“…The simulation software ARENA (Kellton 2004) was used to represent the manufacturing of seven different end-products (see catalogue in Figure 4), in a five-machine job shop, under an MRP-based schedule (that is, when an order is received, it is released in such way that operations are synchronised with the production calendar). The products' catalogue and the shop floor operative conditions are based on Company ABC from Martinez-Olvera (2008b). Some simplifying assumptions used to build the model were:…”

The current global competition requires companies to follow a demand driven, product-oriented manufacturing approach, on which manufacturing complexity increases as a result of product configuration. Even though different manufacturing complexity measures have been developed, none of them seem to notice the blocking effect a product's BOM imposes on the process flow. The main original contribution of this paper is the development of an entropic formulation to address this last issue. Its validity and usefulness is put to the test via a discrete-event simulation study of a job shop. Our findings show that the entropic formulation act as a fairly good trend indicator of the system's performance parameters increase/decrease. Future research will focus on developing correcting factors so the entropic formulation can be used as an estimator of the final values.

“…Applying automotive-related case studies to the cascade use methodology supports the evaluation of the proposed extension of the management of PLCs; the case-based evaluation is similar to [1], who make use of settings as revelatory cases. Further examples in related domains for the use of cases as a means to evaluate new methodologies are [41,42]. Similar to [1], the cases have a revelatory character and represent one open-loop (tires) and one closed-loop (suspension control arms) system.…”

This paper explores the challenges related to the End-Of-Life phase of products and circular systems of reuse and recycling within the commonly established frameworks of product lifecycles. Typically, Original Equipment Manufacturer-centric supply chain perspectives neglect the complexity at the End-Of-Life where many third-parties are involved in reuse and recycling activities. Based on a review of product lifecycle and related recycling literature, this study proposes the application of 'cascades', a term originally coined within the biomass domain. We propose and subsequently apply the 'cascade use methodology' and identify additional and value-adding End-Of-Life solutions for products and materials. The adoption of cascade utilization into product lifecycles is analyzed and critically discussed using case studies from independent remanufacturing and tire recycling, focusing on the End-Of-Life while excluding business models as renting or sharing. Although theoretically feasible, we argue that the practical adoption of 'cascade use' deserves more attention from researchers and practitioners in order to become an integral part of the comprehensive management of product lifecycles.

“…The process of merging distinct green-field operational areas into the supply chain area, creates an urgency to integrate the information and physical flow into relationships that link these areas and fosters 'trust and commitment' (TC) with supply chain partners (Bozarth et al, 2009). Pathak et al (2007) designed a set of principles based on TC, however, the principles would benefit from being tested with case study, in a similar way that other frameworks are field-tested (Perez-Franco et al, 2010, Narasimhan et al, 2008, Martínez-Olvera, 2008, Martínez-Olvera and Shunk, 2006. In addition, these frameworks would benefit from criteria to evaluate and measure performance of integrating supply chain participants into a 'networked organisation' (NO) (Sukati et al, 2012).…”

“…» Sixth principle: the supply chain engineering relies on the integrated design and the design is the based on the external architecture, but while the architecture is influenced, it is not determined by the integrated design (Nikulin et al 2013, Sukati et al, 2012, Inkpen and Choudhury, 1995. The design represent a set of ideas incorporated in the engineering that; supplement, assist and enable the architecture (Melnyk et al 2013, Perez-Franco et al, 2010, Martínez-Olvera, 2008, Schnetzler et al, 2007, Martínez-Olvera and Shunk, 2006. The next step in interpreting and applying the taxonomic scheme (Table 1), was to design a conceptual framework diagram identifying the gaps in literature on engineering a green-field integration strategy (Figure 1).…”

Supply chain engineering requires a design that possesses the flexibility of a complex adaptive system, consisting of interlinking architecture, with external dimensions and system germane internal elements. The aim of this paper is to critically analyse the key supply chain concepts and approaches, to assess the fit between the research literature and the practical issues of supply chain architecture, design and engineering. The objective is to develop a methodology for strategy engineering, which could be used by practitioners when integrating supply chain architecture and design. Taxonomic scheme is applied to consider criteria for strategy architecture, hierarchical strategy integration design, strategy engineering, and integration of supply chain as a conceptual system. The results from this paper derived with the findings that the relationship between supply chain architecture, design and engineering is weak, and challenges remain in the process of adapting and aligning operations. This paper derived with a novel approach for addressing these obstacles, through a conceptual framework diagram and a new methodology, based on the taxonomic scheme. The novelty that derives from this paper is an engineering design methodology for integrating supply chain architecture and design, with criteria that enable decomposing and building a green-field (new and non-existent) supply chain as a system. The taxonomic scheme revealed a number of tools and mechanism, which enabled the development of a new methodology for engineering integrated architecture and design. The review derived with improvements to current and existing theories for analysing interdependencies within and between their individual contexts. This issue is addressed with a hierarchical method for network design, applied for building and combining the integration criteria. The resulting methodology is field tested through a case study with the slate mining industry in North Wales.
