Operations management teaching on European MBA programmes
A comprehensive review of the literature established that several investigations
have been made of operations management teaching in the USA, whereas almost
nothing has been published on European teaching. Therefore, an exploratory
investigation was made of operations management teaching on the MBA courses of
ten leading European business schools. The results show that course content is
similar across schools, but there are large variations on three dimensions: the
time allocated by schools to the subject; the balance between operations
strategy and tools and techniques in teaching; and the level of emphasis given
to service operations. The results also indicate the emerging importance of
integrating operations management with other subjects in the MBA curriculum and
the key challenge facing faculty - the need to raise the perceived importance of
operations management. The comparison of courses will be of interest to all
operations management faculty who teach core courses and particularly those who
are looking for ideas on how to re-design courses
Uma proposta de modelagem da lista de materiais Bill of materials' modeling: a proposal
Este trabalho propõe uma nova forma de estruturação da lista de materiais, para empresas fabricantes de bens de capital, apesar dos conceitos gerais serem passĂveis de utilização em outros tipos de companhias de manufatura. A lista de materiais, como elemento fomentador da integração, Ă© modelada com base em necessidades-chave de diversos usuários, desde o orçamento atĂ© a expedição. O objetivo Ă© facilitar as atividades de administração de materiais e gestĂŁo da produção. A metodologia desenvolvida consiste em estruturar uma lista de materiais paralela, delineada em função do organograma fabril da empresa e da seqĂĽĂŞncia de fabricação do produto no tempo. Esses conceitos foram aplicados na formação de grupos de dispositivos dedicados, utilizados na fabricação de hidrogeradores, na SADE VIGESA S/A., fábrica de Araraquara.<br>This paper suggests a new idea to form a Bill of Materials (BOM), for heavy equipment manufacturing companies, with the general concepts applied in others kind of manufacturing companies. The bill of materials, as an essential element of integration, from marketing to delivery, aims to facilitate the activities of Production Planning and of the Control System. The methodology developed is based on a new approach to build parallel bill of materials, using concepts of pseudo levels and assemblies, mainly based on the industrial organizational structure of the company and on the sequence of product fabrication in time. The implementation of this system for dedicated fixtures resulted in expressive reduction of lead time, project hours, fabrication hours and costs
