Netland, Torbjørn H. „Company-specific production systems: Managing production improvement in global firms“. Doctoral thesis, Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet, Institutt for industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:no:ntnu:diva-23711.

How can a firm improve the production of all its plants simultaneously? Many multinational firms have suggested they can do so by developing strategic production improvement programmes and implementing them in their dispersed network of plants. Instead of leaving every subsidiary to solve their own improvement issues, they offer a company-specific production system: an XPS. The ‘X’ stands for the company’s name, and ‘PS’ stands for production system or an equivalent. A few good examples include the Bosch Production System, Caterpillar Production System, Jotun Operations System, Nissan Production Way and—the main case of my research—the Volvo Production System (VPS). When developing an XPS, a firm adapts principles from available production improvement templates, such as total quality management (Deming, 1982), just-in-time production (Ohno, 1988), theory of constraints (Goldratt and Cox, 1984), world class manufacturing (Schonberger, 1986), mass customisation (Pine, 1993), six sigma (Pande et al., 2000) and, most notably, lean production (Womack et al., 1990). The famous Toyota Production System has been a particular inspiration for other firms (Hofman, 2000; Feggeler and Neuhaus, 2002). However, considering the large amount of investments that are required to establish and manage these systems, it is puzzling that apparently little is known about how to implement them with success. Chakravorty (2010) reported that 60% of all six sigma programmes were unsuccessful, and Pay (2008) suggested the same for 74% of lean production projects. In general, two-thirds of all corporate change programmes tend to fail (Kotter, 1995; Beer and Nohria, 2001; Aiken and Keller, 2009). In particular, a main challenge is to sustain the improvements over time (Bateman, 2005; Schonberger, 2007). Can a corporate multi-plant improvement programme in the form of an XPS deliver the promised results? This dissertation provides answers to this question. The research method has primarily been qualitative case studies, which hold many advantages when studying emergent and less codified phenomena (Voss et al., 2002), such as the XPS. With the exception of a literature synthesis (Paper 2), the research is empirical and based on close interactions with practitioners, for the most part in the Volvo Group (Papers 3-5). For example, to collect data for the fifth paper included in this thesis, I visited 40 Volvo plants on five continents,interviewed 200 managers at Volvo, administered a questionnaire survey that received 312 responses and had full access to Volvo’s own audit data for VPS implementation in the plants. This dissertation consists of two parts: The first is a summary and discussion of the five papers included in this thesis. The second part is a collection of the papers, each answering a general research question: What is the phenomenon of ‘XPS’? (Paper 1) What does the literature say about XPSs? (Paper 2) Strategically, do XPSs make sense? (Paper 3) Empirically, does an XPS improve performance? (Paper 4) In what pattern does an XPS affect performance? (Paper 5) Paper 1 analyses the XPSs of 30 renowned multinational companies and found that the XPS is a strategic production improvement programme tailored to the specific needs of a company. In the literature synthesis in Paper 2, only 30 papers that explicitly studied improvement programmes in an international, multi-plant setting were discovered. Whereas the literature on production improvement and international management are both mature, their union is much less studied. The results in Paper 3 suggest that any firm can attain a competitive advantage if it implements an XPS with a good strategic fit and does so faster than its competitors do. Paper 4 presents evidence that an XPS can significantly improve operational performance. Finally, Paper 5 concludes that the implementation of an XPS seems to affect the performance of a plant in an S-curve pattern: performance first improves slowly, then rapidly, then less rapidly and finally slowly again. These findings have important implications for practice. A general recommendation is that an XPS can be an effective way to improve the production in multiple plants. I balance this advice with a thorough discussion of problematic issues: both methodological and practical. This thesis strives to be helpful to those who either manage or study production improvement, today and in the future.Hvordan kan en bedrift forbedre produksjonen i alle sine fabrikker samtidig? Mange multinasjonale selskaper mener at det kan gjøres gjennom et strategisk produksjonsforbedringsprogram som implementeres i deres globale produksjonsnettverk. Istedenfor å la hver fabrikk selv finne ut av hvordan man best forbedrer produksjonen, tilbyr morsselskapet et bedriftsspesifikt produksjonssystem: et XPS. “X”-en står for bedriftens navn, mens “PS” er en forkortelse for “produksjonssystem”, eller tilsvarende. Noen få gode eksempler inkluderer Bosch Production System, Caterpillar Production System, Jotun Operations System, Nissan Production Way og—hovedcaset i min egen forskning—Volvo Production System (VPS). Når man utvikler et XPS tilpasser bedriften prinsipper fra alle tilgjengelige oppskrifter for produksjonsforbedring, slik som for eksempel “total kvalitetsledelse” (Deming, 1982), “justin- time produksjon” (Ohno, 1988), “flaskehalsstyring” (Goldratt and Cox, 1984), “world class manufacturing” (Schonberger, 1986), “masseprodusert skreddersøm” (Pine, 1993), “six sigma” (Pande et al., 2000) og, trolig mest kjent, “lean produksjon” (Womack et al., 1990). Det berømte produksjonssystemet til Toyota har utvilsomt vært en spesiell inspirasjonskilde for andre bedrifter (Hofman, 2000; Feggeler and Neuhaus, 2002). Men, med tanke på de betydelige investeringene som gjøres i disse systemene, er det overraskende at vi tilsynelatende vet lite om hvordan vi skal lykkes med å implementere dem. Chakravorty (2010) rapporterte at 60 % av alle six sigma programmer feiler. Pay (2008) fant det samme for 74 % av alle lean prosjekter. Generelt mislykkes to tredjedeler av alle endringsprogrammer i bedrifter (Kotter, 1995; Beer and Nohria, 2001; Aiken and Keller, 2009). En hovedutfordring er å opprettholde forbedringsarbeidet over tid (Bateman, 2005; Schonberger, 2007). Kan et globalt produksjonsforbedringsprogram i form av et XPS levere bedre og vedvarende resultater? Denne avhandlingen søker svar på dette spørsmålet gjennom fem artikler og en diskusjon av dem. Forskningsmetoden er først og fremst kvalitative casestudier, som har mange fordeler når man studerer et fremvoksende og ubeskrevet fenomen (Voss et al., 2002)—slik som XPS. Med unntak av litteratur-sammenskrivningen (Artikkel 2) er all min forskning empirisk og basert på tett interaksjon med industribedrifter, for det meste i Volvo Gruppen (Artikkel 3-5). For eksempel, for å samle data til den femte artikkelen besøkte jeg 40 fabrikker på fem kontinenter, intervjuet mer enn 200 ansatte, samlet 312 svar til en spørreundersøkelse og fikk full tilgang til Volvos egne revisjonsdata på implementering av VPS i fabrikkene. Denne avhandlingen består av to deler: Den første delen er en sammenfatning og diskusjon av forskningsdesignet og funnene i de fem artiklene. Den andre delen er en samling av artiklene, hvor hver av dem svarer på et generelt forskningsspørsmål: 1. Hva er fenomenet “XPS”? (Artikkel 1) 2. Hva sier litteraturen om XPS? (Artikkel 2) 3. Strategisk sett, er det fornuftig å utvikle og innføre et XPS? (Artikkel 3) 4. Forbedrer et XPS ytelsen til en fabrikk? (Artikkel 4) 5. I hvilket mønster forbedrer et XPS ytelsen til en fabrikk? (Artikkel 5) Den første artikkelen analyserer innholdet i 30 XPSer tilhørende kjente multinasjonale selskaper og konkluderer at et XPS er et strategisk produksjonsforbedringsprogram som er skreddersydd til den spesifikke bedriften. Artikkel 2 avdekker bare 30 artikler som eksplisitt studerer implementeringen av produksjonsforbedringsprogrammer i internasjonale fabrikknettverk. Mens litteraturen på “produksjonsforbedring” og “internasjonal ledelse” er modne på hver sin side, er foreningen av dem mye mindre studert. Artikkel 3 foreslår at enhver bedrift kan skaffe seg en konkurransefordel dersom den implementerer et XPS som har en god strategisk tilpasning til bedriften, og gjør det raskere enn sine konkurrenter. Artikkel 4 presenterer statistisk signifikante funn som viser at et XPS kan forbedre produktiviteten i en fabrikk. Avslutningsvis, konkluderer Artikkel 5 at implementeringen av et XPS påvirker en fabrikks produktivitet i et S-kurve-mønster: ytelsen forbedres først langsomt, så raskt og økende, så raskt men avtagende og til slutt langsomt igjen. Disse funnene har viktige implikasjoner for praksis. Et generelt råd er at et XPS kan være en effektiv måte å forbedre produksjonen på i mange fabrikker samtidig. Men jeg avveier dette konkrete rådet med en grundig diskusjon av både forskningsmetodiske og praktiske utfordringer. Forhåpentligvis vil denne avhandlingen være til hjelp for dem som enten leder eller forsker på produksjonsforbedring, i dag og i fremtiden.

Nowadays business atmosphere is to constantly come up with new improvements, in order to become more competitive, or simply stay competitive.Lean manufacturing rose up few decades ago and is now famous for its radical improvements but also for its difficulty to implement. The aim of this study is to get a better understanding of how can Lean bring such important changes, but also what must be done in order to implement it.In order to solve the problem of this report, it was decided to conduct a quantitative research relying on a case study. The company chosen wants to implement Lean but does not really know how to achieve it, so it is a very good opportunity for this project to collaborate with it and see what can be done to implement Lean manufacturing.The results of this thesis demonstrate the need of implementing a philosophy, a way of thinking, rather than different production tools. People must also be prepared for long implementation, which can take between 5 to 10 years. One of the key factors for this implementation is the involvement and empowerment of workers, who will massively contribute to the change process by removing different kind of waste which slow down the processes.

Nowadays the computer science is extremely important in business; thanks to it you can automate tasks, streamline processes and obtain information. The best resource for the new companies is the information. I mean, today the information is very necessary with the new technologies. Employers who are responsible to decide in their companies, have begun to understand that the information helps their business and also can be one of the best critical factors that can show us if the company work is successfully or not. (1) In recent years organizations have recognized the importance of managing key resources such as the working hours and the raw materials. ERP applications are often used to standardize business processes and unify data; the importance of that software in the companies is growing every day. Although we also can say that in some cases the ERP software doesn´t solve some business problems because there are processes that aren´t standard or common. Moreover, if we would create a module for our company it has to be usable .The usability is very important because that and the automation will help to increase the performance of coordinators. This project is a study of a particular case of a telecommunications company in which it has found a problem with the production process; In This Project we will be able to solve each problem that will appear in various stages of construction our module. These steps include: a study about if there are problems in the selected area of business, whether buying or building a new module, heuristic techniques and methods to improve the usability, quality of build module using polls, usability guidelines, use case... The results have improved the production of the company and the system provides the necessary information to the coordinators but the coordinators want further improvement. The study of the usability helps users to be ready to use the software correctly.

Atualmente o crescimento da competitividade de mercado exige um alto
desempenho das cadeias produtivas, com prazos menores e preços mais
competitivos. A logística passou, então, a ter papel estratégico nos processos
industriais, sendo de fundamental importância no apoio às tomadas de decisão no
gerenciamento da cadeia de suprimentos (Supply Chain Management - SCM). A
tecnologia de identificação por rádio freqüência (Radio Frequency Identification -
RFID) se tornou nos últimos anos uma ferramenta poderosa, que aliada à
logística, oferece grandes oportunidades para as organizações responderem de
forma mais competitiva e segura às demandas do mercado. O objetivo desta
dissertação é analisar a aplicação da tecnologia RFID no gerenciamento de
figurinos em uma produtora. Para tal, o presente estudo analisa o processo com a
utilização da tecnologia atual (código de barras), e posteriormente com o uso do
RFID. A principal contribuição da presente dissertação é apresentar uma nova
aplicação desta tecnologia na literatura, promovendo uma maior compreensão do
impacto da mesma na indústria cinematográfica brasileira. Com base nos
resultados do estudo de caso realizado, a dissertação apresenta as principais
melhorias obtidas após a utilização da tecnologia RFID, comparando com
vantagens citadas na literatura acadêmica. Com o RFID ganhou-se agilidade no
processo, minimizou-se a quantidade de erros, diminuiu-se o retrabalho e a
quantidade de perdas. Conclui-se que a implantação do RFID foi bem sucedida.Today’s increasing market competitiveness demands a highly performing production chain, with lower delivery times and more competitive price levels. In that scenario, logistics has earned a strategic role across industrial processes, being critically important in supporting Supply Chain Management (SCM) decision making. In recent years, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has become a powerful tool that has been added to logistics, in offering greater opportunities for companies to respond more competitively and safely to market demands. The objective of this paper is assesses the use by a film producer of RFID technology in costume inventory management. The research examines the barcode technology presently in use, and subsequently explores the use of RFID. The main contribution of this work is to introduce in the literature a new application for RFID technology, offering a more comprehensive look of its impact in Brazilian film industry. Based on the results of this case study, the essay shows the main improvements obtained with the use of RFID technology, and offers a comparison to the advantages documented in academic reviews. With RFID in increased agility, minimization of errors, rework and loss. The conclusion is that the RFID implementation was a success.

In this thesis, a real world application of the constant work in process (Conwip) system in an electronics company is realized. The aim of the application is to reduce the work in process (WIP) inventory while maintaining the same throughput level. A model is developed to determine the constant work in process level of the Conwip system for the production lines in this company. The approximated mean value analysis approach is used for the solution. Real system data are collected before and after the Conwip application. Hypothesis tests are used to compare the WIP and the throughput levels of the Conwip system with the existing push control system for a pilot production line. Results of the hypothesis tests show that the Conwip production control system can signinifcantly reduce the WIP while maintaining the same throughput rate.

In a production cycling, the time spent on logistics activities is much longer than the actual time spent in the process. Therefore, the potential space of improving production logistics is very large in many aspects, such as the ability of researching production logistics, the time saving, and the labor saving in the company. By studying the function of the company's production logistics, we can deeply improve our understanding of it, and make the production logistics work efficiently during the whole process of the production cycling. As we know, there are two main modes of production, pull and push production. Choosing a right or better one is the most important in production logistics. The purpose of thesis is to make production logistics work efficiently by analyzing the current production mode in Kerneos (small subsidiaries in Guiyang City in China) as an example. Firstly, we want to make known what is production logistics and production mode, providing readers with production logistics functions and principles of choosing production mode. Then, we will analyze the current production mode of our case company. Finally, basing on our knowledge, we would like to share our opinions or ideas on how to choose a proper way to make our production logistics better in this article. The literature of thesis is focus on pull and push production, and how to choose an effective production type that suit for the enterprise situation. According to the research completed, we suggest using “push” in the enterprise which has large quantities, less variety, and the production cycle is plenty. In the small quantity, variety, and short-cycle, we suggest using “pull”. Otherwise, there come out a new production type named CONWIP(Constant work-in-process), through compared the different advantages and disadvantages between pull and push, our case company Kerneos is suggested to use this new production.

This report focuses on potential ways to improve the reliability of the production process at the wood refining company Dicomad S.R.L. in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. The main theory used has been Lean Production, as this theory suits the circumstances of the company well. Disorder has been the biggest problem, which has caused the safety in the factory to be below an acceptable level. Dicomad has two different businesses – producing decking and furniture. The decking production is fairly standardized whereas the furniture production is customized. The study was carried out during the summer and fall of 2009.The analysis has resulted in changes in the layout of the factory such that a clearer work flow as well as proper order can be maintained. More specifically, three new layout suggestions have been made. The first suggestion makes big changes in the layout creating the “optimal” layout for the current situation. The second makes slightly smaller changes and the third makes small, but important changes to the layout. Our choice of the three is the second suggestion which constitutes the best compromise given the current layout. This suggestion will bring substantial benefits in form of a clearer flow, more organized inventory and separation of the two businesses but does not include a strenuous movement of the molder. Furthermore, each operation in the factory has been scrutinized and suggested improvements have been made to banish disorganization. Suggestions include redesign of machines, addition of collecting mechanisms for material and creation of best practices for machines. The greatest improvements have been possible within the furniture manufacturing as the factory was originally designed for decking production only. Additionally, proposals about improving the light, the air quality and the general organization and cleanliness of the factory have been made.Only suggestions are presented, as the time available for the study was limited and any implementations were beyond our scope.

To boost operational performance and ultimately competitiveness, firms choose to develop company-specific Production Systems (XPS). Developing such production systems the management literature suggests that a XPS must be tailored to the firm operating context to yield full effect. This explorative case study examines how to design a XPS that provides an appropriate operating approach. Clarifying terminological confusion, the study proposes a XPS framework derived from the literature that encompasses three levels of operating elements - philosophical, principle, and practice. Investigating how to prioritize among these elements the study empirically validate the importance of tailoring firm operating approaches. In particular, categorizing practices as technical or socio-technical, and internal or external, the study contradicts existing research and posit that (1) socio-technical practices are a prerequisite for the adoption of technical practices and (2), practice classified as internal also have an external dimension. In addition, the results indicate that a XPS must evolve as contextual requirements and prerequisites change – thus making the design of a XPS dynamic. Finally, this study proposes a case-specific production system, tailored to the requirements of the research objects market-, organizational- and process context.

Multinational corporations, in their continuous pursuit to improve the productivity of their global manufacturing networks, increasingly develop and deploy lasting process improvement programmes. These improvement programmes often take the form of a company-specific production system (XPS); a variation of the Toyota Production System where also elements from other management systems are included. The Jotun Group is a multinational paint producer whom recently have developed their own XPS - Jotun Operations System (JOS) - and implemented this throughout their subsidiaries. They have however experienced varying degree of success with the implementation of JOS between plants and are curious to learn why this is the case.While there is a vast amount of literature investigating the critical success factors for the management systems which XPSs are based on, few studies have looked at the critical success factors for an integrated system such as an XPS. This have resulted in different perceptions on how to best implement XPSs and unanswered questions related to what managers should do to enhance and facilitate the implementation of an XPS in a best possible way. The purpose of this study is to increase the knowledge of how to implement an XPS. This is achieved by applying a mixed method approach where (1) survey data is used to test several hypotheses put forward based on existing theories and where (2) a comparative case study is used to acquire additional in-depth knowledge of how to manage XPSs. In the comparative case study Jotun?s subsidiaries in Saudi-Arabia, Norway and England are investigated.My findings suggest that the implementation of an XPS is a complex task, and that its success is dependent on the application of a range of interrelated factors. Some main determinants for the successful XPS implementation have however been detected. First of all, the role of leadership is found to play a monumental role for the successful implementation of an XPS. Management?s prolonged commitment to the implementation is essential for sustaining the initiatives and for achieving any change. Furthermore, managers need to be very conscious of the impact their involvement in the practical management of the XPS implementation has for its execution, and that its success is dependent on how and to what extent they are practical involved. The deployment and development of process improvement experts are found to play an essential role in organisations that are in their early stages of implementation and where the general level of knowledge and practical experience with improvements initiatives are low. In addition, organisations abilities to produce lasting changes when implementing an XPS are found to be highly dependent on local manager?s ability to lead the change processes.The application of the identified factors is also found to have a direct positive and significant impact on plant performance, and higher degrees of XPS implementation are found to be associated with higher plant performance.

Transmedia narratives use a combination of Barthesian hermeneutic codes, negative capability and migratory cues to guide audiences across multiple media platforms. This thesis examines complex narratives from comics, novels, films and video games, but draws upon the transmedia franchises built around Jim Henson's Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal to provide two primary case studies in how these techniques can be deployed with varying results. By paying close attention to staying in canon, building an open world, maintaining a consistent tone across extensions, carefully deciding when to begin building a transmedia franchise, addressing open questions while posing new ones, and looking for ways to help audiences keep track of how each extension relates to each other, transmedia storytellers can weave complex narratives that will prove rewarding to audiences, academics and producers alike.

Establishing a cross border swine production system is the focus of this thesis. There are three basic sections to this project: 1) the business plan information 2) the study of economic principles and the state of the industry, and 3) the implementation of starting the business. First the project develops a basic business plan for Great Lakes Pork, and then uses economic theories to evaluate business opportunities. The project incorporates basic business plan information such as establishing a business philosophy, which includes company goals and objectives. The process involved the creation of specific business entities and the analysis of different corporate structures: Limited Liability Corporation (LLC), Sub S Corporation, and Class C Corporation. Through this process of establishing this cross border swine production company the Partnership and Cooperative business structures are also evaluated and formed. Great Lakes Pork, Inc was incorporated in Michigan as a Sub S corporation. Economies of size and scale are used as the background for developing this business entity. The Cobweb model is used to help understand and explain the existence of a hog cycle and the ramifications this has for Great Lakes Pork, Inc. These economic principles are applied to current North American data to determine an entry point and to predict the best time to enter the swine industry. A study of the United States-Canada exchange rate is required to understand the dynamics of establishing a swine production company that crosses an international border. The study discusses global issues and possible threats that exist to an international corporation. Finally the implementation phase used models to estimate asset values and incorporated tax planning methods to determine the final corporate structure. The implementation phase includes pro-forma financial statements that were used to secure financing. The implementation phase also included renegotiating supplier contracts based on the data learned during the state of the industry analysis to establish a cost of production that could be profitable for the businesses going forward. The end result is an example of the process used to establish a cross border swine production company.

This thesis provides the analysis of the glass production company BAKU GLASS LLC located in the Republic of Azerbaijan, and proposes a possible expansion strategy that will enhance its international presence abroad. More specifically, it has been demonstrated in the thesis that Georgian glass market has a certain potential taking into account its fast growing economic growth and other areas of the economy. For this purpose, a thorough analysis of the most important sectors that include environmental study of the glass industry in Georgia was carried out. As a result the joint venture with the local firm has been chosen as the most suitable mode of entry to this market. I consider my work to be very helpful in understanding all the necessary areas and fields in the glass industry as such. Moreover, I created and described international expansion proposal for Baku Glass based on the study of various literature related to the topic. To my mind the value added of my work is comprised from detailed analysis, knowledge and foremost the chance to see the company from inside, which is always the most important and valuable element.

This thesis developed from various concerns and debates I have been following in the past few years in social and political theory, in particular the work of Ernesto Laclau with Chantal Mouffe, and that of Slavoj Zizek, and what I call the social theory of hegemony. It also concerns the debates in the academic arena that go under the term of critical organisation and management studies (COMS); in particular the questioning of traditional epistemology, ontology and politics, for example, with the discursive turn, and the critical realist "answer" to this questioning. And it also concerns research I have conducted for three years in a digital multimedia company in the north of England. In this thesis I articulate all these terms in a way that engages with, and contributes to, the discussion on new forms of working (project-based teamwork) and organising (fluid, heterarchical and anarchic nature of work) in the knowledge societies; subjectivity at work (including managerial subjectivity) of highly committed professionals who are entrepreneurial, cool, creative and egalitarian but show how this is "not-all" by elaborating and unravelling on issues of resistance and consent at work. I articulate a position that by addressing politics of production as a question and recuperating its most radical political inspiration, illustrates "what does not fit" - senseless signifiers that show the negativity and limit of social relations, signifiers that return to us the trauma and violence constituting the workplace of our liberal capitalist democracies. More broadly, I argue for the im/possible place of the critique of ideology and the recuperation of illusion and fantasy as political categories.

This dissertation for the M.A. in Creative Writing consists of a full-length play, titled Last Laugh and a mini-dissertation. The mini-dissertation explores the phenomenon of Theatre-for-Development, which differs significantly from the performance tradition of classical African drama. The study identifies ways in which Theatre-for-Development practitioners, animators or catalysts, (interchangeable names given to agents who teach target community members theatre-for-development skills) abandon the conventions of classical African drama performances, in terms of the form of plays, stage management and costumes. They find different and less formal ways to tackle the social problems which the target communities experience. The origins of Classical African drama are traced from the western tradition, from which it borrows heavily, and there is some discussion of the socio-historical conditions that prevailed during the time when African playwrights performed those plays, and the rise of nationalism in colonised African states, which in part influenced their production. This study then examines how the socio-political dynamics in the Zimbabwean post-farm-invasions era gave rise to Theatre-for-Development projects in the newly resettled farming communities that faced social development challenges. Despite the land gains peasants enjoyed, the resettled communities found themselves in places far away from schools, hospitals, shops and social service centres. That was the source of their problems. It will be shown how government sponsored Theatre-for-Development groups to mobilise the people, through theatre, to initiate home-groomed solutions to their social and economic problems during a time when the government was bankrupt and the country’s economy was shattered by the destruction of the agricultural and mining sectors, triggered by the invasions of the white commercial farms. The Ziya Community Theatre’s production of Sunrise is analysed in the light of these considerations.Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the Global South that work in development are said to operate autonomously from their governments yet their very existence depends largely on dominant bureaucratic bodies - mostly Northern influencers. Indeed, many Southern NGOs are dissatisfied with the sector due to these structural and institutional forces that can be exclusionary, dominating and restricting to their autonomy, affecting the organization's sustainability as leaders within their civil societies. I have ventured to explore how one Southern NGO contends with such an environment. Through conducting an ethnography on Social Transformation and Empowerment Projects (STEPS), a nonprofit documentary production company based in Cape Town, South Africa, I have explored how they navigate within these confines. I have investigated what tacit rules they adhere to in order to remain operational in the sector while also exploring what other rules they attempt to subvert in order to emancipate themselves from these structural forces. This dissertation investigates power struggles in line with Foucault's (1980) theoretical framing on how power exists everywhere and in everything. This study also employs Bourdieu's (1977) concept of habitus and Vigh's (2009) utilization of the concept of navigation as ways to gain a deeper introspection into how these particular practitioners negotiate their positionality within development. Overall, I argue that central to how STEPS navigate the terrain of a contentious development field rest primarily in key decision-makers within the organization. The nature of these practitioners as informed by their life histories has created dispositions that not only inform their agency as individuals but also transfer to their organization (culture, structure, vision, ideologies, ambition). Despite external structures that can also act as roadblocks or allies in actions, choices and agency, the habitus of these prominent figures within the organization are key to actions of the collective when presented with negative or positive structural forces.

Absenteeism is a complex set of behaviours masquerading as a unitary phenomenon. Absenteeism is a big problem in the motor manufacturing industry, especially, because of the number of processes that are labour intensive. Absenteeism is a multifaceted problem with many antecedents which make it challenging to resolve or contain. Financial impact is one of the consequences of absenteeism on a business, especially when one thinks that the primary objective of a firm in to make money. Absenteeism defeats these objectives through cost incurred for overtime to catch up production losses. Furthermore, in cases where replacement of personnel is necessary, this may include administrative costs related to the time human resource personnel spend looking for replacement employees or the time production management spends re-assigning employees. Absenteeism results in decreased productivity and may affect the quality of the product due to the increased workload and burden put on employees who are at work. Absenteeism is classified into scheduled and unscheduled absenteeism. Although some absenteeism is avoidable, it is important to understand that some absence is unavoidable. This is because people may fall ill, get injured or have unavoidable obligations which may lead to absenteeism. The purpose of this study was to identify the antecedents of absenteeism, with the assumption that once they are identified, they can be controlled, reduced or eliminated and the absenteeism rate thus reduced. The theoretical study focused on defining absenteeism, ascertaining the impact of absenteeism in the workplace, especially in an international organisation in the motor manufacturing industry and discussing the antecedents of absenteeism and strategies that can be used to manage these antecedents. The empirical study consisted of a survey, with a questionnaire as a data collecting tool. The process used to conduct the survey was to distribute the questionnaire among production employees in three operational units; namely Final Assembly, Paint Shop and Body Shop at a motor manufacturing company. Employees were approached, the purpose of the questionnaire explained and they were asked if they would be willing to complete the questionnaire. Employees who agreed to complete the questionnaire were briefed on the contents of the questionnaire and the completion process. The relationship between biographical variables and absenteeism was discussed. For the purpose of this study the following independent variables were discussed: age, marital status, gender, work area, length of service and number of dependents. The empirical study focused on the antecedents of absenteeism, and specifically job, organisational and personal factors, as well supervisors‟ attempts to manage absenteeism. The respondents indicated that they believed absenteeism was a problem in the study and that people stayed away for reasons other than genuine illness. It was recommended that absenteeism figures, such as the overall Gross Absence Rate (GAR) and Absence Frequency Rate for the organisation, and specific work areas and teams, are regularly communicated to employees and displayed prominently to emphasise the importance of attendance. Some suggestions were that: Supervisors should foster a genuinely respectful relationship between themselves and employees which will results in employees feeling obliged to be at work. The company should introduce a day care or crèche at work to allow female employees to bring their kids to work in the event they are unable to be looked after at home. Alcohol and drug abuse should not be seen as an external problem in the organisation but rather as something an organisation should get involved in to assist employee who might have a problem. The first step was to create a channel where employee can feel free to approach the company if they are in need of help. The study demonstrated that it was important to identify antecedents in order to address the real problems related to absenteeism.

TCG is a multinational pharmaceutical company. As part of its drive to stay lean and competitive, TCG hopes to effectively maximize its capital assets by reducing warehouse inventory. This thesis aims to reduce the inventory of intermediate products through the use of fixed demand rate production planning and inventory controls. The production planning model attempts to derive the optimal production cycle time based on demand rates, production rates and setup times to prevent stock outs. The optimal cycle time should provide the optimal inventory levels for the intermediate products. The production planning model stabilizes the fluctuations in inventory levels and outperforms TCG's production plan in 2008 by 115 pallet spaces. With an order-up-to policy, the inventory level is capped at a maximum level, preventing uncontrolled accumulation of inventory of the intermediate products. This will prevent stock outs and stabilize inventory levels. Using an order-up-to policy to minimize the inventory, a reduction of up to 1.8% can be achieved.

Strategy formation and implementation is critical to the growth and success of companies. Typically, modification of corporate level strategy necessitates division level changes as well. These changes are eventually implemented at the department level and depending on the magnitude of the change, it can have a significant effect on the way employees perform their day-to-day activities. The objective of this thesis is to illustrate how Boeing's adoption of lean manufacturing and Propulsion Systems' - division responsible for engine build-up - vision of "One Line, One Way, One Day" alters the engine build-up process. Previous improvement studies on engine buildup take into account the flexibility and mobility of tooling equipment. This thesis builds on that idea and provides a business case for four (4) alternate approaches that align with the aforementioned corporate initiatives. The final recommendation is based on an in-depth analysis of the costs, risks, tangible and intangible benefits, of the alternate approaches. It will enable managers to make informed decisions on the future of engine build-up with the ultimate goal of developing a mixed model engine line without monuments.

This thesis is the result of a three month internship at TCG Pharmaceuticals, Singapore. With the worldwide initiative of lean in TCG, it has implemented the TCG Production System which finds its roots in the famous Toyota Production System. The recognition of the importance of reducing the waste of inventory by TCG is the main motivational force for this internship. This thesis documents the inventory levels of the finished goods in the current production scenario and also analyzes the inventory levels for the future as the production of a new product is aimed to be launched this year. The main purpose of this thesis is to suggest ways to better manage the finished goods inventory at TCG. The future states are modeled using a single stage multi product system and various scenarios are developed. A comparison is made between the TCG's planned production schedule and the production schedules developed based on the different scenarios generated using the model. The performance is measured in terms of the space that is needed in each case to hold the inventory.

This project was initiated in collaboration with a start-up company in the solar cell industry, aiming at producing organic photo voltaic cells in a roll-to-roll process. The company is currently undergoing a transformation from a process validation stage towards a small-scale pilot production, with the goal to reach a steady state production during Q1 2020. To achieve their goals, the company wants to increase the degree of industrialisation within their production. The undertaken approach during the project was therefore divided into the following steps: 1. Identify challenges faced in the production. 2. Perform a literature review. 3. Target the challenges by implementing conventional methods used within the manufacturing industry. 4. Launch a production stress test to get experience from a continuous production flow and to validate the new production status. 5. Evaluate test results. In step 2, the chosen methods were KPIs, stand-up meetings, standardisation, production planning and scheduling, FMEA and flow simulation. Furthermore, general conclusions concerning the applicability and utility of the methods, at this early stage of a production were investigated. The production test consisted of having three consecutive rolls going thru the production. When evaluating the test results and the applicability and utility of the chosen methods, following conclusions were drawn: • KPIs and production stand-up meetings are considered as useful at this early stage. • Standardisation, FMEA and production planning and scheduling are useful, but not necessary at this early stage. • Flow simulation is currently not necessary. When a company starts its transformation from having a research based small-scale lab production towards an industrialised high-volume production, an additional perspective must be applied. Most important were therefore the change in mind-set, occurring as an effect caused by the synergies arising when all methods were used combined.Detta projekt initierades isamarbete med ett start-up företag inom organisk solcellstillverkning som producerar i en rulle-till-rulle process. Företaget är för tillfället i en övergångsfas från processvalidering till en småskalig pilot-produktion, med mål att nå en stabil produktion under första kvartalet 2020. För att nå målet vill företaget öka sin produktions industrialiseringsnivå. Tillvägagångssättet för att nå detta har delats in i följande steg: 1. Identifiera utmaningar produktionen ställs inför. 2. Utföra en litteraturstudie. 3. Adressera utmaningarna genom att implementera konventionella metoder som används inom den tillverkande industrin. 4. Lansera ett produktionstest för att erhålla erfarenhet av ett kontinuerligt produktionsflöde och att validera produktionsstatusen. 5. Utvärdera och analysera testresultaten. De valda metoderna, omnämnda i steg 2, var: Produktionsnyckeltal, stå-upp möten, standardisering, produktionsplanering och schemaläggning, riskanalys och simulering av produktionsflöden. Allmänna slutsatser gällande tillämpligheten samt användarbarheten av dessa metoder i ett tidigt stadie av en produktionsutvecklingsfas utreddes. Produktionstestet bestod av att låta tre rullar efter varandra gå igenom hela produktionslinan. När tillämpligheten och användarbarheten utvärderades kunde följande slutsatser dras: • Produktionsnyckeltal och Stå-upp möten anses vara användbara i detta tidiga stadie. • Standardisering, Riskanalys samt produktionsplanering och schemaläggning anses vara användbara men inte nödvändiga i detta tidiga stadie. • Simulering av produktionsflödet anses ej vara nödvändigt för tillfället. När ett företag börjar genomgå förändringen från att vara ett forskningsbaserat småskalig labbproduktion till en industrialiserad storvolymstillverkare bör ytterligare ett perspektiv beaktas, det industriella tillverkningsperspektivet. Viktigast var därför den förändring i tankessättet om industriell produktion som uppstod som en synergieffekt när alla metoder användes i en kombination.

This article describes how Lean Manufacturing tools were applied in a Peruvian textile company. A production management model is proposed whose goal is to reduce the number of non-conforming products in the pants manufacturing line. For this, all information was gathered from the production area of the company under study. With the use of quality tools, the diagnosis of the current situation of the pants line was made, identifying the most significant defects, which were 19.43% of produced units in 2018. It was determined that the main causes of the observed defects refer to non-standardized sewing processes, quality control errors, non-standardized cutting processes, and poor production planning. The application of VSM and SMED allowed the correct standardization of denim pants production, TQM allowed proper control and quality management of the production process, and JIT for optimal production planning.

In recent decades, the demand for a wide variety of products, lead to the requirement of having a reduced cost of manufacturing, shorter cycle times and perfect quality; forcing companies to implement different engineering techniques to have the best manufacturing system. With which it seeks to efficiently control the process, provide an optimal area of work, establish performance standards with respect to the operations that the company performs, thus generating better results in the organization to achieve higher levels of user satisfaction. In the case of the study, the main line of production in the company was analyzed, detecting that representative costs originated from reprocessing and downtime. The result of greater impact obtained was the reduction of the problems in one (60%) and (15%) respectively. In this way, it is expected that companies in the paint industry or products related to the sector can use the results obtained as a reference in their process of continuous improvement, improving the management and performance of the organization and customer satisfaction.

Among the top 10 companies of annual “Top 50 Best Performed Companies” researched and published by Common Wealth Magazine, more than half are very related to Consumer Electronics Manufacturing. Mr. Terry Kuo, CEO of Foxconn Corporation, one of the largest electronic OEM companies in the world, once said “The industry of Consumer Electronics Manufacturing particularly fits into the electronic-production environment of Taiwan. The characteristic of this market is to produce high-volume products with low cost/price and the learning curve from modeling to high-volume production can be very short. Only the electronic companies in Taiwan can handle and catch up the production speed like this.”. We can, therefore, tell the importance of Consumer Electronics Manufacturing industry for Taiwan. In this fast-changing technology era, the enterprise should not only carefully adjust the organizational structure and inspect the business model; they should also make adjust to their business strategy and even the core industrial focus in order to adopt themselves in this state-of-art global environment. In addition, the life cycle of each product is also shortened with the changing desires of the new customers. Companies need to continuously produce and promote new products that fit the current market so they can expand their market share and thus, increase their ability to gain profit for the enterprise. My research is performed with case studies and the researching target is A Corporation. Although A Corporation still has solid revenue growth during recent years, they are facing enormous pressure from its fast-changing industry, mergers of international competitors as well as the less and less gross profit of its products. The main goal of my research is to find out how A Corporation can figure out its niche market and continue their successful development through the past thirty years. My research is based on the collection and study of related literature and second data as well as by applying the industry and environmental analysis to search for the industrial competitive advantage of A Corporation. I will further study and discuss the critical winning factor and business strategy for the Small and Medium Size TFT-LCD industry so it will provide valuable references for A Corporation, its industry and the future academic studies. Based on my research, the main reasons that A Corporate can remain its solid growth through the past thirty years are: (1) A Corporation uses prospective vision to catch and leverage the opportunities from the changing environment and its industry. (2) A Corporation clearly defines the industrial position they want to be in the future and develops their production lines based upon their niche market (3) A Corporation focuses on their core business and maintain a healthy financial operations. (4) A Corporation creates positive relationship with their employees and demonstrates their strong performance from the power of great teamwork.

“The Silicon Valley of textile market is in Taiwan” is a pleasure. The Textile industry in Taiwan has gone through the rapid growth since 1950. It came with the complete textile manufacturing networking and production system in Taiwan. In order to meet the dynamic demands of the global market, the firms try to make a breakthrough on product and update the equipment consistently. All the efforts make that Taiwan play a key role on textile supply in the global market. This study aims to show how the textile firms in Taiwan behave in textile industry, and deliver a whole understanding of the industry environment. We adopt the Strategic Matrix Method to analyze how the three different scale firms moderate their resources responding to the changing market, and take appropriate strategies to maintain the competitive advantage. Based on the business-level strategy comprised of six dimensions (Seetoo,2005)Ｗe proposed ten research findings. We also conclude three practical suggestions to the three different scales firms: (1)For those large-size firms which hold the high fixed assets, they supposed to reduce their loss on spare capacity, incline to be OBM-oriented.(2)For those medium-size firms which have the unique social capital, and hold less assets, they supposed to develop the resource-complementary collaboration.(3)For those medium-size firms which chose not to issue the stocks and have the core competence ,they supposed to maintain their flexibility, focus on the innovation technologically.

Facing the fierce competition in the industry, enterprise often implement the system of performance management to improve effectiveness and efficiency of its organization and thus increase the competitiveness of enterprises, but usually the performance management system is not correct or an unfair situation, it not only failed to improve organizational performance to reduce the staff's performance and but also even affect the employees in the original values, the effectiveness of human resources management has had a negative impact. This study focuses on the individual reward and punishment of the performance management’s motivators and analyzes the difference of the behavior difference between the same employees and the performance of the organization and the performance analysis of the organizational performance. Through the activities to understand the possible reaction of the staff, the effectiveness and efficiency of the direct impact of the degree are able to help the enterprise in the future to set the organizational performance of a practical basis for reference. This study takes the daily personal performance of employees to continuously sum up to the end of the month as a personal performance of the monthly statistical methods, with daily personal performance to assess the more accurate performance evaluation results, and through the integration of personal performance and efficiency of the statistical information, it enables employees to have a direct and substantial feedback every month. Finally, verify that whether the organization in the implementation of performance appraisal or not, the verification of the production performance and production quality are directly related to the impact and extent of its impact. The very study was conducted on the basis of positive and negative behavior-oriented factors in the implementation of individual performance management and incentive management. And all the members of the department of the self-service case company were the subjects of the experiment. The results show that the implementation of performance evaluation has a significant impact on the performance of organizational performance, under the performance management to strengthen the management of the production quality, it has a significant impact on the staff at the same time, the results of performance evaluation and monthly direct impact on compensation under the reward and punishment system Has a significant impact on self-demand responsibility. Finally, this study discusses the results of the study and puts forward some feasible suggestions for the follow-up study and practical management.

The following Master Thesis was developed with the intention of providing recommendation to global companies on how to organize coordination processes between headquarters and subsidiaries. Companies that have acquired their subsidiaries without coordination strategies often act as loosely organized corporate systems consisting of single operation plants and can miss out on potential synergies. Therefore, theories about coordination and communication structures are presented in order to investigate potential weaknesses in these type of corporations. Insight gathered from interviews with ten management representatives from a globally operated company highlighted the reality of such issues. To tackle these issues, eight major recommendations are proposed in order to foster coordination within the corporation. First, an employee exchange program between the different affiliates would increase knowledge sharing. Second, guideline processes should be implemented. The third recommendation is that communication processes between subsidiaries and headquarters could be enhanced by using the HR departments as the primary communication facilitators. Furthermore, video messages from the CEO to all subsidiaries encourages the commitment to the corporate identity. During General Manager meetings, action plans must be formalized in order to transform strategy into action processes. Enforcing the utilization of the Intranet in order to enhance knowledge-sharing between the individual entities is recommended, and finally, the internal newsletter (Quicknews) should provide brief but informative content, and should be issued more often. This thesis has implications for all businesses that acquired previously independently-operated subsidiaries. It investigates potential issues in corporations with weak ties to their subsidiaries and lists remedies to create synergies by focusing more on coordination and communication processes and their structures.

Dissertation presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Information Management, specialization in Information Systems and Technologies ManagementLiving in the technological era, a successful company nowadays is the company that integrates Information Technology (IT) with its business. Otherwise, it might face a huge risk of not being able to survive in today’s market against the huge competition that is highly influenced by IT. However, integrating IT with business is not so simple due to several factors, namely: the available resources, choosing the right solution, top management support, time constraints, and finally achieving the proper user training and adoption. It is obviously not so wise to keep on waiting until all these obstacles are solved when there is a possibility of using some of the available resources such as Microsoft Office tools that might ease several processes of the business until the needed system is implemented and used. In a supply chain, as a supplier or a manufacturer, production usually follows a production plan that is typically created by the supply planning department. A production plan relies on a demand forecast, whereas a demand forecast usually relies on historical data, but the market demand changes and a forecast does not always match the demand, so whenever there is a change in the forecast, production plans are updated accordingly (Graves, 2011). Therefore, if we are looking to optimize the supply chain, it is necessary to build a strong relationship between the supply chain partners because their collaboration becomes vital in such a scenario. This collaboration means that the partners of the supply chain must share their information with each other (Groznik & Maslaric, 2012). Such information can be about the inventory stock levels of the customer towards the supplier which helps in optimizing the Reorder Level that is defined as “the point at which the company will reorder stock” (Meng, 2006), resulting in creating more successful production plans that matches the market demand. However, these processes can hardly be done and managed manually, theyactually require the help of an IT system that is integrated with the supply chain for achieving the expected results. Aligning IT with the supply chain and using e-business to manage the relationship between suppliers and customers can lower costs, this is due to the fact that IT can contribute in supporting the collaboration and coordination through an easy way of information sharing between the partners of the supply chain (Auramo, Kauremaa, & Tanskanen, 2005). Moreover, using IT in a supply chain does not necessarily need to be costly or difficult to use; insteadspreadsheets for instance can be used for Inventory Planning that is defined as “figuring out what your inventory should be (not counting what you have)” (Estep, 2012). Even though using spreadsheet tools such as Microsoft Office tools does not require purchasing an IT system, it is still considered a type of integrating IT with a business process that can significantly improve the supply chain.
