Future Challenges for Manufacturing
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management. - 1741-038X. ; 25:1, s. 2-6
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- This Editorial Viewpoint explores what changes are taking place in manufacturing technology management with the aim of identifying future challenges that should be represented in the scope of JMTM. The viewpoints uses an analysis of relevant articles in JMTM, published since 2007, which have focused on future challenges for manufacturing. It also draws on two recent reports. While the analysis confirms the inclusion of some subjects already in the journal scope there are elsewhere gaps that merit it being expanded. Evidence for the findings is only from a limited number of articles identified in this journal supplemented by other secondary sources. There are implications for practice concerning the future of manufacturing from the analysis and the sources used, especially the reports. Although it has limitations the article is based on original bibliographic research.

Global Operations Management
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Handbook of Teaching and Learning in Operations Management. - 9781802201932 ; , s. 25-48
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter considers the factors that influence why companies and industries internationalise operations and use globalisation to pursue competitive operations strategies. It describes how, historically, industrialised economies have sought resources and exploited overseas markets and later offshored operations to optimise costs. It also explores why the concern has shifted towards resilience and sustainability in recognition of how natural events, as well as political and economic risks, can offset the benefits of globalising operations. The chapter examines how different forms of inter-firm relationship and ownership shape how global operations function, as well as considering how emerging country firms compete in entry markets. In this regard, digital technologies – and the transfer of technology and knowledge between developed and developing countries – is an important concern for transforming businesses. In the final section, we identify some ‘takeaway’ messages together with the implications for teaching and learning in operations management courses.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article describes a type of work organization that is an alternative to individual working based on division of labour and specialization. Working in groups, it is argued, overcomes the frustration and boredom brought on by the monotony associated with repetitive, differentiated work. A particular for of group working, which is team-based, emphasises the virtues of working together, such as the ability to make use of the various skills within the team.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article describes an approach to job design that provides a way of increasing job satisfaction and motivation. A greater amount of work is carried out as a way of increasing worker involvement, but the level of work remains unchanged. This can lead to greater job satisfaction and, as a result, higher performance and better quality.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article defines job enrichment as being where jobs are extended vertically rather than horizontally, meaning that more satisfying jobs are created by adding work of a different level instead of merely increasing the amount of work carried out. Tasks of greater complexity can be undertaken or further responsibilitiescan be assigned such as production planning, material ordering, quality control, or maintenance.
