From the perspectives of values, modern equipment manufacturing enterprises have to keep on the pursuit of innovation based on the green and environmental protection, which requires enterprises to be based on the ecological strategy. Therefore, equipment manufacturing enterprises regard BPR in low-carbon economy as the principle and 3DCE shall be regarded as a platform for the BPR in terms of product...
The rise of China manufacturing industry has won the “World Factory” reputation, but the equipment manufacturing industry of China still in the low-end value chain of the global industrial chain. Vigorously promoting the information and industrialization integration can bring the industry from large to strong. For China, “manufacturing large” to “manufacturing power” points out the direction of development...
In traditional business environment, the business enterprises emphasize the meticulous division of labor, entrusting the real object resources, realizing internal value of enterprises with the artificial means and traditional ways. But the traditional enterprises value chains have already displayed some shortage in the new development environment. The development of E-commerce produced a series of...
With the integration of the global economy, more and more Chinese manufacturing enterprises are expanding beyond our traditional borders, so research on the operations strategy under the background of international subcontracting is becoming increasingly important. The first part of this paper reviews the development of the operations strategy, gives a survey on lean and agile manufacturing. The second...
This paper proposes an integrated production and inventory model for a whole green manufacturing supply chain consisting of multiple-raw materials suppliers, multiple-parts suppliers, a manufacturer, multiple distributors, multiple retailers and a third party collector for used finished products. In the system under study, we consider limited contract period among the players in a specific time period...
This paper proposes integrated production and inventory cycle in a whole green manufacturing supply chain network which consists of multiple-raw materials suppliers named as tier-2 suppliers, multiple-parts suppliers named as tier-1 suppliers, a manufacturer, multiple distributors, multiple retailers and a third party product collector. In a whole manufacturing supply chain network, tier-2 suppliers...
In recent years, Intel Corporation (Intel) has established itself as a leader in assessing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This leadership role was established after many years of effort driven by a wide range of external drivers. New demands by many of the same external entities now require companies like Intel to perform comprehensive reviews of their water footprints. Unlike carbon footprinting,...
The product carbon footprint (PCF) of a mainstream Dell laptop, including raw materials consumption, manufacturing, logistics, product use and end-of-life management was assessed in order to determine environmental “hot spots” across the life cycle. Product bill of material (BOM), supply chain logistics, product energy use and end-of-life scenario data were utilized to model the carbon footprint using...
This study aims to examine the factors that influence the organization intention towards the use of green manufacturing technology in China. A green technology acceptance model with six factors is constructed. The model is preliminary tested using data gathered from 48 practitioners. Confirmatory factor analysis is used to validate the model, and structural equation modelling is used for data analysis...
Driven by internet and e-Commerce, cost comparison is easy. However, most of the manufacturers are still using conventional distribution channel and sale agents, these channels are known as demand chain. On the other hand, consumers are performing price searching through internet to fulfill their expectation on price. To maintain the price advantage and to keep the profit, new demand chain members...
In today's global and competitive business environment cost control and cost management have become a decisive variable in the firm's financial success. This requires reliable tools and techniques to estimate business expenses and enhance the understanding about business operation costs. The ultimate reason for firms to adopt activity-based costing and management (ABC/M) is to manage and control its...
The semiconductor manufacturing model has evolved in the 1990s from entirely owned by Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) to a specialized collaboration value chain composed of different key sub-industries. Continuous evolvement has driven the Integrated Circuit (IC) design service in becoming a critical and emerging sub-industry to the semiconductor value chain since year 2000. The IC design service...
Nowadays, manufacturers are facing great challenges with regard to the production of green products due to the emerging issue of hazardous substance management (HSM). In particular, environmental legislation pressures have yielded to increased risk, manufacturing complexity and green components demands. The green principles were expanded to many departments within organization, including supply chain...
The selection of supplier is very important in manufacturing enterprise. After analyzing the general approach for this problem, a new solution is proposed for this issue. By this method, the uniformity is increased, comprising to general. This article mainly combines Entropy and AHP through one kind of combination model to evaluate suppliers, realizing mutual compensation of advantages, obtaining...
With two chains cooperation, the operation of closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) networks based on remanufacturing are studied. The model of CLSC networks is established. An l2 norm of the discrete-time transfer function of CLSC networks is described as a method to quantify the bullwhip effect. It is the minimum of the up bounded of the bullwhip effect. To reduce the bullwhip effect, we apply the linear...
It is well known that stable supply chain is absolutely necessary for enterprises, so how to maintain stable supply system becomes an important content in SCM. Because supply chain system itself is a very complex system, the interacting relationship among key factors in this system must be studied in order to grasp accurately and forecast its running rules. In this paper, a model based on pulse process...
To supply chain network design problems with considering E-commerce of scale and further demand fluctuations, a reliability evaluation method is developed to evaluate the performance of plants under demand fluctuations. In addition, a mathematical programming model is developed to determine the optimal adjustment decisions regarding production reallocation among plants under different fluctuating...
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is gaining significant interest from the aircraft manufacturing industry. It has become an increasingly recognized technology, with its real time tracking ability at a much greater level of accuracy, and provides more value across a supply network. RFID-enabled technology with an associated system structure has emerged to provide solutions which apparently close...
A dynamic decentralized supply chains system was established, and this decentralized system was able to reproduce the amplification problem observed in real systems, and was able to reproduce the tradeoff observed between the stability and customer satisfaction level vs cost. The systematic decision making processes for improving the performance of supply chains was designed. The implementation of...
Supply-chain modeling based on multi-agent includes four step modeling of analyzing composing of supply chain entity, establishing operation flow, designing operation processing agent and unit frame. Owing to agent has basic attribute of target, knowledge and sign, universal architecture is composed of communication, operation processing, reasoning, learning and message units. According to the members...
