The impact of the Motor Industry Development Programme (MIDP) on the export strategies of the South African light motor vehicle manufacturers (1995-2008)Lamprecht, Norman 11 1900 (has links)
Role-players in the South African automotive industry have responded positively to the Motor Industry Development Programme (MIDP) policy regime. Since 1995, South African light motor vehicle manufacturers (original equipment manufacturers – OEMs) have become fully integrated into the global networks of their foreign parent companies. As South Africa‟s leading manufacturing sector, the increasing importance of the automotive sector is reflected in its exports, investments and contribution to the country‟s gross domestic product.
The objective of this study was to analyse the impact of the MIDP on the export strategies of the South African light motor vehicle manufacturers (1995–2008). The main findings of the research are that, since 1995, the MIDP has been the primary factor impacting on the export strategies of South African OEMs. Without the programme, the industry would not have been able to cope with global competition. It is important to note that without the MIDP there would have been no significant growth in exports from South Africa.
The research found that the country‟s trade arrangements with the EU and the USA have enhanced the impact of the MIDP. It was also found that, given South Africa‟s distance to foreign markets, the most important constraint when accessing these markets is the cost of logistics. In addition, the most important determinant of foreign-market pricing when setting the export price, aligned with the influence of the OEM parent companies, is costs relating to manufacturing, transportation and marketing. The role played by the MIDP in sourcing decisions is the most important factor that has contributed to an increase in light vehicle exports. Furthermore, the perceived level of influence when determining new export destinations would seem to be higher for the US-based and the Japanese-based OEMs than the European-based OEMs.
The new Automotive Production Development Programme (APDP) (to be introduced in 2013), which aims to double vehicle production to 1,2 million units by 2020, will reflect a quantum leap in terms of processes, technologies and the scale on which the domestic industry currently operates. In order for the South African automotive industry to achieve both its and government‟s objectives it will require priority attention. / Business Management / D. Comm. (Business Management))

Kostnadsbesparingar i en alternativ distributionsstruktur - Bra! Men hur? : En fallstudie på Svenssons i Lammhult / An alternative distribution structure to create savings – bad, or amazing? : A case study at Svenssons i LammhultNilsson, Petter, Albrektson, Olle January 2017 (has links)
Bakgrund: Företag kan använda sig av flera olika distributionsprocesser för att leverera produkter till kunder och alla dessa distributionsprocesser innebär olika kostnader, förutsättningar och hinder. Distributionskostnaden består av transport-, hanterings-, lagrings- och informationskostnad och utgör hos många företag en stor andel av de totala produktkostnaderna. Kostnaderna påverkas av hur ett företag väljer att utforma sin distributionsstruktur. Vid utformning av en distributionsstruktur finns det även vissa faktorer att ta hänsyn till, såsom olika kundkrav. Dessa faktorer och kostnader behöver samlas i ett ramverk för att kunna utgöra beslutsunderlag för företag. Syfte: Studien syftar till att utveckla ett teoretiskt ramverk för val av distributionsstruktur. Vidare syftar studien till att applicera ramverket på fallföretaget för att demonstrera hur ramverket kan tillämpas och branschanpassas. Slutligen redovisas möjliga kostnadsbesparingar för fallföretaget och en handlingsplan för att uppnå besparingarna. Tillvägagångssätt: Studien är en fallstudie på möbelåterförsäljaren Svenssons i Lammhult. Utifrån intervjuer och observationer har fallföretagets nuläge kartlagts i form av en processkarta. Därefter har ett teoretiskt ramverk för val av distributionsstruktur utformats och tillsammans med nulägesbeskrivningen har kostnader för alternativa distributionsprocesser beräknats på 30 utvalda produkter. Utifrån kostnadsberäkningarna har en ny distributionsstruktur presenterats tillsammans med en handlingsplan för en övergång till den nya distributionsstrukturen. Slutsats: Den största kostnadsbesparingen, cirka 2.000.000 kr, uppnås vid en övergång till direktleverans för de hemlevererade produkter som i dagsläget endast skickas med produkter från en leverantör. Vidare kostnadsbesparingar är uppnåbara genom att distribuera mindre produkter via upphämtningsplats istället för att dessa levereras hem till kund. För att implementera dessa förändringar kan förhandlingar med leverantörer krävas och kostnader för integrerade informationssystem kan uppstå. / Background: Companies can use a variety of distribution processes in order to deliver their products to their customers and all of these distribution processes results in different costs. The distribution costs are transport, handling, storage and information costs and these costs constitute a large share of the total product cost for many companies. Depending on how a company designs their distribution structure the resulting cost varies. There are also several factors that influence the design of a distribution structure, such as various customer requirements. When gathering these factors and costs in a framework it is possible to use the framework when making business decisions. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to develop a theoretical framework designed to choose a distribution structure. Furthermore, the framework will be applied on the case company in order to demonstrate how the framework can be applied on the case company and adapted to an industry. Lastly, possible savings for the case company will be demonstrated and an action plan for reaching these savings will be presented. Methodology: The study is a case study at the furniture retailer Svenssons i Lammhult. A current state map has been created through interviews and observations at the case company. Thereafter a theoretical framework for choosing a distribution structure has been developed, and by using the current state map, cost calculations for alternative distribution processes has been carried out on 30 selected products. Based on the cost calculations a new distribution structure and an action plan has been presented. Conclusions: The largest savings, about 2.000.000 SEK, can be achieved by a transition to direct delivery for home delivered products that are being ordered with products from a single supplier. Further cost savings can be achieved by distributing smaller products through pickup points instead of home delivery. To implement these changes the case company needs to negotiate with their suppliers and investigate costs for implementing integrated information systems with their suppliers.K

[en] A PROPOSAL FOR REDESIGN OF THE PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION NETWORK / [pt] UMA PROPOSTA DE REFORMULAÇÃO DA REDE DE DISTRIBUIÇÃO DE PRODUTOSPAULO MARCIO SIQUEIRA DE AGUIAR 25 October 2005 (has links)
[pt] O contínuo processo de transformação do mercado faz com
que as empresas
não pensem unicamente em si mesmas, mas em toda a cadeia
de suprimentos, na
qual estão inseridas. Atualmente, a principal meta é a
redução dos seus diversos
custos de distribuição, fazendo uso de novas tecnologias
ou melhores sistemas,
sem esquecer de manter ou melhorar o seu nível de serviço.
Este trabalho
considera um sistema de distribuição física constituído
por um centro de
distribuição (CD) e 44 furgões. A partir do CD os furgões
atendem diariamente
todos os clientes situados na Região Metropolitana do Rio
de Janeiro. Nesta
dissertação serão examinadas algumas propostas de
configuração da rede de
distribuição porta-a-porta de uma grande empresa
industrial, na Região
Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, para se chegar a menores
custos, desperdícios e
maior eficiência. O sistema atual é avaliado e diversas
configurações de
modificação na estrutura do sistema são examinadas,
incluindo a colocação de um
ou mais depósitos regionalizados, dentro da Região
Metropolitana do Rio de
Janeiro, auxiliando o depósito central (CD Principal), de
modo a reduzir as
distâncias percorridas, reduzir a frota e melhorar o
atendimento aos clientes. Após
a montagem das configurações, são feitas três análises
para examinar as variações
dos custos logísticos, dependendo da evolução da demanda e
de
congestionamentos resultantes nas vias da Região
Metropolitana. O trabalho
conclui mostrando que o aumento de custos das estruturas
propostas, com mais
um único depósito avançado, pode ser recompensado com
ganhos operacionais e
mercadológicos. A consideração de cenários futuros, com
maiores custos de
combustíveis e maiores congestionamentos reforça a
proposta, sem chegar a
viabilizar a proliferação dos depósitos avançados. / [en] The continuous process of transformation of the market
forces the
companies to think not only on themselves, but on the
whole supply chain, in
which they are inserted. Currently, the main goal is the
reduction of their diverse
costs of distribution, making use of new technologies or
better systems, without
forgetting to keep or improving its level of service. This
study considers a
physical distribution system that operates with one
distribution center (DC) and
44 small trucks. Departing everyday from the DC the trucks
supply all customers
that belong to the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro.
In this thesis some
proposals for the door-to-door configuration of the
distribution network of a great
industrial company will be examined, in the Metropolitan
Area of Rio de Janeiro,
to reach lower costs, less waste and greater efficiency.
The current system is
evaluated and diverse configurations of modification in
the system`s structure are
examined, including the introduction of one or more
deposits, in the Metropolitan
Area, assisting the central deposit, in order to reduce
the traveled distances, to
reduce the fleet and to improve the customer`s attendance.
After the assembly of
the configurations, and considering various scenarios of
evolution of demand and
increase of traffic congestion, analyses are made to
examine the variations of the
logistics costs. The thesis goes to showing that the
increase in the costs of an
additional advanced warehouse, can be paid with
operational and marketing
profits. The consideration of future scenarios with larger
fuel costs and more
dramatic traffic congestion shall reinforce the proposal
of one warehouse but yet
do not recommend the proliferation of them.

[pt] Esta dissertação aborda a concepção do uso de auditoria interna no contexto da gestão de riscos da cadeia de suprimentos, como mecanismo que agrega valor à organização. O gerenciamento de riscos da cadeia de suprimentos consiste na identificação e na gestão dos riscos da cadeia de suprimentos com a finalidade de se reduzir vulnerabilidades na cadeia de suprimentos. O objetivo da auditoria interna é realizar recomendações de modo que se promovam a eficiência e a eficácia das operações e auxiliar a organização a atingir os objetivos do negócio e, dessa forma, corrobora com a gestão de riscos. Esta dissertação tem em vista o problema de gestão de clientes de uma empresa do ramo de gases industriais e medicinais. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a gestão de suprimentos desta empresa mostrando que, por meio da segmentação de clientes aplicando técnica Holt-Winters (HW) de previsão de demanda, é possível obterem-se reduções de custos logísticos ao se utilizar da gestão por Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI). Os resultados da pesquisa apresentam uma visão geral de como e o que pode ser feito pela auditoria interna, a fim de que pesquisadores e gestores possam se beneficiar deste trabalho ao utilizar os conceitos e o conteúdo compilados no documento como subsídio a estudos de maior alcance, à realização de auditorias e à gestão de riscos no tema. Ganhos relacionados à redução de custos foram obtidos pela empresa estudada, reforçando assim a contribuição dos resultados deste trabalho para a indústria. / [en] This Master s Thesis deals with the use of internal audit within the context of Supply Chain Risk Management, as an adding value mechanism to the organization. Supply Chain Risk Management relies on the identification and management of supply chain risks in order to reduce vulnerabilities along the supply chain. The purpose of internal auditing is to make recommendations that promote the efficiency and effectiveness of operations that can help the organization to achieve business goals and thereby corroborate with risk management. The purpose of this research is to analyze the supply management being adequately provisioned to customers showing that with the use of Holt-Winters (HW) demand-forecasting it is possible to highlight the customers with the implementation of the Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) method in order to reduce logistics costs. The results present an overview of how and what can be done by internal audit, in order that academic researchers and managers can benefit from this work by using the concepts and content brought together in the document as a subsidy to further studies, audit practices and overall risk management. Gains related to the cost reduction were also obtained within the studied corporation, reinforcing the contribution of this study s results to the industry.

Supply Chain Event Management – Bedarf, Systemarchitektur und Nutzen aus Perspektive fokaler Unternehmen der ModeindustrieTröger, Ralph 10 November 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) bezeichnet eine Teildisziplin des Supply Chain Management und ist für Unternehmen ein Ansatzpunkt, durch frühzeitige Reaktion auf kritische Ausnahmeereignisse in der Wertschöpfungskette Logistikleistung und -kosten zu optimieren.
Durch Rahmenbedingungen wie bspw. globale Logistikstrukturen, eine hohe Artikelvielfalt und volatile Geschäftsbeziehungen zählt die Modeindustrie zu den Branchen, die für kritische Störereignisse besonders anfällig ist. In diesem Sinne untersucht die vorliegende Dissertation nach einer Beleuchtung der wesentlichen Grundlagen zunächst, inwiefern es in der Modeindustrie tatsächlich einen Bedarf an SCEM-Systemen gibt.
Anknüpfend daran zeigt sie nach einer Darstellung bisheriger SCEM-Architekturkonzepte Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für eine Systemarchitektur auf, die auf den Designprinzipien der Serviceorientierung beruht. In diesem Rahmen erfolgt u. a. auch die Identifikation SCEM-relevanter Business Services. Die Vorzüge einer serviceorientierten Gestaltung werden detailliert anhand der EPCIS (EPC Information Services)-Spezifikation illustriert.
Abgerundet wird die Arbeit durch eine Betrachtung der Nutzenpotenziale von SCEM-Systemen. Nach einer Darstellung von Ansätzen, welche zur Nutzenbestimmung infrage kommen, wird der Nutzen anhand eines Praxisbeispiels aufgezeigt und fließt zusammen mit den Ergebnissen einer Literaturrecherche in eine Konsolidierung von SCEM-Nutzeffekten. Hierbei wird auch beleuchtet, welche zusätzlichen Vorteile sich für Unternehmen durch eine serviceorientierte Architekturgestaltung bieten.
In der Schlussbetrachtung werden die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse der Arbeit zusammengefasst und in einem Ausblick sowohl beleuchtet, welche Relevanz die Ergebnisse der Arbeit für die Bewältigung künftiger Herausforderungen innehaben als auch welche Anknüpfungspunkte sich für anschließende Forschungsarbeiten ergeben.
