【正文】 the inventory system needs to be described and analyzed. With regard to describing an inventory system it is important to obtain a prehensive description of the inventory system. The end result should contain detailed descriptions of both traditional aspects of inventory control and aspects from the anizational context of the inventory system. This is to ensure a large amount of factors that might play a part in the inventory control problem are included in the , the first guideline of applying the anizational perspective on inventory control in practice regards describing an inventory system by paying attention to each of the five dimensions that have been identified to play a part in inventory control. The table in Fig. 3 can be a useful tool to do so. The table presents an elaboration of traditional aspects, the allocation of tasks, decisionmaking processes, munication processes and behavior regarding inventory control. Each dimension is divided into relevant aspects and their characteristics. Although the list of characteristics is by no means meant to be exhaustive, it is posed in such a way that it will lead to a fairly plete insight in an inventory situation. The second guideline of applying the anizational perspective on inventory control in practice regards analyzing an inventory system. When trying to determine causes for an inventory control problem, all five dimensions should be taken into account. It is important to begin with analyzing each of the five dimensions separately and subsequently focus on analyzing the coherence between the dimensions. This implies that firstly for each of the dimensions it is investigated in what ways it contributes to the inventory control problem. The table in Fig. 3 can 西華大學(xué)交通與汽車(chē)工程學(xué)院 本科生畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)英文翻譯 provide starting points for identifying possible causes. This part of the analysis might reveal for instance that an inappropriate replenishment strategy is applied or that munication systems are not functioning properly. Secondly, the findings from every dimension are integrated to determine how the dimensions relate to each other. For example, malfunctioning munication systems might cause the inappropriate replenishment addition, the malfunctioning munication systems might be the result of an inappropriate allocation of tasks. Doing so, it will bee clear what causes the inventory control problem from an anizational perspective. Besides guidelines for the diagnosis of an inventory control problem, the anizational perspective on inventory control also provides guidelines for the redesign of an inventory on an accurate understanding of the inventory control problem, the redesign aims to improve the situation or solve the problem by means of remendations. From the anizational point of view it is important to take all five dimensions of inventory control into consideration. However, unlike in the description and analysis of an inventory system, the five dimensions are not expected to be equally important. Depending on the outes of the diagnosis of an inventory system, it might be sufficient to redesign just one of the dimensions. In other cases, a redesign of the entire system might be required. Still, in all cases it remains necessary to consider each of the five dimensions, since they are closely interrelated. For example, changing the allocation of tasks can influence munication , improving decisionmaking processes can solve behavioral problems. Therefore, the third guideline of applying the anizational perspective in practice regards redesigning an inventory system by taking the five dimensions of inventory control into account, although it is not needed to change them all. 西華大學(xué)交通與汽車(chē)工程學(xué)院 本科生畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)英文翻譯 To conclude, the framework presented in Fig. 2 facilitates the practical employment of the anizational perspective on inventory control. The acpanying guidelines provide support in diagnosing and redesigning an inventory system. This way of applying the anizational perspective to practical inventory control problems is expected to lead to more satisfying solutions. In the first place this is due to the prehensive description and analysis of an inventory system. Compared to the traditional approach to inventory control, the anizational approach is more likely to capture the plex environment most inventories are situated in. This is expected to lead to a more accurate understanding of the inventory control problem. In the second place, more satisfying solutions are to be expected because of more appropriate redesigns. Traditionally, redesign were focused on changes in order quantities,order intervals or inventory control , it has been argued that in several practical situations the anizational context of inventories needs to be changed in order to improve inventory control. Therefore, the anizational perspective paying attention to both traditional and contextual aspects will lead to more appropriate redesigns. The next sections of this article describe the research design and results of a case study in which the anizational perspective has been applied to a practical inventory control problem. 學(xué) 生： 簽字： 年 月 日 指導(dǎo)教師： 簽字： 年 月 日
