Some eleven years ago, the first IEEM was held in Singapore in 2007. We were encouraged by the support and enthusiasm of our colleagues in Asia and had organized the conference every year without fail since then. It has grown into a high-quality conference in the fields of industry engineering and engineering management, with participants from all corners of the world. For this we are very gratefully to authors, reviewers, participants, and also our co-hosts in Hong Kong, Macau, Bali, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur during this period. We can now confidently say that IEEM brings together the community’s most innovative thinkers and dynamic researchers from around the world to share the latest research findings in industrial engineering and engineering management. This year, IEEM2017 received nearly 1000 submissions from more than 50 countries. As in the past, each paper was sent to at least three reviewers. The acceptance decisions were based on at least two consistent recommendations, ensuring the quality and standard of the conference. These papers, organized around 20 topics, will be presented in oral and poster sessions. We are also privileged to have with us two distinguished speakers to deliver the keynote presentations: Professor Andy Neely, Pro-Vice Chancellor, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, will present on “Rethinking Operations Strategy in an Age of Digital Manufacturing”. Professor Benjamin W. Wah, Provost and Wei Lun Professor, Chinese University of Hong Kong, China, will discuss on “Using Kernels to Harness the Complexity of Big Data.” We are also honored to have Professor Jianjun Shi, editor-in-chief of IISE Transactions, who is also the Carolyn J. Stewart Chair and Professor at the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, to run a workshop on “How to Publish in Top Journals”. We would like to thank all authors and participants for their interests, contributions and continued support to IEEM. Lastly, we are also grateful to the technical program committee members and reviewers for their help in the review process. Have a fruitful conference, and we hope that you will enjoy the cultural experiences of Singapore.

Coube 14-01 Bauru, SP, 17033-360 - Brazil [email protected] Tel: 55 (14) 3103-6122 Sivio R. I. Pires Methodist University of Piracicaba (UNIMEP) Rodovia do Açúcar, Km 156 Piracicaba, SP, 13400-911 - Brazil [email protected] Tel.: 55 (14) 3124-1515 POMS 19th Annual Conference La Jolla, California, U.S.A. May 9 to May 12, 2008 Abstract This article aims to present the main contributions of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) to outbound (distribution) logistics. It presents the thesis defended by TOC, according to which the current ways of managing outbound logistics, based mainly on sales forecasts, batching policies, and indicators that do not privilege the supply chain performance as a whole, lead to difficulties in handling the trade-off between logistics (stock and transportation) costs and stock-outs levels. This conventional logistics management is labeled by TOC as pushed distribution, in contrast with its defended approach called pulled distribution. Considering the few scientific texts existing on the subject, this article claims to present, based on a theoretical research, the technical aspects of the approach suggested by TOC and discuss the assumptions it is based on, in an attempt to contribute to the expansion of outbound logistics knowledge and widen the analysis of supply chain management. Key words: Outbound logistics; distribution; pull system; Theory of Constraints. 1. Introduction Since its inception about two decades ago, the Theory of Constraints (TOC) has developed quickly and stood its ground as an important model for business management (WATSON et al, 2007).

The changes arising from 3d printing includes more than just new options for product design, but also shifts in the manufacturing eco-system and choices for restructuring competitive dynamics. We review many existing cases and developed a taxonomy capable of capturing the many areas of impact. The taxonomy draws on Pavitt’s identification of industry types, combined with Castellacci’s more recent service- manufacturing sectors which includes external sources and more open business models.

  • Using Theory of Constraints to Control Manufacturing Systems
    ering & ine M g a n n E a Panizzolo and Garengo l g , Ind Eng Manage 2013, 2:3 a i e r m t s e DOI: 10.4172/2169-0316.1000111 u n d t n I Industrial Engineering & Management ISSN: 2169-0316 Research Article Open Access Using Theory of Constraints to Control Manufacturing Systems: A Conceptual Model Roberto Panizzolo1* and Patrizia Garengo2 1Department of Management and Engineering, University of Padua, Italy 2Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Padua, Italy Abstract Since the Goldratt and Cox’s (1984) seminal study, Theory of Constrains has evolved from a simple production scheduling software into a management philosophy, with practices and principles spanning a multitude of operation management disciplines. A variety of studies has investigated how production control is carried out in a Theory of Constrains environment, but most of research available lacks in providing an overall vision of this issue. In order to contribute to this gap, using theoretical investigation and the empirical study of five case studies, this article compares the characteristics of TOC with those typical of three shop floor control systems, i.e. MRP, JIT and Daily Rate. As result, the research identifies an interpretative framework based on the distinguishing characteristics of Theory of Constrains. The framework supports the analysis of the nature and scope of these four systems by highlighting the main differences between them. Keywords: Operations management; Theory of constraints; Drum- differences are pertinent to the third level of the manufacturing buffer-rope; MRP; JIT; Daily rate planning and control system, the so-called production executive Introduction control or shop floor control sub-system.

  • Remaking Management: Between Global and Local Edited by Chris Smith, Brendan Mcsweeney and Robert Fitzgerald Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86151-9 - Remaking Management: Between Global and Local Edited by Chris Smith, Brendan McSweeney and Robert Fitzgerald Frontmatter More information Remaking Management Debates about the consequences for work practices posed by the rapidly growing transnationalisation of business have become increasingly central to management studies, sociology, political science, geography and other disciplines. Remaking Management brings together a range of international contributors from different sub-disciplines in management to examine current theories of change or continuity in relation to work practices, in the context of fashionable claims about unstoppable globalisation or immovable national business systems. It provides theoretical and empirical challenges to both of these explanations, rejecting an overemphasis on inevitable convergence and enduring divergence. The book reveals a mix of inter- national, national and organisational influences on workplace practice, providing a rich and wide-ranging resource for graduate students and academics concerned with how organisations are responding to an increasingly complex commercial environment.

  • Art and Visual Culture in Contemporary Beijing (1978-2012)
    Infrastructures of Critique: Art and Visual Culture in Contemporary Beijing (1978-2012) by Elizabeth Chamberlin Parke A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Elizabeth Chamberlin Parke 2016 Infrastructures of Critique: Art and Visual Culture in Contemporary Beijing (1978-2012) Elizabeth Chamberlin Parke Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation is a story about relationships between artists, their work, and the physical infrastructure of Beijing. I argue that infrastructure’s utilitarianism has relegated it to a category of nothing to see, and that this tautology effectively shrouds other possible interpretations. My findings establish counter-narratives and critiques of Beijing, a city at once an immerging global capital city, and an urban space fraught with competing ways of seeing, those crafted by the state and those of artists. Statecraft in this dissertation is conceptualized as both the art of managing building projects that function to control Beijing’s public spaces, harnessing the thing-power of infrastructure, and the enforcement of everyday rituals that surround Beijinger’s interactions with the city’s infrastructure. From the spectacular architecture built to signify China’s neoliberal approaches to globalized urban spaces, to micro-modifications in how citizens sort their recycling depicted on neighborhood bulletin boards, the visuals of Chinese statecraft saturate the urban landscape of Beijing. I advocate for heterogeneous ways of seeing of infrastructure that releases its from being solely a function of statecraft, to a constitutive part of the artistic practices of: Song Dong (宋冬 b.
