“…In addition, and more importantly for strategy, these technologies provide gains in flexibility that allow firms to cope better with environmental change and uncertainty (Naik and Chakravarty, 1992;Hofmann and Orr, 2005). Furthermore, technology adoption can trigger an interactive learning process that helps a firm to develop its learning and distinctive competences (Pandza et al, 2005;Sohal et al, 2006).…”

Service innovation in manufacturing firms: Evidence from Spain

a b s t r a c tThe ways in which manufacturing firms come to offer services to customers servitisation or servicisation are attracting considerable attention. This paper examines an innovation survey of Spanish firms in order to investigate one aspect of this phenomenon: the introduction of new or improved services by manufacturers. Specifically, the paper analyses the determinants of service innovations in manufacturers and determines whether they differ from those of product or process innovations in these same firms. The study finds that almost 20 percent of the firms in the sample have introduced such services in the recent past and that important differences exist between service and product (goods) innovations, with service innovations being particularly related to human resource development and closer links to customers. This suggests that service innovation by manufacturers has much in common with the innovation patterns detected in service sector firms. Intriguing differences across manufacturing sectors are also noted, with the lowest and highest tech sectors reporting more service innovations than the medium tech sectors.

“…Arguably these models emphasize quantitative, financial analysis but fail to capture many of the 'intangible' benefits that should flow from AMT investments such as greater manufacturing flexibility, improved product quality and better employee morale (see for example, Abdel-Kader, 1997;Chen & Small, 1996;Dugdale & Jones, 1995;Accola, 1994;Cheung, 1993;Lavelle & Liggett, 1992;Naik & Chakravarty, 1992;Azzone et al, 1992;Rayburn, 1989;Park & Son, 1988;Srinivasan & Millen, 1986;Kaplan, 1986;ACARD, 1983;Knott & Getto, 1982).…”

Evaluating Investments in Advanced Manufacturing Technology: A Fuzzy Set Theory Approach

In this paper, a model for the evaluation of investments in advanced manufacturing technology is developed. Many authors have called for an integration of financial and non-financial factors in such evaluations, and this paper demonstrates that it is conceptually possible to do this using the mathematics of the analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy set theory. The development of the model has certain distinguishing features. First, it is based on a conceptual framework that combines the three dimensions of risk, financial return and non-financial factors. The empirical basis for this has been investigated and previously reported by the authors. Second, models previously developed and reported in the literature are shown to suffer from certain flaws relating to the use of linguistic scales, the ranking of fuzzy performance indicators and partiality in the treatment of investment decision variables. These issues are addressed through the development of simpler linguistic scales based on the analytic hierarchy, a revised procedure for ranking fuzzy numbers and an attempt to build a comprehensive model through the three dimensions described above. Triangular fuzzy numbers are used throughout in order to make the mathematics tractable and relatively easy to understand, and to facilitate presentation of a worked example. However, so that the reader is not misled, attention is drawn to some of the complexities in fuzzy arithmetic, especially the important distinction between subtraction/division and deconvolution of fuzzy numbers.

Globalization has put fierce competition for manufacturing managers in terms of flexibility, smaller lead times, competitive costs, etc. To attain these capabilities, manufacturing managers are taking heedless decisions for investing in advanced manufacturing technologies, without measuring their actual effectiveness for their organisations. There is a need to measure the effectiveness of manufacturing systems to make better future policies and investment planning. This paper provides a comprehensive bibliography on the techniques and their rationale in the effectiveness measurement of advanced manufacturing systems. The paper cites 265 articles from a variety of published sources. The list contains published research mainly from 1990 to 2012 and a selected published work prior to 1990.
