World Class Manufacturing

The paper deals with the implementation of the WCM (World Class Manufacturing) model. By implementing the WCM, it is possible to reduce costs in manufacturing operations by removing elements that does not bring added value, or generate losses, waste or even lead to accidents and errors. WCM as a management model includes its own methods and tools that enable the company to achieve profit and a competitive advantage based on the principle of "producing the highest quality products at low prices". The WCM model is based on four concepts to achieve zero waste, zero accidents, zero failures and zero stocks. A prerequisite for the development of the WCM model is the improvement of the company's organizational system in order to achieve a global level of competitiveness.

University Expansion

This chapter describes the multi-dimensional expansion of the university, focusing especially on its accumulating numbers and global diffusion. It stresses the transcendence and universalism of the university at the global level. It also analyzes how university expansion is expected to occur earlier and more fully in the global core than in the global periphery, in democracies than in dictatorships, in the natural sciences than in the social sciences or humanities, and in world-class research universities more than local teaching colleges. The chapter highlights the university as a global institution and the global knowledge society that arises upon it. It examines the spread of universities around the world and studies local instances of a general model that is a central point to sociological neo-institutional theory.

World Class Manufacturing

In the last decade, technological progress has profoundly influenced the industrial world and all industrial sectors have been confronted with a change in technological paradigms. In such a context, this study aims to analyze the synergies between the technological world of Industry 4.0 and the purely organizational and managerial domain of World Class Manufacturing, a model of Operational Excellence. The objective is relating the driving dimensions of the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) system to the technological macrocategories of Industry 4.0: this would allow the identification of which technological solution to leverage on, aiming at optimization in a given World Class Manufacturing pillar. The result is a “WCM-I4.0 matrix”: a proposal to reconcile, exploit and trace the relations between the two complex concepts. The WCM-I4.0 matrix includes, by now, 100 Industry 4.0 technologies that best suits with the World Class Manufacturing pillars.

Majority of research into the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) has taken a universalistic approach and has developed general models covering all aspects of manufacturing management. Whilst there has been some research that suggests that appropriate best practice procedures are contingent upon company type, none of this research has tried to develop a detailed WCM model for the make to order (MTO) sector. Given the complex nature of the MTO sector, it could be argued that it is necessary to build a WCM model for the MTO sector initially.

The Impact

In asset management, the impact of national branding is linked with the capital leverage and the development of resilient and sustain business. Therefore, national branding impacts essential project financing, mainly acting as a driver of interest premium for private market invested capitals. The key objective of this chapter is to present the linkage of national branding with the assets development in critical infrastructures, distribution systems, and large assets such those in transport and energy sector. Adopting a system of system approach, the key areas of the added value to critical infrastructure and assets are presented, and the methodology framework to assess the impact of national branding on assets is depicted. By examples and references to case studies, the need is illustrated to consciously develop world-class brands as part of the overall economic growth and development on a regional scale.

The World

The development of the Toyota Production System (TPS) based on principles of lean technology has especially impressed numerous manufacturers around the world. It attaches remarkable importance to reducing and then eliminating waste and focusing on added-value activities. Lean technology is growing in important and scope because they help companies become more competitive and streamlined at a time when competitive and cost reduction pressures have intensified. Accordingly, a studied furniture company intends to transform its shop floor first to lean system. It is really an interesting and practical case study, so this paper presents an implementation of lean technology in an in-plant manufacturing system through a systematic way, step by step. It could be considered as a reference of an implementation of the lean technology.
