    Notes: Purpose - To examine supply chain competences necessary to efficiently and/or effectively succeed in aftermarket support. Design/methodology/approach - Using the aerospace industry as a context, this paper provides a brief overview of aftermarket support practices and trends and discusses the broader implications for aftermarket supply chain managers. Findings - There are multiple approaches to aftermarket support. Which approach should be used depends on key variables including: technology, need for visibility and/or traceability, and need for collaborative product commerce. Research limitations/implications - This paper is a general review. Future research should examine resources necessary in individual industries, other forms of relationships, and the influence of new technologies. Practical implications - In many industries, there are significant opportunities for incremental profit in aftermarket support. Collaborative product commerce, alliances, a number of new technologies (e.g. web commerce), and security needs may play critical roles in determining whether or not a company's aftermarket support practices will be profitable. Firms without competences in these areas should seek help from trusted partners to fill competence gaps. Originality/value - This paper explores an often ignored but significant line of business - aftermarket support. Lessons demonstrated in this paper may be used in a number of industries that rely on aftermarket support for incremental profit.

    Measuring Cash-to-Cash Performance (2003)

    Notes: The cash-to-cash (C2C) metric has evolved as one of the first measurements bridging across the firm. Therefore, it is important for managers to understand how the C2C metric is calculated, as well as how a company should compare in its C2C performance. In this paper, we define C2C and how to calculate it. Then, we provide an analysis and summary of C2C in 2001 for 5,884 companies using median performance by industry. A typology is introduced to classify industry performance using a 2 x 2 x 2 matrix based on the three variables of the C2C metric: accounts payable, inventory, and accounts receivable. We also consider how performance has changed since 1986, identify the key drivers to this change, and describe which industries have experienced the greatest change in C2C performance. Finally, managerial implications and future research questions are offered.

    Cash-to-cash: the new supply chain management metric (2002)

    Notes: Over recent years supply chain management has grown in importance because of the proliferation of improved information flows, outsourcing practices, strategic alliances and partnerships, and the reshaping of the organizational focus from functional silos toward integrated activities. Logistics and supply chain management emphasize achieving lowest total cost through synergistic interaction of all supply chain components. The cash-to-cash (C2C) metric is an important measure as it bridges across inbound material activities with suppliers, through manufacturing operations, and the outbound sales activities with customers. This paper first defines how to calculate C2C. It then overviews the importance of measuring C2C, using both accounting and supply chain management perspectives. Next, it identifies key leverage points that are necessary to manage C2C effectively. Finally, future research questions are developed that should prove useful in guiding the development of C2C as a usable metric.

    A case of cold-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (2002)

    Notes: Summary Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIA) is a form of physical urticaria that is induced by exercise. A 16-year-old Japanese boy had a 4-year history of recurrent wealing and dyspnoea after physical exercise such as jogging, playing handball or riding a bicycle in winter. The episodes were not associated with ingestion of foods including wheat or soya bean. A provocation test, with 15 min of exercise and 2 min of cold stimulation immediately before or immediately after the exercise, elicited a weal that was localized to the test area. A challenge test with ingestion of boiled soya beans and exercise did not elicit a weal. Therefore, in this case, cold exposure, but not food ingestion, was essential for inducing EIA. Cold-dependent EIA is different from cold urticaria, food-dependent EIA, cholinergic urticaria and cold-induced cholinergic urticaria, and may be a distinct entity.

    Spatially and temporally resolved temperature measurements of plasma generated in percussion drilling with a diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser (1998)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: Results of spectroscopic temperature measurements of the laser-induced plasma generated during percussion drilling with a high power diode-pumped, pulsed Nd:YAG laser are presented. SAE 52100 steel was drilled with varying average powers. Helium and oxygen were each used as the shield gas. Emission spectra were collected with a monochrometer and an intensified charge coupled detector connected to the optical multichannel analyzer. The plasma electron temperatures were calculated from the relative intensities of the spectral lines. The spatial and temporal temperature distributions are presented. Both drilling times and spatial distributions indicate energy absorption by the plasma. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Electrogram Patterns Associated with Successful Radiofrequency Ablation of Accessory Pathways in Children (1996)

    Notes: Abstract. Electrograms observed prior to successful and unsuccessful ablation trials in 33 patients (362 attempts) with manifest pathways and 18 patients (194 attempts) with concealed pathways were compared to identify the electrogram patterns that are associated with successful radiofrequency ablation of accessory atrioventricular connections in young patients (mean age 12.7 years; range 4–22 years). Success was defined as permanent or transient interruption of conduction in the accessory connection. Predictors of success in patients with manifest pathways were local ventricular preexcitation (p = 0.0001), left-sidedness (43 or 174) of the accessory connection compared (p = 0.04) to right-sidedness (27 of 172), a probable Kent bundle potential (29 of 84 versus 39 of 256; p= 0.0001), and short antegrade atrioventricular conduction intervals (53.1 ± 31.9 ms versus 64.6 ± 32.0 ms; p= 0.02). Predictors of success in patients with concealed pathways were short ventriculoatrial conduction times (103.3 ± 35.8 ms versus 117.9 ± 34.8 ms; p = 0.01), and left-sided (42 of 125) pathways (p = 0.03; versus right-sided, 11 of 60). The presence of a Kent bundle potential was not significant. We conclude that specific electrogram patterns can predict successful ablation of either manifest or concealed accessory pathways. Use of these criteria may reduce the delivery of unnecessary energy to young myocardium.
