INTRODUCTION Design early phases. Dowlatshahi [4] has developed a Design For Logistics Product design is the creation of a synthesized solution model to integrate Logistics-related issues (plant location, that satisfies the needs. This usually involves the material management, storage, traffic, packaging, etc.) in consideration of various parameters and alternative the early phases of Product Design process.

Logistics Profile needs an entire structure for its use. Deployment Logistics Profile depends on the existence of a preliminary alternative design solution. Logistics Profile does make sense in a logical change, i.e., in the context supported by a suitable application structure. Its use requires a depth from the learning step to the interface. In our research, we consider an environment in which the integration of logistics is a goal during the projects of product design. Compared to literature, we use the systems engineering as well as a method that helps integration. III. SYSTEMS -ENGINEERING-BASED APPROACH In this paper, the integration methodology of logistics in the cooperative product design is described by integrating the concept of systems engineering. Our research can be considered as a continuity of Dowlatshahi [5] and Tetsu Koike works [7]. To control product design and its realization, while Figure 1.

There are 2 major ways of striving for such progressive goals: increase of sales indexes (e.g. quantity, margins, frequency) or operations optimization providing a company with additional free capital which may not only be treated as a profit but also re- invested stimulating growth. The key objective of the thesis was to develop a list of practi- cal solutions which can help improve company`s operations and efficiency. The imperfections and issues in the operations were examined and analyzed to improve efficiency and sustainability of the operations department. The research questions were “What are the requirements for a well working purchase planning processes?”; “What kind of challenges and benefits do current operations have?”; “What corrections should be made to reduce mistakes and bring cost efficiency?”. The research method used was qualitative method focusing rather on the meaning of the collected data than on the quantity. Thus, the interviews conducted were analyzed accord- ing to the vast theoretical foundation by implementation of various analysis methods such as brainstorming and SWOT-analysis.

  • How Integrated Is Integrated Logistics?
    11 South African Journal of Industrial Engineering Vol. 8, No.2, 1997 How integrated is integrated logistics? PJ Pretorius B.Eng (Industrial) CPIM MBA Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering University of Pretoria Description: A model is constructed from the necessary conditions derived from the definition of integrated logistic support that suggests how business logistics and logistics engineering have to co-exist and be integrated to achieve integrated logistics. Abstract: Industry and academia still have a major problem in grasping the extent and relationships of all functions involved in integrated logistics. This is because business logistics and logistics engineering developed separately, each with their own following, resulting in the two so-called different disciplines ignoring each other. By analysing the definition of integrated logistic support, it is possible to identify the necessary conditions for an integrated logistics model. From these necessary conditions, a model of the management functions and technical activities is constructed to suggest the purpose and place of all logistics functions to work in an integrated way towards the goal of the organisation. The model suggests that logistics engineering and business logistics are both required in the organisation and that it is of vital importance that these functions are executed in unison. This model is different to previous models in that it approaches logistics from the organisations viewpoint rather than from a logistics viewpoint. Keywords: Integrated logistics support, logistics engineering, operational logistics, business logistics. 1. Introduction The goal of any profit-seeking organisation is to make money (Goldratt, 1990:12). It is therefore necessary to approach all management and technical activities from this basic principle.

  • The Development of a Framework for an Integrated Logistics Support System Within a High Technology Industry in a Developing Country
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FRAMEWORK FOR AN INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SUPPORT SYSTEM WITHIN A HIGH TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY by KEITH RICHARD LAMBERT submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF BUSINESS LEADERSHIP at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER: DR M. M. MARSHALL March 2008 ABSTRACT Competitive and high-risk environments require complex high technology systems, which need to be supported and maintained over their respective life cycles. These systems often have a significant consequence of failure, and require complex management systems to achieve their operational objectives. Significant leadership and management challenges exist, not only in South Africa, but also in other developing countries, where systems may be utilised beyond the lifespan they were designed for and are susceptible to obsolescence. This study was conducted by following a structured process; the research consisted of three stages. The first stage dealt with the research problem, including the delimitations of the study. The second stage was further divided into three phases. The first phase deconstructed the appropriate literature, which included the interpretation of numerous definitions of logistics, integrated logistics support, and the integrated logistics support elements. In addition, the research was grounded in the fields of operations management, supply chain management and integrated logistics support. The second phase focused on the deconstruction of six case studies from four different high technology complex systems. From the analysis of the first two phases followed the third phase of research, which focused on the identification of areas requiring further research. Further research was conducted by means of a questionnaire, the results of which were analysed for variable dependency and variable association.

  • Logistics Engineering Curriculum Integrated Through Student Projects
    LOGISTICS ENGINEERING CURRICULUM INTEGRATED THROUGH STUDENT PROJECTS Paweł Pawlewski* and Zbigniew J. Pasek** * Faculty of Engineering Management, Poznan University of Technology, Strzelecka 11, 60-965 Poznan, Poland, Email: [email protected] ** Univeristy of Windsor, Canada, Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper describes an innovative curriculum developed for new Logistics Engineering degree programs at the Faculty of Engineering Management, Poznan University of Technology. The core of the program is based on a sequence of four major courses, which focus on the Product Development, Process Analysis and Optimization, Logistic Processes and Service Engineering. Each course is built around a practical team project. With the project effort as the background, the courses introduce students to key issues in global engineering competence, including collaboration and teamwork, work organization and management, engineering ethics, cross-cultural communication, critical thinking and problem solving, and integration strategies for design, manufacturing and marketing. Projects also introduce entrepreneurial components, as the teams have to develop their concepts in the context of a start-up company. The first course in the series, introduces 2nd year students to basic concepts of consumer product development. It covers the principles of design and innovation process, and also explains essential design tools, such as Quality Function Deployment and Pugh Matrices. It also reviews key manufacturing methods and systems. Students work in small teams to develop their own product ideas from initial concepts to a business plan for a start-up. The course is offered in English. The second course, offered to 3rd year students, introduces fundamental concepts related to industrial process analysis and improvement.
