仓储企业核心竞争能力的研究

仓储企业如何应对我国的物流市场全面向国际投资者、运营者开放的挑战？最根本的出路就是提高仓储企业的核心竞争能力。虽然目前在我国市场,还没有纯粹的社会化服务的外商独资仓储企业。可通过分析我们不难看出,跨国仓储企业尚未对我国的实际情况有一个完全、清晰的了解,现阶段只能从专业服务的角度进入我国市场,在条件成熟之后扩大业务范围,最后进行全面进入。这部分外资进入的速度,很可能比我国国有仓储企业改制转型的速度还有快。外资仓储企业,有先进的管理经验、雄厚的资金、成熟的运作模式、先进的技术和国际化的客户。与之相比,我们的国有仓储企业在资金、技术上还有欠缺,特别是高端技术和管理手段差距较大。文章围绕仓储企业的核心竞争能力这一中心,指出了仓储企业核心竞争能力研究的必要性,通过对仓储企业存在的问题的分析,提出了培育和发展仓储企业可持续发展的六种竞争能力（市场化能力、创新能力、人力资源管理能力、仓储资源整合能力、获利能力和满意最大化）,才是我国仓储企业获得竞争优势,能够长期发展的出路所在。

Applying the domain management model in treating patients with chronic diseases

BACKGROUND: In the health care system in the United States, the management of chronic health conditions and their functional consequences challenge and frustrate patients, caregivers/families, health care providers, and physicians. Contributing factors include a lack of physician and health care provider training and a health system that emphasizes diagnosis and management of acute illnesses. A broader patient care model is required for patients with chronic disease(s). USING THE DOMAIN MANAGEMENT MODEL (DMM) TO CLASSIFY PATIENTS' CLINICAL PROBLEMS: The DMM is a synthesis of approaches used in internal medicine, geriatric medicine, and physical medicine and rehabilitation. All clinical problems, their treatments, and their outcomes can be classified and followed over time in a multiaxial model with four domains-medical/surgical issues, mental status/emotions/coping, physical function, and living environment. APPLICATIONS OF THE DMM IN MEDICAL RECORD TEMPLATES: Use of the four domain headings in standard templates can lead to an improved awareness of all the relevant issues in the management of chronic illnesses. This awareness precedes a physician's implementation of better care processes. Also, good patient care decisions require good information. MANAGEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL PROBLEMS: The DMM can be used to educate care providers and organize care in terms of important and common functional problem (for example, trouble walking, which lacks a standard approach in health care). CONCLUSION: This common framework for the organization, documentation, and communication of patients' care over time will help teach systematic mangement of chronic health conditions and help with future research on complex patient management.     

A real options approach to project management

When scheduling an uncertain project, project management can wait for additional (future) information to serve as the basis for rescheduling the project. This flexibility enhances the project's value by improving its upside potential while limiting downside losses relative to the initial expectations. Using traditional techniques such as net present value (NPV) or decision tree analysis (DTA) can often lead to misleading results. Instead, a real options analysis should be preferred. The potentials of a real options approach to project management are discussed with an example and future research directions are highlighted.     

Applying total quality management techniques to improve software development.

Total Quality Management (TQM) is a new management philosophy and a set of guiding principles that represent the basis of a continuously improving organization. This paper sheds light on the application of TQM concepts for software development. A fieldwork study was conducted on a Lebanese software development firm and its customers to determine the major problems affecting the organization's operation and to assess the level of adoption of TQM concepts. Detailed questionnaires were prepared and handed out to the firm's managers, programmers, and customers. The results of the study indicate many deficiencies in applying TQM concepts, especially in the areas of planning, defining customer requirements, teamwork, relationship with suppliers, and adopting standards and performance measures. One of the major consequences of these deficiencies is considerably increased programming errors and delays in delivery. Recommendations on achieving quality are discussed.

Applying the network flow model to evaluate an FMC's throughput

An increasingly competitive environment and the changing customers' preference have forced manufacturers to find ways to increase productivity. The cellular manufacturing system has proved to be an alternative for improving manufacturing efficiency and increasing productivity. A major problem in implementing an FMC is how to evaluate its total throughput efficiently. In this paper, we apply a network flow model to select different machines in an FMC. This network flow model can be used in a processing environment with multiple available routings and obtain the maximum total throughput. In addition, two numerical examples are demonstrated to illustrate the use of this model. The results show that the network flow model established in this paper provides a simple and powerful tool when evaluating different machine configurations with limited information available. That is, only the operating routings and operating time are required when using the network flow model.     

Applying genetic algorithm to optimise personal worklist management in workflow systems

Applying scheduling techniques to manage activity instances (tasks) in executors’ personal work lists is crucial in workflow management systems (WFMSs). To date, most practical scheduling techniques focus on process (control-flow) perspective of WFMSs but do not adequately address issues relating to work lists containing executors’ to-do activity instances. Existing simple-dispatching-rule based techniques cannot fully capture the complexity in personal work list management under dynamic workflow environments. Given this motivation, this paper proposes an approach that applies genetic algorithm (GA) to manage activity instances in personal work lists. This approach is applied according to activity instances’ probabilities of satisfying deadlines and costs of violating deadlines. The approach can schedule activity instances among multiple executors’ personal work lists and recommend to each executor a list of activity instances that can be successfully executed, while minimising the overall deadline violation cost. Using real-world data collected from three manufacturing enterprises, the paper fits the probability distributions of activity instances’ key time features such as starting time and execution durations, and then generates simulation experiment data. This paper also studies the setting of GA’s parameters to fit the practical manufacturing scenarios. Finally, by comparing with other seven typical workflow scheduling algorithms, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of our algorithm using a large scale simulation experiment.

Using forecasts and managerial accounting information to enhance closed-loop supply chain management

This paper develops a generic forecasting framework for product returns that combines concepts used in different disciplines. If more-step ahead forecasts of product returns are required, estimating sales data is necessary. This is accomplished by adopting growth curve models based on the extended Kalman filter. In order to capture the process generating product returns more adequately than in the literature, we propose an adaptive Bayesian approach to forecast future returns. The combination of these two concepts enables us to conduct more-step ahead forecasts. We evaluate the robustness of this approach against Holts approach, a Kalman filter based approach, and the model by Toktay et al. (Manag Sci 46:1412–1426, 2000) for varying degrees of misspecification. In addition, we create a link between forecasting accuracy and the economic value added. This enables the user to choose the economically worthwhile forecasting method that trades-off additional operating costs and savings in working capital. Our theoretical and numerical results indicate that our approach operates on high accuracy even in situations when the underlying assumptions are obviously violated.     

切实加强企业产品标准的管理

企业产品标准是企业进行生产经营活动和检验产品质量的依据,也是企业向消费者的质量承诺。根据《标准化法》的规定,我国标准分为国家标准、行业标准、地方标准和企业标准,而国家标准、行业标准又分为强制性标准和推荐性标准两种。强制性标准是企业必须执行的标准,推荐性标准是国家鼓励企业自愿采用的,企业可以采纳,也可以不采纳。近年来,国家经过清理,将绝大多数国家标准和行业标准由强制性标准转为推荐性标准,使企业在适用标准时享有更大的选择权,这是符合市场经济发展规律的。但笔者在长期的质检工作实践中,也发现企业在选择标准和自行制…     

Applying a physics-of-failure model to predicting surface mount solder joint reliability

To address the wide variety of solder joint configurations, the authors have developed and applied a physics-of-failure model to predicting the service life of solder joints under thermal cycling conditions. The wide variety of solder joint geometries, materials and environments makes it impractical to develop and apply empirical models to predicting the service life of solder joint interconnects. On the other hand, a physics-of-failure model that describes the failure mechanisms in solder joints can be applied to a wide range of conditions. The physics-of-failure model framework is described and a model is demonstrated for predicting the failure of a leadless surface mount solder joint under slow thermal cycling conditions.
