Journal impact factors
The Journal Impact Factors in Supply Chain Management are an effective tool for comparing the relative influence of supply-chain management journals. These factors are calculated by using data from ten leading academic supply chain management journals and the ISI Web of Science database. The results allow us to compare and contrast the relative influence of journals and their authors in the field.
Journal impact is an important indicator of quality. A high-ranking journal is more likely to have high quality research because it attracts top-quality work. Journal impact factors include the number of citations that a journal receives as well the importance of the journals. The publisher of the Journal is Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., a publishing company based in the United Kingdom.

FAQ
What are the four types of manufacturing?
Manufacturing is the process by which raw materials are transformed into useful products through machines and processes. Manufacturing can include many activities such as designing and building, testing, packaging shipping, selling, servicing, and other related activities.
What does manufacturing industry mean?
Manufacturing Industries are businesses that produce products for sale. These products are sold to consumers. These companies use various processes such as production, distribution, retailing, management, etc., to fulfill this purpose. They make goods from raw materials with machines and other equipment. This covers all types of manufactured goods including clothing, food, building supplies and furniture, as well as electronics, tools, machinery, vehicles and pharmaceuticals.
Is there anything we should know about Manufacturing Processes prior to learning about Logistics.
No. No. But, being familiar with manufacturing processes will give you a better understanding about how logistics works.
What are the main products of logistics?
Logistics refers to all activities that involve moving goods from A to B.
They include all aspects of transport, including packaging, loading, transporting, unloading, storing, warehousing, inventory management, customer service, distribution, returns, and recycling.
Logisticians ensure that the right product reaches the right place at the right time and under safe conditions. Logisticians help companies improve their supply chain efficiency by providing information about demand forecasts and stock levels, production schedules, as well as availability of raw materials.
They monitor shipments in transit, ensure quality standards, manage inventories, replenish orders, coordinate with suppliers and other vendors, and offer support services for sales, marketing, and customer service.

How To
How to Use lean manufacturing in the Production of Goods
Lean manufacturing is a management style that aims to increase efficiency and reduce waste through continuous improvement. It was first developed in Japan in the 1970s/80s by Taiichi Ahno, who was awarded the Toyota Production System (TPS), award from KanjiToyoda, the founder of TPS. Michael L. Watkins published the "The Machine That Changed the World", the first book about lean manufacturing. It was published in 1990.
Lean manufacturing can be described as a set or principles that are used to improve quality, speed and cost of products or services. It emphasizes reducing defects and eliminating waste throughout the value chain. Just-in-time (JIT), zero defect (TPM), and 5S are all examples of lean manufacturing. Lean manufacturing eliminates non-value-added tasks like inspection, rework, waiting.
Lean manufacturing is a way for companies to achieve their goals faster, improve product quality, and lower costs. Lean Manufacturing is one of the most efficient ways to manage the entire value chains, including suppliers and customers as well distributors and retailers. Lean manufacturing is widely used in many industries. Toyota's philosophy, for example, is what has enabled it to be successful in electronics, automobiles, medical devices, healthcare and chemical engineering as well as paper and food.
Lean manufacturing is based on five principles:
-
Define Value - Identify the value your business adds to society and what makes you different from competitors.
-
Reduce waste - Get rid of any activity that does not add value to the supply chain.
-
Create Flow. Ensure that your work is uninterrupted and flows seamlessly.
-
Standardize and simplify – Make processes as repeatable and consistent as possible.
-
Develop Relationships: Establish personal relationships both with internal and external stakeholders.
Lean manufacturing, although not new, has seen renewed interest in the economic sector since 2008. To increase their competitiveness, many businesses have turned to lean manufacturing. In fact, some economists believe that lean manufacturing will be an important factor in economic recovery.
Lean manufacturing is now becoming a common practice in the automotive industry, with many benefits. These include better customer satisfaction and lower inventory levels. They also result in lower operating costs.
It can be applied to any aspect of an organisation. This is because it ensures efficiency and effectiveness in all stages of the value chain.
There are three main types:
-
Just-in Time Manufacturing: This lean manufacturing method is commonly called "pull systems." JIT means that components are assembled at the time of use and not manufactured in advance. This approach reduces lead time, increases availability and reduces inventory.
-
Zero Defects Manufacturing (ZDM): ZDM focuses on ensuring that no defective units leave the manufacturing facility. If a part is required to be repaired on the assembly line, it should not be scrapped. This is also true for finished products that require minor repairs before shipping.
-
Continuous Improvement (CI),: Continuous improvement aims improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations by continuously identifying issues and making changes to reduce waste. Continuous Improvement (CI) involves continuous improvement in processes, people, tools, and infrastructure.
