In this paper, a method for hybrid short- to long-term planning of available resources for operations is presented, which is based on a known or deterministically forecasted but highly variable demand. The method considers quantitative measures such as the performance and the availability of resources, ergonomically relevant KPI and ultimately process costs in order to serve as a pragmatic planning tool for operations managers in SMEs. Specifically, the method enables exploiting the ergonomic advantages of available flexible automation technology (e.g. AGVs or picking robots), while assuring that these do not represent a capacity bottleneck. After presenting the method along with the necessary assumptions, mainly concerning the availability of data for the calculations, we report a case study that quantifies the impact of throughput variability on the selection of different process alternatives, where different teams of resources are used.

This study focused on using War-Room Meetings (WRM) as a vehicle to developing team cohesion in multicultural project teams in Oil and Gas civil, and marine infrastructure projects. Although the concept of collaboration and multicultural diversity is extensively viewed as organisational social structures, most theories of developing cohesion are sceptical about the social process within which it might occur. We explored the theory of combing daily WRM and problem-solving while strengthening the social-structures in diverse, multicultural-teams. We started by examining mainstream literature to develop conceptual theories. This study also used interviews and an Action Learning group to collect data and evaluate ideas into action. Our findings suggested, team building, problem-solving, multicultural-teams, language barriers, and networking could improve by using WRM. These concepts influenced ambidexterity which balances between exploitation and exploration; therefore, manipulating ideas and using flexibility to test a variety of shared beliefs.

Food safety and halal context become major aspects for consumers. In the supply chain, players in each function will face problem that make food contaminated. In the halal supply chain, products which is food can easily lose its halal status because is contaminations in the process of supply chain. Halal practice is should be applied in the whole processes of chain from farm-to-fork so that creates Halal Toyyiban. In the practice of halal supply chain there can be risks of contamination with halal food. Many study have identified risk in halal supply chain, but most of study is only accomplished in certain activity. This study aims to develop a risk analysis and priority model in the upstream level of halal supply chain meat industry. This study used a semi-quantitative method with Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach that used DEMATEL-Based ANP (DANP) to find out the correlation between 6 dimensions and the important of the 40 risks in the dimensions.

Global production networks have grown to complex systems over the last years. Due to an increase of velocity and uncertainties in their surrounding, the active management of production networks and the assignment of responsibilities in the network are highly important to stay efficient.Mostly to be a subjective topic of the management, a systematical and objective approach is required to meet nowadays challenges. A literature review on existing approaches reveals the gap in research. In order to support companies with this challenge, this paper presents a general approach on how to find the right degree of centralization for main functions considering the overall efficiency in global production networks.

The paper evaluates the effect of container handling rules to the smoothness of container movement. The movement includes box transfer from into vessel, movement in stacking yard and discharging box in-out the port. High amount container stacked in stacking yard indicates problem in container flow. The goals of this research was to find out the variable that affected balance of container moves, then analyze rules of transfer process and set out the option of reference in order to reduce idle time and excessive stock of containers in stacking yard. The value of this study is to extract factors for reducing idle time and unbalance of container quantity in the chain of transfer area which effect on the port performance through system dynamics simulation. Result discovered reasonable rules could develop for enhancing continuity of container moves are effective arrangement in handling equipment and information sharing among stakeholders.

In 2018, SAE International released a revised version of ADS (Automated Driving System) classification standard—SAE J3016 and divided it into six different classification levels. Many people doubt about the reliability of AV (Autonomous Vehicles with ADS), ADS, and HAD (Highly Automated Driving). They may wonder if and when the public is ready to enter different SAE levels. To illustrate and resolve some of their questions, this paper divides "ADS reliability and safety" into the following four segments: (1) AV hardware reliability, (2) HAD reliability, (3) Integration reliability by road tests, and (4) resilience & CPS (CyberPhysical System) reliability. The paper tries to answer the following RQs. RQ1: Are the reliability and safety of vehicle hardware sufficient for the current SAE level 0-2 vehicles? RQ2: Are HAD’s decisions reliable in all current workable scenarios? RQ3: Is the failure rate of ADS significantly better than that of human-driven vehicles in public testing? RQ4: Do human drivers have to intervene or participate in while driving AVs?

Although IoT-enabled appliances are commercially available, business models to provide services to those appliances has not been established yet. This study proposes a platform business model and assesses the feasibility of the business model. We identify three areas that are necessary to establish the business model: rules and regulations, technical interface and incentives of potential participants. We investigate current situations and show the first two conditions have been satisfied or will be satisfied in the near future. We consider consumers and OEMs as potential participants of the platform business and show that they have incentives to use the platform service by using an agent-based simulation. These findings help not only platformers but also OEMs to design their strategies.

Disruption is one of the critical issues that affect the performance and costs of supply chain management. The appropriate adjusting of supply chain disruptions is considered as a competitive privilege for companies. Hence, this paper aims to improve an optimization approach to select suppliers and allocate the proper quota of order to each one considering supplier disruption. A Multi-Objective Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MOMILP) is proposed model with five objective functions, minimize costs of the transaction and supplying, the percentage of delayed products, and the percentage of returned products, as well as maximize capabilities of orders tracking by customers. Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm-II (SPEA-II) and Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) are developed to settle this problem. The efficiency of the solution algorithms is investigated based on four criteria for eight computational experiments. The results indicate the SPEA-II algorithm provides better solutions in comparison with the NSGA-II algorithm.
中断是影响供应链管理绩效和成本的关键问题之一。对供应链中断的适当调整被认为是企业的竞争特权。因此，本文旨在改进一种考虑供应商中断的供应商选择优化方法，并为每个供应商分配适当的订单配额。提出了一种多目标混合整数线性规划(MOMILP)模型，该模型具有5个目标函数，分别是交易和供应成本最小化、延迟产品百分比最小化、退货百分比最小化以及客户跟踪订单能力最大化。针对这一问题，提出了强度Pareto进化算法- ii (SPEA-II)和非支配排序遗传算法- ii (NSGA-II)。通过8个计算实验，基于4个准则考察了求解算法的效率。结果表明，与NSGA-II算法相比，SPEA-II算法提供了更好的解。

A good Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system APS helps to improve the order fulfilment process by providing real-time delivery commitment to customer order. However, the implementation of which can be difficult as it involves a great deal of business process improvement effort, which may involve some cleaning up of existing data, evaluation of the current work order tracking practices, re-evaluating bills of material and more. Such processes must take into account operational scenarios that are difficult to model and capture in a theoretical research paper, but are key to implementing an APS system. This paper deals with the challenges of real-world operational challenges of implementing an APS system and the software features, business improvements and operational workflow changes required to overcome these challenges for productivity gain.
