Texto completoResumen
Le developpement de la culture de chavin et sa dissemination a travers le perou pendant le premier millenaire avant notre ere constituent le mouvement le plus significatif de cette periode de la prehistoire peruvienne. Un aspect essentiel de ce mouvement fut l'institutionnalisation d'une iconographie elaboree en tant que moyen de codifier, de fixer, et de transmettre des informations relatives au culte religieux de chavin. Cette etude aborde l'iconographie de chavin comme phenomene culturel et historique, prenant en consideration les donnees archeologiques du site, ainsi que celles du contexte general dans lequel cette culture prit forme et s'etendit. L'objet principal de cette etude reste cependant l'analyse de l'iconographie de chavin dans son acception la plus large. Cette analyse tient compte de parametres multiples, notamment la chronologie et la distribution geographique. Concretement, en procedant a partir des ensembles architecturaux des sculptures lithiques connues in situ, elle se developpe selon des criteres thematiques et stylistiques, et s'efforce de s'ouvrir sur le vaste probleme de la representation iconographique et de sa propre significationThe development of chavin culture and its dissemination throughout peru during the first millenium b. C. Constitute the most significant movement of this period of peruvian prehistory. An essential aspect of this movement was the institutionalization of an elaborate iconography as a means of coding, fixing, and transmitting information relative to the chavin religious cult. The present study addresses chavin iconography as a cultural and historical phenomenon, taking into consideration archeological data on the site, as well as those data about the general context in which this culture took form and spread. The main object of this study is however the analysis of chavin iconography in its broadest acceptation. This analysis takes account of multiple parameters, notably chronology and geographical distribution. Concretely, proceeding from architectural sets of lithic sculpture known in situ, it develops according to thematic and stylistic criteria, and endeavours to open into the vast problem of iconographic representation and its signification

Texto completoResumen
This book emerges from the conference Lenguas y sociedades en el antiguo Perú: hacia un enfoque interdisciplinario, a gathering of linguists, archaeologists and anthropologists at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú in August 2009. This chapter sets out first the raison d’être of our enterprise: why it seemed so important to foster a meeting of minds between these disciplines, to converge their disparate but complementary perspectives into a more coherent Andean prehistory.Next, it is asked how linguistics can inform us about prehistory at all, exploring some general methodological principles and how they might be applied specifically in the case of the Andes. The ‘traditional model’ for associating the linguistic and archaeological records in the Andes is then reviewed — but pointing also to various inherent infelicities, which duly call for a far-reaching, interdisciplinary reconsideration of the Andean past.Therefore we attempt to sum up the new state of the cross-disciplinary art in Andean prehistory, as collectively represented by the papers that emerged both from the Lima conference and from the symposium that preceded it, held at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at the University of Cambridge in September 2008. Progress and new perspectives are explored first on key individual questions. Who, for instance, were the Incas, and whence and when did they come to Cuzco? How and when did Quechua, too, reach Cuzco, as well as its furthest-flung outposts in north-west Argentina, Ecuador and northern Peru?Finally, the scope is broadened to overall scenarios for how the main Andean language families might correlate in time and space with the archaeological horizons that in principle might best account for their dispersals. Four basic hypotheses have emerged, whose respective strengths and weaknesses are assessed in turn: a traditional ‘Wari as Aymara’ model, revised and defended; alternative proposals of ‘Wari as both Aymara and Quechua’, a suggestion of ‘both Chavin and Wari as Quechua’; and the most radical new departure, ‘Wari as Quechua, Chavin as Aymara’.El presente volumen resulta del simposio "Lenguas y sociedades en el antiguo Perú: hacia un enfoque interdisciplinario", una reunión de lingüistas, arqueólogos y antropólogos realizada en la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú en agosto de 2009. La presente contribución expone primero la razón de ser de nuestra iniciativa: el por qué nos parecía tan importante promover un encuentro entre estas disciplinas, con el objeto de hacer converger sus perspectivas dispares —pero, por lo tanto, complementarias— para avanzar hacia una prehistoria andina más coherente.Seguidamente, preguntamos cómo es que la lingüística está en condiciones de proveernos datos sobre la prehistoria. Primero examinamos algunos principios metodológicos generales a tal fin, antes de examinar como estos se dejan aplicar mejor en el caso específico de los Andes. A continuación, pasamos revista al modelo tradicional de las supuestas asociaciones entre los registros lingüísticos y arqueológicos en la región, señalando al paso varios desaciertos inherentes, los mismos que claman por una reconsideración profunda e interdisciplinaria del pasado andino.Por lo tanto, este artículo prosigue con el propósito de resumir el nuevo estado interdisciplinario de la cuestión de la prehistoria andina, tal como lo representan los artículos que resultaron tanto del encuentro de Lima como del simposio que le precedió, llevado a cabo en el McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research de la University of Cambridge en septiembre de 2008. Se analizan, en primer lugar, los avances y nuevas perspectivas sobre algunos temas específicos, entre ellos: ¿quiénes fueron los incas, de donde procedían y cuando llegaron al Cuzco?, ¿cómo y cuándo alcanzó el quechua el Cuzco, así como sus más alejados puestos de avanzada en el noroeste de Argentina, Ecuador y el norte del Perú?Por último, ampliamos nuestro alcance a escenarios generales que buscan correlacionar, en el tiempo y el espacio, las principales familias lingüísticas de los Andes con los horizontes arqueológicos que, en principio, mejor podrían explicar sus dispersiones. Han surgido cuatro hipótesis básicas, cuyos respectivos puntos fuertes y débiles pasamos a evaluar: el modelo tradicional, ahora revisado y defendido, de "Wari como aimara"; y propuestas alternativas de Wari como aimara y quechua a la vez", "Chavín y Wari como quechua", y —más radical aún respecto al modelo tradicional— "Wari como quechua, Chavín como aimara".

Mesz, Lise. "Contribution à une redéfinition du « Formatif » péruvien : l’horizon Cupisnique-Chavín". Thesis, Paris 4, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA040206.
Texto completoResumen
Les premières civilisations péruviennes se sont épanouies pendant la période dite « formative » entre 2500 av. J.-C. et le début de notre ère. Les connaissances actuelles sur le Formatif et les cultures Cupisnique ou Chavín ont été largement influencées par les théories évolutionnistes et diffusionnistes héritées du XIXe siècle. Ce travail de recherche répond à la nécessité d’opérer une synthèse réactualisée de cette période mal connue et de redéfinir le premier horizon culturel communément appelé Chavín. D’une part, cette étude propose un cadre chronologique fondé sur la réévaluation systématique des séquences chrono-culturelles de l’ensemble des sites archéologiques occupés à cette époque. Elle établit une périodisation du Formatif et détermine les principaux groupes culturels qui caractérisent ses différentes étapes. D’autre part, ce travail apporte une réflexion épistémologique sur les concepts Cupisnique et Chavín. L’Horizon Chavín, traditionnellement défini comme le résultat de la diffusion stylistique de l’art religieux de Chavín de Huántar, est ici réinterprété au regard des données récentes de la recherche archéologique et d’une analyse approfondie des données chronologiques et culturelles des centres cérémoniels les plus importants. Cette étude précise enfin le rôle majeur que les sites de tradition culturelle Cupisnique et le temple de Chavín de Huántar ont joué dans l’élaboration et la mise en place de concepts religieux communs transcrits dans une écriture iconographique codifiéeEarly Peruvian civilisations were flourishing during the period called « Formative » between 2500 BC and the beginning of our era. The current knowledge of Formative and Cupisnique or Chavín cultures has been considerably influenced by evolutionist and diffusionist theories inherited from the nineteenth century. This research attempts to meet the necessity of realising an updated synthesis of this almost unknown period and to redefine the first cultural horizon usually called Chavín. On the one hand, this study proposes a chronological frame based on systematic revaluation of the chrono-cultural sequences of all the archaeological sites of this period. It sets out a chronology of the Formative cultures and determines the main cultural groups which characterise its different stages.On the other hand, this work offers an epistemological thought on Cupisnique and Chavín cultures. Chavín Horizon, traditionally defined as the result of the stylistic diffusion of Chavín de Huántar religious art is re-interpreted in the light of recent archaeological data collected in the main ceremonial centers. Finally, this dissertation makes clear the major role that Cupisnique sites and Chavín de Huántar temple have had in the creation and the development of shared religious concepts transcribed in a codified iconographic writing

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation is a formal and iconographic study of a distinctive engraved motif found on Cupisnique style vessels that were excavated in what is now northern Peru. The Cupisnique style was developed approximately between 1200 – 200 B.C.E., and was mainly centered in the Jequetepeque and the Chicama Valleys in the northern coastal region of Peru. This study includes an analysis of two ceramic vessels in the collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (henceforth VMFA). The purpose of this dissertation is to document and analyze the Cupisnique engraved head motifs and to argue that these motifs reflect the influence of early Formative Ecuador ceramics on the later coastal Cupisnique as well as on the highland Chavín style. In addition to the two VMFA vessels, this study documents and analyzes an additional one hundred seventy seven (177) Cupisnique ceramics vessels that were also engraved with head motifs. These belong to various museums and private collections in South and North America. This study also presents a catalog of all documented head motifs, including those captured on photographs and in original drawings. The Cupisnique head motifs are classified by individual elements, and iconographies of Cupisnique head motifs are presented based on the origin and influence of the motifs.

Konukcu, Selda. "A knowledge chain framework for construction supply chains". Thesis, Loughborough University, 2011. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/9155.
Texto completoResumen
Construction is a project-based industry and construction supply chains generally work with a unique product in every project. Commonly, project organizations are reconfigured for each project. This means that construction supply chains are characterised by various practices and disjointed relationships, with the result that construction supply chain actors generally have transient relationships rather than long term risk sharing partnerships. A consequence of this is the lack of trust between construction clients, designers, main contractors and suppliers. Because the construction supply chain works as a disparate collection of separate organisations rather than as a unified team, the supply chain suffers from lack of integration. Knowledge flow in construction supply chains are hindered due to the reasons such as inadequate adaptation to collaborative procurement type projects, inadequate collaboration between the downstream and upstream supply chain, lack of interoperability of the design tools, lack of well structured SCM process and lack of well developed knowledge management applications. These characteristics of the construction supply chains are the main reasons for its low efficiency and productivity in project delivery. There is a need for the development of appropriate systems to ensure the effective diffusion of knowledge such that each actor of the supply chain adds value to the project delivery process. This is expected to result in the creation of knowledge chains in construction. It is believed that construction supply chain management (SCM), when integrated with knowledge management (KM), can successfully address the major problems of the industry The main aim of this research was to develop a framework to transform construction supply chains into knowledge chains . To reach this aim, the research first provided an overview of practices and issues in SCM across a range of industry sectors including construction, aerospace, and automotive industries. It discusses research and developments in the field of SCM and KM in construction industry, the key SCM issues with a knowledge flow focus, and the best practices from other industries to improve the construction supply chains. Furthermore, the results of the company specific and project specific case studies conducted in aerospace and construction industry supply chains are presented. These results include the key SC problems, key issues related to knowledge flow and the presentation of knowledge requirements of each supply chain actor. Following the data analysis process, a framework to transform the construction supply chain into a knowledge chain taking full cognisance of both the technical and social aspects of KM was presented. The main purpose of the knowledge chain framework was to enable construction bid managers/project managers to plan and manage the project knowledge flow in the supply chain and organise activities, meetings and tasks to improve SCM and KM throughout the supply chain in an integrated procurement type (PFI) project life cycle. The knowledge chain framework was intended to depict the knowledge flow in the construction supply chain specifically, and to offer guidance for specific business processes to transform the supply chains into knowledge chains. Finally, this research focused on the evaluation of the framework through industry practitioners and researchers. An evaluation of the Framework was conducted via workshop followed by a questionnaire comprising industry experts. The findings indicated that adoption of the Framework in construction project lifecycle could contribute towards more efficient and effective management of knowledge flow, standardisation and integration of SCM and KM processes, better coordination and integration of the SC, improved consistency and visibility of the processes, and successful delivery of strategic projects. The overall research process contributed the construction research in many perspectives such as introduction of knowledge chain concept for construction supply chains; comparative analysis of the SCM practices in different industry sectors, identification of best practices for construction supply chains, better demonstration of the maturity level and critical factors of the SCM within the construction industry, demonstration of the KC framework which integrates the supply chain process and knowledge sharing within a single framework which covers all the recent trends in the construction industry like collaborative procurement route projects, creation of better integrated SCs, applications like off site construction and BIM where all supply chain management and knowledge management should take place.

Texto completoResumen
The concept of supply chain management has become an important issue for companies today in order to keep or gain competitive advantage. It is all about managing your supply chain to reach the highest possible efficiency and increase profits through cooperation with your supply chain partners. A supply chain is however vulnerable to several threats, or risks, that decreases the overall efficiency and influences the business performance.
The purpose of this thesis is to identify the internal risks that can be found in a basic internal supply chain in order to make an assessment of their manageability and impact using a specific case. To do this a case study of Thule Trailers AB in Jönköping was conducted. Thule Trailers AB chose to offshore their main production of components to Poland in 2003, so the company’s internal supply chain was expanded outside of Sweden. This research looks closer at the interactions between Thule Trailers AB in Jönköping and their internal supplier plant in Poland. The research was conducted using a qualitative method with several interviews with representatives in both Jönköping and Poland, during which a number of internal risks were identified in Thule Trailers AB in Jönköpings’ internal supply chain.
The conclusions made are that the internal risks identified, i.e. communication risks, quality risks etc, might not have as great an influence on the company as would external risks, they can however in comparison be managed. The findings suggest that the issues with e.g. quality and delivery basically come down to insufficient communication inside the internal supply chain.
Another conclusion that could be drawn is that since the internal risks in the internal supply chain all are ripple effects, its source is almost always external, which implies that their avoidance is difficult. At least they cannot be eliminated completely by the company itself, it needs to be done in cooperation with the company’s external supply chain partners.
There is potential to solve most of the internal problems that can be managed internally if both parties are prepared to put some real effort into reducing the risk sources. The risks are manageable and need to be managed to reduce the impact it has for the customer and end customer in turn. The authors of this thesis believe that for a company to be successful, the end customer has to be prioritized in almost every situation, and this goes for all of the members in the supply chain, especially the internal ones.

Gelashvili, Elene y Pia Huxel. "Use of Lean and Agile Commercial Supply Chain Practices in Humanitarian Supply Chains". Thesis, Umeå universitet, Företagsekonomi, 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-98109.
Texto completoResumen
In humanitarian aid organisations, due to increasing pressure from donors, there is an urge to professionalise and optimise the way supply chains are managed. In the commercial companies there is strong evidence that focusing more on supply chain management can improve efficiency and lead to major cost savings which makes it very interesting for humanitarian aid organisations to adopt practices from the commercial world. The concepts of agility and leanness are said to prepare organisations to respond quickly to fluctuating customer demand (agility) and to increase efficiency through waste elimination and process optimisation (leanness), two properties which are required by humanitarian and commercial organisations likewise. In the commercial context agility and leanness are often combined as a le-agile strategy which is also applicable for humanitarian supply chains where the distinct humanitarian supply chain stages – preparedness, response, and reconstruction – follow different objectives and operate in different environments. Based on existing literature, this thesis identifies and examines the combination of lean and agile strategies with the different humanitarian supply chain stages. The combination possibility for a le-agile strategy is based on the base-surge demand approach from commercial literature. Moreover, agile and lean supply chain characteristics as well as practices how to achieve these characteristics are identified and illustrated in a theoretical framework. The empirical, qualitative research using a single-case study strategy further explores the supply chain practices of the Georgia Red Cross Society (GRCS) during the armed conflict in 2008. These lean and agile practices were studied by looking at preparedness, response and recovery stages related to the event, as well as the new preparedness phase, emerged after the armed conflict. The key findings indicate that lean practices are performed by the case organisation in the preparedness stage and to some lower extent in the reconstruction stage. Agile practices were evidenced in the response stage of the armed conflict. Overall, the findings support the theoretical propositions made prior to the empirical research. However, in the case of the studied organisation, the findings indicate that not all lean practices, identified from the commercial supply chain literature, were applied in the preparedness and reconstruction stages likewise. Nevertheless, in general there was a tendency for using lean practices in both stages of humanitarian supply chain. Another finding indicates that lean and agile practices are strongly linked and support each other. This was clearly reflected in an interconnection between preparedness and response stages, whereas implementation of efficient lean practices during the preparedness stage supported a quick and agile reaction to the armed conflict in the response stage. Additionally, it was found out that the reconstruction and preparedness stages of the GRCS humanitarian supply chain are connected through an iterative process of continuous learning and improvements. This thesis contributes to existing literature by providing empirical proof for the existence of lean and agile strategies in the preparedness, response, and reconstruction stages of the case organisation’s humanitarian supply chain. These results also support the possibility to use the commercial base and surge demand model for combining lean and agile strategies with the different humanitarian supply chain stages, which represents an under-investigated field in existing humanitarian supply chain literature.

Houseman, Jonathan. "Branched chains in poly(methyl methacrylate) polymerisations incorporating a polymeric chain transfer agent". Thesis, Loughborough University, 2000. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/34854.
Texto completoResumen
Branching in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is produced by incorporating a pre-prepared polymeric chain transfer agent (PCTA) into a single stage radical polymerisation. Samples of PCTA having a range of transfer functionalities and molar masses were synthesised by modifying a methacrylate-based copolymer. Control of branching in PMMA has been studied as a function of transfer functionality and molar mass in the PCT A and a function of MMA and initiator concentrations in the MMA polymerisation. The branched samples of PMMA have been characterised by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) with multi-detectors to determine Mark–Houwink and other parameters to assess levels of branching. Some PCTA samples have been prepared with a UV chromophore to facilitate characterisation by SEC-UV.

Texto completoResumen
Cette étude comparative sur l’Argentine et le Congo–Brazzaville traite de l’impact des cultures populaires urbaines, telles que le tango et la rumba congolaise, sur l’écriture romanesque. Il s’agit de cerner le dilemme auquel sont confrontés les écrivains s’exprimant dans une langue d’origine coloniale. L’objectif est de saisir comment ces musiques populaires et les langages hybrides qu’elles ont développés – le lunfardo et le lingala - contribuent à émanciper la production littéraire de ces jeunes nations. Ce rapprochement nous a paru pertinent en raison du décalage historique entre l’Argentine et le Congo, l’une accédant à l’indépendance en 1816 et l’autre, en 1960. Tout d’abord, nous analysons les tensions auxquelles ces littératures nationales sont soumises, du fait de leur passé colonial. Nous étudions ensuite comment le tango et la rumba congolaise, nés dans les faubourgs de capitales tentaculaires, s’imposent comme phénomènes culturels majeurs, au point d’asseoir leur influence sur la littérature. Enfin, nous examinons dans quelle mesure musique et écriture constituent une alliance salutaire pour une création littéraire singulière et universelleThis comparative study on the Argentina and the Congo-Brazzaville deals with the impact of popular urban cultures - such as the tango and the Congolese rumba - on the novel style. The aim is to define the novelists’ dilemma expressing in a language of a colonial origin. These popular musics have expanded two hybrid languages : the lunfardo and the lingala. The objective is to explain how these forms of expression contribute to emancipate the literary production of these young nations. This comparison seems judicious because of the historic gap between the Argentina and the Congo, the first one coming to the independence in 1816 and the other one, in 1960. At first, we analyse the tensions which influence these national literatures, because of their colonial past. Then, we study how the tango and the Congolese rumba, born in the suburbs of these octopus capital cities, reveal themselves as major cultural phenomena, so that they established their influence on the literature. Finally, we examine how music and writing constitute a salutary alliance for a singular and universal literary creation

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation explores the influences on individual decision making in a complex, real world context – the New Zealand wool supply chain. It asks two fundamental questions, first, how do decision makers make decisions in their everyday settings and, second, how is decision making learned and improved through experience and contextual factors. Two contextual aspects of decision making were also examined; these included whether decision making processes varied as a result of uncertainty and risky surroundings, or in cooperative and competitive environments. Further examination included revealing how being a member of a (multi-layered) group influences individual decision making. In-depth qualitative interviewing of sheep farmers, and associated supply chain members in the wool industry was undertaken. Three key decision journeys were explored from both the 'psychological' and the 'social' schools of social psychology in order to give detail on the flow of decision making influences through human systems (whether entities were present, or implied). One of the main aspects of this study was to employ, by analogy, an analysis inspired by the concept of multi-level selection from evolutionary theory as a means of understanding decision making in such a complex, layered system. Other contributions include commentary on the nature of social psychological studies of decision making, suggestions for the expansion of naturalistic decision making to include processes occurring on more than one 'level' of context, the framing of information in the media and the judgment of information sources on the part of experienced and inexperienced farmers, and, the role that globalization may play in driving decision making behaviour.

Harland, Christine. "Supply chain management : perceptions of requirements and performance in European automotive aftermarket supply chains". Thesis, University of Warwick, 1994. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/34733/.
Texto completoResumen
This dissertation is about supply chain management. Some authors have used the term to describe a strategic, inter-organisation issue, others authors to discuss an alternative organisational form to vertical integration. Much of the operations management literature uses the phrase to describe the planning and control of materials flow internally within a company or externally between companies. This work develops a definition of supply chain management. The empirical research tests hypotheses relating to gaps in customers' and suppliers' perceptions of requirements and performance in supply chains, against a set of performance dimensions. The hypotheses are tested in four automotive aftermarket supply chains, two of which are in Spain and two in the UK. All four chains have similar structures and include a manufacturer, an area distributor, a local distributor and ten installers, or garages. Qualitative and quantitative analysis show significant :differences between different types of gaps in perceptions; suppliers in the chains do not recognise the 'degree of customer dissatisfaction in existence. A positive correlation is shown to exist between the amount of misperception in the chains about performance and the amount of customer dissatisfaction. It is also shown this customers are more dissatisfied with some performance dimensions than others. In these supply chains, customer dissatisfaction and misperception of performance both significantly increase upstream i.e, downstream customers are more satisfied and there is less misperception in downstream relationships about performance levels. This effect is compared to the industrial dynamics "Forrester Effect". The work develops the concept of supply chain management into a broader, holistic concept of interorganisation operations management. It contributes to operations management by (i) developing the concept of supply chain management (ii) improving knowledge about relationships in supply chains (iii) identifying the significant role of performance (iv) improving knowledge about the implication of position in a supply chain (v) integrating related literatures, notably service management, purchasing, industrial dynamics and logistics.

Stone, James. "The impact of supply chain performance measurement systems on dynamic behaviour in supply chains". Thesis, Aston University, 2012. http://publications.aston.ac.uk/16508/.
Texto completoResumen
The amplification of demand variation up a supply chain widely termed ‘the Bullwhip Effect’ is disruptive, costly and something that supply chain management generally seeks to minimise. Originally attributed to poor system design; deficiencies in policies, organisation structure and delays in material and information flow all lead to sub-optimal reorder point calculation. It has since been attributed to exogenous random factors such as: uncertainties in demand, supply and distribution lead time but these causes are not exclusive as academic and operational studies since have shown that orders and/or inventories can exhibit significant variability even if customer demand and lead time are deterministic. This increase in the range of possible causes of dynamic behaviour indicates that our understanding of the phenomenon is far from complete. One possible, yet previously unexplored, factor that may influence dynamic behaviour in supply chains is the application and operation of supply chain performance measures. Organisations monitoring and responding to their adopted key performance metrics will make operational changes and this action may influence the level of dynamics within the supply chain, possibly degrading the performance of the very system they were intended to measure. In order to explore this a plausible abstraction of the operational responses to the Supply Chain Council’s SCOR® (Supply Chain Operations Reference) model was incorporated into a classic Beer Game distribution representation, using the dynamic discrete event simulation software Simul8. During the simulation the five SCOR Supply Chain Performance Attributes: Reliability, Responsiveness, Flexibility, Cost and Utilisation were continuously monitored and compared to established targets. Operational adjustments to the; reorder point, transportation modes and production capacity (where appropriate) for three independent supply chain roles were made and the degree of dynamic behaviour in the Supply Chain measured, using the ratio of the standard deviation of upstream demand relative to the standard deviation of the downstream demand. Factors employed to build the detailed model include: variable retail demand, order transmission, transportation delays, production delays, capacity constraints demand multipliers and demand averaging periods. Five dimensions of supply chain performance were monitored independently in three autonomous supply chain roles and operational settings adjusted accordingly. Uniqueness of this research stems from the application of the five SCOR performance attributes with modelled operational responses in a dynamic discrete event simulation model. This project makes its primary contribution to knowledge by measuring the impact, on supply chain dynamics, of applying a representative performance measurement system.

Thesis, KTH, Industriell ekonomi och organisation (Inst.), 2012. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-103925.
Texto completoResumen
The research topic of this study is market-specific supply chain strategy, and the research problem is defined as, how manufacturing companies can use the DWV3 classification system to evaluate the opportunity for a market-specific supply chain strategy. What has been written about the DWV3 classification system is somewhat general in its nature and the practitioner is left without detailed instructions on how to proceed with the analytical analysis. Key elements of the DWV3 classification system that is not explicitly described in the literature is (1) how to measure each of the classification variables, (2) how to define a suitable limit for each measure in order to classify the products and (3) how to reason when sequencing the classification variables in the clustering analysis. Hence, the purpose of this thesis is to make the DWV3 classification system more available to practitioners, and thus the aim is to illustrate how to tackle the key elements of the framework by applying it on the Atlas Copco Industrial Technique Business Area product portfolio. A single-case study design was chosen as a suitable research approach for this thesis. The application of the DWV3 system to the ITBA product portfolio was considered as the phenomenon under investigation, the case, of this study. Two sets of quantitative data were collected, demand data and product master data. The qualitative data collected was related to the ITBA supply chain set-up and the products as well as the customers’ responsiveness requirements for each assortment included in the study. All qualitative data was collected through interviews. The findings of this study are summarized in a number of conclusions that can serve as guidelines for practitioners that are about to apply the DWV3 system. These are (1) as far as possible use measures at the single product level, (2) use measures that express each classification variable in a way that is relevant to the matching of demand characteristics and supply chain strategy, (3) be prepared to redefine initial measures in order to describe the studied products’ characteristics in the best possible way, (4) develop measures that are based on available data or data that is feasible to attain, (5) adjust the number of codification levels to find the best trade-off between the level of detail in the cluster analysis and the number of populated segments, (6) alter the sequencing and repeat the cluster analysis to gain insight into the demand characteristics of the product portfolio, (7) the final sequencing of the classification variables must produce clusters that are relevant for the chosen production philosophy concepts.

Texto completoResumen
Accelerating volatility, complexity and scrutiny will be the norm in the landscape for
agribusiness value chains as the future unfolds. Evidence of this new landscape is clear
from the extent and intricacy of global food and fibre value chains, the rise of
consumerism, and the prominence of the sustainability and responsibility narrative. As
a result, agribusinesses and their value chains are compelled to evolve to meet the
challenges and opportunities that this new landscape presents. However, agribusinesses
and their value chains generally seem lethargic to adapt to this new environment and
are consequently every so often ensnared by a cascade of effects that highlight the
volatile, complex and scrutinising challenges for these value chains. Confirmation of
these cascading effects is evident from the range of food scandals, product recalls,
instantaneous bankruptcies, and reputation and brand devastation, where unexpected
events lead to these, and other, non-linear payoffs that ripple through these chains. The
conspicuous occurrence of these events with non-linear impacts is indicative of fragility
in these chains and specifically highlights the rationale for detailed exploration of
fragility, as a phenomenon, in agribusiness value chains. This thesis addresses this
overlooked phenomenon by threshing out the factors that cause fragility, by developing
a framework to quantify fragility, and finally by exploring the interaction between
fragility and the coordination of agribusiness value chains. Through a normative Delphi approach with key stakeholders and a principal component
analysis, this thesis explored the factors that contribute to agribusiness value chain
fragility in selected meat, fibre and fruit chains and found that those factors that
contribute to the efficiency of value chains are also the factors that drive the fragility of
these chains. This finding exposed a juxtaposition between value chain efficiency and
fragility and the need to find a measured balance between these approaches to achieve
and sustain chain goals. The thesis develops a framework to measure agribusiness value
chain fragility and applies this framework to the South African lamb value chain
through a modified value chain analysis methodology. This framework exhibits the
detection and quantification of fragility at the factor, stakeholder and chain level in the
particular chain. The thesis finds a golden thread of specific factors that are critical to
the fragility of the particular chain. The whole chain of actors is fragile to the actual
quality and safety performance and the cash flow position of actors in the chain.
Likewise, the thesis also finds nuances in specific factors that are critical to the fragility
of the particular actors in the chain due to the activities’ unique techno-economic
characteristics. Producers are uniquely fragile to buyer and operational reliability,
abattoirs to the quality and training of human resources, and the quality and adequacy
of infrastructure, packers to regulations and supplier reliability, and retailers to the
management information and supplier relationship and alignment. The idiosyncrasy is
that activity-specific fragilities could, unpredictably, cascade into the rest of the chain
due to sequential interdependencies in a typical chain. Quantification of the fragility of
the South African lamb chain also establishes that increasing coordination intensity and
interdependency in the chain increase the fragility of the chain. Hence the thesis argues
that traditional transaction costs economising model that guides the coordination
strategies of successive exchanges in value chains may, in fact, contribute to chain
fragility in the effort to economise on the costs of exchange.
Conscious of the findings of the analyses the thesis argues that complex systems like
value chains are unavoidably exposed to human limitations in their design and
management. Humanity appears challenged in coping with complexity, and as a result,
the coordination of value chains oscillates between hubris and nemesis in pursuit of
coordination precision – sailing too close to the wind and then crying foul when the
inevitable happens. Therefore, the thesis makes a case for a more mindful and less ‘fragilising’ approach to the coordination of value chains by arguing that both fragility
and the cost of exchange be considered in the governance of chains. The shortcoming
of the traditional approach is laid bare by the growing frequency and impact of events
with cascading consequences that ripple through chains. Hence the thesis’ argument is
contrary to the traditional transaction costs economising model that only considers
economising on the costs of exchange, at all cost, in the coordination of value chains.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2017.

Texto completoResumen
Technology has been developing over the last decades and the phenomenon of digitalization is becoming a reality for all industries. For supply chain managers, it is becoming a necessity to use the new technology to create interoperable systems that can increase responsiveness, transparency and cost efficiency of their supply chains, in order to meet the more demanding customer expectations and business environments. Changing business environments force companies to enter new markets where margins might be lower, which requires more cost efficient supply chains. Company X, the commissioning company for this research is an example of a company struggling with this. They are starting to develop Information and Communication Technology (ICT) products, which have lower margins than previous products. Company X, who is about to start the journey of digitalizing their supply chains, would therefore benefit from knowing what value adds that digitalization can bring. There is currently a gap within the field of supply chain management regarding evaluation of digitalization projects. Therefore, this study investigates the main drivers, factors that enable changes and affect value adds, of digitalization of supply chains, the changes these drivers result in and the value adds of these. The study also contributes with a framework for future evaluation of digitalization projects.The study was conducted with case studies at three companies, which are all comparable to Company X in both size and business. The investigated companies are all global producers of ICT-products who have conducted a digitalization of their supply chains.The main finding of this study is that the overall driver for digitalization according to the case companies is Standardization and Simplification, and all case companies state that this is the main goal for digitalizing the supply chain. Furthermore, automatization from tender to invoice is one of the major changes that standardization and simplification of the Supply Chain Information Technology (SCIT) enables. This improves the information flow between all silos within the supply chain and also helps increase order reliability, responsiveness and scalability as well as improve integration and collaboration with partners and suppliers, and it increases the overall process and cost efficiency. This all helps to increase the customer experience and satisfaction, which is stated as the major value add from digitalization of the supply chain according to the case companies.

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation consists of two parts. The first part isaboutManaging buyer-supplier relationships in autoproduction chains a case study of Volvo and its supplierrelationship management. The second part is aboutManaging buyer-supplier relationships in telecom supplychains a case study of Ericsson and its supplierrelationship models in different business situations. The scope of this study is restricted to supply chains inautomotive and telecommunication industries, where the successof supply processes is dependent on how well a company managesits supply chain with horizontal or vertical integration tofulfill customer demands. The research is carried out as a number of case studies ofbuyer-supplier relationship management in the auto and telecomsupply chains. The aim was to analyze how a company fulfillscustomer demand in the best way through different supplierrelationships, and how and why alternative relationship typesare used in reality. The study is based on the relationship between two focalcompanies and their suppliers. Case study methodology is used,and data is collected from selected cases through interviewsand observations. Analysis is carried out within and acrosscases. From the case interpretation and analysis, conclusionsare drawn as to which strategic level of buyer-supplierrelationship is appropriate for different situations. As a result and in conclusion, a static supplychain-reaction model is built at the end of the Part I. Thestatic model describes the importance of collaborativebuyer-supplier relationships in the product developmentprocess. Based on this model, it is concluded in Part II thatthe most suitable supplier relationship is different fordifferent products. For the same product, the most appropriatebuyer-supplier relationship varies with the products lifecycle timing. Therefore, two dynamic buyer-supplierrelationship models under different business conditions and indifferent product life-cycle periods are created in Part II.The models apply to dynamic processes, not to interactingcompany organizations in general. The study increases the knowledge regarding selection of themost appropriate supplier relationships in different businesssituations.

Texto completoResumen
The recent financial-crisis that Greece (Hellas) suffers has restricted and reduced the budgets of many organizations. Among those, the Hellenic ministry of defense has begun examining ways to reduce costs while maintaining operational readiness. Retirement legislation is the first area the Hellenic ministry of defense is examining. Variables such as years of service required to receive a pension, years of service by pay grade, and the skills officers should possess for promotion were examined and recorded in ordinances (directives) issued by the president of the Hellenic Republic. However, these ordinances are expected to expand the number of officers in the middle pay grades. In an attempt to deal with potential increases in middle and higher pay grades of officer inventory the Hellenic Ministry of Defense is examining an alternative plan of two parallel officer force structures war and auxiliary. The primary structure will consist of war officers. These officers are considered top performers whose careers stop at the pay grade of flag officer. The auxiliary inventory includes those officers exhibiting lower performance with the terminal pay grade of captain. The purpose of these parallel paths is to ensure all officers serve 35 years in order to receive full pensions. This thesis analyzed job performance from the perspective of experience, ability, motivation, and accomplishment of advanced degrees. It concluded that experience should be combined with education level as a reliable evaluation field. Through the use of weighting priorities, the Hellenic navy should establish job performance as a single number, or officer ranking. Thus, top performers are distinguished from officers with lower performance on periodic evaluations. Using Markov-chain models and officer scores on job performance, the war and auxiliary inventories were examined. The war inventory was then adjusted to corresponding billets at every pay grade during a five-year period. The auxiliary officers were examined for future vacancies in the war inventory.

This dissertation aims at understanding complex multi-tier, multi-dimension supply chains, investigating why and how an event in a focal firm affects members of its own and other supply chains. To fulfill this goal, two approaches were used, a theoretical and an empirical approach. For the theoretical study, we developed a novel way to look at dissemination of the impact of an event over a supply chain through metaphorical transfer. We built upon the physics of stone skipping, analyzing the correspondence between elements from physics and supply chains at the levels of ontology, analogy, and identity. The main contributions of the theoretical study were the development of six propositions and a model of dissemination of the impact of an event over a supply chain. Second, we applied the propositions using a set of qualitative data collected in the cosmetics industry in Brazil. We conducted 131 semi-structured in-depth interviews and 22 site visits, in addition to observation and analysis of documents. The multiple case studies were based on six complex, multi-tier, multi-dimension supply chains encompassing up to seven tiers each. Within and cross-case analysis were conducted. The results of the empirical study are presented in two parts. First, we analyzed the six supply chains in detail and identified six mid-range events that had impacts beyond the source firm. Second, we tested the propositions from the theoretical part of this study and their application to the identified mid-range events. Our results indicated that, differently from the current literature, supply chains are not linear. In multi-tier, multi-dimension supply chains, the same firm can play different roles according to the supply chain it is part of different times. Thus, supply chains are better portrayed as a set of interlocking networks. Our findings also support viewing a supply chain as a chain of individual relationships. Several elements impact the dissemination of the impact of an event over a supply chain. Among them, power of the source firm and the personal social influence of the individuals in the source firm play a significant role. In addition, because individuals make decisions and implement events, it is important to consider that personal heuristics, biases, and locus of control will be manifested by the individuals in all contexts, both internal (focal firm), and external (supply chin links), and that those human irrationalities will impact the perception of the event and influence the continuity and extent of its impact in the supply chain. Our findings also support the notion that the impact of an event is disseminated over a supply chain through its members’ weak ties.
Esta tese objetivou compreender cadeias de suprimento multi niveis e multi dimensionais, investigando como e porque um evento em uma empresa focal afeta membros de sua propria cadeia de suprimentos e outras cadeias. Para atender este objetivo, duas abordagens foram utilizadas: uma teórica e uma empírica. Para o estudo teórico, desenvolvemos uma nova forma de olhar a disseminação do impacto de um evento na cadeia de suprimentos utilizando transferência metafórica. Nos baseamos na física de pedras que saltam na água, analisando a correspondência dentre os elementos da física e das cadeias de suprimentos nos niveis de ontologia, analogia e identidade. A principal contribuição do estudo teórico reside no desenvolvimento de seis proposições e um modelo para a disseminação do impacto de um evento na cadeia de suprimentos. Em seguida, nós aplicamos tais proposições numa base de dados coletada no setor de cosméticos no Brasil. Foram conduzidas 131 entrevistas em profundidade e 22 visitas à fábricas e unidades de negócio por todo o país. Complementarmente também foram conduzidas observações e análise de documentos secundários. Estudos de casos múltiplos individuais e comparativos foram desenvolvidos baseados em seis cadeias de suprimentos complexas, multi-niveis e multi-dimensionais, que englobaram de cinco a sete niveis cada uma. Os resultados foram apresentados em duas partes. No primeiro, anlisamos as seis cadeias de suprimentos em detalhes e identificamos seis eventos de médio porte que tiveram impactos em suas cadeias de suprimentos além da empresa focal onde foi iniciado. Em seguida, aplicamos as proposições do estudo teórico nos eventos de médio porte identificados. Nosso resultados indicaram que, diferentemente da literatura, cadeias de suprimentos não são lineares. Em condicões reais, a mesma empresa pode representar diferentes papéis de acordo com a cadeia de suprimento que ela é parte em diferentes momentos. Assim, cadeias de suprimentos são melhor representadas como um conjunto de redes interligadas. Nossos achados também suportam a visão de cadeias de suprimentos como uma rede de relações individuais. Vários diferentes elementos influenciam na disseminação do impacto de um evento em uma cadeia de suprimentos, dentre eles, o poder da empresa e a habilidade de influência social dos indivíduos que fazem parte daquela empresa têm papel relevante. Também é importante considerar que irracionalidades pessoais como heurísitcas, vieses, e locus de controle serão manifestados por indivíduos em todos os contextos, interno (empresa focal) e externo (cadeia de suprimentos), e que tais irracionalidades impactam a percepção do evento, a continuidade e extensão de seus impactos na cadeia de suprimentos. Nossos achados ainda suportam a noção de que o impacto de um evento é disseminado na cadeia de suprimentos por meio dos laços fracos construídos pelos membros das organizações.

Texto completoResumen
The research aim was to gain a more detailed understanding of the operation of different key segments for fresh produce supply chains originating in the Highlands Provinces in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The research investigates a number of supply chain dimensions of effectiveness which include, value creation and integration of processes, logistics, quality, information, relationship/vertical integration and overall effectiveness. These were linked together in SC framework. Two potato chains were investigated, one formal, the other informal. The informal potato chain involves small holder farmers, input suppliers and local markets including kai bars and the urban market. The chain originates and ends within the Western Highlands Province. The formal potato chain has farmers, input suppliers, wholesaler/marker, transport companies (trucking and coastal shipping agents), supermarkets, hotels and kai bars. This chain originates in Mt Hagen, Western Highlands Province and ends in Port Moresby, National Capital District. The effectiveness of both the formal and informal chains was identified, and comparisons were made to see how each chain differed. The informal chain was found to have different problems to the formal chains. However, participants to both chains demonstrate a high entrepreneurial behavior. A key finding of the study was that the chains spread their risk by operating in multiple market segments and this can help to solve issues with variable quality. The marketers in each chain position themselves in these different market segments. It was clear from this work that focusing on functions and not the whole chain can lead to a distorted view of chain performance. For example, for the informal chain, a focus on logistics issues, particularly poor roads and problems with availability of seeds, can misrepresent the effectiveness of this chain. Therefore, it was concluded that it is important to look at the overall performance of each chain rather than looking specifically at particular chain functions in isolation.

Business Administration/InterdisciplinaryD.B.A.
Until recently, academic and practitioner research on clinical trial supply chains focused on identifying innovative models and solutions in providing comparator and study drugs to global clinical sites. Due to the expansion of outsourcing efforts by pharmaceutical organizations, newly enacted global laws and regulations, and the continued push to increase the speed at which new drugs gain market approval, a new and extremely complex global “ancillary” supply chain has emerged. This manuscript focuses on the clinical trial ancillary supply chain: a supply chain that develops the end-to-end process resulting in the distribution and quality management of medical products and devices, consumable supplies, and patient giveaways to global clinical trial sites. Based on a series of quantitative analyses, this research assesses the influence of the customer, country, and product on the overall success of the supply chain. Three factors emerged from these analyses as having a direct influence on the clinical trial ancillary supply chain; product characteristics, magnitude (components of size), and stability (components of changes in scope). Part II of this research sought to understand the success of the supply chain by evaluating the moderating effects of knowledge management, organizational culture, therapeutic area, and type of shipment. Assessments of 444 customer and server surveys yielded components of a sense of shared culture, shared communication and transparency, and feeling educated and supported. Quantitative data analysis supported that these components had a moderating influence on success during the pre-trial phase of the supply chain. These research findings provide insight into the internal and external drivers of success within the complex and emergent clinical trial supply chain – a supply chain that helps pharmaceutical organizations bring innovative therapies to market and most important, those patients in need of such therapies to improve or even save their lives.

Texto completoResumen
We live in an era where markets are more dynamic and the product life cycle is shorter, an era where concepts such as smart manufacturing and mass customization form part of daily life in industries and where consumption rates of products and services are rising. All these result in more dynamic, global, complex and fragile supply chains. Disruptions are negative impacts on business continuity in companies and when a supply chain is disrupted there is only one way to tackle the challenges originated and is the ability to be resilient. Based on a systematic literature review, this thesis lay out a framework to position Vendor Managed Inventory digital solutions in order to provide full visibility in the supply chains, and enhance agility and flexibility skill sets in the organizations to be resilient after massive disruptions such as the COVID-19. The conclusions of this work provide a positive outlook of the capabilities of VMI solutions to create more resilient supply chains.Vi lever i en era där marknader är mer dynamiska och produkters livscykel kortare. En era där koncept som smart tillverkning och mass-anpassning är en del av dagliga livet i industrier och där konsumtionsnivåer av produkter och tjänster ökar. Allt detta resulterar i mer dynamiska, globala, komplexa och känsliga försörjningskedjor. Störningar påverkar kontinuiteten i verksamheten negativt hos företag och när en försörjningskedja påverkas av störningar finns det bara ett sätt att hantera utmaningarna som uppstår och det är genom förmågan att vara motståndskraftig. Baserad på systematisk litteratursökning, lägger denna avhandling fram ramverk för att positionera Vendor Managed Inventory digitala lösningar för att förse full synlighet i distributionskedjan och förbättra rörlighetens och flexibilitetens förmågor i organisationerna för att bli mera uthållig efter massiva störningar som COVID-19. Slutsatserna av detta arbete ger en positiv syn på möjligheterna för VMI-lösningar för att skapa mer motståndskraftiga försörjningskedjor.

Texto completoResumen
Globally organisations are faced with the increasing problem and focus on seeking to produce energy using processes that are less harmful to the environment, ensuring reduced environmental pollution that will result in a sustainable healthy environment for the future. Energy produced from non-renewable matter like fossil fuels, for example, has been shown to increase environmental pollution compared to energy produced from renewable matter like biomass. Therefore, many countries are developing national energy strategies or policies that target the reduction of the high dependency on energy produced from fossil fuel and moving towards renewable energy that is produced from biomass which is bioenergy.
This study explores the challenges of how a sustainable forest fuel biomass supply chain can be established in South Africa, to supply the required volumes of forest fuel biomass to multifuel biomass boiler organisations to produce bioenergy. This research study used a qualitative, exploratory and inductive research methods to gain insights into how this forest fuel biomass supply chain can be established. The data was collected through 12 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with farmers, biomass boiler operational stuff and forestry management personnel. The interviews were transcribed, coded and analysed to answer the research questions.
The study confirmed that transparency and openness through the forest fuel biomass supply chain was imperative as it has been identified through the review of the literature, and risk management needed to be incorporated when establishing the supply chain. A framework is presented that would help with the establishment of the forest fuel biomass supply chain.Mini Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2020.

This research study seeks to identify possible barriers that may exist within supply chain organisations and prevent the full acceptance, integration and utilisation of Internet based information system technologies, as is required by the new information age. The barriers can possibly be behavioural in nature (in measuring the use of information technology applications), psychological (dealing with perceptions) or be based on organisational policies and technical know-how. By conducting an empirical research investigation into the perceptions of users at different levels of supply chain management activity, the intention is to help organisations capitalise on their investment in information technology systems by identifying barriers to its usage after implementation. The hypothesis is derived from existing literature about business organisations‘ experiences and best practices, albeit it beyond the borders of South Africa. The respondents’ perspective is tested in a questionnaire to determine the level of organisational Internet based SCM integration and information sharing in the current South African market. This survey was conducted over a period of four months and targeted 2568 respondents. Both qualitative and quantitative data analyses were used to improve the value of research findings. The value of this research investigation is to assist South African supply chain management practitioners and researchers in competing with global players, since competitive advantage depends on competent supply chains in today’s digital economy, according to Philip Kotler (2001: 3). All the research objectives were achieved from the research sample data analysis. From the empirical research, the findings concern their search for lower prices, the payment receipt of money electronically and their order placement amongst others. The two underlying constructs that govern respondents’ SC interaction and in particular their information sharing activities are confidence and confidentiality, however the null hypothesis cannot be rejected. The results of this study and the contribution to the multi-discipline research area could be improved by future studies taking an even larger sample of the sample population to include more heterogeneous technology users in the study. This could facilitate the extrapolation of the results to the South African SCM market with more certainty.Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2007.

Texto completoResumen
Despite the large body of research devoted to the topic of supply chain integration in operations and supply chain management literature, most studies agree that the concept is still undertheorised. There is also a dearth of empirical research on supply chain integration comprising external suppliers and customers and internal company integration, and weaknesses in our understanding of the interrelationships between the levels of supply chain integration. This research addresses these gaps in literature and investigates how supply chain integration might lead to improved competitive advantage. A theoretical framework was developed from the literature and encompassed three levels of external supplier and customer and internal company integration. This framework is anchored by the resource-based view (RBV) addressing a theoretical gap in the way this theory might be used across the supply chain to enhance competitive advantage. Following a pilot case study, five case studies were conducted in the context of garment manufacturers supply chains. The data collection process adopted a novel methodological approach through obtaining evidence from manufacturers, suppliers and customers across each case study supply chain. The outcome of the case study research is an empirical model of supply chain integration. The empirical findings suggest that supply chain integration is achieved through integration at the three levels of internal, supplier and customer, and that the benefits reaped from internal company integration is higher in the presence of customer integration. The importance of this finding is that it addresses a frequently asked question in recent literature about the relevance of internal company integration to the successful implementation of supply chain integration. Moreover, this research contributed to supply chain management literature through theoretical and practical application of RBV across geographically dispersed garment manufacturers’ supply chains. The empirical findings suggest that garment manufacturers benefited from inbound spillover (unintended) rents through integrating with their international customers. The findings also suggest that the developed empirical model informs the concept of supply chain visibility; an emerging area of research in recent years. Finally, this thesis provides practical implications and some directions for future research.

Quantum computers, like classical ones, need to be capable of sending informa-tion between different parts of the computer. Spin chains are one viable method of sending qubits while preserving the superposition and entanglement of a state. We use quantum speed limits, which give bounds on how fast non-relativistic quantum systems can evolve, to study simple Heisenberg chains and their efficacy as quantum channels.

Texto completoResumen
Growing concerns over the environmental and social impacts related to the production of clothing and textiles have created a need for more discussion about supply chain practices. Currently, there are no guidelines or strategies for addressing sustainable supply chains in the apparel industry that minimize environmental impacts and uphold socially responsible practices. This exploratory case study traces an apparel supply chain, with a focus on cotton, in South Africa that is under a development strategy to create a sustainable supply chain from farm to retail. In-depth interviews were conducted across the supply chain, including cotton farmers, cotton gins, a cotton yarn manufacturer, a textile mill, an apparel manufacturer, and a retailer. The purpose of the study was to gain an understanding of the business decisions at each node of the supply chain that influence the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainability by applying the triple top line model (McDonough & Braungart, 2002). This study identifies strengths and weaknesses in sustainable practices that adhere to the triple top line model within each node of the supply chain. Results found economic factors were drivers for good social and environmental practices, with the latter being the smallest segment of the three. The study makes recommendations for improving practices at each node of the supply chain and recommendations for strategies for developing sustainable apparel supply chains.

Morgan, E. H. "Value chains for nutrition : the applicability of value chain approaches to address low fruit and vegetable consumption in Fiji". Thesis, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (University of London), 2014. http://researchonline.lshtm.ac.uk/2160500/.
Texto completoResumen
Nutrition-oriented value chain analysis has been proposed to support the identification of solutions to nutrition problems, such as low fruit and vegetable (FV) intake. Through a case study of Fiji‘s FV sector, this thesis explores the application of the approach and aims to identify its strengths, limitations, and potential to inform public health action to increase FV intake. Following a review of models of value chain analysis, the strategic business management model was adapted and methods were selected to collect relevant data. Focus groups with urban consumers were used to establish what they value in FV. Following this, workshops, semi-structured interviews, and observations with chain actors and stakeholders were used to map three exemplar chains (amaranthus, papaya, and tomatoes) and investigate their performance in respect to delivery of consumer-defined value. Data were analysed thematically. Urban Fijians identified both price and quality as important to food choice and considered quality in terms of taste and appearance, perceived health properties, freshness, and convenience. Consumers described inconsistent availability and high prices as barriers to consumption. The exemplar chains were relatively basic, with most activities performed by farmers. Access to agricultural inputs was a challenge, as was limited transportation and market infrastructure. Actors tended to view consumers as driven by price and therefore focused on cost-minimisation rather than value addition. Most farmers received little information on supply and demand trends; however, strong relationships appeared to enhance product and information flows. Across the chains, high vulnerability to natural disasters impaired the delivery of consumer-defined value. The findings identify opportunities to enhance FV availability, affordability, and acceptability by promoting the qualities of FV that consumers value, reducing bottlenecks in the chains, and strengthening relationships between actors. They also suggest a benefit of the strategic business management model of value chain analysis for guiding research for nutrition.

Texto completoResumen
Cette recherche doctorale s’interroge sur les stratégies d’orientation possibles dans une situation de changement survenant dans la structure d’un secteur d’activité. La xylo-industrie du Cameroun est le cas d’étude qui retient l’attention de notre travail. La loi N°94/01 portant organisation des forêts intervient en 1994 pour signifier la nouvelle dimension des enjeux portés par ce secteur d’activité face au développement du pays. Or, l’industrialisation de la xylo-industrie place les entreprises face à des défis auxquels des stratégies nouvelles adaptés sont indispensables. La recherche d’une performance économique en contexte de Gestion Durable des Forêts résume ces défis. L’objectif de la recherche est de comprendre le fonctionnement de la xylo-industrie pour améliorer le management logistique et favoriser son intégration dans les GVC. Pour y parvenir, un diagnostic des difficultés a été jugé pertinent. Des entretiens semi-directifs ont été conduits auprès des trois catégories d’acteurs qui ont été identifiés. L’issu de ce diagnostic a permis de formuler l’hypothèse que la logistique était capable d’aider les entreprises à surmonter une grande partie des difficultés auxquelles elles étaient confrontées. Aussi, une revue de la littérature autour de la logistique et de la valeur a t-elle été mobilisée pour mieux appréhender la problématique de la recherche, guidé par des concepts tels que le Supply Chain Management et les Global Value Chains. Dans un deuxième moment, les propositions de recherche élaborées à partir de la littérature ont été confrontées avec les acteurs de terrain à l’aide d’un questionnaire. L’expression des acteurs professionnels sur des items théoriques a enrichi l’interprétation des résultats. Finalement, des recommandations ont été préconisées pour une amélioration du management logistique dans la xylo-industrie au Cameroun pour favoriser son intégration dans les Global Value ChainsThis research in doctorate degree rely on the law N°94/01 of 20th January 1994 bringing the forests regime, which compel the enterprises of exploitations of forests in Cameroon to realize henceforth, the first level of transformation of woods locally. The signature of passage to the industry in sector of the Xylo-industry imposes then, a structural changing of the initial channel of transformation of tropical woods going out from Cameroon. This structural changing causes a logistical problem which retains the attention of researchers. The circulation of the flows between the industries of the first localized transformation in Cameroon and the second industrials transformation localized in the developed countries should have intensified and the logistics demands will become stronger. How does one succeed the integration of channel between the enterprises of a developening country and that of developed countries? The objective of this research is to understand the functioning of the xylo-industry in Cameroon to reach at the actionable propositions centered on the logistics and the SMC. To reach it, a diagnosis of difficulties was realized by the three categories of actors which have been identified. It has been rely on a study of unique case. A literature review around the logistic of SMC and the Global value chains was judicious for better comprehension of our research. The propositions of elaborated research from the literature have been putting into test the facts towards the enterprises of the first industrial transformation in Cameroon by a questionnaire. In conclusion, an amelioration of logistic management in the enterprises of the industry of the first transformation of woods in Cameroon is an indispensable condition of their integration in the global value chains

Large and complex software that is frequently changed leads to testing challenges. It is well established that the later a fault is detected in software development, the more it costs to fix. This thesis aims to research and develop a method of generating relevant and non-redundant test cases for a regression test suite, to catch bugs as early in the development process as possible. The research was executed at Axis Communications AB with their products and systems in mind. The approach utilizes user data to dynamically generate a Markov chain model and with a Markov chain Monte Carlo method, strengthen that model. The model generates test case proposals, detects test gaps, and identifies redundant test cases based on the user data and data from a test suite. The sampling in the Markov chain Monte Carlo method can be modified to bias the model for test coverage or relevancy. The model is generated generically and can therefore be implemented in other API-driven systems. The model was designed with scalability in mind and further implementations can be made to increase the complexity and further specialize the model for individual needs.

The wide range of the petroleum industry's products as well as the varied value of these products coupled with the global nature of the petroleum industry presents both challenges and opportunities within the petroleum supply chain. It is along this supply chain that challenges for creating value for the customer exist as well the opportunities for reaching this goal. Value chain analysis methodology has been hailed as being capable to lend itself to process improvement challenges faced along supply chains. To achieve this objective, a case study method was used to collect and analyse data. This dissertation identifies and follows one of the supply chains of a petroleum company operating in South Africa to investigate how value chain analysis can be implemented along its supply chain.

Texto completoResumen
Le présent mémoire traite principalement de l'association du hatun charango – un instrument de ma création appartenant à la famille du charango andin – à des formations instrumentales occidentales (musique de chambre et d’orchestre). La conception de ces œuvres a engendré une réflexion sur l’importance, dans mon travail artistique, des relations entre la culture de tradition orale – ici, la culture andine – et la culture de tradition écrite – la culture occidentale en général –, et tout particulièrement dans le domaine musical. Ces enjeux sont ici abordés selon une réflexion personnelle liée à ma pratique artistique de création musicale. Ce mémoire est donc le reflet de certains aspects importants de mon travail de création pour les trois œuvres à l’étude. Ces œuvres sont : 1°) Yampayec pour hatun charango et quatuor à cordes 2°) Chavin pour flûte, clarinette, 2 percussionnistes, hatun charango, piano, violon et violoncelle 3°) Khipufonía pour hatun charango, quenacho et orchestre
