The impact of market requirements focus and manufacturing characteristics focus on plant performance / Cecil Bozarth in Journal of operations management, Vol. 15 N°3 (Août 1997)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of operations management > Vol. 15 N°3 (Août 1997) . - pp. 161–180 Titre : The impact of market requirements focus and manufacturing characteristics focus on plant performance Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Cecil Bozarth, Auteur ; Steve Edwards, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 161–180 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Focused factory Marketing/operations interface Operation strategy Empirical research Résumé : This study examines the relationship between market requirements focus, manufacturing characteristics focus, and manufacturing performance. Results from a sample of plants serving the automotive industry support the general argument that market requirements focus and manufacturing characteristics focus have an impact on manufacturing performance, and provide partial support for a mediation model of focus proposed by Bozarth (1993). The results also show that focused work cells or plants-within-a-plant might not be entirely successful at buffering plants from the negative impact of diverse market requirements.

The impact of quality on learning / George Li in Journal of operations management, Vol. 15 N°3 (Août 1997)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of operations management > Vol. 15 N°3 (Août 1997) . - pp. 181–191 Titre : The impact of quality on learning Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : George Li, Auteur ; S. Rajagopalan, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 181–191 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Quality Productivity Learning Statistical analysis Résumé : The strategic importance of learning curves has been recognized for a long time both in industry and in academia, but little is known about the huge difference in rates at which different firms learn. Recent theoretical studies and anecdotal evidence from Japanese manufacturing firms suggest that quality-related activities may be one major factor explaining the difference in learning rates. When the impact of quality on learning is considered, three important questions arise: (1) How well does cumulative output of defective or good units explain learning curve effects? (2) Do defective units explain learning curve effects better than good units? (3) How should cumulative experience be represented in the learning curve model when the quality level may have an impact on learning effects? This paper presents, to our knowledge, the first empirical study addressing these questions. Using time series data from two manufacturing firms, we find that cumulative output of defective or good units is statistically significant in explaining learning curve benefits. However, defective and good units do not explain learning curve effects equally as is implicitly assumed in traditional learning curve models. In particular, defective units are statistically more significant than good units in explaining learning curve effects.

Business process reengineering / Varun Grover in Journal of operations management, Vol. 15 N°3 (Août 1997)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of operations management > Vol. 15 N°3 (Août 1997) . - pp. 193–213 Titre : Business process reengineering : A tutorial on the concept, evolution, method, technology and application Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Varun Grover, Auteur ; Manoj K. Malhotra, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 193–213 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Reengineering Process management Technology Résumé : It is ironical that while much is being discussed about business process reengineering (BPR), most companies are still searching for methods to better manage radical change. Academics are studying the phenomenon but precious little has been published. Many basic questions remain unanswered. What does reengineering involve? Are there methods for effectively accomplishing BPR? Why is it so popular? Is there a logic behind reengineering? Is BPR fundamentally different from old Taylorian approaches to industrial engineering based on task decomposition and specialization? Is BPR the same as TQM, restructuring, etc.? What is the relationship between process redesign and organizational structures? How do we best plan, organize and control BPR efforts? Under what conditions will BPR be most effective? Answers to these questions are neither easy nor direct. However, this tutorial seeks to address them in a systematic, comprehensive and unbiased manner. In doing so, the tutorial will attempt to synthesize a variety of material from both practitioner and academic literature sources into a coherent précis that defines and discusses BPR in a language palatable to both the manager and the academic. A variety of frameworks will be presented to clarify the nature of the phenomenon as prescribed (in theory) and as companies are learning about it (in practice). The objective of this tutorial is to inform rather than provide an academic discourse.
