However, they often do not have the background required to understand, evaluate and select models. This paper briefly outlines when to use such model-driven methods and then suggests a framework that can be used by decision makers when specifying model requirements and evaluating models proposed by modeling experts. There is a need for such a framework in order to improve communication between decision makers and modeling experts, the two groups normally having quite different backgrounds. In order to exemplify the use of mathematical models in supply chain related decisions and to apply the framework as a means of describing the models used, several cases are presented.

This paper arg ues that bu siness games are a n alternative to "traditional" discrete -event and continuous simulation method s for analysing complex supply c hain problems. Business games capture the organizational and human aspects in supply chain problems that are difficult to model with traditional simulation methods. The comput erized version of the Beer Game is an example of the use of business games in sup ply chain decision making. The r ecomm endation of business games is based on a simulation application su rvey carried out by the authors and the theoretical approach of Flood and Jackson (1991).

A total of 80 applications published in Interfaces were reviewed in order to identify the decisions supported, their horizon, and their system boundary. The references to the papers reporting on these applications are included in the paper. Most OR applications were found in short-term production planning and scheduling, plant location and physical distribution system design, production system design, and master planning. Other areas, such as supplier selection and business process design, had few or no applications. While the survey sample does not allow generalizations, the unequal distribution of applications suggests that there is a rather clearly defined set of decision areas that are regularly supported by operational research. Findings also suggest that not only operational, but also certain strategic decisions, such as plant location, plant capacity and equipment capacity, are supported by OR. Finally, a lack of applications crossing organisational boundaries has been identified.

The sample of the survey consists of 52 relevant application papers from recent Winter Simulation Conference proceedings. We investigated what decisions were supported by the applications, case company characteristics, some methodological issues, and the software tools used. We found that the majority of applications has been reported in production plant design and in the evaluation of production policies, lot sizes, WIP levels and production plans/schedules. Findings also suggest that general-purpose DES software tools are suitable in most of these cases. For different possible reasons, few applications for multi-echelon supply chain decision-making have been reported. Software requirements for supply chain simulations also seem to differ slightly from those for established application areas. The applications described were carried out in a variety of different industries, with a clear predominance in the semiconductor and automotive industries. 2 THEORY 2.1 Manufacturing Logistics Manufacturing logistics deals with the design, planning and control of material flows and related information flows in manufacturing companies and their supply chains. It includes strategic, tactical and operational tasks, with scopes ranging from a single piece of equipment all the way to global supply chains encompassing several independent actors.

The principle is based on the idea of implementing cyclic plans as a means to level production, improve efficiency and to gradually reduce batch sizes and move towards the Lean ideal of onepiece flow. The purpose of the paper is to provide an illustrative case, describing the process and challenges in developing lean supply chain control.

The paper describes the process of development and implementation of the Every Product Every planning and control principle. The aim of the paper is to share experiences and knowledge from this process, and contribute to the application of Lean principles in batch production.

The literature review concludes that characteristics of performance measurement practices currently in use, limit their adoption within an SME environment. In addition, an in-depth multiple case studies create an understanding of the actual state and desired future state of performance measurement practices within SMEs. Based on the literature review and case studies a conceptual model for an ICT enabled performance measurement system was proposed. INTRODUCTION A high number of research studies as well as industrial projects focus on performance management and measurement of logistic and supply chain related activities (Neely 1999; Franco and Bourne, 2003), however research on methods and tools is still lacking behind. As a matter of fact, Schmitz and Platts (200...
