Managing the trade-off implications of global supply
The cost versus response trade-off is a growing logistics issue due to many markets being increasingly characterized by demand uncertainty and shorter product life cycles. This is exacerbated further with supply increasingly moving to low cost global sources. However, the poor response implications of global supply are often not addressed or even acknowledged when undertaking such decisions. Co...
متن کاملModeling the Trade-off between Manufacturing Cell Design and Supply Chain Design
Nowadays, we are witnessing the growth of firms that distribute the production capacity of their products to a wide geographic range to supply the demand of several markets. In this article, the relationships and interactions between cell design and supply chain design are investigated. For this purpose, a novel integrated model is presented for designing dynamic cellular manufacturing systems ...
متن کاملManaging the Exploration/Exploitation Trade-Off in Reinforcement Learning
In this work, we present a model that integrates both exploration and exploitation in a common framework. First of all, we define the concept of degree of exploration from a state as the entropy of the probability distribution on the set of admissible actions in this state. This entropy value allows to control the degree of exploration linked to this state, and should be provided by the user. T...
متن کاملManaging the KM Trade-Off: Knowledge Centralization versus Distribution
KM is more an archipelago of theories and practices rather than a monolithic approach. We propose a conceptual map that organizes some major approaches to KM according to their assumptions on the nature of knowledge. The paper introduces the two major views on knowledge –objectivist, subjectivist and explodes each of them into two major approaches to KM: knowledge as a market, and knowledge as ...
متن کاملManaging Quality in a Global Supply Chain
Based on literature in corporate citizenship, quality is defined as related to the product itself as well as to the environmental and social impact of the production in the whole value chain. Environmental-friendly labels, or eco-labels, which are appearing on a number of products, are a testimony to that. This is particularly the case for textiles where e.g. 'organic cotton' is increasingly pe...
