“…It is consistent with their reactive approach. In other words, the ability to adapt to customer needs in terms of flexibility, quality, and OTD is essential to be competitive in MTO contexts [1,44] There are clear parallels in multi-projects and MTO, especially considering the difficulties in managing resources for simultaneous activities.

Competitive Improvement through Integrated Management of Sales and Operations

et al. 2022

Several authors agree on the importance of integrating sales and operations (S & OP) when it comes to improving the management of organisations. Thus, the relationship between S & OP can be critical from a competitive point of view, and therefore strategic. However, most of the literature on this topic focuses on the field of repetitive manufacturing. Consequently, this work aims to enhance the scarce literature related to S & OP in organisations that produce make-to-order (MTO). The present study is an analysis of cases of two industrial companies managed according to the theory of constraints. In both cases, the relationship between sales and operations was initially poor. Their approaches were mainly founded on their experience and intuition, as well as on simple data. The development of a new approach, integrating S & OP, has demonstrated the potential advantages of integrated management. As a result, we have identified some aspects of interest from a managerial perspective. Furthermore, we consider the findings of this study to be relevant to improving the competitiveness of this kind of organisation.

“…Therefore, it helps in identifying potential bottlenecks and weak areas and in creating trust in the new system among operators and the management (Welgama and Mills 1995). Just-in-time modelling usually focuses on the link between changes in different production factors and the corresponding production performance measures (Sultana and Ahmed 2014).…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the body of literature on lean published by the International Journal of Production Research (IJPR), which has been interested in the subject since its dawn. This review adopted a dynamic and quantitative bibliometric method composed of the keywords co-occurrence network and keywords burst detection. The analyses performed on keywords co-occurrence networks highlighted how research in IJPR has addressed research on lean over time and allowed a comparison with the consolidated research streams in literature. The burst detection completed the analysis highlighting the trends and most recent research areas characterising IJPR publications. The outcomes of this study reflected the evergreen relevance of lean; indeed, the latest research trajectories identified in IJPR stressed its link with the increasingly topical issues concerning industry 4.0, sustainability and remanufacturing. The analysis recognised in 'lean Six Sigma', and specifically in its support to the service sector, an under-considered topic, hence a scope that offers room for further study, in accordance with IJPR objectives.

“…Make-to-order (MTO) companies are increasingly sensitized with concepts from other industries, such as flexibility, quality and the ability to adapt to consumer demand (Sultana & Ahmed, 2014). Customers demand more variety and more reliable products, as well as shorter delivery times (Romagnoli, 2015;Borreguero-Sanchidrian, Pulido, Garcia-Sanchez & Ortega-Mier, 2018).…”

Purpose: This study is focused on integrating a strategic perspective for bottleneck selection and exploitation according to the DBR methodology. The researchers developed a systematic process of four steps for the implementation of the first two steps of TOC-DBR in Make-to-Order production systems. This process was derived from the seminal work from Goldratt, introduced key insights from Resource Based View (RBV) and Practice Based View (PBV) strategic perspectives and included original contributions from the authors in understanding what purpose should be fulfilled, what decisions should be made and how the four steps should be applied.Design/methodology/approach: Given the practical nature of the research project, action research (AR) is an appropriate methodological approach, since AR aims to contribute to academic research while helping solve real-world problems.Findings: The proposed systematic process has been successfully tested in the field on a Make To Order case company. Thus, it has been answered the research question regarding systematically selecting a bottleneck and exploiting it to enhance the competitive advantage/firm performance. In fact, the new way of selecting and exploiting its bottleneck improved the results of the company, in particular business turnover and profitability. Additionally, the research process complied with the necessary criteria to assure the research quality required for AR.Originality/value: The key contributions within the systematic process (on Make-to-Order companies) are two: (1) the criteria to select the bottleneck, far beyond a load versus capacity perspective (i.e., providing a strategic perspective that was inspired by the main concepts from the Resource Based View regarding the contribution of strategic resources to sustain competitive position) and (2) the detailed discussion on how to exploit the bottleneck, which was aligned with the Practice Based View and recognised that practices could also provide superior performance to organisations.
