“…In the airline industry, code-sharing allows different carriers to share flight capacity (Wassmer et al, 2010;Chun et al, 2012). The two dominant newspapers in the Detroit market, Detroit Free Press and Detroit News, have an operating agreement to print in the same facility (Busterna and Picard, 1993), although they put out separate newspapers every weekday. In 2012, Mazda used its own capacity to build a Toyota sub-compact vehicle based on a Mazda 2 platform at a plant in Salamanca, Mexico (Automotive Logistics, 2012).…”

This paper studies how capacity collaboration can benefit two competing firms. We consider a two-stage model where capacity decisions are made in the first stage when there are significant uncertainties about market conditions, and then production decisions are made in the second stage after most of these uncertainties are resolved. We vary the degree of collaboration between the two firms in their capacity and production decisions, examining multiple models and comparing the outcomes. We find that a firm can benefit from collaboration even with its competitors. Interestingly, the firms do not have to make production decisions jointly to realize the benefits of collaboration. Additionally, while collaborative capacity investment proves beneficial, collaborating on production with existing capacity can often yield greater benefits. We find that the advantages of collaboration are most pronounced when competition intensifies, demand fluctuates significantly, and investment costs are high.
