“…Para esto, además de sistemas de producción y fabricación flexibles, las organizaciones deben estar configuradas para conseguir un alto nivel de diferenciación a través de la flexibilidad en la logística (Costantino et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2016). Tradicionalmente, los sistemas de manipulación de materiales y de distribución de productos no están diseñados para ser flexibles (Wong et al, 2007). Sin embargo, la marcada tendencia hacia la mayor fabricación de variabilidad de productos y de menor volumen de producción, los ciclos de vida más cortos de los productos, la alta valoración por parte del cliente del menor tiempo de entrega y del aumento de la velocidad con la que se mueve la mercancía a través de la cadena de suministro, son cuestiones que enfatizan en la necesidad de aumentar la flexibilidad logística (Wong et al, 2007).…”

Mediante la flexibilidad logística, las empresas pueden reducir los efectos negativos de la variabilidad del entorno y de las ineficiencias del proceso productivo y del transporte (Wong et al, 2007;Costantino et al, 2014).…”

Este artículo analiza el estado actual de la investigación sobre la Segmentación de Clientes (SC) y la Flexibilidad de la Cadena de Suministro (FCS). Para ello se realiza una revisión sistemática de 38 artículos que tratan sobre la relación entre SC y FCS. A partir de este análisis se destaca el consenso sobre la existencia de una relación positiva entre SC y FCS. También se destaca el desafío futuro que presenta la investigación sobre la utilización de estrategias de Microsegmentación de Clientes (MSC), como son la personalización y personalización en masa, como respuesta productiva a la necesidad de FCS.

“…Ahkioon et al (2009) provided in-depth discussions on the trade-off between increased flexibility versus additional cost due to machines procurement. Wong et al (2007) explained how on-line reconfiguration can help to enhance the operational and recovery routing flexibilities of automated material handling equipment. Orady et al (1995) developed an algorithm to help in making decisions in the selection of alternative designs of materials handling systems.…”

Design for sustainable manufacturing enterprise (DFSME) is considered to be a new ideologue regarding survival of manufacturing enterprise and it can also be considered as one of the most important solutions to deal with the existing global financial crisis. The DFSME is a systemic approach that simultaneously determines the aspects of sustainability and how they can be aggregated taking into consideration the globalisation issues. The problem addressed in this paper is how to present the concepts of sustainability to guide manufacturing enterprises analysts and designers with the most effective aspects for analysing sustainability. These aspects are: international issues; contemporary issues; innovative products; reconfigurable manufacturing systems; manufacturing strategies; business models; flexible organisation management; manufacturing strategies and performance measurements. Based on these aspects, the sustainable model will be analysed and presented through covering all aspects of sustainable manufacturing enterprise and the sustainability assessment will be measured. The ultimate goal of this paper is to consider the needs of manufacturing enterprise throughout most of the world to be sustainable as well as to be globalised enterprises. This analysis shows that the DFSME is a very large task and should be taken into consideration as one aspect of the next industrial revolution.

“…As shown, AM is very particular about quickly responding to customers' dynamic demands whereas MC literature has not emphasised much about a quick response (Brown and Bessant 2003, Jin-Hai et al 2003, Wong et al 2007. A careful study would indicate that if both concepts are amalgamated, then the goals of AM would be met effectively.…”

This paper reports a research which was pursued with the purpose of indicating the need of amalgamating mass customisation and agile manufacturing principles for achieving competitiveness in organisations. The research findings and observations on these principles were used to design a model named as agile customisation programme. The implementation study of this programme was conducted in an electronics switches manufacturing company situated in India. The practical implications of this programme were studied by gathering feedback from the executives of this company. The details of these works are briefly presented in this paper. Further, the practical implications were used to propose a roadmap. Future researchers may adopt this roadmap and implement this programme in various types and sizes of companies. The performance of this programme in those companies shall be measured using agile manufacturing metrics such as responsiveness, time compression, quality improvement and profitability.
