Integrating local suppliers in a global supply networkJournal of Manufacturing Technology Management - Tập 18 Số 5 - Trang 490-512 - 2007
AndrewThomas, RichardBarton
PurposeThe development of a local area supply chain network (LASCaN) is only as
good as the skills and technological capabilities of the companies within that
network. Recent studies have pointed to the lack of capability amongst local
suppliers and hence many OEMs have now moved towards global supplier networks to
meet demand. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the drivers which push

Factorial analysis of lifting task to determine the effect of different parameters and interactionsJournal of Manufacturing Technology Management - Tập 23 Số 7 - Trang 947-953 - 2012
SarbjeetSingh, SunandKumar
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of main parameters
and their interactions on the workers' Lifting Index in a steel rolling
mill.Design/methodology/approachNIOSH (National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health) lifting equation has been used to evaluate the risk of
lifting tasks with respect to low back injury under varying load (10, 15,
20 kg), frequency (2, 3, 4 ... hiện toàn bộ
Bayesian networks in manufacturingJournal of Manufacturing Technology Management - Tập 22 Số 6 - Trang 734-747 - 2011
Ken R. McNaught, Andy Lung Jan Chan
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to raise awareness among manufacturing
researchers and practitioners of the potential of Bayesian networks (BNs) to
enhance decision making in those parts of the manufacturing domain where
uncertainty is a key characteristic. In doing so, the paper describes the
development of an intelligent decision support system (DSS) to help operators in
Motorola to diagnose... hiện toàn bộ

Key factors in global supply headquarters‐subsidiary control systemsJournal of Manufacturing Technology Management - Tập 21 Số 7 - Trang 794-817 - 2010
JulioSánchez Loppacher, RaffaellaCagliano, GianlucaSpina
PurposeAccording to the reviewed literature, in order to build effective and
efficient global supply (GS) strategies, multinational companies (MNCs) need to
define and implement adequate headquarters' control and follow‐up systems for GS
management performance in order to guarantee world supply consistence and
alignment. The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on how key variables
affect G... hiện toàn bộ
Measuring agility as a performance outcomeJournal of Manufacturing Technology Management - Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 384-404 - 2011
Charlene A.Yauch
PurposeThe purpose of this research was to construct a quantitative, objective
metric for agility performance that assesses agility as a performance outcome,
capturing both organizational success and environmental turbulence, and
applicable to manufacturing organizations of all
types.Design/methodology/approachThe agility performance metric was developed by
creating a theoretical model and then op... hiện toàn bộ
Commercial aerospace supply chainsJournal of Manufacturing Technology Management - Tập 22 Số 1 - Trang 66-89 - 2011
C.Rose‐Anderssen, J.S.Baldwin, K.Ridgway
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the evolution of commercial
aerospace supply chains.Design/methodology/approachThe approach is presented as
evolutionary steps by introduction of key supply chain practices. These steps
are brought together by applying cladistics, a classification approach from the
biological sciences, to classify the evolutionary relationships between supply
chain fo... hiện toàn bộ
Information enabling production ramp‐upJournal of Manufacturing Technology Management - - 2009
SabinaFjällström, KristinaSäfsten, UlrikaHarlin, JohanStahre
PurposeThis paper seeks to identify information enabling and supporting
production ramp‐up processes, by exploring critical events and the role of
information in such events.Design/methodology/approachThe research approach was
based on empirical and theoretical investigations. A selection of 30 events,
considered the most critical for production ramp‐up realization and/or
performance at one Swedis... hiện toàn bộ
