Abstract

Increasing waste and scraps reflects low productivity as ratio input to output reduces. By all means, organizations are required to kick in with ultimate objective of cost reduction through process change to improve speed, low cost raw materials, revised preventive maintenance, and manpower reduction. Asian practitioners and western practitioners develop new approach to minimize waste and be cost effective in production. In the new millennium, the established methods developed in 20th century dont seem to suffice as demand volume increases. The call for the fusion of different methods to harvest the best of different methodologies has begun. Tools and approach used are not just effective but improve robustness in production processes as well.

Abstract

This paper is part of a study that sought to establish factors that affect effectiveness of the procurement process in water companies. The particular factors identified were documentation, electronic procurement, staff training, government policy and procurement ethics. The paper supports the perspective that ethical practices in the procurement process are a key pillar of its effectiveness. The paper proposes that an ethical based and effective procurement process can be built on the regulatory, corporate and functional legal framework for the benefit of all stakeholders in the water sector. The researchers adopted a descriptive research design. The analysis involved primary data obtained through questionnaires, interviews and secondary data which was obtained from relevant journals and books. The study was based on Embu Water and Sanitation Company, a leading water company whose core business is to provide clean drinking water in Embu County and its environs. It was evident from the findings that EWASCO procurement process was not effective as indicated by 88 percent of the responses. It was also found that the firm had no staff training on policy of the process with majority of the staff involved in procurement just relying on seminar trainings to run the procurement unit. The procurement department did not even have any ethical code to guide the staff involved in the process.The findings from the research confirmed that there is need to establish training programs as well as maintaining high organizational culture through strong codes of ethics. Overall there was the felt need to distribute and train personnel on the Public Procurement and Disposal Act policies and procedures. This study contributes to our knowledge on procurement process by presenting the key role of ethics on effective procurement process through personnel training on public procurement policies and procedures more so ethical regulations.

Abstract

AbstractThis paper describes the relationship between supply chain information management and service delivery efficiency in public health sector organizations. The three specific objectives of this paper are to: examine the relationship between supply chain information processing and service delivery; assess the relationship between supply chain information storage and service delivery; and lastly, to evaluate the relationship between supply chain information flow and service delivery. The researcher employed a positivist approach using a descriptive, case study and correlational designs. Using a researchers made five point Likert scale questionnaire, data was collected from a sample of 148 respondents. Of these, 56 respondents were from the National Medical Stores (NMS), while 92 were from supplementary sources (Mulago Hospital and Kisenyi Health Centre IV). Data was analyzed using means, and the Pearson Linear Correlation Coefficient. Findings revealed that, supply chain information management was at an average mean of 3.97, interpreted as high, while service delivery management was at an average mean of 2.94, interpreted as moderate. Correlation results on the other hand, indicated a positive and significant relationship between supply chain information management and service delivery of r-value 76% and Sig. value of 0.002. In light of this, the researcher therefore, concluded that supply chain information management positively contributes to service delivery, and that NMS should continue investing in the management of information within its supply chain process if it is to maximize services delivery.

Abstract

The study provides empirical evidence of the importance of various vertical coordination variables needed for the effective implementation of vertically coordinated supply chain approach in vegetable industry for the measurement of efficient accessibility of vertical coordination effect benefits. Survey methodology has been used to collect data. Neural network model has been used to know the importance of vertical coordination variables as well the relation of vertical coordination variables with the vertical coordination effect variables. This study contributes to the literature by exploring the importance of various variables extracted from literatures which is applied specific five vegetables namely potato, brinjal, cabbage, cauliflower and okra. The participants involved in study are producers only and limited to the Odisha. Findings have very clearly mentioned the importance of variables. Further this can get used by the govt. organizations for policy formulation as well for the decision process in providing the input facility support. The outcome can be beneficial to other vegetable supply chain participants like intermediaries and entrepreneurs engaged in value addition and processing of vegetables. This study is one step further contribution to the body of knowledge on vegetable supply chain vertical coordination approach.

Abstract

The public procurement system in Kenya has never been subjected to negative publicity as in the recent past. This has been so due to the over reported mega corruption related cases though in many cases no evidence has ever been produced before any of the statutory procurement bodies. Is it a case of wind blowing in place of whistle blowing? Or are Kenyans suffering from procurement nightmare culture? This article therefore explores the state of procurement system in the country and concludes that despite public outcry in many cases the public cares less about facts since most of the procurement corruption scandals in the Kenyan scene are just media creations and politically engineered to malign one side of the political divide as politicians seek to outwit each other.

Abstract

For promoting material circulation by recycling and preventing global warming caused by CO2 emissions simultaneously, it is essential for recycling factories of end-of-life assembly products to economically disassemble and recover the parts/materials with higher CO2 volumes which can save the CO2 emissions comparing to produce the same virgin parts/materials.This paper proposes a disassembly system design with an optimal environmental and economic parts selection which harmonizes a CO2 saving rate and recycling cost using a Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database. The first stage is to optimize the environmental and economic parts selection by the integer programming with ε constraint, and the second stage is to carry out the disassembly line balancing for minimizing the number of stations.

Abstract

In age of technology, the effectiveness of technical manager is keenly sought towards organizational growth and competitive advantage. Technical managers require a special combination of knowledge about science and technology to acquire respect, knowledge about behaviour, and skills to lead. This research presents a unique point of view, backed by empirical data analysis on how five key competencies, other than technology know-how impacts overall effectiveness of technical managers in Information Technology IT industry. A structural equation model (SEM) mines complex interdependencies amongst competency clusters which yield managerial effectiveness directly or indirectly. The survey instruments were employed on 520 technical managers from various technology centric departments across 19 IT organizations. Statistical techniques used include exploratory factor analysis (EFA); confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). The role of project management, emotional intelligence (EI), domain knowledge, ethical values and business skills besides technical acumen is presented. Research findings are expected to help organizations in selection and development of technical managerial talent, and individuals towards self realization and self development.

Abstract

Abstract Supply chain facilities, specifically manufacturing plants that are located near urban areas, are often regulated by distinct local municipalities, state ordinances and federal regulations. This transcript highlights one of the more heavily regulated type of facilities - a meat food processing plant that requires a special permit for its industrial use of sewer services as it meets one or more criteria of select discharge regulations. This type of facility is heavily regulated by a local municipality to avoid water shortages and is using penalties and taxes to encourage conservation and raise revenue. For scenario description purposes, we highlight sample data from a plant facility in the east coast in the lower southeastern part of the United States. We incorporate the tax and penalty scenario from a municipality in the state of Georgia. This research describes the steps and processes used by the plant facility to make certain that it complies with the rules and regulations of the sewer service permit, along with ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and policies, while providing evidence of the economic benefits for plant facilities to incorporate sustainable practices in the overall wastewater treatment process.

Abstract

Sell-through is a widely used performance metric in retail supply chains, but limited empirical research exists about its validity for that purpose, given its dependence on many different variables. This study analyses to what extent sell-through is influenced by fixed store attributes (e.g. store size), and what impact on this metric operational management decisions (e.g. replenishment) have. Using data collected from a fashion retailer, a sales model was developed to estimate the statistical contribution of the different types of impacts to sell-through. Results of the study provided strong empirical evidence that fixed store attributes such as store size can impact significantly sell-through levels. Operational management decisions also have a statistically significant impact on sell-through, but to a much smaller extent. This makes sell-through more valuable for compare performance when fixed store attributes are not differential.
