corsten et al. (2020) combine truck scheduling with tactical shift planning. ...

... Customers can choose an alternative product if one they'd prefer isn't available (or choose not to buy any other product). Typically, there is only one round of replacement allowed, so if a client cannot find both her original pick and her alternative choice, the sale is lost (Corsten et al., 2018). ...

... Other suppliers are only contacted, if the negotiation with the actual supplier fails. To coordinate these inter-organizational production processes the well-known procedures for in-house coordination (Corsten & Gossinger, 1998) are of restricted use. Especially, because prerequisites of these procedures, like the information allocation generally do not hold. ...

... reading the menu (this is usually the board behind the register) the customer is also conferred the role of waiter (see e.g. Meffert/Bruhn 2006, 56 and the general presentation in Corsten 2000, 151). The degree of customer integration in this instance becomes a strategic decision for the company (Mascarenhas/Kesavan/Bernacchi 2004). ...

... This is followed by the operationalization of the interdependencies for the specification of the MDM method to the service system at hand. This can be done by defining a 2x2-matrix that contains all four interdependencies per relation between two elements (Corsten et al., 2009), see Figure 2. For the subsequent modularization, a prioritization of the interdependencies is required. ...

... Die Phase Strukturierung sortiert die zuvor identifizierten Elemente anhand einer oder mehrerer Beschreibungsdimensionen und beschreibt Zusammenhänge zwischen den Elementen. Elemente lassen sich bspw. in Matrizen sich selbst gegenüberstellen (Corsten, Salewski, 2013), um deren Verbindungs-oder Interaktionsstärke untereinander aufzuzeigen.
