TL;DR: This paper relates product characteristics to supply chain strategy and adopt supply chain operations reference (SCOR) model level I performance metrics as the decision criteria and develops an integrated analytic hierarchy process and preemptive goal programming based multi-criteria decision-making methodology.

TL;DR: A typology for designing supply chains that work in harmony to design, produce, and deliver products with different characteristics and customer expectations is described.

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology is presented for productivity measurement and analysis at the factory level, which is based on the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and overall throughput effectiveness (OTE).

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach based on overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is developed to model the productivity of a manufacturing system in terms of overall throughput effectiveness (OTE), where sensitivity analysis and theory of constraints are used to identify productivity improvement opportunities.

TL;DR: A hierarchical method, computer system, and computer product for causally relating productivity to a complex manufacturing system to provide an integrated analysis of the system which measures, monitors, analyzes and, optionally, simulates performance of the complex manufacturing systems based on a common set of productivity metrics for throughput effectiveness, throughput, cycle time effectiveness, and inventory as mentioned in this paper.
