Purpose The purpose of the paper is to analyse empirically causal relationships between quality management, service and business success in German logistics companies. Design/methodology/approach develops a measurement instrument by combining conceptual approaches from marketing with indicators operations management. This measure verified through factor analysis on sample 229 providers. Relationships quality, management are investigated structural equation model. Findings results support...
Abstract Summary: The Quest for Orthologs (QfO) is an open collaboration framework experts in comparative phylogenomics and related research areas who have interest highly accurate orthology predictions their applications. We here report highlights discussion points from the QfO meeting 2015 held Barcelona. Achievements recent years established a basis to support developments improved prediction explore new approaches. Central effort proper benchmarking of methods services, as well design...
The paper presents the results of studies on effects shooting composite materials produced by pressure infiltration with EN AW-7075 alloy as a matrix and reinforcement in form preforms made α-Al2O3 particles. Composite were two contents (i.e., 30% 40% vol. particles). composites 12 mm thick plates subjected to impact loads from 7.62 × 39 FMJ M43 projectile fired Kalashnikov. samples different strengthening particles detailed microscopic examination determine mechanism destruction. effect...
Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes are becoming more and important for production of parts with increasing geometrical complexity functionality. However, to draw on the full potential AM technologies, alloys that exploit process inherent particularities such as extremely high cooling rates (ca. 10 6 K/s) have be developed. One most AM-processes is Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), a batch-wise process. This complicates experimental alloy development increases use powder resources since only...
In this paper a new model is presented for the evaluation of variety-induced costs in product-service systems. The consists descriptive visualizing variety within integrated system and an explanatory quantifying cost given PSS configuration. uses concept hierarchical feature tree, which visualizes multitude possible configurations derived from offered product service features. influence configuration on overall analyzed. Since cost-relevant interdependencies between features are furthermore...
Available data within today´s digitalized product life cycles comprise necessary information and is currently used in an unstructured way without sufficient description of interrelations. One major challenge managing complexity the tradeoff between standardization measures customized solutions. Therefore, a transparent overview effective controlling product-induced required could be supported by product-related analysis. This paper aims at development generic approach for data-based...
Analysis of data is currently being discussed in research and practice across a wide range areas, but mainly with focus on production. Improved availability not only relevant factor production, also other areas such as management product well service complexity. A major challenge this area the trade-off between standardization customer-specific solutions. However, variety products services leads to an increased complexity therefore increases costs. Transformation from supplier buyer market,...
Structure integrity or stress monitoring of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) components are popular applications Fiber-Bragg-Grating (FBG) sensor technology in the field Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).In aerospace industry, health safety-critical structures is particular interest.The use SHM one key factors to increase flight safety and reduce maintenance repair costs.Integrated FBGs for condition aircraft can significantly even replace costly by implementing ondemand maintenance, since...
Manufacturing companies face the challenge of providing customized products at competitive prices, while market is increasingly fragmented into small niches. Considering benefits and expenses product variants during configuration process a significant challenge. A holistic approach that considers costs related to new variant existing in company as well accompanying strategic customer-specific missing. Therefore, this paper presents methodology for determination "cost-benefit-optimal configuration".
In this paper a framework for the categorization of cost drivers in product-service systems is presented. Cost were derived literature research and allocated to corresponding categories within product or service domain. The significance identified was validated by an empirical study analyzing impact on organization. particularly focused companies providing portfolio that combined products services. Moreover, grouped into product-dominated portfolio, service-dominated balanced services with...
Kurzfassung Insbesondere in Business-to-Business (B2B)-Märkten finden sich produzierende Unternehmen der Herausforderung gegenübergestellt, dem Kunden eine wachsende Produktvielfalt bei immer kürzeren Releasezyklen anzubieten [1, 2]. Bestehende wissenschaftliche Ansätze des Variantenmanagements adressieren die Schnittstelle sowie Durchgängigkeit zwischen internen und externen Sichtweise aktuell nur unzureichend [1]. In diesem Beitrag wird daher Methode zur Optimierung bestehenden...
In the recent years, manufacturing companies extended their product portfolio with numerous variants, accompanied by an increase in process variants and indirect costs. Many are not aware of negative financial effects a large portfolio. Existing methods, such as activity-based costing or costing, focus on cause-related allocation costs to products. Additionally, approaches use separation complexity into initial running order determine more accurate differentiation cost effects. However,...
Nowadays, providing purchasable goods is not enough for a company to survive on the global market. Because of competitive prices and large range products available, companies need offer additional benefits their customers in order create unique selling point. They add services product portfolio clients opportunity acquire an service solution go with it. The offered fit customer's needs, resulting variety available services, great complexity decreasing transparency resource utilization. This...
The intelligent gathering, linkage and usage of data their real-time availability is a central part "Industrie 4.0". Moreover, the analysis currently being discussed in research practice across wide range areas, but mainly with focus on production. Improved not only relevant factor production, also other areas such as management product complexity. A major challenge this area tradeoff between standardization customer-specific solutions. For reason, transparency about complexity necessary...
