The need to integrate service providers into an existing customer supply chain requires the collective know-how of the coordination mode, including the ability to synchronize interdependent processes, to integrate information systems and to cope with distributed learning. About this topic the EU-funded InCoCo-S project is developing a new standard business reference model with key focus on operation & integration of business related services in supply chains. Based on the requirement analysis concrete business processes have been developed to integrate services in the existing customer supply chain both on a strategic and operational level.

In the 21st century, the robot is rapidly emerging in the general public. In particular, the intelligent robot will play important roles in the future by strengthening the global competitiveness. In this paper, strategies to improve the utilization of the intelligent robot were investigated using a Structural Equation Model (SEM). The relation among various factors that have a potential influence on robot utilization is explored. According to the results of our study, the current government policies are not effective on revitalization of the robot industry, mainly due to excessive policies implemented simultaneously by the Korean government. However, a Robot Utilization Expectation Index of 75.86 indicates that many people expect a robot as useful in their daily life. These results are expected to contribute to stimulating the robot industry in Korea.

It is not all the IT that can bring the competitive advantage for the enterprises; also it is not all the IT which produces significant influence to the competition that will certainly be able to bring the competitive advantage for the enterprises. To the former, this paper classifies the IT apply on enterprises value chain on the perspective of obtaining competitive advantages, namely, support type, tool type, function type, flow type and inter-enterprises type, also differentiates their possible influence to competition. To the latter, this paper induces two key policies for enterprises obtaining competitive advantages by applying IT: improving the level of alignment of IT strategy and business strategy, training and applying IT capability.

The study conducted by the authors analyzed economic parameters related to the supply chain, in other words, test the wealth impact of the foundry that announce technology innovations (TI). And further, two key topics are including: the first one is the immediate impact of TI on the foundry¿s return on stock price, and the second one is its subsequent impacts on its partners on the supply chain. The results indicate that the immediate impacts of TI on foundry¿s return on stock price. As well as, on average, announcements of technology innovation are associated with positive excess returns. And the economic worth impacts had a relatively short time interval which is from (-10; 10) to (-2; 2) due to the technology transience over the industry.

This paper investigates the problem of optimizing product recovery options within the reverse logistic context. A linear programming model is developed to find optimal allocation of returned products in different quality classes to certain recovery options. The objective is to maximize the profit. Qualities and quantities of returned products, demands, prices of the recovered products and costs for recovery are all considered in the model. The model is used to examine the effects of flexibility in product recovery allocation. Computation results show that flexible allocation between the returned products in different quality classes and the recovery options are beneficial.

The sequence of manufacturing process should meet process constraints during the process planning optimization. The qualitative constraints are represented implicitly as geometry relationships, process rules and manufacturing environment, it is difficult to apply in the process optimization. A constraint matrix is established to express process constraints; transfer rules and regulation are also designed to ensure the reliability and the veracity when the qualitative constraint message is transferred into matrix. Based on constraint matrix, a process sequence optimization model is set up and genetic algorithm is used to obtain the optimal process sequence. An example is presented to indicate that the constraint matrix not only ensure the process optimization¿s veracity but also enhance the performance efficiency.

Under a VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) system, the vendor holds a certain level of control over not only inbound replenishment decisions on stocking but also outbound re-supply decisions. Hence, vendor faces a better opportunity to synchronize the inventory and transportation decision. While shipment consolidation can reduce the transportation cost, however, delivery time to the customer may increase. Thus, inventory and transportation decision must be coordinated considering both customer service requirement and transportation cost. In this study, we have developed a optimal outbound dispatch policy to maximize profits under a quantity based dispatching policy. A mathematical model is developed and an efficient algorithm is provided to obtain the optimal parameters for the proposed policy.

Presently, the leather goods industry in Thailand is facing a severe competition. According to customers the quality and image of products from Thailand are dissatisfying. Thai products often not meet customer satisfactions and requirements mainly due to lack of identity. The research aims to evaluate the brand identity to semantics and presence of design elements, and to validate the perceived message according to what is expressed in product advertising associated with the perception of customers. This paper focuses on the analysis of customers¿ perception after the detailed design of the product. It includes 2 phases. The first phase aims to explore the customers¿ perception to product visual form of luxurious brand. The second phase aims to explore the design elements with express brand identity. This approach will lead further study in order to improving the design expression through specific design elements.

This paper proposes a coned context-dependent DEA model by incorporating cone ratios into context-dependent DEA models. This allows for the input of experts knowledge and judgment in the production of rational scores that evaluate mutual funds relative attractiveness and progress. Based on this model, we make an empirical study of mutual funds in China and manage to draw some insightful management information. The paper shows that the coned context measure helps investors to select the best fund and helps fund managers to identify any potential competitors. The reason of performance differences and improvement venues are also analyzed.
