    Notes: Describes the development and testing of a structured methodology for the design of performance measurement systems. Frameworks, such as the balanced scorecard and the performance prism, have been proposed, but until recently little attention has been devoted to the question of how these frameworks can be populated, i.e. how managers can decide specifically which measures to adopt. Following a wide ranging review of the performance measurement literature, a framework identifying the desirable characteristics of a performance measurement system design process is developed. This framework provided guidelines which were subsequently used to inform the development of a process-based approach to performance measurement system design. The process was enhanced and refined during application in three action research projects, involving major UK automotive and aerospace companies. The revised process was then formally documented and tested through six further industrial applications. Finally the process was written up in the form of a workbook and made publicly available.

    Designing, implementing and updating performance measurement systems (2000)

    Notes: This paper addresses issues met when designing, implementing, using and continuously updating performance measurement systems in manufacturing companies. The paper develops, from theory, a framework for analysing the implementation of a performance measurement system and uses this framework to interpret three longitudinal case studies. The paper concludes that specific processes are required to continuously align the performance measurement system with strategy. When these processes are combined with a well defined model of strategic success, the measurement system can enhance the strategic management process by challenging the assumptions and the strategy itself.

    The success and failure of performance measurement initiatives: Perceptions of participating managers (2002)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 22 (2002), S. 1288-1310

    Notes: This paper investigates the success and failure of performance measurement system design interventions in ten companies. In each case, the senior management team was facilitated through a management process to redesign their performance measurement systems. Analysis of the initial pilot case studies suggested three important differences between companies that proceeded to implement the measures agreed during the process and those that did not. Post intervention semi-structured interviews with the directors and managers directly involved revealed two main perceived drivers of implementation and four perceived factors that block implementation. The results are of specific interest for performance measurement system implementation but have wider implications for our view of management commitment in change management.

    Operations strategy and performance: a resource-based perspective (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 23 (2003), S. 944-946 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper introduces the special issue on "Operations strategy and performance: a resource-based perspective". It assesses recent and current trends in operations strategy and performance management and points out that, although developments in resource-based theory, together with the concepts of competence and capability, have led to alternative perspectives for analysing strategic and operational problems, there is a general paucity of literature available for practitioners. The seven papers in this special issue are published in order to fill this gap in the literature. Each paper is briefly introduced and discussed.

    Competence and resource architectures (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 23 (2003), S. 977-994 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper aims to produce a justified, generic, pictorial architecture of the relationships between resources and competences within firms. It begins by providing definitions of the nature, scope and relationships between resources, capabilities and competences from the resource and competence literatures. In so doing, theory is refined and a linked resource and competence architecture is developed. The architecture distinguishes between high-level competences that customers recognize, for example fast product delivery, and competences that support high-level competences but are less visible customers, like competences in rapid knowledge acquisition and deployment. An empirical example is then used to illustrate how the architecture enables the construction of structured pictures of connected competences and co-ordinated resources within a manufacturing business. Finally, the architecture is critiqued and its value for managers in structuring competence performance improvement activities is discussed.

    A strategic review of "supply networks" (2004)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 24 (2004), S. 1012-1036 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This review aims to provide researchers and managers interested in supply networks with a strategic review of this rapidly expanding field. It does not attempt a comprehensive review of the enormous and fast growing literature but does present the breadth and depth of research and practice in the area. The central aspect of the paper is to suggest that the field can be viewed from four perspectives which all researchers and managers implicitly or explicitly use: upstream, as purchaser; downstream, as supplier; static network, as an auditor of position within its supply network, typically comprising several supply chains, providing a static and comparative view; and dynamic network, as strategist, seeking opportunities to improve the firm's position in an existing network or creating a new network, providing a strategic, dynamic and long-term view.

    Applying resource-based theory: Methods, outcomes and utility for managers (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper describes research on the resources that underlie a manufacturing company's service competence in its most established product group. Published methods for identifying and assessing resources are reviewed and, based on current theory, improvements are developed, tested and critiqued. A historical representation of the firm's activities in its service provision over more than ten years is used to enable grounded identification of the resources involved. Sets of theory-based questions are used to assess the value and sustainability of the resources identified. The plans and actions that appeared to relate to the intervention are then described over the following two years. Finally the methods are discussed from three perspectives - first, their appropriateness; second, the resource data they generated, and third, their apparent utility for managers.

    The risks, threats and opportunities of disintermediation: A distributor's view (2004)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of physical distribution and logistics management 34 (2004), S. 714-727

    Notes: During the 1990s the "information age" spawned a new breed of enterprises devising business models unheard of previously. One aspect of this changing business environment has been the trend in disintermediation observed in many industries. Where many recent papers see disintermediation as a phenomenon related to online transactions, this paper defines it more broadly as the removal or a weakening of an intermediary within a supply chain. This paper attempts to explain why disintermediation of distributors/import agents often occurs at the growth phase of a product's lifecycle, highlighting possible opportunities and outcomes for distributors threatened by disintermediation. The paper uses a downturn in a company's fortune to illustrate the case and to provide a potentially generic analytical tool for small distributors that will almost inevitably face a conflict of interests with their suppliers, which leads to disintermediation pressure.

    Embedded anisotropic microreflectors by femtosecond-laser nanomachining (2002)

    Notes: Directly written embedded structures created within fused silica by a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser are observed to strongly reflect blue light. Reflection emerges only in a direction parallel to the polarization axis of the writing laser. This anisotropic-effect is caused by a periodic modulation of refractive index of amplitude Δn∼10−2 with a characteristic period Λ∼150 nm over a spot size ∼1.5 μm. We show that the origin of the anisotropic reflection is the primary cause of other anisotropic phenomena reported in recent experiments. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
