  • supply chain operations reference model scor the first cross Industry Framework for integrated supply chain management
    Logistics Information Management, 1997
    Co-Authors: Gordon Stewart
    Abstract:

    The supply‐chain operations reference model (SCOR) is the first cross‐Industry Framework for evaluating and improving enterprise‐wide supply‐chain performance and management. The culmination of intensive work by 70 world‐class manufacturers, SCOR provides standard process definitions, terminology and metrics. It will enable companies to benchmark themselves against others, and influence future applications development efforts to ensure fit with manufacturers’ needs. The emerging process reference model concept is the logical extension of business process re‐engineering and other process improvement efforts. SCOR, which is structured in four levels, is based on a plan, source, make, deliver Framework.

  • spin outs knowledge diffusion through employee mobility
    The RAND Journal of Economics, 2006
    Co-Authors: April Franco, Darren Filson
    Abstract:

    In many industries, one important method of diffusion is through employee mobility: many of the entering firms are started by employees from incumbent firms using some of their former employer's technological know-how. This article explores the effect of incorporating this mechanism in a general Industry Framework by allowing employees to imitate their employers' know-how. The equilibrium is Pareto optimal because the employees “pay” for the possibility of learning their employers' know-how. The model's implications are consistent with data from the rigid disk drive Industry. These implications concern the effects of know-how on firm formation and survival.

  • reverse supply chain Framework proposal for malaysian automotive Industry
    2012
    Co-Authors: H. S. Hamzah, Sha'ri Mohd Yusof, Khairur Rijal Jamaludin, Muhamad Zameri Mat Saman
    Abstract:

    Automotive product recovery is a process in which End of Life Vehicles (ELV) are recovered from the end user to allow reuse, remanufacture or recycling. The goal is to reduce dependency on virgin materials whilst reducing disposal of automotive waste. While being actively implemented in automotive manufacturing countries such as United States, Germany, Japan, Korea and China, Malaysia has yet to develop its recovery Framework. This paper reviews the existing automotive Industry Framework and a reverse supply chain Framework for use in Malaysia were then proposed to further facilitate automotive product recovery in Malaysia.
