Equation Modelling

In this paper we investigate the possible relationships among some optimization techniques used in Operations Management and the performance of SMEs that operate in the manufacturing sector. A model based on the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach is used to analyse a dataset of small and medium-sized Italian enterprises. The model is expressed by a system of simultaneous equations and is solved through regression analysis. Taking advantage of the contributions presented previously, we focus our research on the Italian economy, highlighting the importance of Operations Management practices, which are relevant drivers of these firms' performances.

The Impact

With the fast development of IoT technologies and the potential of real-time data gathering, allowing decision makers to take advantage of real-time visibility on their processes, the rise of Digital Twins (DT) has attracted several research interests. DT are among the highest technological trends for the near future and their evolution is expected to transform the face of several industries and applications and opens the door to a huge number of possibilities. However, DT concept application remains at a cradle stage and it is mainly restricted to the manufacturing sector. In fact, its true potential will be revealed in many other sectors. In this research paper, we aim to propose a DT prototype for instore daily operations management and test its impact on daily operations management performances. More specifically, for this specific research work, we focus the impact analysis of DT in the fitting rooms’ area.

Recent development of new technologies and data analytics has unleashed the so-called smart city (SC) movement, which has been transforming the ways that cities (and their services) operate. This movement is in line with the operations management (OM) community’s pursuit of innovative research questions, and part of our community has already started working on this exciting area of SC OM. In this article, we shall discuss (i) the potential contribution that OM can make to the SC movement, that is, how OM research may help inform discussion and decision making in the public and private sectors. In particular, the core principle of making cities smarter is in line with the OM literature. We then discuss (ii) how and why SC operations can be an interesting topic that possibly expands the scope and depth of OM theory, through drawing links to the existing and new streams of OM literature. Finally, we present (iii) a few promising research directions and examples, in domains such as energy, transportation (mobility), and retail.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to synthesise the extent to which lean implementation in healthcare has been studied in the literature since its inception a decade ago. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based upon a literature review of mostly academic articles published mainly in the fields of operations management and medicine. Findings The current state of the literature on lean healthcare implementation is primarily evaluative (benefits-oriented), descriptive (process-oriented) and rarely holistic (interaction of lean implementation and clinical practice). Originality/value This paper identifies further research directions for academics, and provides an overview of findings relevant to healthcare stakeholders interested in lean implementation.

Competence Management (CM) has been discussed in contemporary academic and practitioner literature as a managing tool of Core Competences. Most of the studies of CM deal with manufacturing sector and profit organizations. Very little is known about CM in services and almost nothing in not-for profit organization. No research report has yet been found in educational institutions. Although, CM is not only important in manufacturing and profit organizations but also important in non-profit, like educational institutions, in order to meet the required quality and competitiveness of 21st century's education. Thus, an attempt has been made in this research to study CM in the administration of one the top ranking University in a Nordic country. The result results reveal that competencies had been defined in individual, network and unit level, but lack of integration of a comprehensive CM framework unable the higher educational institution to achieve the benefits of core competence. Based on the empirical findings, some policy and research directions are given at the end of the research.  <br /> <br /><br />

School Curricula

The fields of Management Science (MS) and Operations Management (OM) have co-existed in business school curricula for over a half century. This paper examines five trends that point toward a bright future for Operations Management in the business curriculum. These trends include an increasing emphasis on global competition, the growth of the supply chain as a competitive weapon, more participation from the Operations function in formulating business strategies, the continued dominance of the service sector over the manufacturing sector in developed economies, and increasing demand for general management skills over technical skills for business school graduates. The de-emphasis on technical skills and the fact that MS techniques have been subsumed into other functional areas indicates that the future of Management Science in the business curriculum may not be as bright.

Safety literature is in agreement regarding the effective role safety-specific leadership plays in occupational safety but most of these studies are limited to Western/American context. The current study looks to fill this void by testing safety-specific leadership effectiveness in Pakistani context. Data were collected from 163 workers of manufacturing industry. The results confirmed that safety-specific leadership strengthens followers safety climate perceptions and thereby negatively affects occupational injuries. Practical implications, future research directions and limitations of the study are also discussed.
