Performance Evaluation
This book examines performance evaluation in the context of assessing the non-financial outcomes of human activities. The topic is particularly relevant when economic, environmental or social performance has to be evaluated, e.g. the efficiency of actions and the lifecycles of products. The authors combine multi-criteria decision-making and production theories to develop a theoretical and methodological foundation for performance evaluation. They also demonstrate the typical pitfalls that are hindering the implementation of contemporary methods in practice. Special emphasis is placed on efficiency measurement with data envelopment analysis (DEA), and on data aggregation in life cycle assessment (LCA).
Supply Chain Management and Reverse Logistics
The world of logistics has considerably changed due to globalization, modern information technology, and especially increasing ecological awareness. Large Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems are developing to global logistic networks. This book reflects major trends of the recent decade in SCM and, additionally, presents ideas and visions for logistic networks of the 21st century. Among the various aspects of SCM, emphasis is placed on reverse logistics: closing the loop of a supply chain by integrating waste materials into logistic management decisions.
Simulation-based Optimization of Energy Efficiency in Production
The importance of the energy and commodity markets has steadily increased since the first oil crisis. The sustained use of energy and other resources has become a basic requirement for a company to competitively perform on the market. The modeling, analysis and assessment of dynamic production processes is often performed using simulation software. While existing approaches mainly focus on the consideration of resource consumption variables based on metrologically collected data on operating states, the aim of this work is to depict the energy consumption of production plants through the utilization of a continuous simulation approach in combination with a discrete approach for the modeling of material flows and supporting logistic processes. The complex interactions between the material flow and the energy usage in production can thus be simulated closer to reality, especially the depiction of energy consumption peaks becomes possible. An essential step towards reducing energy consumption in production is the optimization of the energy use of non-value-adding production phases.
Investment and Liquidity Constraints
Based on a unique database of German firms, the Deutsche Bundesbank's Corporate Balance Sheet Statistics, Andreas Behr explores the link between financial factors and a firm's investment decision within the framework of the Q-theory of investment.
Nachhaltiges Entscheiden
Ein renommierter Expertenkreis aus Kolleginnen und Kollegen untermauert in dieser Festschrift zum 65. Geburtstag von Prof. Dr. Harald Dyckhoff die große Relevanz der von ihm bearbeiteten Forschungsthemen und diesbezüglicher Erkenntnisse. Die Beiträge folgen seiner multiperspektivischen, theoriegestützten Herangehensweise und fokussieren u. a. Fragen des Nachhaltigkeitsmanagements. Weitere Analysegegenstände sind die Neukonzeption der Produktionstheorie, die entscheidungstheoretische Durchdringung des Controllings und der Performancemessung sowie die Optimierung von (Closed Loop) Supply Chains.
Die räumliche Differenzierung betrieblicher Innovationsaktivitäten
Matthias Christian Freund untersucht bestehende wirtschaftsgeographische, volks- und betriebswirtschaftliche Erklärungs- und Gestaltungsansätze und entwickelt daraus ein mehrstufiges produktionstheoretisches Modell zur Erklärung der subnationalen Differenzierung betrieblicher Innovationsaktivitäten, welches unter Anwendung raumökonometrischer Verfahren empirisch überprüft wird.
Research Methodologies in Supply Chain Management
For reseach in all subjects and among different philisopical paradigms, research methodologies form one of the key issues to rely on. This volume brings a series of papers together, which present different research methodologies as applied in supply chain management. This comprises review oriented papers that look at what kind of methodologies have been applied, as well as methodological papers discussing new developments needed to successfully conduct research in supply chain management. The third group is made up of applications of the respective methodologies, which serve as examples on how the different methodological approaches can be applied. All papers have undergone a review process ...
Die Pfarrei als Dienstleistungsorganisation
Die Pfarrei stellt den kirchenrechtlich-lehramtlichen 'Normalfall' katholischer Basisstruktur dar. Ihr Normcharakter ist allerdings seit geraumer Zeit erheblich in die Krise geraten. Gleichzeitig begegnen in der Praxis vermehrt Initiativen, die Menschen nicht in klassische Gemeindekontexte integrieren wollen, sondern pastorale Gelegenheiten mit hoher situativ-biografischer Passung als Dienstleistungen anbieten. Der vorliegende Band denkt beide Entwicklungen zusammen. Er prüft den gesellschaftlich attraktiven Dienstleistungsgedanken auf seine Eignung, als eine neue, kraftvolle konzeptionelle Leitidee für die Pfarrei zu fungieren – und operiert dazu auf dem Grenzgebiet zwischen Theologie, Dienstleistungstheorie, Managementlehre und Organisationssoziologie.
Sustainable Manufacturing
This edited volume presents the research results of the Collaborative Research Center 1026 “Sustainable manufacturing - shaping global value creation”. The book aims at providing a reference guide of sustainable manufacturing for researchers, describing methodologies for development of sustainable manufacturing solutions. The volume is structured in four chapters covering the following topics: sustainable manufacturing technology, sustainable product development, sustainable value creation networks and systematic change towards sustainable manufacturing. The target audience comprises both researchers and practitioners in the field of sustainable manufacturing, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.
