The customer oriented market leaded to the growth of complexity of production and service processes. This growing complexity has increased the required logistics operations and leaded to the appearance of global supply chain strategies. There are several supply strategies, which are based on just-in-time philosophy and they are core tools of leaning. One of these JIT-based supply strategies is ...

[ ]internationally operating businesses and governments started to realize that extremely efficient (lean) global value chains designed on the basis of just-in-time principle came with a huge cost: lack resilience after shock ]international are expected return white board design follow just-in-case aim increase their For labor, ‘boundaryless career’ will become standard across many segments in ...

In manufacturing, great gains in performance have been realized by a new production philosophy, which leads to "lean production". This new production philosophy is a generalization of such partial approaches as JIT, TQM, time-based competition, and concurrent engineering. In construction, lean production is little known. The concepts, principles and methods of lean production are reviewed, and ...

Lean is a strategy that aims to achieve smooth production flow by eliminating waste and hence helps manufacturing firms realize their time, cost, quality goals. Food manufacturers not only have limited ability offer uniform but also greater chance of generating wastes due the perishable nature materials. This study investigates degree which Sri Lankan food sector practicing lean examines direct...

Many factors affect JIT implementation directly or indirectly. Factors such as product quality and lead time directly affect the implementation of JIT. On the other hand, factors such as work environment, working conditions, motivation, flexibility whether manufacturing or organizational affect JIT implementation indirectly, although their impact is no less important than those affecting direct...

T understand the impact of social capital on knowledge integration and performance within digitally enabled teams, we studied 46 teams who had a history and a future working together. All three dimensions of their social capital (structural, relational, and cognitive) were measured prior to the team performing two tasks in a controlled setting, one face-to-face and the other through a lean digi...

Although the term World Class Manufacturing (WCM) is known long ago, it finds out its applicationeven today especially in production organizations. WCM still has one major advantage over thecurrently well-known and widespread concepts for process optimization such as lean production, JIT,six sigma, SCM, and TQM. While these concepts are generally focused on the achievement of speed<...

BACKGROUND Police officers are often required to undertake physically demanding tasks, like lifting, dragging and pursuing a suspect. Therefore, physical performance is a key requirement. METHODS Retrospective data for 76 male police officers (mean age = 39.42 ± 8.41 years; mean weight = 84.21 ± 12.91 kg) was obtained. Data included anthropometric (skinfolds, estimated percentage body fat, le...
