design and implementation of a high throughput biological sample processing facility using Modern Manufacturing principles
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2008Co-Authors: Paul Downey, Tim C PeakmanAbstract:BACKGROUND: UK Biobank is a prospective study that is collecting biological samples and health and lifestyle data from 500 000 volunteer participants over a 4-year period. These data will be used to facilitate biological and medical research. METHODS: Modern Manufacturing principles were used to direct the development of the sample processing facility and automated systems. RESULTS: A fit for purpose facility comprising technology, systems, dedicated process, infrastructure and an appropriate staff structure has been implemented that will deliver and maintain a resource that will support the long-term goals of the UK Biobank study. CONCLUSIONS: Modern Manufacturing principles are appropriate for use in the development of a high throughput biological sample processing facility.

Internet of things for enterprise systems of Modern Manufacturing
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 2014Co-Authors: Zhuming Bi, Li Da Xu, Chengen WangAbstract:Design and operation of a Manufacturing enterprise involve numerous types of decision-making at various levels and domains. A complex system has a large number of design variables and decision-making requires real-time data collected from machines, processes, and business environments. Enterprise systems (ESs) are used to support data acquisition, communication, and all decision-making activities. Therefore, information technology (IT) infrastructure for data acquisition and sharing affects the performance of an ES greatly. Our objective is to investigate the impact of emerging Internet of Things (IoT) on ESs in Modern Manufacturing. To achieve this objective, the evolution of Manufacturing system paradigms is discussed to identify the requirements of decision support systems in dynamic and distributed environments; recent advances in IT are overviewed and associated with next-generation Manufacturing paradigms; and the relation of IT infrastructure and ESs is explored to identify the technological gaps in adopting IoT as an IT infrastructure of ESs. The future research directions in this area are discussed.

ITQM - Study on Business Process Knowledge Creation and Optimization in Modern Manufacturing Enterprises
Procedia Computer Science, 2013Co-Authors: Libing Shu, Shifeng LiuAbstract:With the profound influence of information technology and knowledge age, Modern Manufacturing enterprises are developing towards knowledge intensive direction. The acquisition, production and application of new knowledge will be the basic motive powers for the development of Manufacturing enterprises. Therefore the focus should point to the recombination and application of current process knowledge and creation of new knowledge because of various separated and wasted knowledge in the business process of Modern Manufacturing enterprises. According to the SECI model, the business process knowledge creation in Modern Manufacturing enterprises can be summarized to four basic modes including knowledge accumulation inside enterprises, externalization of internal knowledge, internalization of external knowledge, and networked external knowledge. Furthermore, four suggestions put forward to promote the process knowledge creation and learning including business process reengineering, construction of knowledge mining mechanism, establishment of knowledge sharing platform, and cracking of knowledge locked effect.

complementarities momentum and the evolution of Modern Manufacturing
The American Economic Review, 1991Co-Authors: Paul Milgrom, Yingyi Qian, John RobertsAbstract:In the nineteenth century, the railroad and telegraph were at the center of a set of technological advances, physical investments, and managerial innovations that transformed American industry (Alfred Chandler, 1977). Later, the automobile and telephone played a similar role in another transformation. Today, the high-tech industries include computers, telecommunications, and electronics. Working on our remarkably powerful computers (even as they rapidly become obsolete), co-authoring papers by electronic mail and fax, and conversing on our portable cellular telephones, we are struck by what appears to be a self-supporting and -reinforcing dynamic to the technological improvements across the electronics industries. An advance almost anywhere in the sector seems to call forth more advances across the sector. These advances are occurring contemporaneously with a broad pattern of other changes, not only in the electronics industries, but in Manufacturing more generally, and not just in hardware, but in methods and organization as well. A new paradigm has begun to emerge. In contrast to traditional Manufacturing firms, Modern firms frequently 1) make greater use of flexible, programmable equipment and of computeraided design and Manufacturing technologies, 2) have fewer job classifications, 3) offer more varieties of their major products and/or update their product lines more frequently, 4) put more emphasis on speed in order processing, production, and delivery, 5) hold much lower inventories of intermediate and finished goods, 6) rely on subcontractors to supply a greater proportion of the total value added, and 7) overlap design, product, and process engineering to speed the introduction of new products. These features of Modern Manufacturing firms encompass technology choices, marketing strategies, personnel policies, supplier relations, lines of internal communications, and other operational policies in a far-reaching and coherent pattern whose existence, in the words of Michael Piore (1986), poses a "challenge to economic theory." In a recent paper, Milgrom and Roberts (1990), proposed a theory to explain the emergence of this new paradigm, arguing that the various characteristics and activities described are mutually complementary and so tend to be adopted together, with each making the others more attractive. In that theory, the falling costs of high-speed data communication, data processing, and flexible, multitask equipment lead to increases in the directly affected activities, which through a web of complementarities then lead to increases in a set of related activities as well. Although the costs of flexible machinery and data communication and processing surely have fallen substantially in recent decades, an analysis that takes these changes as exogenous does not constitute a full explanation of the pattern of change that we observe. One must ask: Why are these particular costs falling relative to others? Here we enrich the Milgrom-Roberts analysis by adding a dynamic to it: innovations in the manufacture of basic inputs both arise in response to a growing market for those inputs and simultaneously encourage that growth. This reflects a fundamental complementarity between the level of any activity and investments that reduce its marginal * Department of Economics (Milgrom and Qian) and Graduate School of Business (Roberts), Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

the economics of Modern Manufacturing technology strategy and organization
The American Economic Review, 1990Co-Authors: Paul Milgrom, John RobertsAbstract:Manufacturing is undergoing a revolution. The mass production model is being replaced by a vision of a flexible multiproduct firm that emphasizes quality and speedy response to market conditions while utilizing technologically advanced equipment and new forms of organization. The authors' optimizing model of the firm generates many of the observed patterns that mark Modern Manufacturing. Central to the authors' results is a method of handling optimization and comparative statics problems that requires neither differentiability nor convexity.
