Book Das Collaborative Planning  Forecasting and Replenishment  CPFR  Konzept im Rahmen des Supply Chain Managements

Download or read book Das Collaborative Planning Forecasting and Replenishment CPFR Konzept im Rahmen des Supply Chain Managements written by Henrik Zimmermann and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2003-10-14 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: In dieser Diplomarbeit wird das moderne Kooperationskonzept Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR - Kooperative Planung, Prognose und Warenbevorratung) hinsichtlich seiner Rahmenbedingungen, Vorgehensweise und Umsetzbarkeit analysiert und bewertet. Unternehmen aus Industrie und Handel sind sich zunehmend der Notwendigkeit einer kooperativen, rationalisierten Supply Chain bewusst. Diesbezüglich wird CPFR als direkte Fortführung und Reifung des bekannten ECR-Ansatzes darstellt, da es logistische und absatzorientierte Aspekte nunmehr gemeinsam in unternehmensübergreifende Abverkaufs- und Bestellprognosen einfließen lässt. Basierend auf diesem hohen kooperativen Level verspricht das Konzept den partizipierenden Unternehmen sowohl Kosteneinsparungen als auch Umsatzsteigerungen. Gang der Untersuchung: Hinsichtlich der Vorgehensweise wird zunächst das von der Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Association entwickelte neunstufige Prozessmodell vorgestellt, bevor näher auf Effizienzvorteile, Erfolgsfaktoren sowie allgemeine Probleme der Implementierung eingegangen wird. Dieser Schwerpunkt der Diplomarbeit ist bewusst praxisnah gestaltet und beinhaltet neben einem einleitenden Fallbeispiel zahlreiche Rückgriffe auf bestehende Forschungsdaten. Auf den Erkenntnissen dieses Analyseteils stützt sich schließlich die kritische zukunftsgerichtete Bewertung von CPFR.

Book Advanced Planning in Fresh Food Industries

Download or read book Advanced Planning in Fresh Food Industries written by Matthias Lütke Entrup and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production planning in fresh food industries is a challenging task. Although modern Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) systems could provide significant support, APS implementation numbers in these industries remain low. Therefore, based on an in-depth analysis of three sample fresh food industries (dairy, fresh and processed meat), the author evaluates what APS systems should offer in order to effectively support production planning and how the leading systems currently handle the most distinguishing characteristic of fresh food industries, the short product shelf life. Starting from the identified weaknesses, customized software solutions for each of the sample industries are proposed that allow to optimize the production of fresh foods with respect to shelf life. The book thereby offers valuable insights not only to researchers but also to software providers of APS systems and professionals from fresh food industries.

Book The Successful Management of Small and Middle Sized Enterprises in a Specific Sector

Download or read book The Successful Management of Small and Middle Sized Enterprises in a Specific Sector written by Bernd Schneider and published by Rainer Hampp Verlag. This book was released on 2004 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Dr. Schneider analyses the opportunities, economic problems and internal weak points of middle-sized enterprises, especially from the point of view and the experience of a practitioner on the basis of enterprise analyses and interviews. Success factors of the SME are high flexibility, innovation, reliability, motivation of employees and customer loyalty as well as customer specific goods and services, which are last but not least determined by the strong influence of the enterpriser. The main problems of the SME are: too high costs for duties and bureaucracy, low capital facilities, often too little management potential; this prevents that good innovations from the markets, from the enterprise, are implemented consequently and profitably in products, methods and new market offers. This investigation gives further help and exemplars for a successful SME-management especially for the leisure time market horse management and wants to provide a scientific and experience-oriented contribution to motivate young elites to carry out their business and personal targets with a sense of proportion. Dr. Dr. Bernd Schneider is for years familiar with SME-problems: as a young business manager, enterpriser and now as head of the study focus "Entrepreneurship" of an academy. He teaches and advises both at home and abroad.

Book Management of Stochastic Demand in Make to Stock Manufacturing

Download or read book Management of Stochastic Demand in Make to Stock Manufacturing written by Rainer Quante and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up to now, demand fulfillment in make-to-stock manufacturing is usually handled by advanced planning systems. Orders are fulfilled on the basis of simple rules or deterministic planning approaches not taking into account demand fluctuations. The consideration of different customer classes as it is often done today requires more sophisticated approaches explicitly considering stochastic influences. This book reviews current literature, presents a framework that addresses revenue management and demand fulfillment at once and introduces new stochastic approaches for demand fulfillment in make-to-stock manufacturing based on the ideas of the revenue management literature.
