This thesis describes research that has developed the principles of a modelling
tool for the analytical evaluation of a manufacturing strategy.
The appropriate process of manufacturing strategy formulation is based on
mental synthesis with formal planning processes supporting this role. Inherent to
such processes is a stage where the effects of alternative strategies on the
performance of a manufacturing system must be evaluated so that a choice of
preferred strategy can be made. Invariably this evaluation is carried out by
practitioners applying mechanisms of judgement, bargaining and analysis. Ibis
thesis makes a significant and original contribution to the provision of analytical
support for practitioners in this role.
The research programme commences by defining the requirements of analytical
strategy evaluation from the perspectiv...

Purpose: The servitization of manufacturing is a diverse and complex field of research interest. The purpose of this paper is to provide an integrative and organising lens for viewing the various contributions to knowledge production from those research communities addressing servitization. To achieve this, we set out to address two principal questions, namely: (i) where are the knowledge stocks and flows amongst the research communities? and (ii) what generic research concerns are being addressed by these communities. Design/Methodology/Approach: Using an evidenced based approach, we have performed a systematic review of the research literature associated with the servitization of manufacturing. This investigation incorporates a descriptive and thematic analysis of 148 academic and scholarly papers from 103 different lead authors in 6...
Purpose: This paper reviews current literature and contributes a set of findings that capture the current state-of-the-art of the topic of green production.
Design/methodology/approach: A literature review to capture, classify and summarize the main body of knowledge on green production and, translate this into a form that is readily accessible to researchers and practitioners in the more mainstream operations management community.
Findings: The existing knowledge base is somewhat fragmented. This is a relatively unexplored topic within mainstream operations management research and one which could provide rich opportunities for further exploration.
Originality/value: This paper sets out to review current literature, from a more conventional production operations perspective, and contributes a set of findings that capture the current st...
In most manufacturing systems the contribution of human labour remains a vital element that affects overall performance and output. Workers’ individual performance is known to be a product of personal attitudes towards work. However, in current system design processes, worker performance variability is assumed to be largely insignificant and the potential impact of worker attitudes is ignored. This paper describes a field study that investigated the extent to which workers’ production task cycle times vary and the degree to which such variations are associated with attitude differences. Results show that worker performance varies significantly, much more than is assumed by contemporary manufacturing system designers and that this appears to be due to production task characteristics. The findings of this research and their implications ...
The increasing need for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) organizations to meet customers’ demands in quality and reduced lead times is key to its survival within the aviation industry. Furthermore, with the unpredictability in the global market and difficulties with forecasting characteristic of the MRO industry there is an increased need for the reevaluation of the operation models of organizations within this sector. However, severe economic turmoil and ever-increasing global competition introduce the opportunity for the adoption of a resilient, tried, and tested business operation model such as ‘Lean’. In order to understand this concept, its long-term viability, and its application within the aerospace MRO sector fully, this paper presents the state-of-the-art in terms of the adoption of Lean within the MRO industry by carry...
With the fast changing global business landscape, manufacturing companies are
facing increasing challenge to reduce cost of production, increase equipment
utilization and provide innovative products in order to compete with countries
with low labour cost and production cost. On of the methods is zero down time.
Unfortunately, the current research and industrial solution does not provide
user friendly development environment to create “Adaptive microprocessor size
with supercomputer performance” solution to reduce downtime. Most of the
solutions are PC based computer with off the shelf research software tools which
is inadequate for the space constraint manufacturing environment in developed
countries. On the other hand, to develop solution for various manufacturing
domain will take too much time, there is lacking tools available for ra...
Investment in capacity expansion remains one of the most critical decisions for a manufacturing organisation with global production facilities. Multiple factors need to be considered making the decision process very complex. The purpose of this paper is to establish the state-of-the-art in multi-factor models for capacity expansion of manufacturing plants within a corporation. The research programme consisting of an extensive literature review and a structured assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the current research is presented. The study found that there is a wealth of mathematical multi-factor models for evaluating capacity expansion decisions however no single contribution captures all the different facets of the problem.
The need for a holistic framework for studying organisational transformation towards servitization is implicit. This is particularly relevant as servitization demands consideration of both business model and organisational change. The aim of this paper is to provide an integrative framework that systematically captures and evaluates existing literature on servitization. This has achieved through three main objectives; comprehensively examine the literature in organisational change management that would assist with the selection of the most effective evaluation framework, classify previous studies against the proposed framework through a systematic literature review methodology, and analyse the selected papers and propose future research directions.
This special issue of International Journal of Production Economics therefore invites contributions in the broad field of servitization with a particular focus on service strategy implementation and its economic evaluation. The guest editors seek submissions with an original perspective and advanced thinking on the topics proposed above and related issues.
