Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, Durham University, language: English, abstract: The starting point for this dissertation is the assumption that implementing lean production in an operation leads to an increase in productivity, enhances quality, shortens lead times, and reduces costs. As a result of these single improvements a superior competitive position is achieved. Based on a literature review that compares several approaches to define lean production, a two staged concept is developed that comprises ten different practices of lean production. These practices are linked with ten performance indicators, which are grouped into three different perspectives: shareholder, cost, and process perspective. The assumption that the lean production practices have an impact on the performance measures is tested with a questionnaire. In total 76 respondents delivered the data to test the 100 links between lean production and performance. The results show that lean production implementation has a measurable impact on the performance parameters and a weaker impact on the cost perspective measures. The results are supported by previous findings that show equivocal results regarding the impact on measures, like'Return on Sales'.

“This book is about more than ‘redesigning capex.'It's about transforming the way you look at capital allocation and seeing that you're completely wrong. It's about realizing that capex strategy is the enterprise's strategy.” –John Williams, CEO, Domtar Corporation The systems-thinking approach to capex decisions that can double your company cash flow The way most business leaders deploy capex right now is nothing short of a train wreck. Very few look at their asset base as a collective network; rather, they see their assets as standalone performers, have no strategy for the role each asset plays in the grand scheme of things, and, therefore, fail to invest in their network for the long term to generate more cash for the business, asset by asset. Redesigning CapEx Strategy provides an effective—and almost painfully obvious—solution to some of the greatest missed opportunities happening in business today. In this resource that will revolutionize your capex decision-making, globally renowned capex strategists Fredrik Weissenrieder and Daniel Lindén share their proven methodology for focusing on the entire range of potential strategies and cash flow outcomes for hundreds of scenarios across a multi-asset base. It's not about incremental improvement. It's a radical transformation of how you allocate capital—and avoid throwing good money after bad. With a capex strategy that accounts for each asset's role as part of the asset network, there's never a question about the best path forward. Redesigning CapEx Strategy doesn't just redesign your capex strategy—it helps you redesign your entire company's future.

The finance function can be regarded as the spider in the organizational web, as it has relations with every part of the organization and is also represented on the executive board. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that this function takes the lead by quickly transforming itself into a high-performance finance function (HPFF), serving as a role model for other functions in the organization. Building the High-Performance Finance Function describes the development of the high-performance finance function (HPFF) framework and explores the experiences, lessons learned, and results achieved by finance functions that have transformed themselves into “HPFFs,” or high-performance finance functions, using the HPFF framework. Covering a range of topics such as excellence in finance and high-performance organizations, it is ideal for industry professionals, teachers, researchers, academicians, practitioners, and students.

This book analyzes the impact of Covid-19 in different areas such as corporate social responsibility and legislation in SMEs, insolvency law, behavioral finance, government interventions in markets, financial disclosure, the emergence of unregulated financial sectors, the increase of coronavirus-related crimes, and the development of banking regulations in the Covid-19 pandemic, among others.The coronavirus epidemic, which has spread throughout the world, has highlighted the inadequacies of the health and social systems of all states, even the most advanced. The health emergency has required extraordinary measures, especially at the level of laws that are essential for the preservation of lives, health, and livelihoods. The priority for governments and even the international community was, from the outset, to prevent infections and care for those affected. Such a strategy required an unusual increase in health spending, even though it exceeded the State's financial capacity and lacked fiscal space. In addition to this challenge, which has not yet been overcome, there is another, that of redressing the consequences of the measures taken (general containment). It should be pointed out that during health crises, the state may have to review the requirement for transparency because of the emergency, but not free itself from it. The urgency could never be an alibi for a violation of citizens'rights and freedoms.With urgency, financial management systems must be flexible and responsive to all occurrences, while ensuring optimal use of resources and minimizing the risks of fraud and corruption.
