    Strategic networks: morphology, epistemology and praxis (1995)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 15 (1995), S. 53-61 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: In marketing and operations literature, there is an emergingconsensus that the inter-firm network is of strategic significance.Challenges the assumption that supply networks are always "outthere" waiting to be investigated. Rather than treat networks asobjective artifacts, explores the extent to which they are invented andchosen by actor(s)/observer(s). Uses examples to illustrate thisargument.

    A framework for analysing supply chain improvement (1996)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 16 (1996), S. 19-34 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Presents a classification scheme which allows the interpretation of supply chain improvement initiatives. While there is an abundance of anecdotal evidence, there is little systematic theoretical development in the field. This is partly because of the many different ways in which co-operation between trading partners may be developed. The suggested framework is useful in that it highlights some important yet often ignored issues relating to the logic and outcomes of collaborative activities. Illustrates the use of the framework by the secondary analysis of some well-known UK examples in logistics and supply-chain management and with supplementary data gathered by questionnaire. Concludes by discussing the limitations of the scheme and its role in further research.

    Performance trade-offs in manufacturing plants (1997)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 17 (1997), S. 1020-1033 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: A sample of 782 manufacturing plants drawn from the UK Best Factor Awards database was used to investigate the nature of trade-offs between different measures of manufacturing performance. Each plant was ranked within its industry on each performance measure, a high ranking indicating good performance on that measure and a low ranking indicating poor performance. By comparing the ranking of each plant within its industry on each performance measure it was possible to determine the extent to which good performance on one measure was correlated with good performance on other measures. Rankings on added value per employee £, quality consistency, delivery reliability, speed of delivery and the rate of new product introduction were positively correlated, suggesting that good performance on each of these factors is associated with good performance on the rest. Only the extent to which a plant exhibited product variety showed conventional trade-off characteristics, being negatively correlated with rankings on added value per employee £ and the rate of new product introduction. This implies that, provided that individual operating units can be organized so that each is focused on a relatively narrow product range, trade-offs can be avoided.

    Process variability and its effect on plant performance (2000)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 20 (2000), S. 792-808 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This report presents the preliminary findings of a research study to determine the factors which enable a manufacturing plant to simultaneously achieve high labour productivity, fast, reliable delivery and high quality consistency. The conclusions are based on analysis of a database containing details of 953 manufacturing plants in the UK. Based on the performance measures mentioned above, a composite performance measure was calculated for each plant in the database. The plants were then divided into groups of high performers, medium performers and low performers. Using statistical analysis, those differences between the high and low-performing plants that were significant were identified. The main factors differentiating high-performing plants from the rest were those associated with low process variability, high schedule stability and more reliable deliveries by suppliers.

    Customer support and new product development - An exploratory study (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 21 (2001), S. 275-301 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Customer support is an essential element in the successful marketing of many products - from domestic appliances to high-tech computer networks. Many aspects of support are strongly influenced by a product's design and so customer support requirements should be evaluated during new product development. However, researchers have largely ignored the relationship between new product development and customer support. The current study addressed this gap by using case studies and a workshop, both conducted with leading companies, to identify how customer support is typically evaluated at the design stage and to determine the importance of this aspect of new product development. The results have implications for managers responsible for product innovation - they show the need to allocate adequate resources to integrating customer support requirements into new product development.

    in Japan: an empirical study (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 23 (2003), S. 1426-1446 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper reports the study of kaizen as practised in a selection of Japanese companies. After discussing the general understanding of kaizen and proposing a clear definition, the paper describes the methodology of the study, and presents findings from the research, taking Nippon Steel Corporation (NSC) as a base model and comparing this with the data from other companies. The development of kaizen activity in NSC is presented together with a description of the current nature of kaizen, which is compared with other firms in the steel and automotive industries to assess uniformity. The paper concludes that kaizen evolves uniquely within each organisation, following changes to the organisation's business environment. Detailed implementations vary considerably between organisations, but all rely on kaizen to achieve targets as an integral element in the operations management system. This yields insights into kaizen's sustainability, and points to its vulnerability to external economic conditions.

    Reflections: A three-tier model of organizational competencies (1996)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Journal of managerial psychology 11 (1996), S. 44-51 
    Details
    ISSN: 0268-3946
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Psychology , Economics
    Notes: Provides a framework for the assessment of a person's competencies. Describes three types of competence: job specific (JSC), general management (GMC) and corporate specific (CSC). JSCs and GMCs relate to performance in a particular job, while CSCs determine an individual's success in an organization. Proposes that a profile of the competencies necessary for an employee to do well in a role and in a company can be identified. In turn, these can be used as a basis for selection, training and management development, which can ensure an optimum match between the competencies of individuals and the capabilities needed for effective performance in an organizational position. Competencies can also be used as an indicator of future career performance, although at senior management levels this is predominantly dependent on a person's CSCs.

    Notes: Reviews the scale and scope of existing survey-based studies ofmanufacturing plants and discusses the contribution which the UK BestFactory Awards Database may be able to make. Outlines the process ofselecting the winners, proposes a working model which relatesperformance and strategy, and presents some initial illustrative resultsfrom an analysis of the 1993 entrants. Briefly discusses the feedbackinformation which entering plants receive for benchmarking performance.Presents initial research findings which relate to the concept ofmanufacturing plant focus and indicates an asymmetric relationship forfocus concerned with make-for-stock versus make-to-order/assembly toorder foci. The evidence supports the view that dilution of amake-for-stock policy has a negative impact on ex-stock service levelwhile dilution of a make-to-order policy does not appear todilute due-date performance.
