Prof. Dr. A. Schönbohm, Dr. Wolfgang R. Petri und Prof Dr. B. Maruffi have published their ground-breaking results for the quantitative appraisal of the value added in manufacturing in the Journal of General Management, Volume 39, No. 4, Summer 2014 titled “MVAC – A quantitative method for measuring value added from improved manufacturing operations”
The authors show how the MVAC (Manufacturing Value Added Coefficient) is used for assessing operational performance, establishing international benchmarks and setting objectives. The paper evaluates critically the one-sided categorization of manufacturing units as Cost Centres and leads the attention to weaknesses in conventional margin assessments.
Prof. Dr. Brian Maruffi et al. have published a framework for the evaluation of CSR strategies in “The Business Renaissance Quarterly-BRQ Volume 9, Issue 1-2, Winter-Spring 2014″ titled “Measuring the Effectiveness of Corporate Social Responsibility Practices and Processes: A Framework for Assessing, Monitoring and Improving CSR Programs, Practices, Processes and Evaluation”
