Through analyzing the curve block features of irregular shape, spatio-temporal dual holding and virtual flow production, the general framework of curve block spatial scheduling was constructed. The scheduling method combined virtual flow style with spatial scheduling was proposed, and the mechanism by linking production order with spatial scheduling was formed, which could solve the production sequence problem. The spatial layout method for curve block was given by combining the collision test with optimal screen was given. The allocation method of human resource based on virtual flow style was obtained to realize workers transfer among dedicated work station. The instance of curve example was developed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":100314,"journal":{"name":"Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88344212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected on retailers’ expectations on four relevant dimensions of customer logistics service provided by manufacturers, as well as on their perceptions of logistics service performance of the typical supplier and the best supplier. The evolution of the gaps between retailers’ expectations and manufacturers’ perceived distribution performance was investigated, as well as a trend in terms of an increase or decrease in customer satisfaction with service provided by suppliers in such dimensions. Results indicate that retailers typically tend to be satisfied with the service provided by their suppliers. In addition, there may be an adjustment of distribution performance to expectations of retailers and to the provision, in some cases, of service above customer expectations.","PeriodicalId":100314,"journal":{"name":"Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems","volume":"61 1","pages":"664-676"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84678126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The managerial practices of the case company are analysed in relation to four general desired outcomes of a strategy process, and a process design is constructed as an example of good practice. Regarding strategy formation as a continuous part of the normal management process, the process design is proposed as a relevant alternative to the traditional discontinuous practice of strategy formation. The interplay between modes of strategy formation in different phases of the process is discussed, indicating the varying roles of managers.","PeriodicalId":100314,"journal":{"name":"Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems","volume":"15 1","pages":"677-685"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91191092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contrary to popular perceptions, the demise of home delivery grocers (or Internet grocers as they were known during the artificial boom period of 1997‐2000) was exaggerated. In fact, sales for grocery home delivery are currently at least 50 per cent higher than their “peak” in 2000. This article examines the operational challenges involved in offering this value‐added service to consumers and posits the argument that prior efforts (notably Webvan) failed in large part due to poor operational execution and poorly planned business models. Closes with some insights regarding the problems which must be addressed if this extended grocery channel is to become successful in the long run.","PeriodicalId":100314,"journal":{"name":"Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems","volume":"10 1","pages":"652-663"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88612382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
