For a while, their family wondered whether Ann Faulkner and her husband, Ivon, were ever going to be parents. After completing a degree in accounting, Ann returned to a vocational school, training three years to become an aircraft mechanic. The couple had their first child in their late 20s.

And being organized eventually allowed her time for other things she enjoys and believes in, like community service projects.

The managerial staff of marginal companies usually perceive research as a pointless exercise. However, research is essential to achieve certain objectives. It is necessary to define survival strategies and increase productivity. Research is also invaluable when trying to introduce new products, materials and processes. It is helpful when designing optimal systems for scheduling, production planning, costing, procurement, logistics and quality management.
This paper gives an overview of the theory and practice of planning and scheduling in supply chains. It first gives an overview of the various planning and scheduling models that have been studied in the literature, including lot sizing models and machine scheduling models. It subsequently categorizes the various industrial sectors in which planning and scheduling in the supply chains are important; these industries include continuous manufacturing as well as discrete manufacturing. We then describe how planning and scheduling models can be used in the design and the development of decision support systems for planning and scheduling in supply chains and discuss in detail the implementation of such a system at the Carlsberg A/S beer brewer in Denmark. We conclude with a discussion on th...
This paper reviews Paul Kleindorfer's contributions to Operations Management (OM), with a special focus on his research on risk management. An annotated bibliography of selected other contributions reviews the breadth of topics that have occupied Kleindorfer's research attention over his now 45+ years of research. These include optimal control theory, scheduling theory, decision sciences, investment planning and peak load pricing, plus a number of important applications in network industries and insurance. In the area of operations risk management, we review recent work that Kleindorfer and his colleagues in the Wharton Risk Center have undertaken on environmental management and operations, focusing on process safety and environmental risks in the chemical industry.

Knowledge management is a key ingredient of value creation in the new economy where knowledge intensity increases with the rising complexity of business processes. Enterprise modeling has been used in the development of an integrated framework for an enterprise that links business processes to technical architectures via the construct of conceptual models. Traditional enterprise models concern the operational and analytical aspects of an enterprise that manage the physical assets of an enterprise. Enterprise knowledge management concerns the creation, sharing, representation, storage and utilization of knowledge across an enterprise, which manage the knowledge assets of an enterprise. Prior research on enterprise integration focuses on the linkage between knowledge management and partic...
