配送中心规划（之一）

１ 配送中心概论 随着我国经济体制改革的深入,传统的流通模式越来越不能满足市场多品种小批量的需求,一些商业或流通企业纷纷准备或开始筹建配送中心,以降低成本,提高服务质量和水平。通过建设配送中心,可以扩大经营规模,改进物流与信息流系统,满足用户不断发展的多样化需求,使末端物流更加合理。而配送中心在我国的发展明显滞后于西方发达国家,在配送中心的规划和设计方面的资料和经验较少,一定程度上限制和阻碍了配送中心的发展, １．１ 配送中心的概念 配送中心就是从事货物配备（集货、加工、分货、拣选、配货）和组织对用…

Insights into the effect of traffic congestion on distribution network characteristics – a numerical analysis based on navigation service data

This research studies effects that the average increase in travel times due to road traffic congestion has on characteristics of an existing distribution network. It presents the most detailed estimate of ‘on-the-road’ effects on distribution network characteristics up to now, from the network modelling perspective and from the processed data point of view. A concrete network model allowing for the representation of all relevant transportation flows is presented. The processed traffic information relies on navigation service data. The use of such data allows the requirements that arise for the traffic analysis of a whole distribution network to be met. It is shown that this data source may considerably contribute in forthcoming research. The effects of traffic congestion are quantified to get insights into the extent to which regular traffic congestion affects distribution network characteristics and to understand the mitigating effect when the number of distribution centres is increased.     

Incubator,technology, and innovation centres in Switzerland: features and policy implications

Only since the early 1990s, when unemployment rates in Switzerland soared to unprecedented levels, has federal technology and innovation policy begun to design their activities with regard to employment and the establishment of new firms. Now, all across the country, private as well as public incubator facilities, technology and innovation centres have begun to spring up. This paper starts by describing the theoretical and methodological background of a survey of incubator, technology and innovation (ITI) centres. In a first step, all cantonal offices for economic promotion were asked to report and to describe incubator facilities, technology and innovation centres within their realm. In a second step a selection of centres were analysed in depth. The key findings are that: (1) ITI centres are most commonly established by a combination of public and private initiatives; (2) the main motive for the creation of ITI centres is to promote startups and the innovative potential; (3) most ITI centres offer space to rent and make available joint amenities; (4) ITI centres are predominantly in manufacturing, services, and development activities; their level of technology input is high or very high; and (5) the spatial reach of most of the ITI centre is on the region. Together with selected foreign experiences, some conclusions and recommendations for the operation of such centres are formulated.     

Innovation centres and their importance for the growth of new technology-based firms: experience gained from the Federal Republic of Germany

The following study is based on three countrywide surveys aimed at investigating the effect of innovation centres as an instrument of local economic development and innovation policy in the Federal Republic of Germany (F.R.G.). The conceptual bases of 31 centres, the situation of 177 resident entrepreneurs and the characteristics of 29 site managers are investigated by means of written inquiries, structured interviews and oral inquiries. The representative nature of the data gathered allows a first cautious stocktaking of this still unequivocal instrument of economic development policy after 5 years' experience of innovation centres in the F.R.G. The main emphasis of the present investigation is on the implication that services rendered by the centres have for the growth and innovation opportunities of young companies that predominantly stem from the pool of new technology-based firms.     

From ‘tucked away’ to ‘joined at the hip’: understanding evolving relationships within the HRBP model in a regional energy company

Many authors have studied how the HRM function has evolved. A fundamental recurring theme in the literature centres upon the role HRM should play to ensure it adds real value to organisations. This article seeks to contribute to the ongoing debate surrounding the HRM role by reporting findings from case study research carried out in an organisation that has recently restructured its HRM function towards the Human Resource Business Partnership model. Through interviewing key stakeholders in the organisation, our aim was to understand the roles which HRM professionals play and the key stakeholders with whom they have relationships. Evidence suggests that, as a result of the restructuring, the HRM function has a more strategic and integrated position with many viewing HRM professionals and advisors as valued business partners. However, we also noted some important ambiguities, tensions and role conflicts amongst the key parties involved in the partnership, which suggests that further work is required to fully clarify the role of the HRM function in this organisation and to ensure that relationships continue to evolve successfully.     

Bounds for median and 50 percetage point of binomial and negative binomial distribution

Inequalities for comparing the binomial distribution function/operating characteristic function with value 0.5 have been established long ago. It is a trivial task to infer from these inequalities bounds for the 50 percentage point of the binomial operating characteristic function. However, it is also possible to use these inequalities to establish good bounds for the median of the binomial distribution function. By a relation of binomial distribution function/operating characteristic function and negative binomial distribution function/operating characteristic function we can get bounds for the respective parameters of negative binomial distribution, too.     

The prioritisation of service dimensions in logistics centres: a fuzzy quality function deployment methodology

This study takes a customer focus that prioritises the service-offering dimensions of logistics centres (LCs) by considering potential LC customer expectations. Applying a survey and a quality function deployment methodology to logistics service providers, the study explores, categorises and prioritises LC customer expectations and LC service characteristics. The results indicate that customer preferences mainly prioritise infrastructure, and warehouse and intermodal dimensions. However, when the cost dimension is included, higher utility values are delivered through soft service dimensions like value-added or standard services. LC investors or undertakers can use these results to guide their design of market offerings by using the same methodology to assess expectations in their target markets.     

Density estimation in the uniform deconvolution model

We consider the problem of estimating a probability density function based on data that are corrupted by noise from a uniform distribution. The (nonparametric) maximum likelihood estimator for the corresponding distribution function is well defined. For the density function this is not the case. We study two nonparametric estimators for this density. The first is a type of kernel density estimate based on the empirical distribution function of the observable data. The second is a kernel density estimate based on the MLE of the distribution function of the unobservable (uncorrupted) data.
