    Production planning and control system developments in Germany (1996)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 16 (1996), S. 27-39 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Discusses briefly the impact of MRP on UK manufacturing industry in the context of the next generation of developments. Draws a contrast with production planning and control systems in Germany which derive shopfloor control through different architecture of business control systems. Presents the state of these developments in Germany as analysed by a leading academic institution (the FIR at Aachen University of Technology). Compares this with UK developments, as seen by the Liverpool short-term scheduling group, which recently has analysed production planning/ scheduling practice in a range of different companies across various industry types. Offers the view that future PPC systems will be based around simple "core logic" with tailored subsystems, possibly built by manufacturing companies themselves.

    Schemebuilder: computer aided knowledge based design of mechatronic systems (1999)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Assembly automation 19 (1999), S. 129-138 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-5154
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Production Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Traffic Engineering, Precision Mechanics
    Notes: Introduces the need for engineering knowledge management tools for storing past solutions and expert knowledge for the design of automatic precision machinery. The design of this type of machine, which is heavily utilised in modern manufacturing industry, is very complex, time-consuming and potentially expensive. Describes the design and functionality of a novel computer aided rapid prototyping tool named Schemebuilder. The design is traced from its philosophical origins in the "Theory of domains" and how this can be used by the designer with the aid of the computer. The application of this underlining methodology for the design of precision machinery employing feedback control systems is also described. Finally an example is shown for the design of a control system for precise position control of a glass bottle making machine.

    Logistics information management 8 (1995), S. 42-48 
    Details
    ISSN: 0957-6053
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Work undertaken in collaboration with BPICS, Cincom (UK) Ltd andICI Engineering supported by funding from the EPSRC (CDP). The projectreviewed planning and scheduling procedures in over 30 industrialcompanies over a two-year period to establish best practice inshop-floor scheduling and to identify the key factors for schedulingsuccess. Outlines the research approach briefly to provide a frameworkfor the analysis of scheduling performance by industrial sector and byscheduling tool. This includes a powerful method for the performancemeasurement of supply-chain management systems which allows thecomparison of effectiveness in different operating environments and whenusing a variety of scheduling approaches. Important elements of theproject were the review and comparison of scheduling performance inconventional MRPII environments (usually a manual activity based onexpediting or the use of shop floor control) with that of more recentfinite capacity-based tools and a classification of schedulingapproaches. Some clear lessons have been learned. Concludes bypresenting these along with an outline of the success factors whichunderpin effective scheduling performance in the range of best practicecompanies identified.

    The influence of brand recognition on retail store image (1997)
    Bingley : Emerald
    The @journal of product & brand management 6 (1997), S. 373-387 
    Details
    ISSN: 1061-0421
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Investigates the relationship between brand characteristics - awareness level and image - and their influence on consumers' perceptions of retail image. Proposes a model of relationships between the number of recognizable brands carried by a retail establishment, the presence/absence of an anchor brand, and perceptions of retail image. Presents the analysis and results of a study designed to test the model. In addition, develops and tests a measure of retail store image. Indicates that one tactic for ensuring a favorable retail store image is a merchandise mix composed of a relatively high number of brands possessing high brand awareness, and one or more brands with a strong brand image. Offers recommendations for both brand and retail managers.

    The training implications of the Government White Paper (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Industrial and commercial training 31 (1999), S. 4-8 
    Details
    ISSN: 0019-7858
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Outlines key areas of the Government White Paper Fairness at Work. Identifies the training implications in the proposed changes in collective law and in the improvements in the individual rights of employees. Concludes that the most important training needs are likely to arise in the extension of unfair dismissal protection and the right for employees to have trade union representation in disciplinary and grievance hearings. Also examines the training needs arising out of the arbitration option in unfair dismissal proceedings and those arising out of the establishment of a National Minimum Wage and other legislative developments, including the Working Time Regulations. Examines also the issue of collective bargaining about training. This is an issue that the Government is considering, as opposed to proposing.

    Employee participation and managerial style (the key variable) (1998)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Industrial and commercial training 30 (1998), S. 165-170 
    Details
    ISSN: 0019-7858
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Employee participation is in the news because of the stakeholder concept and European legal developments. Argues that for most employees what matters is the working relationship with their boss, rather than indirect forms of representation, such as works councils. If employers are genuine about participation, the prime area of attention needs to be the day-to-day behaviour of line managers. This necessitates reviewing the performance, selection and training of line managers. This is also necessary if indirect forms of participation are to work as they too depend on effective and co-operative line management. Participation also needs to be examined in the context of organisational and national culture and the pressures on an organisation at particular points in time. Too often the topic is addressed as though the objectives can be achieved simply through mechanistic/legal imposition.

    Management training for international students (1998)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Industrial and commercial training 30 (1998), S. 209-213 
    Details
    ISSN: 0019-7858
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Management training for international students is an increasingly large, but competitive and volatile, global market. Training providers need to ensure that they are market-oriented and avoid an ethnocentric approach. Programme delivery needs to take account of the national context in which students are, or will be, working. Potential action points are identified that may help improve the quality of management training in particular. Developing a positive reputation is part of the marketing process. In-house training of lecturing staff in the special needs of international students may be necessary.
