World-class manufacturing systems (WCMS) has attracted the attention of industries all over the world. The perceptible impact of WCMS lies in attaining the far reaching world-class standards. Attempts have been made to examine WCMS for the feasibility in Indian industries. The present work describes a performance value analysis for the justification of WCMS for Indian industries.

The paper deals with the implementation of the WCM (World Class Manufacturing) model. By implementing the WCM, it is possible to reduce costs in manufacturing operations by removing elements that does not bring added value, or generate losses, waste or even lead to accidents and errors. WCM as a management model includes its own methods and tools that enable the company to achieve profit and a competitive advantage based on the principle of "producing the highest quality products at low prices". The WCM model is based on four concepts to achieve zero waste, zero accidents, zero failures and zero stocks. A prerequisite for the development of the WCM model is the improvement of the company's organizational system in order to achieve a global level of competitiveness.

Abstract Bouldering is a sport climbing discipline in which short, extremely difficult climbing routes, so-called boulder problems, have to be mastered. Besides excellent physical condition, the ability to read a boulder and to generate motor solutions for the boulder problem is probably a performance-determining factor. In a full survey of all participants of the 2017 Bouldering World Cups we investigated how athletes deal with an unsuccessful first attempt. We distinguish between follow-up attempts in which athletes retry the same solution as before and follow-up attempts in which they find a new solution. We could show that the success rate of new solutions is substantially higher than the repetition of the old solution. Furthermore, there is a correlation with the frequency of finding new solutions and the position in the world ranking. We conclude that the ability to create several solutions for boulder problems is a very important component of performance in bouldering.

In the last decade, technological progress has profoundly influenced the industrial world and all industrial sectors have been confronted with a change in technological paradigms. In such a context, this study aims to analyze the synergies between the technological world of Industry 4.0 and the purely organizational and managerial domain of World Class Manufacturing, a model of Operational Excellence. The objective is relating the driving dimensions of the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) system to the technological macrocategories of Industry 4.0: this would allow the identification of which technological solution to leverage on, aiming at optimization in a given World Class Manufacturing pillar. The result is a “WCM-I4.0 matrix”: a proposal to reconcile, exploit and trace the relations between the two complex concepts. The WCM-I4.0 matrix includes, by now, 100 Industry 4.0 technologies that best suits with the World Class Manufacturing pillars.

Majority of research into the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) has taken a universalistic approach and has developed general models covering all aspects of manufacturing management. Whilst there has been some research that suggests that appropriate best practice procedures are contingent upon company type, none of this research has tried to develop a detailed WCM model for the make to order (MTO) sector. Given the complex nature of the MTO sector, it could be argued that it is necessary to build a WCM model for the MTO sector initially.

Green Manufacturing Systems (GMS) has attracted the attention of organizations all over the world. There is a general challenge offered to the field of engineering economics by the introduction of green manufacturing systems as, typically, the traditional approaches do not account for the significant intangible benefits offered by GMS. In this paper, an attempt has been made to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies by presenting a multi attribute decision model — Performance Value Analysis (PVA) — for the justification of green manufacturing systems. The usefulness of the model is demonstrated through an illustrative example. The results clearly show that the implementation of green manufacturing systems offers far better competitive advantages over the non-green manufacturing systems.

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) techniques influence in implementation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in cellular manufacturing. The paper presents an investigation of TPM which can be defined in terms of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Then, using a case study in Cement Industry, OEE index that is related with TPM implementation in a cell with performance standards of world class Manufacturing is compared. Implementation of TPM in cellular manufacturing brings competitive advantages such as increasing efficiency and improving maintenance quality in cellular manufacturing systems. The first step to World-Class Manufacturing is to implement TPM successfully and to create a very active organization. When TPM has been a common practice in daily production, it can be said that company has just commenced a journey to world-class manufacturing. So, the originality of this paper is to assessing The Role of Total Productive Maintenance in Group Technology to achieve world-class status.
