  • Competitiveness of Nations in the Global Economy : Is Europe Internationally Competitive?
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: The International Scientific Conference - Economics and Management 2009. - : Kaunas University of Technology. ; , s. 934-939
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The Lisbon Agenda from 2000 aims to make the European Union the most competitive economy in the world in 2010. This paper discusses the concept of international competitiveness of nations. While journalists and politicians believe that it is important for a country to be competitive, economist have often a different opinion. The World Economic Forum (WEF) presents two indices: the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) and the Business Competitiveness Index (BCI). While Europe and the EU on average seem to be not very competitive, several of the European countries are internationally highly ranked. For the WEF a consequence of competitiveness is high standard of living. The paper shows that several of the European countries belong to the ones with the highest living standard in the world. In the sample, 40 European and 4 non-european countries are included. Finally, it could be shown that the correlation coefficients between the rankings of GCI, BCI and living standards are high and positive.

  • The Enlargement of the EU since 2000 - Economic Aspects and Challanges
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: The 11th Annual SNEE European Integration Conference. - : Swedish Network for European Studies in Economics and Business (SNEE).
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • To become a member of the European Union, certain conditions have to be fulfilled. First of all, a country has to apply for membership. Furthermore, the country must geographically be situated in Europe, though there is some space of discussion (Cyprus, Turkey, and some territories and countries outside Europe). Finally the country has to meet the Copenhagen criteria (stability of institutions, functioning market economy, ability to take on the obligations of membership). Since 2004, new members of the EU even have to join the Economic and Monetary Union, when they fulfil the Maastricht criteria (low inflation and long-run interest rates, low public deficits and debts, stable exchange rates and independent national central bank). The purpose of this paper is to investigate some economic aspects and challenges of the enlargement of the EU since 2000. Even possible future enlargements will be discussed. Among the economic aspects the size, internationalisation and globalisation will be discussed mostly in macroeconomic terms. Furthermore, the question of Europe's international competitiveness and the Lisbon agenda from 2000 will be treated. The time perspective regarding the economic development in the past is approximately the years from 2000 to 2007, i.e. the actual development in 2008 and 2009 will not be dealt with. Finally, the question will be asked, whether past and future enlargements lead to a stronger or weaker European Union

  • Design of a Framework for Inventory Control - Evaluation of Forecasting and Inventory Control Systems
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing 2009 (FAIM 2009). - Middlesbrough, UK : Curran Associates, Inc.. - 9780956230331 - 9781615676279 ; , s. 573-580
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Managing inventories so that overall costs are kept low, while service levels are maintained is the central issue of inventory control, which only regulates two things: the size and the timing of orders. This is typically executed through a planning method, such as the reorder point system or, less frequently, the periodic order quantity system. These take into account a forecast, supposed to gauge the average future demand, and a predetermined safety stock, buffering against forecast errors and demand uncertainty. Pure demand also influences the system, as transactions affect the inventory level. It is crucial to understand how a complete system of demand, forecasts, safety stock calculations and planning methods work together to measure service level and overall cost of the system. This paper outlines a framework for the unambiguous representation of the relations between methods that interpret environmental parameters to plan orders. A number of simulations based on the framework are run to show, how the integration of the inventory control functions may affect the overall performance of the system. The usefullness of the framework lies in its ability to make a system duplicable (i.e. to transfer an inventory control system to a simulation model, or vice versa). Not only is this property important for creating simulation models that exactly depict the system being analysed, it also enables the study of a complete system for order planning, as opposed to optimising individual methods. Studying an inclusive system allow the same metrics to be used to evaluate changes to any method in the system. Another benefit of this approach is that the system's metrics directly reflect changes in the environment. Simulations based on this framework are precise and substantially easier to evaluate than models not adhering to any standard.

  • Agent Based Decision Support in Manufacturing Supply Chain
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Agent and Multi-Agent Systems: Technologies and Applications. - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin/Heidelberg. - 3642016642 - 9783642016646 - 9783642016653 ; , s. 677-686
  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Supply Chain Management (SCM) is becoming increasingly complex and an intensified competition in the end-markets has started to create a situation where co-operation requirements between companies in a Supply Chain (SC) are increasing. The old mechanistic operations management solutions are becoming obsolete and advanced decision support is increasingly needed to realize efficient and effective management of complex SCs. The objective of this research is to contribute to the understanding of how Agent Based Modeling (ABM) can advance decision making and to discuss why ABM should be regarded as method to realize Information Fusion (IF). In this research work an agent based model of SCM has been implemented in a simulation platform to provide an approach for evaluation of decision and management alternatives. Research shows that this kind of decision support system is based on IF, since it collects and fuses information from different sources into a situation image that provides effective support for human decision making

  • New Product Development in a Manufacturing Company - A Challenge for Supply Chain Management
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing. - : Teesside University. - 9780956230331 ; , s. 1169-1177
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The last decades a new type of business environments has evolved characterized by rapid and volatile demand changes, short product life cycles, and high levels of customized products. The competitiveness of a business in these environments is mostly determined by its responsiveness. This is characterized by the ability to quickly scale up or down the production volume, the presence of an innovative and fast product development, and the quick incorporation of customer requirements into the product development. This paper employs a descriptive single case study approach to illustrate how product development is structured and executed in an international manufacturing company, seeking to realize an innovative, predictable, and efficient product development. The objective is to increase the understanding of how product development and product life-cycles are connected to Supply Chain Management (SCM). Case study findings reveal that the case company after implementing a strategic and structured Product Creation Process (PCP) has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of product development. Findings also reveal that the case company has not yet developed any linkages between product development and SCM. Still, the case company has become aware of this issue due to problems associated with the lack of integration between product development and SCM.

  • Transitlager som en strategi i ett globalt distributionssystem
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: PLANs forsknings- och tillämpningskonferens 2009. - Stockholm : PLAN Logistikföreningen. - 9197644439 - 9789197644433 ; , s. 93-103
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Distributionen har kommit att bli en nyckelfaktor i dagens logistiksystem i och med att företag önskar uppnå skalfördelar i sin produktion genom fokuserade fabriker samtidigt som dagens kunder kräver alltmer kundanpassade produkter och leveranser till kortare ledtider. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om transitlagerstrategin, som ett komplement till den centraliserade och den decentraliserade distributionsstrategin, kan erbjuda företag konkurrensfördelar. Studien visar att transitlagerstrategin kan ge stora konkurrensfördelar genom att den erbjuder relativt korta leveranstider utan att produkterna behöver lagerhållas lokalt, vilket ger lägre lagerhållningskostnader och en lägre kapitalbindning. För att lyckas med strategin krävs en god planering, kundsamarbete, marknadskännedom och ett informationssystem som klarar av att stödja strategin.
