Impact of Additive Manufacturing on Supply Chain Network Structure
No full textPurpose of this paper: To empirically ground the networked use of additive manufacturing. Research directs attention to the impact of additive manufacturing on network structure and the degree to which additive manufacturing can be considered as a disruptive innovation.
Design/methodology/approach: This is a research study of different Norwegian firms and their use of additive manufacturing, either advanced or at a trail stage. The study encompasses interviews of 15 companies including observations of some of these companies. The research seeks through a series of qualitative interviews to detect company history of using 3D printing tools, its current use and future prospects as perceived by various informants. The research is founded in supply chain management literature providing focus on how companies integrate to collaborate and coordinate production processes in an industrial network. Proximity to customers is a key analytical factor in the studied networks to facilitate co-creation. This implies considering new business models focusing on proximity in business relationships as a key factor associated with organizing supply.
Findings: Fifteen detailed companies case study is provided. This shows that additive manufacturing is still in its infancy technologically and use is limited. It can at this point in time not be considered as a disruptive innovation due to its current limited use in the supply chain of the studied firms.
Value: The study develops a research approach considering use of additive manufacturing in the supply chain thus laying empirically founded grounds for further research on this is type of technological innovation in industry

Effektivisering og forbedring av materiellinvesteringsvirksomhet i forsvarssektoren
Full text linkInnkjøpsfunksjonen i virksomheter har i moderne tid fått en dreining fra en ren «skaffefunksjon» til å utøve supply chain management, eller forsyningsledelse. Fokuset har skiftet fra kostnadsoptimering til hvordan kan verdiskapningen økes gjennom forsyningsaktivitet. Forsvarets investeringsplan viser 15-20 milliarder kroner i årlige midler tildelt til anskaffelser av materiell, som skal gi verdi i form av økt kampkraft og evne til å ivareta sitt samfunnsansvar. Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt (FFI) har gjennomført en studie gjennom året 2019 som viser potensial for store besparelser i forsvarssektoren og stadfester en rekke tiltak for forbedring og effektivisering, deriblant innen materiellanskaffelser. Tiltakene er formulert spesifikt til hver etat i forsvarssektoren, uten et overordnet forbedringsplan sett på materiellinvesteringsvirksomheten som helhet. Denne studien søker å samordne FFI sine funn og tiltak, se disse opp imot gjeldende praksis og diskutere grep som tar for seg materiellinvesteringsvirksomheten som helhet, i lys av teorier inne innkjøp, prosjekt, styring og prosessforbedring. Studiets problemstilling er: Hvilke grep kan fattes i forsvarssektoren for helhetlig forbedring og effektivisering av materiellinvesteringsvirksomhet i etterkant av FFI studie «Hvordan skape økonomisk handlingsrom i den nye langtidsplanen – potensial for forbedring og effektivisering 2021-2024». Studien er gjennomført i 3 deler. I del 1, dokument-studie, for å skape grunnlag for videre undersøkelser. I del 2, case-studie, ble det valgt ut et mellomstort anskaffelsesprosjekt. Funn i del 2 skape grunnlag for videre undersøkelse i del 3, liten-N-studie, der hensikten var å se om funn i case-studien er gjennomgående for større del av materiellinvesteringsvirksomheten eller forhold isolert til casen som er undersøkt i del 2. Studiets funn viser flere grep i materiellinvesteringsvirksomheten innen organisering, styring og prosess, som enten muliggjør ellet støtter gevinstrealisering av FFI (2019) sine forbedrings og effektiviseringstiltak.
