  2. 21. Towards Bridging the Gap Between Strategy and Operations - A Process Based Framework

    Author : Dag Näslund; Teknisk logistik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Logistics; Strategy; Operations; Organizational Change; Middle Manager; Teknik; Technological sciences; Process;

    Abstract : This dissertation is about bridging the gap between strategy and operations in organizations. To bridge that gap, processes are viewed not only from an operational perspective but also from conceptual, as well as a hierarchical perspectives. READ MORE

  4. 22. On the contribution of forest bioenergy to climate change mitigation

    Author : Olivia Cintas Sanchez; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Forest bioenergy; forest management; climate change; energy systems.; GHG balances; forest supply; carbon budget;

    Abstract : Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have to be drastically reduced to keep global warming below 2 degrees. Bioenergy can play a role in climate change mitigation by substituting for fossil fuels. READ MORE

  5. 23. Freight Transportation Operations and Information Sharing

    Author : Henrik Sternberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; RFID; Logistics; Information sharing; Information systems; Transportation;

    Abstract : Freight transportation operations are becoming increasingly complex due to an escalating number of actors and infrastructure capacity bottlenecks. Today’s transportation operations rely on static procedures instead of being actively controlled to achieve effective synchronization of the actors’ operations, resulting in slow responses to events and long waiting times in the transportation setup.

  6. 24. Critical Operations Capabilities for Competitive Manufacturing : A High-Cost Environment Perspective

    Author : Cinzia Sansone; Kerstin Johansen; Carin Rösiö; Dmitrij Slepniov; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; capabilities; priorities; high-cost environment; operations strategy;

    Abstract : Manufacturing companies operating in a high-cost environment are facing many challenges attempting to achieve a competitive advantage. These challenges have encouraged manufacturing companies to relocate their manufacturing operations from a high-cost to low-cost environment, creating issues for the western social welfare.

  7. 25. Waste in road transport operations - using information sharing to increase efficiency

    Author : Henrik Sternberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; road transport operations; transport efficiency; ICT; information sharing; transport information systems; freight transportation; motor carrier;

    Abstract : In terms of efficiency, road transport operations have historically seen very little development relative to other supply chain areas and some authors have even referred to freight transportation as the “forgotten factor.” Several studies world-wide have shown a generally low level of efficiency in road transport operations. The U.S. READ MORE
