TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the relationship between quality management practices and their impact on performance and found that there is a significant relationship between management and infrastructure practices and that the results illustrate a direct effect of infrastructure practices on operational performance and of core practices on product quality.

TL;DR: A new formulation of the logistics network design problem encountered in deterministic, single-country,single-period contexts is introduced and when constraints are incorporated in the Benders decomposition algorithm, this offers outstanding reoptimization capabilities.

TL;DR: The results show that although simple decision-making skills can be acquired with traditional teaching methods, simulation games are more effective when students have to develop decision- making abilities for managing complex and dynamic situations.

TL;DR: In industrial management, the 1980s marked the end of the twentieth century, an epoch dominated by US manufacturers, the alleged masters of mass production as mentioned in this paper, and this system has now been outstripped in several dynamic sectors by flexible/agile production, which has made the modern context so dynamic that firms which manage to harness the creativity and initiative of a good part of their workforce have an advantage over those that can only count on the input of their experts and managers.

TL;DR: In this article, a construction heuristic and an adaptive large neighborhood search heuristic for the technician and task scheduling problem arising in a large telecommunications company were proposed, which tied for second place in the 2007 ROADEF challenge.
