measured familiarity with markets and various scientific capabilities and shortcomings of each enterprise, requiring periodic and ongoing studies of its function is the board. without these studies, the possibility of improving the performance of a firm will not be there. tools to implement this important and sensitive process, is marketing audit that is a broad and comprehensive research on th...

Job shop scheduling problems occurs in automobile industry, aerospace industry, printing industry, and chemical industry. Job shop scheduling problems are real world and complex. The present work assesses the effect of change in setup times levels on make span, maximum flow time and maximum tardiness measures. The model of the job shop is developed in PROMODEL simulation software. Three levels ...

The various industries such as automobile industry, aerospace industry, printing industry, and chemical industry operate on job shop system. Job shop scheduling problems are complex and real world. The present work assesses the effect of change in shop utilizations levels on total setups and mean setup time measures. The simulation model of the job shop is developed for investigation purpose. T...

The quality of the used car market is, however, more than a laughing matter. It i s a $33 billion-a-year industry-as large as the new car market. It isalso an industry that i s relatively important to the well-being of the poorer of us. Next to housing, the automobile is the most expensive purchase most people make. And the poorer you are the more likely it is that you will have to make that pu...

Petrol powered traffic has replaced domestic heating and industry as the main causes for urban air pollution (Colvile, Hutchinson, Mindell, & Warren, 2001). Automobile combustion engines are responsible for the better part of a city’s CO2 and NOX pollutants. The amount of pollutants emitted by a vehicle largely depends on fuel consumption: the more fuel the vehicle consumes, the higher its emis...

Sustainability risk for global production networks can be considered more important than ever due to its distributed nature. The automobile industry relies heavily on its global supply networks. Nevertheless, little is being done to improve the sustainability of complex production environments. In practice, there is a number of factors that regulate the sustainability risk in any industry, and ...

This paper considers the economics of digitalisation, defined as the digital coding of information and the growing productivity gains in processing and transmission it enables. It examines the effects of this process on existing models of the firm, industry structure and innovation. The diffusion and adoption of digital innovations are then illustrated by the example of the automobile industry....

In this paper, we consider how rich sources of information on consumer choice can help to identify demand parameters in a widely-used class of differentiated products demand models. Most importantly, we show how to use “second-choice” data on automotive purchases to obtain good estimates of substitution patterns in the automobile industry. We use our estimates to make out-of-sample predictions ...

In recent years, the management issue in the Japanese automobile industry playing a key role in Japanese manufacturing is “worldwide uniform quality and simultaneous production launch,” in response to current globalization. In this corporate management environment, the “key to success in global production” is the reinforcement of product power, or the “simultaneous achievement of QCD.” In order...
