TL;DR: A review of the existing research in horizontal collaboration, specifically highlighting efforts focussed in the areas of on-demand logistics, freight consolidation, facility sharing, incentives, case studies, and quantitative analyses is offered.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model that assigns workers to tasks within a lean manufacturing cell while minimizing net present cost, and evaluate the effect of increased cross-training on the cell.

TL;DR: Two alternative solution approaches are presented: a list-processing-based heuristic for a simple version of the problem, and a linear-programming-based branch-and-bound procedure for the general component allocation problem.

TL;DR: In this paper, an inter-organizational safety climate instrument for measuring attitudes toward safety of construction industry stakeholders including owners, designers, construction managers, and subcontractors was developed, based on a confirmatory factor analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, a decision support tool is proposed to help users determine appropriate machines and materials for their desired deployable context, where user constraints are separated into process, machine, part, material, environmental, and logistical categories to form a deployable manufacturing framework.
