Abstract. Tbe conflict between the objectives for logistic efficiency and storage costs largely influences inventory management. Tbe positioning in this tension field poses achallenge to decision makers. Tbe Logistic Storage Analysis (LSA) is an industry proven control model used to dimension stock within this field of tension. To this end, the LSA offers a variety of tools, derived from Logistic Operating Curves, for aggregating and visualizing data and is thus an ideal foundation and starting point for the Enterprise Information System (EIS) currently being developed.
In order to thrive in global markets, enterprises have to distinguish themselves from their competitors not only by manufacturing high quality products at low costs, but also with superior logistic perfomiance. Logistic Operating Curves (LOG) can be applied to facilitate this as well as to derive strategic measures. This will be demonstrated based on the example of the German forging industry.
Abstract. Gentelligent~ Parts are components that function as storage mediums. They can record information, save it, process it and communicate it. Due to these characteristics, Gentelligent@ Parts can serve as deccntralized Enterprise Information System (EIS). It follows that along the product's evolutionary process and during the utilization phase extensive potential for improving the logistic and technical processes results. This article provides insight into both the principle of Gentelligent~ Parts as weil as the corresponding data structure and targcted process improvements.
Abstract:Nowadays, companies have to achieve a high logistics performance combined with low costs and high quality. Conventional, resource-oriented production planning and control (PPC) is unable to meet these demands. Both research publications and industrial projects show that logistics controlling based on logistics principles is an effective instrument for improving PPC. A newly developed controlling concept that increases the quality of production planning and control in a significant way is presented in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
