Competitive Priorities as Trade-offs or Mutually Supportive: Can We Call the Question Yet?
As the field of operations strategy matures, we need to refine the theories and abandon weak models through cumulative research. This study contributes to the debate on whether competitive priorities present potential trade-offs or are mutually supportive.
متن کاملCompetitive Priorities: Investigating the Need for Trade-offs in Operations Strategy*
A heated debate continues over the need for trade-offs in operations strategy. Some researchers call for plants to focus on a single manufacturing capability and devote their limited resources accordingly, while others claim that advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) enables concurrent improvements in quality, cost, flexibility, and delivery. Yet there is little empirical evidence for or agai...
متن کاملFunctional complexity can mitigate performance trade-offs.
Trade-offs are believed to impose major constraints on adaptive evolution, and they arise when modification of a trait improves one aspect of performance but incurs a cost in another. Here we show that performance costs that result from competing demands on one trait can be mitigated by compensatory changes in other traits, so long as performance has a complex basis. Numerical simulations indic...
متن کاملSoft Systems and Use-Case Modeling: Mutually Supportive or Mutually Exclusive?
Checkland’s Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) can be used to support strategic planning for business improvement. This involves the development of system models to identify the activities that an organisation must perform to meet its goals. Jacobson’s Use-case modelling in the Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a requirements engineering technique that similarly leads to the identification of sys...
