    Notes: Examines design for manufacturability (DFM) which has become of aparamount interest to academicians and practitioners as well. Theemergence of advanced manufacturing and information technologies andrecent managerial philosophies such as JIT, TQM have made it easier formanufacturing enterprises to carry out many of their activitiesconcurrently. This new approach to business would no doubt result inincreased efficiency, as measured by cost savings, and increasedeffectiveness as measured by improvements in quality, flexibility, andresponsiveness. This new approach to manufacturing emphasizes thatsimultaneous improvement in these competitive priorities rather thantrade-offs will be the norm in many manufacturing establishments. Designfor manufacturability, as a time-based strategy, has been used by theJapanese for many years, and there is no reason to think that it willnot work for Western manufacturers. However, if not planned forcarefully, it can hurt rather than help manufacturing companies. In thecases that have been reported in literature so far, successes outnumberfailures. Sheds light on the theoretical foundation of DFM as atime-based technology. Examines the different approaches to product andprocesses design and compares and contrasts the traditional andconcurrent approaches to manufacturing. Examines a number of DFMdefinitions in an attempt to offer a more representative definition.Analyses the main pillars of DFM and explains the necessarycharacteristics for successful implementation of DFM. Elaborates thebenefits of DFM as reported in literature. Explains some of thedrawbacks of DFM and introduces the reader to Part 2 of this article.

    The impact of machine flexibility on the performance of flexible manufacturing systems (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 21 (2001), S. 707-742

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The performance of flexible manufacturing systems, (FMS) has been one of the major topics that has attracted the attention of production and operations management (POM) researchers for the last two decades. In this paper we study the relationship between the degree of machine flexibility and the level of system performance. A machine loading and routing model is developed and used to investigate the effect of changing machine flexibility on the performance measures of an FMS. The measures used in this paper include makespan, routing flexibility, capacity flexibility, and inventory effects. The results indicate that changes in the machine flexibility affect some measures more than others. The results also show that, for a decrease of 24 per cent in the degree of machine flexibility, makespan increases by 17 per cent, routing flexibility decreases by as much as 13 per cent, and capacity flexibility decreases by as much as 38 per cent, and the inventory decreases by as much as 26 per cent. Furthermore, as the workload on the FMS increases, the differences in the performance between two FMSs (with different degrees of machine flexibility) increase.

    The Impact of the Intensity Level of Computer-based Technologies on Quality (1994)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 14 (1994), S. 4-25 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Examines the impact of the intensity level of computer-basedtechnologies (CBTs) on quality. The intensity level of CBTs isempirically-based. The main thrust of the intensity level of CBTs isfourfold. First, the technology must, intuitively, exist. Second, itmust be integrated with other available technologies. Third, it must beutilized to a certain extent. Finally, it must have been used longenough to produce synergistic results. Determines whether there aredifferences in quality among firms with different intensity levels ofCBTs. The analysis was based on data collected from 165 manufacturingfirms in three industry groups in the USA. These are industrialmachinery equipment, electronic and electric machinery equipment, andtransport equipment. Descriptive statistics show the following: (1) thelevel of technology integration is low; (2) the level of programmableautomation is also low; (3) most of the CBTs are used as stand-alonetechnologies; and (4) most of the CBTs are used in the early stages ofdesigning the product. The results also suggested that differences inquality exist among groups with different intensity levels of CBTs.These findings have many implications for both practitioners andacademicians. For practitioners, the intensity level of CBTs, asoperationalized here, can be used by manufacturing firms as a vehicle tobenchmark their performance against that of their competitors. Foracademicians, introduces a new measure for operationalizing theintensity level of CBTs. Also discusses other implications.

    Notes: Examines the impact of the intensity level of design formanufacturability (DFM) on the time-to-market. Hypothesizes thatcompanies which use the DFM technology strategically are more likelythan their counterparts to exhibit a shorter time-to-market, introducenew products and processes more often, and are more responsive to theircustomers needs. An index for measuring the intensity level of DFM isdeveloped. The analysis was based on data collected from 165manufacturing firms in three industry groups in US - industrialmachinery equipment, electronic and electric machinery equipment, andtransportation equipment. Suggests that differences in time-to-marketamong firms with different intensity level of DFM do exist. Shows theexistence of moderate association between DFM and time-to-market, andbetween DFM and introducing new products and new processes.

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: While the importance of SAP software in business applications and in process redesigning may have received attention recently, its effects on fostering process thinking have not been fully recognised. For example, SAP technology has facilitated a process-oriented approach to system development because an SAP database can be shared by several functions in different functional units participating in the same business process. The SAP system has been built around business processes that cross functional units. In addition SAP technologies provide opportunities for improving collaboration among personnel from different functional units in their efforts to accomplish a common business process. The analysis reveals that while both computing and communication technology generate an undercurrent of process thinking, it is important to realise that SAP is a facilitator for process improvement and re-engineering. This paper presents an overview of the role of SAP software as an enabler in business process re-engineering. The paper also discusses the impact of the SAP system on organisations' information and business integration strategies.

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Under production economies of scale, the trade-off between production and transportation costs will create a tendency towards a decentralized decision-making process. First, reviews previous approaches suggested in the literature for solving the production- distribution problem. Then offers a non-linear programming model of the transportation problem under production economies of scale to illustrate the computational complexity of the problem. Discusses and proves the convergence of the "tangent line approximation procedure". Finally, introduces and solves a numerical example.

    Notes: Recent developments in information technology such as the Internet, enterprise resources planning systems and knowledge management systems necessitate the use of these technologies in order for the next generation manufacturers to co-evolve and survive on the new business landscape. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of these technologies on managing next generation manufacturing, (NGM), and the benefits that can be reaped by effectively utilising these technologies. We present a model on how NGM companies develop, implement and manage these technologies to support their manufacturing operations. Our model is an extension of Youssef's agile manufacturing model. The implications of this new model are discussed in detail. Our analysis indicates that perceived benefits, as well as potential business opportunities for next generation manufacturing companies, are likely to become key drivers for the use of electronic business.

    Notes: Examines the vendor evaluation and selection models developed by many researchers during the past ten years. Some of these models are very simple and intuitive but some of them are more sophisticated and mathematically oriented. These models show supplier selection decision making processes based on a set of supplier performance criteria. Examines these models to find out if there is a need for a more representative model and develops a simple model for supplier evaluation and selection in an advanced manufacturing technologies' environment. The model offers decision makers a variety of scenarios on which they can select the best criterion or set of criteria for vendor evaluation and selection. Additionally, presents a numerical example to illustrate the model and to prove its practical utility.
