Badly planned phase-outs lead to high remaining stock levels after end of production, causing immense sunk costs. Previously performed 26 interviews revealed that this is a major challenge in current production (Grussenmeyer and Blecker, 2014; Grussenmeyer, Gencay and Blecker, 2014). Therefore, the objective of this paper is to develop a material requirements planning focusing on remaining stock induced costs during phase-out to plan optimal phase-out quantity and phase-out date. The research is conceptually driven and proposes an example of the methodology.enphase-outproduct eliminationproduction planning and controlremaining stock costsEconomicsCommerce, Communications, TransportConference Paper10.15480/882.1263Kersten, WolfgangWolfgangKerstenBlecker, ThorstenThorstenBleckerRingle, Christian M.Christian M.RingleConference Paper
