The Holonic Production System: a Multi Agent Simulation Approach
2010
Today’s turbulent markets are facing unpredictable and sudden variations in demand. In this context, the Holonic Production System (HPS) seems to be able to overcome the operational and economic problems of traditional production systems. The HPS’ ability to adapt and react to business environment changes, whilst maintaining systemic synergies and coordination, leverage on its network organizational structure, assuring both flexibility and profitability. In this paper we study HPS experimentally, modeling holon-firms as agents. In our simulation, holon-firms interact both with each other and with the external environment without predetermined hierarchies and following their own aims and int…
Inversión en Investigación, Desarrollo, Maquinaria y Equipo: Desempeño de la Industria Panificadora
2020
La inversión en actividades de investigación y desarrollo, maquinaria, equipo que permiten la construcción de procesos de innovación en el sector panificador han demostrado mejorar notablemente el desempeño corporativo. En la presente investigación se analizan estas inversiones, en 68 organizaciones del sector panificador, descubriendo el efecto de estas inversiones en investigación y desarrollo, así como en tecnología asociada a maquinaria y equipos; logrando reconocer el impacto positivo para el sector panificador de ambas inversiones, especialmente en una industria con importantes barreras a la innovación y un sistema productivo tradicional. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la importan…
Statistical performance of a multiclass bulk production queueing system
2004
Abstract In this paper, we discuss how to statistically analyze a make-to-stock production system the behaviour of which depends on a multiclass bulk queueing system. The performance of the system is evaluated in terms of the different demands of products, processing times and, mainly, through the finished product inventory and other related measures that quantify the queueing effects in the system. A numerical example which illustrates the applicability of the results in an inventory scenario is also discussed.
Approccio olonico e sistema logistico-produttivo aziendale per i mercati del XXI secolo
2008
L’impresa industriale deve oggi far fronte a problematiche di rapidità ed efficacia di gestione dei processi, in presenza di frequenti disturbi e cambiamenti negli ordini di produzione. La gestione della Supply Chain (SCM) deve tenere conto di queste tendenze e trovare un paradigma organizzativo-gestionale in grado di fornire all’azienda la richiesta agilità e capacità di sincronizzazione del sistema logistico-produttivo con le nuove caratteristiche dei mercati. Ne i sistemi gerarchici ne quelli eterarchici sono in grado di soddisfare questi requisiti, mancando della necessaria agilità i primi e della capacità di garantire la prevedibilità necessaria alla sincronizzazione i secondi. L'idea …

Funding Information: We are thankful to the GlobBiomass project team and Frank Martin Seifert (ESA) for valuable suggestions and stimulating scientific discussions. We are thankful to Takeo Tadono (JAXA EORC), Masato Hayashi, (JAXA EORC), Kazufumi Kobayashi (RESTEC), Åke Rosenqvist (soloEO), and Josef Kellndorfer (EBD) for support with the use and interpretation of the ALOS PALSAR mosaics. Support by the CCI Land Cover project team, in particular Sophie Bontemps (UCL), is greatly acknowledged. The help from Martin Jung (MPI-BGC) in feature selection and Ulrich Weber (MPI-BGC) for data processing for the GSV-to-AGB conversions is greatly acknowledged. Forest inventory data for the validation…
Managing adoption by cultural development: Exploring the plant level effect of a ‘Company Specific Production System’ (XPS) in a Norwegian multinatio…
2020
Purpose: ‘Company Specific Production Systems’ (XPS) aim to adopt ‘best practice’ across plants within a company. A pertinent issue in the literature involves the constraints in the possibilities of realising such an adoption. This paper addresses to what extent and how a Norwegian multinational succeeded in adopting the XPS in its local plants. Design/methodology/approach: A Brazilian, Chinese and Norwegian plant of a Norwegian electro-chemical company were studied from 2017 to 2019. Our data consist of the results of the plant’s assessment performance program, combined with interviews and observations at different organizational levels. Findings: The MNC had largely managed to adopt the X…
