Due to various benefits, Product-Service Systems are becoming an increasingly important concept in industry and research. However, the integration of products and services in one system increases complexity. Far-reaching decisions must be made under uncertain conditions within the planning phase. Additionally, there is increasing pressure on development and planning departments because of intense competition and short development cycles. Therefore, this contribution picks up a procedural and modeling support for the planning of Product-Service Systems and focuses their interaction. Moreover, the concept of descriptors as connection elements is established. Finally, an academic case study proofs the feasibility of the concept and an interview study assesses the industrial applicability.

This paper’s main objective is to enlighten the readers on the benefits of a good application the Just-In-Time (JIT) approach in a local South African soft drink manufacturing plant with the aim of improving the company’s performance. The study followed a mixed approach, combining both the qualitative and quantitative design approach. In order to collect data, interviews with the employees that constituted the sample were conducted before they later responded to a questionnaire to collect qualitative data. Results demonstrates that the company does not use JIT as a manufacturing strategy. This explained the difficulty experienced with many aspects of the production such as: demand management and forecasting, supply chain relationship and inventory control. A recommendation made in this study was to actively apply JIT in the manufacturing process as this practice would help the company improve its performance as far as the inventory control, the relationship with suppliers and the demand management and forecasting are concerned.

This paper discusses the Quay Crane Scheduling Problem (QCSP) at port of Tripoli-Lebanon, determines the unloading/loading sequences of bays for quay cranes assigned to a single container vessel, provides a mixed integer programming model for the quay crane scheduling problem and proposes a dynamic programming algorithm to solve the QCSP. The objective of this paper is to minimize the completion time of unloading/loading containers and therefore to reduce the docking time of the vessel in the terminal. Finally the results of this paper are compared to the port results.

Through Kansei Engineering (KE) methodology in services, the perceived service quality shows a direct impact on Kansei response. In order to strengthen the KE methodology, Kano model is embedded considering the attractive [A] and one-dimensional [O] performances. However, to what extent the Kano performance brings significant impact on Kansei is questionable and has not been explored yet. It is beneficial to measure the effort spent to improve a certain service attribute, considering the Kano performance and its impact on Kansei. This study on logistics services confirms that the Kano's attractive category [A] shows the highest impact on Kansei (with loading of 0.502), followed by one-dimensional [O] and must-be [M] ones (with loadings of 0.514 and 0.507), respectively. The service provider should prioritize Kano's [A] service attributes first for improvement.

One of the critical tasks of the defense logistics is the demand forecasting of spare parts, Because low-toned accuracy can lead to substantial budget wastes, Each military used the information management system to analyze the past spare parts consumption data information and predicted the demand of each part in a time series. However, a low-toned accuracy of the demand forecasting should be improved. In our study, we gathered a large amount of spare part consumption data first and derived several features including unstructured textual data to utilize them in the discrimination of fastidious patterns in the spare part consumption data. Our approach shows improved performance in demand forecasting with higher quantitative accuracy. The result shows better prediction accuracy than the existing time series.

Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) welding process can be applied for Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) to produce metal parts, thanks to its ability to deposit regular welding beads and its low projections rate. The different modes of welding developed around this technology make it possible to control the quantity of heat brought during the welding and are considered interesting for additive manufacturing. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of different welding parameters on the shape of the deposited 4043 aluminum alloy welding beads. The temperature of the part is also a determining parameter to master the quality of the deposited welding beads. An experimental campaign has been conducted to correlate the temperature of the part and the quality of the welding beads in relation to the welding parameters. The results of the campaign are applied to determine an effective strategy for building a cylinder.

The planning of production networks and their migration is a complex planning task that faces highly complex interdependencies within a dynamic global setting. Today’s migration planning approaches are either large projects or isolated local investments. As such they are not suited to cope with the interdependencies and the continuity at the same time. The proposed approach introduces a conceptual methodology that incorporates description and evaluation modelling approaches into an overall systematic process for rolling migration planning, thus allowing for integrated consideration of interdependencies in continuous planning of production network migration.

Companies providing customized products increasingly apply product configuration systems (PCS) in supporting sales and design activities, thus achieving substantial benefits. While there is extensive literature on the benefits of utilizing PCS, the cost of developing and maintaining PCS has not been explored to the same extent. This makes it difficult to put the benefits into perspective. Having a more accurate method of quantifying the cost of both developing and maintaining PCS, gives a value not only to researchers but also to practitioners when making business cases and improving resource planning in PCS projects. This article shows how historical data can be used to estimate the workload for developing and maintaining new PCS by taking into consideration both cognitive complexity and integrated IT systems. The analyses in the article are conducted in collaboration with a case company that aims to improve its capabilities when estimating cost based on man-hours for new PCS projects.

Sensor data offers a massive potential for the logistics sector. To achieve an optimal, effective and productive supply chain, operators and manufacturers are challenged to use this information and extract value from it. They have to comply with the main task of efficiently managing logistics processes as well as fulfilling requirements and guidelines. To do so, it is necessary to monitor all processes and understand exceptions and anomalies. Sensor and Internet of Things (IoT) data is the key for these tasks. Currently, the data is available but not (sufficiently) used. The heterogeneity of sensor data is a major obstacle for the usage. Therefore, we present an architecture, which addresses these challenges by integrating heterogenic data in well-formed data sets.

Setting business goal is a basic and important operation when running a company. Traditionally, two different perspectives are involved in such setting. On optimistic point of view, a loose business goal is usually employed by managers, who expect employees be satisfied by such tension of operations and would have good performance then. However, the employees may not respect such loose goals instead. On pessimistic point of view, a tight business goal is given by managers, who expect employees should be encouraged by such tension of operations and would have good performance then. However, the employees may be frustrated by such tight goals, and lose excitation in working. So, it is difficult to set business goal properly, and let all staffs happy. This paper proposes a novel method to set business goal in terms of the capacity of staff themselves. A numerical example is illustrated for the proposed method.
