... of SCRES with other fields, such as engineering and ecology, can help in constructing a global theory of SCRES. Originality/value Bibliometric analysis is used to confirm the SCRES literature gap in the development of an overarching theory, although resilience constitutes one of the main thematic...

... management Engineering Logistics To research the integration of human resource management and manufacturing it is necessary to consider the competitive priorities of manufacturing strategy which are directly related to the competitive potential of this functional area. Two evolutionary stages...

... are jointly determined by engineering design and other activities to varying degrees, and this problem of shared outcomes is only partly reduced by measuring at higher levels of aggregation. Third, there is no definite stopping rule for engineering design activity, yet unambiguous outcome measures rely...

... systems eroded the manufacturing engineering base. Instead of exercising the manufacturing skills needed to develop new facilities and systems, Rover was involved in a relatively simple act of commissioning Honda facilities, albeit within the fabric of an existing plant. Nevertheless, this activity proved...

...G.Q. Huang; K.L. Mak The management of engineering changes (ECs) entails serious resource implications in all manufacturing companies, because nearly all the functions of the organisations will be involved. Indeed, these functions may be the sources and also the victims of ECs. Manufacturing...

..., because it drives them to conform to emerging best practice. The empirical evidence is drawn from a global sample of 79 production units in the engineering industry that revealed consistent orientation to the strategically flexible production, an emerging manufacturing paradigm characterised by three...

...David Twigg This paper examines the product engineering relationships between a vehicle manufacturer and six key suppliers which contribute to the final design of products. The interaction of design information between each supplier and customer is termed a design chain. The paper presents findings...

Provides a conceptual framework for modelling the lead time of business processes in order to design effective re‐engineering. Two levels of lead‐time modelling have been identified: an aggregate level, which accounts...
