“…This could partly be explained by implementation issues. In particular, labour courts have been quite restrictive in acknowledging the justification of fair dismissals even after the reforms, which continues to produce uncertainty about dismissal costs (Jimeno et al, 2018).…”

Labour market segmentation is at the forefront of national and European policy debates. While the European Commission and the OECD claim to promote what they see as more inclusive policies, academic observers remain sceptical. The dualization literature in particular points to stable equilibria that sustain divisions between labour market insiders and outsiders. In this article, we trace recent reform trajectories in a diverse group of nine European countries marked by a high share of temporary employment: France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. Our case studies show that recent reforms of employment regulation involve much more dynamism than one would expect based on the experiences of the two preceding decades, or from dualization or insider–outsider theories. The reform trajectories display rather contradictory approaches, sometimes in close succession.

“…Therefor this study tries to reduce the production cost using cooperation and coordination among multi-plants regarding sharing of inventories and workforce to increase the satisfaction of demands (the demands of each plant are independent of the other plants) that eventually would be (2010) beneficial for whole plants and facilities, and various costs of production will contribute through them. The continuous and unnecessary changes of workforce (hiring/firing) applied to previous models, cause some limitations and prohibitions by the governing rules of labor union and increase the cost at the national level (the rules for paying unemployment benefits; more info: Jimeno et al 2018). In this model, Co-APP with possibility of workforce substitution among plants has advantages like preventing the multitude of recruitment and layoff, enhancement of the job security and reducing the hiring cost and firing's penalties.…”

Cooperative aggregate production planning: a game theory approach

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Production costs in general, and workforce and inventory costs in particular, constitute a large fraction of the operating costs of many manufacturing plants. We introduce cooperative aggregate production planning as a way to decrease these costs. That is, when production planning of two or more facilities (plants) is integrated, they can interchange workforce and products inventory; thus, their product demands can be satisfied at lower cost. This paper quantifies the cost saving and synergy of different coalitions of production plants by a new linear model for cooperative aggregate planning problem. The developed approach is explicated with a numerical example in which inventory and workforce levels of different coalitions of facilities are evaluated. Afterward, a key question would be how the cost saving of a coalition should be divided among members. We tackle the problem using different methods of cooperative game theory. These methods are implemented in the numerical example to gain an insight into properties of the corresponding game results.
