Case company selection

Regardless of the approach your company selects, what s important is the assurance that contract personnel, by whatever means, are as conversant as your own employees with those aspects of your PSM system with which they interact. For this reason, you may wish to consider meeting with your key contractors to discuss the system and how it may affect their persoimel. As part of this discussion, you will want to review whatever training the contractor provides to determine if it meets your needs and is appropriate for the PSM system. If the system requires additional contractor training, you can then work out (either as a global policy or on a case-by-case basis) how best to provide it.

A case study was performed in one of the automotive components manufacturers in Malaysia. This company selected was based on its achievement as a TPS model company awarded by Malaysia Japan automotive industries cooperatiOTi (MAJAICO) in year 2007. MAJAICO is a 5-year project from 2006 until 2011 initiated under the Malaysia Japan economic partnership agreement (MJEPA) to develop and improve the Malaysian automotive industry to become more competitive as global automotive players. The main function of MAJAICO is to introduce continuous improvement activities in manufacturing companies mainly through total implementation of lean manufacturing. Under MAJAICO project, TPS has known as lean production system (LPS) where the activities have been conducted by the Japanese experts and local experts from perusahaan otomobil nasional sendirian berhad (PROTON) and pemsahaan otomobil kedua sendirian berhad (PERODUA). 

The aim of this research is to study if the Chinese cultural and social embedded guanxi networks are important in business practices and how they influence buyer-seller relationships and performances in vegetable supply chains in China. We interviewed 8 case companies to explore their guanxi network, trust, transaction specific investments, channel and governance choices and performance attributes of transaction costs and quality satisfaction. Summaries of the 9 selected buyer-seller relationships (relationship 1-9 in Figure 2-6) for each case company are listed in Table 2. 

Note The described case was selected as being representative of improper work practices which likely contributed to a fatality from an accident. The accident prevention recommendations do not necessarily reflect the outcome of any legal aspects of the incident case. OSHA encourages your company or organization to duplicate and share this information.

There are three steps that seem to be critical. The first critical step is the selection of the mechanisms (company 3,4,7,9,11,12,13,19,20), because it is not easy to make a distinction between mechanisms enabling and mechanisms disabling a change in the behaviour of the workers (company 4) or because it is not easy to connect mechanisms with corresponding behaviours (company 9). In other cases (company 3 and 7) practitioners were not able to explain specifically the criticality of the step. 

Secondly, primary data were collected from two Chinese SME manufacturers through a series of individual interviews, group interviews, observations and archived data. The case companies domestic and international SCs were selected, mapped and analysed. The key characteristics of the case SCs were identified and categorised. This led to a reasonably generalised SC model. 

Chapter 4 describes the case companies SCs. The background of the case companies including the reasons for their selection is provided and the data collection process is described. Finally, case companies SCs are mapped and analysed and the important SCM issues are identified. 

The company seeking to toll internationally in this case will benefit from selecting an experienced team of reviewers with international experience. Tollers seeking business from foreign companies would benefit by recognizing these new aspects may present difficulties when their capabilities are being assessed. The candidate tollers could prepare information in advance that helps respond to these potential concerns. 

Load sharing or selective load shedding is of interest to many users of hot gas expanders. A particularly successful European FCC application is illustrated in Figure 6-43. The addition of an expander-generator set to the FCC unit at a major refinery presented a challenge because a trip of the expander could upset the process. The company that is the subject of this application case study, GHH Borsig, solved this problem with the installation of a computerized control system and through computer simulation of trips. 

The quality plan would be a logical place for such controls to be defined but clause 4.2.3 does not specifically refer to subcontractor controls. Any intention that they be defined in the quality plan is hidden in 4.2.3.1(b) where it requires you to give timely consideration to the identification and acquisition of any controls etc. Some companies produce a Quality Assurance Requirement Specification to supplement ISO 9001 and also produce a Subcontractor Surveillance Plan. In most other cases the controls may be defined on the reverse side of the purchase order as standard conditions coded and selected for individual purchases. 

In addition, the source of sponsorship may differ, reflecting centralized vs. decentralized corporate structures. In either case, effective sponsorship requires two tiers prime mover and key advocate, as shown in Figure 2-1. The prime mover, or primary sponsor, is the one who authorizes the initiative, while the key advocate is the individual without whose explicit support the initiative cannot go forward. To select the right sponsor for your company s PSM initiative, start by identifying the appropriate prime mover and key advocate. 

Training needs will vary according to team members familiarity with the approach you have selected. In a company with an active TQM program, you may need only a refresher course or briefing. For others it may be worthwhile to provide a more formal introduction to TQM techniques and processes. In many cases, the use of a trained facilitator (either from inside your company or an outside consultant) can greatly expedite the team s preparation and reduce the amount of individual team member training required. 

Companies that have no quality system or that have just started implementing a quality system should be aware that the guidelines do not show how to select and implement quality systems. In the latter case, the book will still be useful in helping combine and streamline management systems. In addition, the comparison of different Quality Management systems in Chapter 9 may provide some useful input to Quality Management system selection. 

IT Select from company insulation standards (or prepare, if necessary) the insulation codes to be applied to each hot or cold pipe or equipment. Note that insulation must be applied in some cases only to prevent operating personnel from contacting the base equipment. See Table 1-1 for typical insulation thickness from which code numbers can be established. 

Many pilot-scale and full-scale trials involving the use of secondary flotation (Krofta Supracell) in activated sludge treatment plants were conducted by KEC and Lenox Institute of Water Technology (LIWT) (formerly Lenox Institute for Research). Only partial operational data are selected for presentation in this chapter. The readers are encouraged to contact the authors for details. In the illustration of each case history, the true names of the company and its resident engineer involved are omitted for the protection of the Company s privacy. 

The selection of the release case depends on the requirements of the consequence study. If an internal company study is being completed to determine the actual consequences of plant releases, then the realistic cases would be selected. However, if a study is being completed to meet the requirements of the EPA Risk Management Plan, then the worst-case releases must be used. 

In addition to these selection criteria, the limitations of the author s contacts and the willingness of companies to participate, narrowed the search for a suitable case down to a small Dutch company (< 30 people). This company produces in batches, falls under the Dutch Seveso-II directive (BRZO, 1999) and authorized access to the relevant data. The selected company had experienced some serious accidents recently, in spite of using many technical safety systems. Thus the management was aware of the necessity to enhance both safety and the reliability of the operational process. 

The selection criteria for the case studies are taken from Chapter 5, i.e. presence of hazardous substances, batch industry, large company, located in The Netherlands. The selection criteria narrowed the search for suitable cases down to large Dutch companies in the batch industry falling under the Dutch Seveso-II directive (BRZO, 1999). To increase the generalizability to Dutch chemical companies in the batch industry, from the around 80 selected companies falling under the previous selection criteria, different companies and different product types were selected.
