Takes an in-depth look at the role of outsourcing in taking a product from concept to market and then operating the resulting supply chain. By presenting, interpreting, and extending the current knowledge, the author's goal is to shed light on the underlying economic and behavioural drivers, implementation challenges, and potential remedies.
Defines and describes the research field at the interface of Finance, Operations, and Risk Management (iFORM), provides examples where operations and finance overlap in meaningful ways, outlines promising research directions, and reduces the entry cost for anyone who would like to explore this new and exciting research field.
Summarises the literature on AI and business model innovation. The hypothesis of the book is that the deployment of AI across an industry creates new mechanisms for value creation and in turn results in new firms generating value in an industry as incumbent firms may no longer be as competitive as in the past - the 'value migration' phenomenon.
Focuses on the battery electric vehicle segment of the automobile industry. The book traces the development of the industry, identifies key decisions by various participants, and analyses these decisions from a platform strategy lens.
Examines three themes: Financing Issues in Supply Chains look into working capital management financing practices; FinTech Innovations for Supply Chains examines business model innovations for supply chain financing; amd Advances in Risk Management of Operational Systems provides state-of-the art thinking on risk issues in supply chain operations.
Presents the state-of-the-art in research thought leadership in supply chain finance and risk management, and contains great expository pieces on how advanced technologies are shaping supply chains and risk management within them. How supply chain finance and risk management can be best taught in classrooms is also covered.
Presents and integrates various cutting-edge theoretical frameworks and methodologies from the operations management and organisational research literatures to use diverse methodologies in order to help organisations excel in reliability, performance, and innovation.
Introduces management accounting to operations management researchers and illustrates how incorporating this accounting information perspective into the world of operations management can improve our understanding of topics of interest to operations management researchers and practitioners.
Provides a unique overview of inventory models, from single-item single-echelon models to multi-item multi-echelon models. Rather than starting with inventory models that are tractable from a mathematical point of view, the author starts from the inventory management problem and the modelling challenges to be faced.
Reviews the literature on this topic and presents a framework that synthesizes the factors associated with successful transformational performance improvement. Coverage includes determining and communicating a system-level goal; developing and using system-level measures of performance; and understanding and managing interdependencies.
Develops analytical methodologies to inform the planning decisions for evaluating and selecting siting plans for facilities that ensure both convenient provision of products and services by customers and users and efficient operations.
Focuses on the three main types of services that hospitals provide: surgical services, emergency services, and inpatient services. In doing so, the authors expose the interconnectedness of these services and the challenges that arise due to the cascading effects of mismatches in any one area on all other hospital operations.
Surveys operations management literature and offers ways to bridge remaining gaps between research and practice. The authors include formulas and solution methods for some of the fundamental quantity discount scenarios from both buyers' and sellers' perspectives.
Reviews the existing literature in operations management on worker productivity and outlines promising areas of research. In contrast to approaches that involve estimating productivity at the national or firm level, the author looks at the individual worker as the atomic unit of analysis in order to examine the drivers that impact worker output.
Integrates finance and operations on the topic of merchant operations. The book presents the basic tenants of merchant operations as being the management of commodity conversion assets as real options on commodity prices, while the scope is based on the foundational principles that underlie that valuation of real options.
Provides an in-depth understanding of the organisational learning curve and why significant differences in the rate of learning exist across organisations. Few studies have "stepped inside the learning curve" to provide greater understanding of the organisational learning process underlying the learning curve.
Explores the confluence of two events - large economies in the world being dominated by services and a change from a material or physical economy to an information economy - by examining the double dichotomy of products versus services and information versus material, which divides the economy into four supersectors.
Reviews the recent research in closed-loop supply chains with a particular focus on strategic and tactical issues. Representative models from each area are presented along with their key managerial insights, providing the reader with both a high level overview and an in-depth look at the common assumptions and modelling frameworks.
Focuses on supply chain co-ordination. The bullwhip effect is used as the key example of supply chain inefficiency. The authors focus both on the managerial relevance of the bullwhip effect and the methodological issues making it essential reading for both managers and researchers.
This book stems from a long observed gap in operations management on our understanding of human behaviour and the emergence of a set of methods that promise the potential of being able to address such behavioural issues.
Examines the impact of service industrialization on employment and wages in the US to understand the forces that drive them; using national income and labor data until 2017 to presents a macroeconomic context for an analysis of employment and wages; and identifies implications of the above for management and public policy.
Failures in OCR strategies to optimize the trade-offs between responsiveness and variety are rooted in a poor understanding of how OCR strategies should build on last-mile supply network (LMSN) distribution configurations. This book addresses this issue by developing a typology of LMSN distribution configurations in OCR.
Provides an integrated perspective on the entire body of academic literature related to ISO 9000, ISO 14000, and related standards. The aim is to offer an overview of the academic empirical literature on ISO 9000, ISO 14000 and related management systems standards to improve the quality, relevance and coherence of that literature.
Shows how RFID has transformed the supply chain over the last decade and examines the manufacturing, logistics and retail aspects of RFID. The authors describe a vision of an "Internet of Things", where each participating object has a digital shadow with related information stored in cyberspace.
Provides insights into the ways global sea ports are challenged by the need for managing complex information flows, given the developments in global supply chains. The book argues that special port IT capabilities are needed to address these challenges by sharing information and planning and executing container transport in a collaborative way.
Explores the operations management (OM) literature in national culture and organisational culture and points the way for increasing the breadth of the OM field by incorporating this perspective. In addition to being a guide for research, this monograph provides substantive examples for teaching the importance of culture in OM.
