Adopting Change Initiatives During Economic Downturns, Anthony J. Jackson Prof
Adopting Change Initiatives During Economic Downturns, Anthony J. Jackson Prof
Anthony J Jackson Prof
Change initiatives is a popular approach to eliminate waste and increase profits with a more efficient approach to productivity. Developed by Motorola it now has spread world wide with the more popular Toyota Production System (TPS) to Trumpf with its Synchro Production System, Healthcare, and Small Business Enterprises (SME’s). Many companies have claimed benefits from change initiative implementation with some failures. This paper reviews the critical success factors and change projects and what the companies did to be successful..
The New Panama Canal In A Global Context, Herman L. Boschken
The New Panama Canal In A Global Context, Herman L. Boschken
Herman L. Boschken
Without the "container revolution" (1970-present) and its redesign of seaport and maritime-trade infrastructures, globalization as we know it would not exist. With the recent enlargements of the Panama and Suez Canals, many new implications for U.S. economic trade are unfolding. This presentation at the Commonwealth Club of California, outlines recent changes in world trade and infrastructure development, and poses five factors that will likely determine winners and losers in the unfolding developments of this highly competitive world trade-route system.

SAJJAD KHAKSARI
"OV & DP and BRT" some assumptions and a Case Study for studying John Nash "Game Theory" method in logistics and transportation world and that is only a briefly attempt to get familiar with the idea. A thought which asks "Is it possible to model and analyze one of the authenticity of the transport or logistics service request with respect to the Game Theory optimization idea?
Performance Evaluation Of Tehran-Qom Highway Emergency Medical Service System Using Hypercube Queuing Model, Mohammadsadegh Mobin, Zhaojun Li, Maghsoud Amiri
Performance Evaluation Of Tehran-Qom Highway Emergency Medical Service System Using Hypercube Queuing Model, Mohammadsadegh Mobin, Zhaojun Li, Maghsoud Amiri
Mohammadsadegh Mobin
This paper studies the ambulance deployment of the Tehran-Qom highway emergency medical service (EMS) system. The response time of EMS to an emergency call can have impact on the users in terms of the life and death, and this performance metric is evaluated using the proposed hypercube queuing model. The model is based on spatially distributed queuing theory and Markovian analysis approximations, and it is one of the most effective approaches for analyzing emergency response systems. In this research, performance measures of the EMS including workloads and mean response times are evaluated using the hypercube model. Modification to the existing …

It is widely accepted that advances in information technology (IT) will generate new opportunities when suppliers, business partners and customers work together to co-create and co-produce value. However, results from prior studies show that the mere possession of IT is unlikely to generate business value. Rather, IT creates value when information – frequently produced by IT infrastructure – is used to support complementary organizational and human resources. Still, the hypothesis that greater investment in IT will generate business value requires caution. The focus of this special issue is to extend our understanding of how firms in a supply chain create …
Changing The Way Posts Operate, Jacob Johnsen
Changing The Way Posts Operate, Jacob Johnsen
Jacob Johnsen, MSc
The first part of the book describes how the market is changing and identifies some of the key factors influencing these changes; the second section then explores what kind of leadership is needed in this context, where collaboration is essential and no business stands by itself. Needless to say, posts do not just need to think differently but also to change the way that they operate, which is explored in the third section; the whole culture of the posts needs to change and that is not achieved easily or quickly, as can be seen in the fourth section. Section five …
If Experience And Training In Distribution Centers Is So Bad, Why Don't, Anthony J. Jackson Prof
If Experience And Training In Distribution Centers Is So Bad, Why Don't, Anthony J. Jackson Prof
Anthony J Jackson Prof
Warehouses and distribution centers focus a lot of attention on management training they look for the brightest, talented, and most experienced person available. Yet when it comes to hiring the staff of people who are actually going to do the work they obtain someone with minimal education and work experience. Most companies hire hourly workers who may have been to several companies in past and assimilate them into their organization immediately and getting familiar with operation as they go along or in some cases not at all.

1. The Establishment Of Industrial Branding Through Dyadic Logistics Partnership Success (Lps): The Case Of Malaysian Automotive And Logistics Industry, Nor Aida Binti Abdul Rahman, Tc Melewar, Am Sharif
Nor Aida Binti Abdul Rahman
Logistics partnerships across dyadic and triadic relationship networks have been the basis of extensive research in the extant literature. It is well understood that competitive advantage within logistics and distribution and within supply chains are driven by value-adding aspects of not only the core competencies of each tier in the network, but also via tangential supporting factors. It is also well understood that there is a strong relationship between logistics and distribution and marketing functions, particularly in product-based organisations. In addition to deepening our understanding of how successful partnerships throughout the source–make–deliver continuum can be optimised this research also seeks …

Cp All And The Case Of Value Web Creation, Bryane Michael

How should convenience store operators like Thailand’s CP-ALL construct its value chains? What does economic theory teach us about the an under-modelled area of management theory (namely value chains)? In this paper, we use a seemingly unrelated economic model analysing Vietnam to tell us something about the conglomerates running convenience stores licenses like CP-ALL. We find that convenience stores may not want to raise capital from Thai banks and the Bangkok stock market when labour productivity exceeds capital’s. We also find that inefficiencies inherent in Thai markets may significantly reduce the optimal size of a convenience store operator like CP …

Modeling The Operational Capabilities For Customized And Commoditized Services, Tim Coltman, Timothy Devinney
Tim Coltman
According to the extant service operations management literature, substantial gains can be achieved for providers that are adept at aligning internal operational capabilities with customer needs. However,the most influential models in the field attempt to explain this alignment without regard to the core resource allocation choices relating operational capabilities to different service offerings. To further our understanding of service operations alignment, we apply a unique combination of experimental scenarios and discrete choice modeling to measure the role of managers in orchestrating operational capabilities.Using the third-party logistics tender review and bid preparation process as an empirical setting, we reveal the resource …
Sensitivity Analysis And Optimization For Selected Supply Chain Management Issues In The Company – Using System Dynamics And Vensim, Elżbieta Kasperska, Elwira Mateja-Losa, Rafał Marjasz
Sensitivity Analysis And Optimization For Selected Supply Chain Management Issues In The Company – Using System Dynamics And Vensim, Elżbieta Kasperska, Elwira Mateja-Losa, Rafał Marjasz
Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI
The aim of our paper is to present the new results of research work on optimization and simulation for some logistic problems in the company. The System Dynamics (SD) method and the Vensim simulation language are applied in order to solve specific managerial problems described by Forrester in the model of supply chain. The historical model of Customer-Producer-Employment System by Forrester (Forrester, 1961) has not been examined with the sensitivity analysis, from the “automatic” testing perspective. Optimization experiments have not been conducted, either. It is surprising, since the model is old and widely known. The opportunities offered by the Vensim …
The Modeling Process Of The Materials Management System In A Manufacturing Company Based On The System Dynamics Method, Małgorzata Baran
The Modeling Process Of The Materials Management System In A Manufacturing Company Based On The System Dynamics Method, Małgorzata Baran
Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI
The article presents the steps of modeling of the material management system in a manufacturing company. First, the modeling procedures indicating by Forrester, Łukaszewicz, Souček, Tarajkowski and Sterman were described and the essence of materials management in a manufacturing company was presented. Next, modeling of the materials management system was shown - step by step. Initially, the variables of the mental model connected with materials were defined, then variables in casual loop diagrams were linked. Diagrams were transformed into a simulation model that has been verified. The validation of the simulation model was conducted by using the following methods: assessing …

Победители И Проигравшие: Производство В Странах С Быстроразвивающимися Рынками, Bryane Michael
Брайн Майкл
Какое влияние на быстроразвивающиеся рынки окажут новые технологии производства, такие как трехмерная (3D) печать? При подготовке данного исследования мы пришли к выводу, что в странах, подобных Индии, вероятно, суммарное такое влияние будет положительным. Китай на очередном подъеме производства почти наверняка окажет- ся в проигрыше. Страны с высокими доходами и страны-члены ОЭСР (в особенности Германия, США и Япония), скорее всего, продолжат производить дорогостоящие товары. Такие страны, где рабочая сила обладает высокой квалификацией, а экономика ориенти- рована на сферу услуг, смогут быстро среагировать на развитие аддитивного производ- ства. Данный вид производства, или «печатание» продуктов, разрушит прежний подход к конкуренции затрат и экономическому …
Bringing Manufacturing Home: Implications For Emerging Markets Of The Reindustrialisation Of The Core Oecd, Bryane Michael
Bringing Manufacturing Home: Implications For Emerging Markets Of The Reindustrialisation Of The Core Oecd, Bryane Michael
Bryane Michael (bryane.michael@stcatz.ox.ac.uk)
Will new technologies and policies bring manufacturing back to the US, Western Europe and Japan (or the core OECD)? Despite what the media pundits have told us, such manufacturing never really left (though many of the jobs did). The core OECD and its manufacturing companies already lead the world in industrial manufacturing. Much of the growth in emerging markets like China represents market expansion rather than stealing work from the core OECD. Moreover, both developed and emerging market manufacturers are not locked in a race to sell more, higher-valued manufactured goods. Even advanced market manufacturers sought to expand their low-valued …

Global Business Networks And Cooperation Within Supply Chain As A Strategy For High-Tech Companies’ Growth, Milena Milena Ratajczak-Mrozek
Global Business Networks And Cooperation Within Supply Chain As A Strategy For High-Tech Companies’ Growth, Milena Milena Ratajczak-Mrozek
Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI
The specificity of the operation profile of high-tech companies, including the necessity of operating at the international scale may account for the fact that these companies may find in network relationships, business networks and cooperation an essential determinant for growth and competitiveness. Foreign entities should be especially interesting business partners for hightech companies, as they are often seen as representing more advanced knowledge, resources and experience. The aim of the article is to point out to global business networks (i.e. including both local and foreign entities), and especially to cooperation within supply chain, as an important basis for a growth …

Lean Manufacturing Initiatives, Anthony J. Jackson Prof
Anthony J Jackson Prof
The purpose of this research study is to analyze the factors that prevent small and medium size enterprises from implementing lean manufacturing processes and show, that by not implementing lean they are missing out on savings, efficient workforce, and new markets in the globalization arena. Globalization offers opportunities that have not been realized by SME’s yet still pose challenges and barriers that can be overcome by adoption and implementation of lean manufacturing.

The Sa Guide To Tax-Efficient Cars: A Study On How To Drive More For Less, David Cattell
David Cattell
This book delves deeply into the issues surrounding company cars and car allowances. It is a specialist publication that looks to give perspective and insight by contemplating the recent history of the legislation governing the taxes in this area, how they've evolved and where we can imagine them to be headed. It looks at a quantitative assessment of the current laws, and by doing it highlights the opportunities and pitfalls that arise, whether they've been created by those who write the laws by way of their intent or (more likely) by their neglect.
Strategic Planning Of Seaport Development In A Global Economy: Observations Of An Executive Port Director, Herman L. Boschken
Strategic Planning Of Seaport Development In A Global Economy: Observations Of An Executive Port Director, Herman L. Boschken
Herman L. Boschken
Seaport management is central both to the use of coastal resources and to the needs of a global economy. As a major point of supply-chain activity along the coast and as a source of pollution, ports need to be administered strategically to provide the greatest benefit according to economic and environmental demands. This article is an annotated conversation that provides a practitioner's insight into the management of change along the coastal zone. To address the problem, we probe organization theory for new insight and attempt to apply concepts to practice.
