Cloud Manufacturing: A New Cloud Computing Model in Operations Management

Abstract

Together with information and communications technology, the concept of management and business conducting has been changing. Cloud computing, as one of those new technologies, gives dynamic services to businesses through the Internet. Cloud Computing makes the service reachable from everywhere, everytime with the pay-as-you-go system. It requires less management effort and workflow could be managed with less communication. As a business function, similar developments has been observed in operations management field. One of the new Technologies is Cloud Manufacturing system which has been developed under Cloud Computing applications. Aim of this new model is providing benefits like lower costs and higher performances, or increasing the market entry speed for businesses. In this study, conceptual structure of Cloud Manufacturing and the advantages has been investigated. Lastly, a business model has been presented that explains the logic flow and can be used as a road map for businesses

Bulut Üretim: İşlemler Yönetiminde Yeni Bir Bulut Bilişim Modeli

Abstract

Günümüzde gelişen bilgi iletişim teknolojileri ile birlikte işletmelerin yönetim anlayışları ve iş yürütme şekilleri de değişmektedir. Bulut bilişim bu yeni teknolojilerden biri olarak, kurumlara internet üzerinden dinamik bir servis sağlamaktadır. Bulut bilişim ile hizmet her yerden ulaşılabilir, teknolojisi sayesinde talebe göre her an hizmet verilebilir, daha az iletişimle iş akışı yürütülebilir kılınmaktadır. Bir işletme fonksiyonu olarak işlemler yönetimi alanında da benzer gelişmeler gözlenmekte ve bu gelişmelerde büyük ölçüde bilişim hizmetlerinin payı bulunmaktadır. İşlemler Yönetimi alanında ortaya çıkan yeni teknolojilerden birisi de Bulut Hizmet Modeli uygulamalarının bir alt türü olan Bulut Üretim Sistemidir. Bu yeni üretim modeli, işletmeler için daha düşük maliyet, yüksek performans, pazara hızlı girebilme avantajının sağlanması gibi yararları amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Bulut Üretim Sistemi’nin kavramsal yapısı, kullanım için gerekli altyapı ve teknoloji ve sağlayacağı avantajlar incelenmiştir. Son olarak, işletmeler için yol haritası olarak kullanılabilecek, mantıksal akışı anlatan yeni bir iş modeli sunulmuştur
