Distrubution Center Location Analysis for Nordic Countries by Using Network Optimization Tools
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Many supply chain and logistics related location decisions are driven by demand. This paper analyses population densities in Sweden, Finland, Norway and partly Denmark and analyses how a minimum impedance approach would set up the distribution center (DC) locations. For each scenario, travel time maps are generated. Firstly, each country is analyzed separately and 1...5 DC cases are analyzed. Then a merged Nordic area is introduced and a similar approach is used to set up 1…6 DCs. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to study how the large population of Umeå or Vaasa should be increased in order to make the top five in the Nordic level. The results show distribution centers could be formed in the case of population driven demand products. This also gives insight into how the results can vary when changing perspective from national analysis to Nordic level.

Vägledning för offentliga och privata aktörer vid planering av gränsöverskridande transporter och infrastruktur i Norden
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- För att utveckla ett internationellt transportstråk, som Blå vägen TET-E12, krävs prioriteringar, kunskap, finansiering och gränsöverskridande internationell samverkan. På nationell nivå hanteras investeringskalkyler och beslut om åtgärder över nationsgränser mer ad hoc än för projekt som är centralt placerade i nationens nätverk. Det gäller samtliga länder i Norden. Aktörer längs stråk som binder samman gränsregioner har därför en mer komplex situation att hantera än andra regionala aktörer. Behovet att bygga en egen regionalt förankrad kompetens inom transportpolitik, transportekonomi, logistik, planering, fastighetsutveckling och data är här betydande. Vägledningen sammanfattar bl.a. erfarenheter från intervjuer med regionala aktörer som arbetat med olika gränsöverskridande projekt i Norden samt företrädare för nationella myndigheter. BA3NET har här arbetat nära INTERREG Botnia-Atlantica projektet ”E12 Atlantica Transport”.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- PurposeThe role of industrial services has increased in importance as product manufacturing oriented companies. Service offerings, service business models and methods of service delivery are developed by using new technologies. This paper discusses solution providers perspective by illustrating central approaches tapping into industrial services, such as environment-strategy-fit, scope of industrial service offering, industrial service business capabilities, and servitization process. Design/methodology/approachThe paper reviews literature related to industrial service phenomenon: framework for Industrial Service Fit; defining industrial service business; defining industrial service business capabilities; and a critical perspective toward industrial service business research.FindingsAccording to literature three maturity levels of servitization in manufacturing companies were identified: 1) equipment providers, 2) solution providers and 3) performance providers. The papers introduced for the spcial issues show examples that industrial services are bundled into larger set of physical products and this may enable new strategic possibilities for manufacturing firms. Originality/valueThe existing theory related industrial services can be strengthened by technology digitalization and enable operational and outsourcing services, in addition to performance services.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Based on transaction cost economics and social exchange theory, the purpose of this study is to investigate the significant relationship developing factors in supply chain that may help to reduce the transaction costs and to examine the impact on relational commitment. The integrated framework is tested by applying structural equation modeling for 170 Finnish SMEs. The results present the impact of economic and social factors on transaction cost and relational commitment. The findings indicate the important interaction effects between economic and social factors in relation to minimize transaction cost along with important implications for managers to develop long-term business relationships.
