Strategic planning of physical distribution systems
In: International journal of physical distribution and logistics management, Band 1, Heft 1, S. 20-25
ISSN: 0020-7527
Because of the marketing role of distribution it is not always appropriate to take a cost minimisation approach to distribution planning — the needs of the market must first be understood.
Salesvans or not? A Case Study
In: International Journal of Physical Distribution & Materials Management, Band 18, Heft 1, S. 23-25
Should small customers be supplied from salesvans? The costs are compared with the traditional practice of salesmen taking orders for subsequent delivery.
A Simple Location Approach to Picking in Small to Medium‐sized Warehouses
In: International Journal of Physical Distribution & Materials Management, Band 18, Heft 7, S. 24-27
The smaller warehouse cannot afford to use the most sophisticated computer systems but here is an introduction to what can be done to improve their picking systems.
A Study of Small Subcontract and Make‐to‐Order Firms in Relation to Quotation for Orders
In: International journal of operations & production management, Band 8, Heft 6, S. 46-59
ISSN: 1758-6593
In 1986 a study was carried out in a number of small companies in the UK that manufacture to customer requirements. The primary objective was to assess the relevance and importance to industry of ideas developed in earlier research at Lancaster University, relating the order quotation process to production and sales. However, in the course of the study a great deal was learnt about the industrial sectors examined.
Identifying the science and technology dimensions of emerging public policy issues through horizon scanning
Public policy requires public support, which in turn implies a need to enable the public not just to understand policy but also to be engaged in its development. Where complex science and technology issues are involved in policy making, this takes time, so it is important to identify emerging issues of this type and prepare engagement plans. In our horizon scanning exercise, we used a modified Delphi technique [1]. A wide group of people with interests in the science and policy interface (drawn from policy makers, policy adviser, practitioners, the private sector and academics) elicited a long list of emergent policy issues in which science and technology would feature strongly and which would also necessitate public engagement as policies are developed. This was then refined to a short list of top priorities for policy makers. Thirty issues were identified within broad areas of business and technology; energy and environment; government, politics and education; health, healthcare, population and aging; information, communication, infrastructure and transport; and public safety and national security.Public policy requires public support, which in turn implies a need to enable the public not just to understand policy but also to be engaged in its development.
