A survey of software industry professionals revealed trends involving efficiency and cost, security and safety, innovation, the digital transformation, connectivity, and governance and compliance. On the basis of the survey and personal experience in the industry, researchers have developed recommendations on how software development organizations can deal with these trends.
The estimation of customer interruption costs is a challenging task. Understanding the true economic impacts of unwanted power interruptions is a must for planning purposes and for the decision making on electric energy policies. All methodologies that have been adopted to analyze the problem have strong and weak points. This paper presents the outage cost estimations for the small and medium scale...
This paper presents an empirically grounded model, which links organizational learning to pattern-specific fixed costs. The approach described in this paper helps fab managers make fundamental strategic decisions concerning product design and product mix by engaging in scenario planning. Four critical aspects of managing pattern-specific fixed cost are analyzed in detail - sensitivity to time, design...
Customer service level and cost are two elements that create corporation competitive advantage in auto industry. A model is established proving that current logistics mode-same replenishment policy to all parts have to sacrifice one when achieving another. So a distinguished replenishment policy to hub is discussed. The mode is composed of three steps. Parts classification: according to holding risk...
This paper deals with the isolation of the failed components in the system. Each component can be affected in a random way by failures. The detection of the state of a component or a subsystem is carried out using tests. The objective of this research is to exploit the techniques of built in test and available knowledge to generate the sequence of tests which makes it possible to locate quickly the...
This paper investigates the influence of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy sources (RESs) on the cost and emission of electricity. Based on the data collected from Melbourne in Australia, the power system with EVs and the power system with both EVs and RESs have been simulated to compare with conventional power systems in terms of the cost and emission of electricity. The simulation results...
The speech summarizes the profle of telecom industry in China and presents latest status and major evolution trends of optical networks for backbone, metropolitan area network and access network in China. Focus will be on the latest rapid FTTH development by China Telecommunications Corporation in particular.
Research of driving forces of industrial evolution has long been a focus. Some literatures have deepened the theoretical and empirical analysis from the perspective of evolutionary economics. This paper provides a theoretical framework to analyze how the heterogeneity promoting industrial evolution under the conditions of cost difference and product diversity. Then we draw a conclusion that both the...
This paper presents a design of intelligent operating system for effective pollution control facilities by utilizing IT-based machine-to-machine (M2M) converged technology. By comparing proposed system with conventional system, we describe the benefits of proposed system in terms of flexible capacity, operation, cost, and performance efficiency.
Study on the enterprise's technology innovation from the perspective of VE is to consider innovation as an activity or a process, and the purpose of analysis is to make a choice of the innovation strategy by functions and life-cycle cost analysis. Technological innovation strategy is an overall planning on technological innovation activities and can be divided into three types such as the innovation...
Analyzed and evaluated the impact of quality and value indexes the result of the life cycle of the product. Formalized the optimization procedures of quality / value parameters of model structure for the achievement of pre-performance caused by the objective function.
World photovoltaic industry has an average growth rate of 49.5% over the past five years. Chinese photovoltaic industry has a fast pace of growth at an annual rate of 400%. While our photovoltaic generation market is really small, the installation production is less than 2% of the battery production in 2007, 98% solar cells and components are exported to foreign countries. Thus, the serious lack of...
