Rapid Modelling and Quick Response – Intersection of Theory and Practice
Gerald Reiner (Ed.)
| Résumé |
Rapid Modelling and Quick Response is a proceedings volume of
selected papers presented at the Second Rapid Modelling Conference
“Quick Response – Intersection of Theory and Practice” presents new
research developments, as well as business/teaching cases in the
field of rapid modelling and quick response linked with performance
improvements (based on lead time reduction, etc., as well as
financial performance measures). This volume is a sequel to the
First Rapid Modelling Conference proceedings volume that focused on
rapid modelling for increasing competitiveness. The main focus of
this second proceedings volume “Rapid Modelling and Quick Response
– Intersection of Theory and Practice” is the transfer of knowledge
from theory to practice, providing the theoretical foundations for
successful performance improvement. Furthermore, illustrations will
be given by teaching/business cases, as well as by success stories
about new software tools in this field, and new approaches. The interested reader (researcher, as well as practitioner) will gain a good overview on new developments in this field. This conference volume is a must-have for innovative production managers, as well as for managers of service-providing processes. The theoretical, as well as the empirical/practical, pieces of work presented will change the mindset of the interested reader. Rapid Modelling and Quick Response will also contribute to the scientific communities of operations management, production management, supply chain management, industrial engineering and operations research. This volume and the presented research work, teaching/business cases, as well as software tools, can be also used for the education of students and executive managers. Rapid Modelling and Quick Response is supported by the SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME - THE PEOPLE PROGRAMME - Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways Project (No. 217891) “How revolutionary queuing based modelling software helps keeping jobs in Europe. The creation of a lead time reduction software that increases industry competitiveness and supports academic research." |
