The evolution of the intellectual structure of operations management—1980–2006 / Alan Pilkington in Journal of operations management, Vol. 27 N° 3 (Juin 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 27 N° 3 (Juin 2009) . - pp. 185–202 Titre : The evolution of the intellectual structure of operations management—1980–2006 : A citation/co-citation analysis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alan Pilkington, Auteur ; Jack Meredith, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 185–202 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Operations  management  Bibliometric  techniques  Co-citation  Citation  analysis  Social  network  analysis Résumé : Citation analysis combined with a network analysis of co-citation data from three major operations management (OM) journals is used to reveal the evolution of the intellectual structure of the OM field between 1980 and 2006. This spans the entire time since the beginning of research journals specific to the field. Employing a bibliometric citation/co-citation analysis to investigate the foundations of the discipline enables a robust, quantitative approach to uncovering the evolution of research in OM. The study finds that the intellectual structure of the field made statistically significant changes between the 1980s, the 1990s, and the 2000s and evolved from a pre-occupation with narrow, tactical topics toward more strategic, macrotopics, including new research methods and techniques. A factor analysis identifies the 12 top knowledge groups in the field and how they change over the decades. Illustrations of the structure of the co-citations representing the field are generated from a spring-embedded algorithm that is an improvement over the standard multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) approach to illustrating the knowledge groups.

Performance analysis of a focused hospital unit / Nancy Lea Hyer in Journal of operations management, Vol. 27 N° 3 (Juin 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 27 N° 3 (Juin 2009) . - pp. 203–219 Titre : Performance analysis of a focused hospital unit : The case of an integrated trauma center Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nancy Lea Hyer, Auteur ; Urban Wemmerlöv, Auteur ; John A. Morris Jr., Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 203–219 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Healthcare  Operations  Process  design  Focus  Case  study  Performance  analysis Résumé : The concept of focus [Skinner, W., 1974. The focused factory. Harvard Business Review 52 (3), 113–121], notably operationalized in manufacturing entities like cells and focused factories, has also been adopted by the health care industry. Examples include patient-focused care systems and product/service lines. Despite its longevity, there is a paucity of studies analyzing the focus concept and its link to performance, especially in health care. This research is aimed at enhancing our understanding of how a focus-based approach to organization redesign in health care affects processes and practices, and what operational, clinical, and financial outcomes result from such a change. The research setting is a single case site within a large medical center for which costs for trauma care used to exceed income. Using a structured framework, we document the design and operation of this physically and organizationally integrated Level I trauma care center and compare it to its preceding operation. Its pre- and post-conversion performance is analyzed using symmetric event windows covering three-year periods before and after the focused hospital unit (FHU) was established. Under a sizable increase in workload, we find no change in mortality, moderate improvement in length of stay, and a large improvement in net operating margins. Surprisingly, the latter stem not from reductions in cost but in sharply increased hospital reimbursements. Previous studies of hospital restructuring involving focused patient populations have not conclusively supported a positive link between focus and outcomes. However, this investigation of a specific FHU suggests, conceptually as well as quantitatively, that focus can be an attractive element in health care system design.

Decision-making in the supply chain / David E. Cantor in Journal of operations management, Vol. 27 N° 3 (Juin 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 27 N° 3 (Juin 2009) . - pp. 220–232 Titre : Decision-making in the supply chain : Examining problem solving approaches and information availability Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : David E. Cantor, Auteur ; John R. Macdonald, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 220–232 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Problem  solving  approaches  Behavioral  experiment  Construal  theory  Supply  chain  management  Beer  distribution  game Résumé : In this paper we investigate the role of two types of problem solving approaches on supply chain performance. Additionally, we investigate how the level of information availability moderates problem solving approach on supply chain performance. We draw on construal level theory from the experimental psychology literature to explain how the problem solving approaches (abstract problem solving approach vs. concrete problem solving approach) contribute to supply chain performance. From this foundation, we run a series of behavioral experiments to test our hypotheses that problem solving approaches and information availability impact supply chain performance as presented in the beer distribution game. A key finding of this study is that individuals who take an abstract problem solving approach are able to perform better than individuals who take a concrete problem solving approach in the context of limited information availability. However, in the context of complete information availability, the impact of both types of problem solving approaches on performance becomes negligible.

The effect of operational slack, diversification, and vertical relatedness on the stock market reaction to supply chain disruptions / Kevin B. Hendricks in Journal of operations management, Vol. 27 N° 3 (Juin 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 27 N° 3 (Juin 2009) . - pp. 233–246 Titre : The effect of operational slack, diversification, and vertical relatedness on the stock market reaction to supply chain disruptions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kevin B. Hendricks, Auteur ; Vinod R. Singhal, Auteur ; Rongrong Zhang, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 233–246 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Supply-chain  Disruptions  Stock  price  performance Résumé : This paper empirically examines whether operational slack, business diversification, geographic diversification, and vertical relatedness influence the stock market reaction to supply chain disruptions. The results are based on a sample of 307 supply chain disruptions announced by publicly traded firms during 1987–1998. Our analysis shows that firms with more slack in their supply chain experience less negative stock market reaction. The extent of business diversification has no significant effect on the stock market reaction. Firms that are more geographically diversified experience a more negative stock market reaction. We find that firms with a high degree of vertical relatedness experience a less negative stock market reaction. These results have important implications on how firms design and operate their supply chains to mitigate the negative effect of supply chain disruptions.

Linking improved knowledge management to operational and organizational performance / Brian S. Fugate in Journal of operations management, Vol. 27 N° 3 (Juin 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 27 N° 3 (Juin 2009) . - pp. 247–264 Titre : Linking improved knowledge management to operational and organizational performance Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Brian S. Fugate, Auteur ; Theodore P. Stank, Auteur ; John T. Mentzer, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 247–264 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Knowledge  management  Shared  interpretation  Knowledge  responsiveness Résumé : This research empirically examines the importance of knowledge management processes to operational and overall organizational performance (OPERF). Specifically, results indicate that a shared interpretation of knowledge among operational personnel mediates how knowledge is disseminated and used to design and implement a unified operational response to that knowledge. Further, results collected in a logistics operations (LO) context support a strong positive relationship between this knowledge management process and operational and organizational performance. Importantly, psychometric measures for organizational performance collected from managerial respondents were strongly correlated with secondary financial data for participating firms obtained from Compustat, thus supporting a link about operational performance and hard organizational performance data.
