Approaches to the factory of the future / Kenneth K. Boyer in Journal of operations management, Vol. 14 N°4 (Novembre 1996) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 14 N°4 (Novembre 1996) . - pp. 297–313 Titre : Approaches to the factory of the future : An empirical taxonomy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kenneth K. Boyer, Auteur ; Peter T. Ward, Auteur ; G.Keong Leong, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 297–313 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Technology  management  Operations  strategy  Empirical  research Résumé : An empirical analysis of the patterns in which companies invest in advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) such as computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, and flexible manufacturing systems is presented. Data for this analysis are gathered from 202 manufacturing plants chosen from industries generally considered to have relatively high investments in technology. Three general types of AMTs are identified from the literature: design, manufacturing, and administrative. Multiple item scales are developed to measure each type of AMT. These scales are shown to be reliable instruments, and are used to develop an empirical taxonomy which validates existing conceptual typologies of AMTs. A cluster analysis reveals four distinct groups of companies with respect to their approaches toward investing in AMTs. TRADITIONALISTS do not invest heavily in any of the three types of AMTs. GENERALISTS have moderate investments in each technology type. HIGH INVESTORS have the highest investment in each of the three technology types. The most interesting group may well be the DESIGNERS, which have low investments for manufacturing and administrative AMTs, but have the second highest investment in design-related AMTs. An analysis of the four technology groups reveals that while plants do differ in terms of plant size and integration, they do not differ significantly in terms of industry membership or performance. This suggests that successful firms can be found in each of the groups and that good strategies may be found that are consistent with each of these approaches. Therefore, the taxonomy is fairly robust, and further research must analyze companies within these groupings in order to identify the contingencies or other factors that may act in conjunction with technology to separate high and low performing firms. The data from our study clearly suggest that investments in technology alone are not a causal factor for performance improvement.

A meta-analysis model of manufacturing capabilities / Gregory P. White in Journal of operations management, Vol. 14 N°4 (Novembre 1996) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 14 N°4 (Novembre 1996) . - pp. 315–331 Titre : A meta-analysis model of manufacturing capabilities Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gregory P. White, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 315–331 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Operations  strategy  Empirical  research  Quality Résumé : Recent research in operations strategy has focused on showing the extent to which manufacturing's competence in developing and executing one or more competitive capabilities affects the organization's overall business performance. Several of those efforts have produced models, such as the ‘sand cone’, that suggest an ideal sequence in which manufacturing capabilities should be developed. However, efforts to empirically validate such sequential models, except for one recent study, have been inconclusive. This paper takes a different approach to examining the relationships among competitive capabilities. The existing cross-sectional studies of manufacturing capabilities are integrated to synthesize a proposed model of: (1) the relationships among manufacturing capabilities, and (2) the relationships between those capabilities and business performance. The proposed model is synthesized using data from previous studies, other models and theoretical arguments. Meta-analysis is used to identify aspects of the model that appear better supported by empirical research and those that require further study. The implications of this proposed model with regard to research, practice and future research in operations strategy are discussed.

An exploration of supplier selection practices across the supply chain / Thomas Y. Choi in Journal of operations management, Vol. 14 N°4 (Novembre 1996) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 14 N°4 (Novembre 1996) . - pp. 333–343 Titre : An exploration of supplier selection practices across the supply chain Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Thomas Y. Choi, Auteur ; Janet L. Hartley, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 333–343 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Out-sourcing  Supplier  chain  Supplier-selection  practices Résumé : The US auto industry has undergone tremendous changes during the past decade. Companies have increased their level of out-sourcing and are relying more heavily on their supply chain as a source of their competitive advantage. Thus, determining which suppliers to include in the supplier chain has become a key strategic consideration. However, previous studies of supplier selection have not considered a company's position in the supply chain. In this paper, we compare supplier-selection practices based on a survey of companies at different levels in the auto industry. Our findings rebut the common thinking that indirect suppliers who are more involved in commodity purchasing emphasize initial price and de-emphasize relational considerations. We learned that selecting suppliers based on the potential for a cooperative, long-term relationship is just as important to direct and indirect suppliers as it is to the auto assemblers. We also learned that price is one of the least important selection items, regardless of position on the supply chain. Further, contrary to the existing understanding that quality and delivery are separate constructs, they formed a single construct in our study. To summarize the empirical results, no differences among the auto assemblers, direct suppliers, and indirect suppliers were found for the importance placed on consistency (quality and delivery), reliability, relationship, flexibility, price, and service. Statistically significant differences were found between the auto assemblers and indirect suppliers on the importance placed on technological capability and financial issues.

A common approach in other fields is the citations methodology which is used in this study to determine the relative importance of various operations management (OM) journals. The citations analysis noted the frequency that all other journals are cited in Decision Sciences, Journal of Operations Management, and Management Science during the period 1992 to 1994. Rankings are provided based on total citations, citations per article, and citations per words published. The study shows that the journals with the most importance to OM research are Management Science, Decisions Sciences and Operations Research. Other journals important to OM research are the Harvard Business Review, Journal of Operations Management, and IIE Transactions.

A clarification on conceptual and methodological issues related to the job characteristics model / Manus Rungtusanatham in Journal of operations management, Vol. 14 N°4 (Novembre 1996)

Anderson, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 357–367 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Cellular  manufacturing  Job  Characteristics  Model  Job  Diagnostic  Survey Résumé : We provide a comment on ‘Comparing the effects of cellular and functional manufacturing on employees' perceptions and attitudes’ by Shafer, Tepper, Meredith, and Marsh (Journal of Operations Management, 1995, 12, 63–74). We identify and explicate three conceptual concerns related to their description of the Job Characteristics Model, as well as two methodological concerns with using the Job Diagnostic Survey to measure the five job characteristics and the Motivating Potential Score as an aggregate index of a job's ‘motivating potential’. We intend this explication to serve as a clarification and guidance for further conceptual and empirical research in operations management involving the Job Characteristics Model, the Job Diagnostic Survey, and the Motivating Potential Score. Our remarks are intended to be constructive and are offered in the spirit of scholarly advancement.
