Critical success factors of medical technology supply chains

This paper investigates Critical Success Factors that affect the performance of organizations involved in Medical Technology supply chains (MTSCs) in Germany. The Medical Technology sector in Germany is considered an innovative, fast-growing and promising industry, being third behind the USA and China as the biggest market in the world, worth 29.9 billion euros in 2017. MTSCs in this country are under pressure from health service funding and cheaper imports, primarily from China. Consequently, supply chain success is of high importance and OEM operational improvements are critical. This exploratory study involved a multiple case study approach where 15 OEMs within German MTSCs were investigated. Following within-case and cross-case analysis, empirical results led to the development of testable propositions, which constitute a foundation for further research investigation. The findings show that there are six, prioritized Critical Success Factors for MTSCs that include sales and operations planning, product development process and quality and compliance. These findings challenge existing assumptions about Critical Success Factors within MTSCs, providing practitioners with strategies showing that re-prioritized CSFs should improve the operational performance of OEMs.     

供应商产出随机与供应中断下的双源采购决策

研究在需求与供应不确定条件下,一个制造商向两个存在产出随机和供应中断可能性的供应商采购零部件时的最优决策问题。论文分别针对两种情况：（1）只考虑供应商产出随机,（2）同时考虑供应商产出随机与供应中断可能性,建立了两种情况下制造商与两个供应商之间的博弈模型,证明了在两种情况下,制造商均存在最优订货量、供应商存在最优生产量使自身利润最优。研究发现,供应商产出稳定性的改善（即产出随机性降低）不仅可以使自身获得更大的利润,也使制造商获得更大的利润。供应商最优生产量随着自身产出随机性降低先增后减。同时,供应商供应中断可能性的降低会为自身带来更大的收益,也为制造商带来更大的收益。

Devalued, deskilled and diversified: explaining the proliferation of the strip industry in the UK

This paper looks beyond the debates that focus on the objectification of the female body to examine the question as to why strip clubs have proliferated and found a permanent place in the night-time economy in the UK. Using empirical qualitative and quantitative data from the largest study into the strip industry in the UK to date, we challenge the common assumption that 'demand' is responsible for the rise in erotic dance. Instead, we argue that the proliferation of strip clubs is largely due to the internal economic structures of the industry which have developed partly in response to the financial crisis beginning in 2008. First, we argue that clubs profit from individual dancers through an exploitative system of fees and fines, rendering a strip club business a low cost investment with high returns and little risk to club owners. Second, we note that the last decade has seen diversification of the industry accompanied by deskilling and devaluing of dancing and dancers' labour. Third, we demonstrate that despite the negative effects of these changes on workers, there has been an expansion of the industry as the ability to make profit, even during a financial crisis was ensured through the transferral of risk to workers. Overall, we suggest that far from proliferating as a response to demand, the industry has maintained its market presence due to its ability to establish highly financially exploitation employment relationships with dancers at a time of economic fragility.
