International Operations Management


Book Description

International Operations Management: Lessons in Global Business uses a fascinating selection of case studies researched during the 'International Operations Management Project', sponsored by the European Commission, to produce a valuable view of businesses in Western and Eastern traditions. Ranging from China Post and Flextronics International (Singapore) to Electrolux, Ford, and GlaxoSmithKline, the studies link conceptual and practical approaches in five areas: international operations management strategy, sourcing and manufacturing, new product development, logistics, and networked organisations. Throughout, the authors compare the Western and Eastern approaches to business, and introduce theory to clarify the comparison and the real consequences of internationalisation. With its balance of theoretical and applied content, this volume, created from an exciting collaboration between universities and schools of management in Europe and China, serves as both a primary and supplementary source for higher level students and educators, and as a worthwhile read for interested practitioners.

Logística y operaciones en la empresa


Book Description

La logística permite que le producto adquiera su valor cuando el cliente lo recibe en el tiempo y en la forma adecuada al menor coste posible, resolviendo así el clásico desajuste en el ciclo productivo entre la producción y el consumo, como consecuencia de la separación espacial y temporal de ambas fases, tema especialmente relevante en estos tiempos en que la separación es cada vez mayor debido a la globalización de los consumidores y a los procesos de deslocalización. La gestión de la cadena de suministro es el conjunto de estrategias a través de las cuales se gestionan las actividades y empresas que la integran. Esto nos lleva a la colaboración para la mejora de procesos, viendo a las empresas como una sola para alcanzar un beneficio global. Además, la gestión de la cadena de suministro incorpora otras actividades como la gestión de recursos humanos, infraestructuras, administración, mantenimiento, así como la consideración del aporte imprescindible de las nuevas tecnologías y los sistemas de información. La logística integral parece evolucionar hacia el concepto de operaciones fluidas de distribución y producción, avanzando en la integración funcional y en la eficiencia operacional, llegando a la consecución de ventajas competitivas sostenibles. Es importante enmarcar las actividades logísticas y de distribución comercial en un entorno económico cambiante y de globalización, teniendo siempre en el punto de mira al cliente, consumidor y usuario para conocer sus valores, necesidades y expectativas. En cualquier caso, el gerente logístico debe ser capaz de demostrar el impacto de la gestión y mejora de las operaciones en la organización como generador de valor. Ignacio Soret es ingeniero superior de Telecomunicaciones y doctor en Economía de la Empresa. Actualmente dirige l Dpto. de Investigación de ESIC Business&Marketing School, director del Master en Dirección de Logística y Distribución Comercial y profesor de las áreas de grado y postgrado de la misma Escuela.
