First-Mover Advantage is widely applied in Strategic Management, Marketing and Economic. But up to now, there is no research is available to determine whether or not the existence of FMA when Chinese automobile enterprises are facing the anfractuous and dynamic environment. This paper develops a new approach for the empirical analysis on FMA based on ARIMA model. By the comparison between predicting...
In order to acquire the strategy framework for new service operation system design driven by operational loss to provide strategic insights to academics and practitioners, based on the scientific research and literature reviews, issue of deployment scheme considering both operational failure as an imperative for service design and the fit between service characteristics and delivery channel options...
Mass customization (MC) requires a toolkit to quickly and precisely transfer customer demand information to each production stage of the company and better satisfy customer requirements. But, the existing Web toolkits in MC environments, also known as configurators, choice boards, customer-company interaction systems cannot be commonly used in different kinds of companies or different customization...
The analysis of trade-offs between competitive priorities is one of the core issues in operations strategy research. Schmenner and Swink propose a theory of performance frontiers to unify trade-offs findings. Vastag offers explanations of the inputs and outputs of the theory and argues that the operating frontiers are more important than the asset frontiers. Our research makes two important clarifications...
Firstly points out the defects of traditional BTS production mode and there is no conditions to put BTO in practice nowadays, puts forward mixed production mode BTS&BTO which combined the advantages of BTS and BTO. Further indicates three feasible manners for the mixed production mode, which can be consulted in actual production environment: (1) based on the different periods of product lifecycle;...
Considering research progress of complexity study and characteristic of supply chain coordination, from the relation between the complexity of a system and the amount of information which is needed to describe the state of a system, this paper proposes a quantifying model of 3-echelon supply chain coordination complexity information entropy based. The model includes two parts: supplier-manufacturer...
The TOC technique for project management is often referred to as the "critical chain" technique. It's pivotal to determine the buffer which is suggested to providing sufficient protection against delays in project completion time. Owing to the "Student syndrome", many buffer sizing techniques have been investigated to increase project performance. However, the decision maker is...
In supply chain environment, the introduction of BTO brings much changes to production system. However, which operation mode is the most appropriate to the supply chain system? There is still not an accepted viewpoint in researchers and practitioners. So itpsilas necessary to consider the possible and feasible operation mode in supply chain. Through comparing the pure BTS and combined BTS & BTO...
In recent years, much attention has been focused by practitioners as well as academics on a new manufacturing paradigm called 'instant customerisation' (IC). One of critical operation tactics is finalise-to-individual demand forecasting to realize IC. It attaches more importance to individual demand forecasting, especially short-term forecasts. However, there is scarcely any relevant research. According...
The direct application of the theory of constraints (TOC) to project management, known as critical chain scheduling, has recently emerged as one of the most popular approaches to project management. However, Goldratt's recommendation which cut all durations estimates in half seems very arbitrary. Recently, some approaches have been introduced to overcome this problem in this field, many of them adopt...
This paper explores the application strategies and processes that BTO must have based on case investigation. The research results include: (1) the ultimate directions for BTO to implement and upgrade is to expand the customization degree and scope, and reduce the order-to-delivery time continually on the base of building standard products to order; (2) setting up order analysis process and adaptability...
E-management is an idea that emerges as the rapid development of Internet and e-business environment. E-management is an effective method for the enterprise to win competitive advantages or core competence. An e-enterprise is the goal and the result of a successful e-management. To implement e-management successfully, we should take e-technology as precondition and e-source as foundation, in an operation...
Traditional revenue management is equated with capacity control and assumes demand and selling price are exogenous. A joint pricing and capacity allocation model is formulated based on the characteristics for BTO manufacturing. Then, due to the demand uncertainty, a chance constrained programming method is proposed to transform the model. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed model and the application...
