Shipping challenges Seminar HiM
Logistic challengesR&D- initiative Use of simulation/ optimization models for analysing alternative logistic solutions from the design phase Development of dedicated production lines for industrial fabrication of parts and for partial assembling (ex. Aker Solution Verdal) Development of assembling site on shore: large areas able too manage massive weight and big dimensions Maritime operations with customized ships There are areas where constructors, suppliers and academicians should work together on analyzing the concept. New R&D initiatives should be put into practice in order to strengthen the theoretical foundation. Seminar HiM
Potential for the maritime cluster Seminar HiM
Ny Frakt • 4 sub-projects: • Fleet renewal for the coastal cargo • Capacity utilization and possibilities for fleet development • Trade flow for Norwegian ports • Taxes and fees for the Norwegian freight • Authors: Oddmund Oterhals, Jan Erik Netter, Karolis Dugnas, Cristina Ciobanu • Project finance: • Norwegian Research Council - MAROFF program • Project owner: • FraktefartøyenesRederiforening Seminar HiM
Conclusions from the project • Old and pollutive fleet serving coastal cargo • Many small shipping firms (average 2 ships per company) • Low capacity utilization of fleet (ca 67%) • Many ports and several trade flows • Uneven trade flows between regions • Different taxation systems in ports • Ineffective infrastructure (to and from ports) Seminar HiM
Taxes and fees Seminar HiM
Cost distribution • Kostnader på land og i havn utgjør 50 % • Kostnader i havn utgjør 35 % • Miljøavgifter blir en liten post • Avgifter utgjør 15,2 % • Lite igjen til vedlikehold og fornying Seminar HiM
Lean shipbuilding • Project in collaboration with Fafo, DTU (Danish Technological University), Ulstein shipyard, Aker Yards Langsten and Brattvåg • Scope: to develop the concept called Lean Shipbuilding • Challenges within shipbuilding • Planning which activities to complete in a dynamic and flexible environment • Activities are often not completed as planned and are moved to the subsequent phase • Such disturbances result in a significant increase of the total costs for the project, task congestion, late delivery, etc Seminar HiM
Results and recent activities • Article: “State-of-the-art. Lean shipbuilding in Norway” Oddmund Oterhals and Karolis Dugnas (IGLC conference proceedings, Manchester, 2008) • Collaboration on several master theses • Possibility for a new project at STX Europe • Improving information flow between Norwegian and Romanian shipyards • Develop new business models through applying leagile thinking • Achieve more flexibility in construction processes Seminar HiM
Stokke “Warehouse optimization and flow of goods at Stokke: Mapping and improving logistics processes” • The firm • Current challenges / Project focus • Managerial implications / Further research Seminar HiM
The firm: Stokke AS • Global distributor of own products (app. 50 countries) • All production is outsourced (China, Romania, Slovenia, Estonia and the Netherlands) • Main products: Seminar HiM
Current challenges / Project focus • Significant product variety, global SC • Unbalanced inbound and outbound logistics • Long planning horizon • Low forecasting quality • Warehouse optimization: High service level vs. reduced inventory Seminar HiM
Current challenges / Project focus (cont.) Seminar HiM

Current challenges / Project focus (cont.) Seminar HiM
Managerial implications/Further Research • Forecasting: - Combine both causal and quantitative methods - Forecast at the aggregate level - Calculate and apply trend and seasonal factors (Holt-Winters smoothing) - Optimize α and N values when applying ES or MA methods respectively • Inventory management - EOQ method gives general guidelines, values have to be adjusted (Knapsack problem) - Be aware of optimal order cycles (significant deviation was observed) - Shorten lead times if possible • Key Performance Indicators - Apply optimal service level for different products (stock-out costs have to be weighted against keeping inventory) - Standardize use of KPI’s Seminar HiM
