Today's Challenge for many manufacturing companies is how to improve product quality and reduce the production cost of the products offered in the market. Quality improvement must be performed by a company to maintain its product's competitiveness in the market. Quality improvement and cost reduction can be performed by allocating investments to reduce the value of the variance in the component of...
Improving customer satisfaction is important in order to create a good relationship between a company and its customers which will give benefit to both sides. One way to accomplish it is by conducting quality improvement. Quality improvement has a strong relationship with the customer satisfaction, so it is an important issue in manufacturing. This paper discusses an optimization model to allocate...
Storing energy is one possible active network management (ANM) technique for reducing wind turbine induced distribution grid congestion. However, in most cases investment costs for installing storage solutions far outweigh the cost for infrastructure upgrades. Our research shows that combining demand side management and storage techniques can prove effective in reducing the total investment costs...
Based on the practical problems in the field of environmental protection, this article analyzes and optimizes the sales and storage problems and resource allocation problems of two typical cases by the means of building the mathematical model of the dynamic programming and using lingo11 to solve it. The results show that the lingo11 can be used as a effective tool to solve the optimization problems...
In this paper, we propose a DC optimal power flow (OPF) framework for storage portfolio optimization in transmission-constrained power networks. In particular, this model is designed to investigate two problems: 1) optimizing storage operation and allocation over a network given a fixed technology portfolio and 2) optimizing the storage portfolio (i.e., the size, technology, and network allocation...
In practice, returns on investments in IT cannot be directly verified and it is difficult to identify the proportion of the shared IT budget allocated to each stage for multiple production process. In order to measure the IT returns on each stage directly, this paper proposes a simultaneous production functions model for the multiple production process connected in series. This model can be used not...
Public investment policy should pursue for increase in per capita income instead of increase in income. The objective is affected by some constraints, which involve taxation, corruption, labor productivity, and so forth. Empirical analysis shows the effectiveness of the public investment model. The model is able to provide reliable reference for governmental economic decision.
Commonality strategies have become an important means of cost-sharing across systems. However, decreases in realized commonality have important implications for the cost-sharing effects of commonality. We review the spectrum of benefits provided under different commonality strategies, with a view to determining how these benefits scale - whether by number of variants, total production volume, or by...
In the knowledge economy era, as an important part of business financial management, investment management is influenced by the knowledge economy. Investment innovation is concerned with academic and practice of the profession. This paper not only affirms the significance of investment innovation for businesses to develop, but also discusses the key problems about business investment innovation through...
Based on previous researches on Technology Innovation Capability (TIC), this paper has redefined TIC as a firm's technology acquisition and application capability both internally and externally under innovation strategy based on capital investment. The Open Innovation (OI) Theory emphasizes the significance of external technology and resources, which has made a breakthrough of traditional Close Innovation...
This study has examined the connection of activities in innovation related resource management and the profit status due to technological innovation based on a sample 219 firms in Chinese power equipment manufacturing industry. We have taken correlation and regression analysis to test the impact of different activities on 3 types of innovation. The result has provided us with the key activities which...
Having an accurate capacity planning is always an ultimate goal for semiconductor manufacturing. However, as capacity planning is highly affected by the demand forecast uncertainty, there is a necessity to make the gap closer to ensure profitability. The paper defines the problems faced by a semiconductor company in handling capacity planning and balancing the capital investment cost against the risk...
By building a model of internal capital markets, we draw conclusion that allocation resources in divisions of diversified firms depends not only on output efficiency of division but also on stimulation level of division managers. Therefore diversified firms suboptimally invest by subsidizing poor performing business segments with resources from profitable business segments, which bring resources misallocation...
The capital allocation inefficiency has become an important factor that restricted China's sustained economic growth, long-term macroeconomic stability and low financial system risk. Along with the further reform and opening policy, the commercial bank credit rationing phenomenon is more obvious, it is easily viewed that, on the one hand there is over investment even malignancy capital increase in...
This paper calculates capital allocation efficiency (short for CAE) of the total, domestic and foreign capital (3-funds enterprises) in Chinapsilas manufacturing industry and explores this thought into the allocation of labor. Yearly CAE and labor allocation efficiency (short for LAE) are calculated out by sectional data model while capital and LAE of the total, domestic and foreign capital in different...
