The growth of micro, small and medium enterprises of fashion industry in Bandung is very rapidly and thus the industry has to face the growing competitiveness challenge. The implementation of ERP is considered to be a strategy to support sales growth, increase management ability, enhance marketing network and also strengthen the company competitiveness. In order to be effectively implemented to achieve...
Taiwanese memory packaging and testing factories include Powertech, ChipMOS, ASE, SPIL, Walton and FATC. The global three first tier giants, Samsung Electronics, Hynix and Micron, have predicted that the DRAM market in 2014 will be more stable. With the three-giant monopolization taking shape, the strategic alliance and corresponding excess profits of back-end packaging factories are expected to be...
Rogue websites support their operations through advertising, where advertising networks facilitate the placement of advertising banners paid for by advertisers who seek the most "relevant" eyeballs. While mainstream advertisers risk harm to their brands by being associated with illicit activities on the internet, they also risk harms to users through the co-location of ads for high-risk...
Media coverage and public perception of topics such as child labor, exploitation of workers, and ecological malpractice have risen considerably over the last years. A rising number of executives therefore consider sustainability issues both in their companies and in companies' supply chains. However, a holistic approach towards sustainability requires management control (also referred to as management...
Women in Australia continue to be under-represented in the engineering profession particularly in electrical engineering. Attracting students of both genders into engineering by relying on the traditional funnel management approach is inadequate. The focus of this paper is based on the experience of the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of New South Wales in...
Firms rely more and more on external collaboration partners to reduce the R&D cost as well as shorten the product life cycle. Open innovation become a new paradigm for firms to become competitive in a highly dynamic business environment. Firm's collaboration partner extents from customers, suppliers to university, research institute, and even competitors, the resource based view hold that different...
As engineering disciplines evolve, universities are challenged to continually incorporate new material into the undergraduate curriculum. Traditionally, the two primary methods of incorporating new material are to either change the curriculum of a specific class or hire a new instructor to teach a new class. In our paper, we introduce a new model for introducing skills and tools necessary for undergraduates...
This paper summarizes development and implementation of innovative education approach based on remote education resources. The main field of concern is power electronics. Presented results are based on three representative education initiatives running in succession since year 2007. First initiative is EDIPE project (E-learning Distance Interactive Practical Education), year 2007. The remote education...
In this paper, the authors present an engineering approach for generating automation system solutions based on formalised requirements. This enables assistant systems which guide engineers during the design phase of todays more and more complex automation systems. A software prototype is used for the evaluation of this approach in practice. The main contribution is to directly use a formal requirements...
The integration of package units in a SCADA or DCS involves considerable manual effort. Various aspects of automation such as faceplates, states of sequences or interlocks have to be reproduced for the visualization and management of the package unit in the master control system. The integration effort can be reduced using existing technologies, which could also be extended to a modular plug-and-produce...
Modern economic activities rely on logistics to support the flow of goods, but the logistics activities consume a lot of resources, and cause much pollution. Green logistics is therefore an inevitable trend in the development of the logistics industry and can even minimize the logistic costs. One of the top Taiwan manufacturers of TFT-LCD panels in the world with a market share of 15.2% in large-sized...
Educators in emerging and developing countries face the challenge of conveying international software engineering concepts within their local contexts, cultures and environments. In Brazil, where the local software industry is domestically focused, this becomes a factor in the development and expansion of the local software industries. This paper investigates the issue of localization of software...
The related factors affecting the quality of the project are analyzed, the correlation of financial information and factors affecting the quality of the project is elaborated, and this paper analyzes the relationship between financial information and the quality of the project. According to these relations, the related reference formula is proposed, according to these formulas, the broadly engineering...
This paper presents an overview of evolving phosphor converted light emitting diode (LED) technology employed in general lighting applications. Its aim is to present technical developments alongside discussion regarding commercial implications and constraints. It integrates a number of elements that typically remain rather disparate. In itself the material does not represent a technological breakthrough...
This article presents the "Nutrition at Play" Behavior Modification Technology with which the promotion of the consumption of fruits and vegetables is aimed. The technology is based on the guidelines of the Brazilian Ministry of Health’s Alimentary Guide, and on the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Modification. It was designed for adult audiences, industry workers, aware or unaware of...
University education in software engineering instructs sound theoretical concepts together with method competence. It seeks to provide hands-on experience with the learning content along with insights into its application in practice. Even theoretical disciplines are beginning to adopt more experience-oriented instruction as opposed to passive, lecture-oriented instruction. One favored way for experience-oriented...
The objective of this paper is to propose a system-of-system framework for bottom-up assessment of complex engineering projects. The traditional project management paradigm is mainly based on centralized planning and control. The centralized planning and control are rooted in a reductionism perspective in which engineering projects are identified as monolithic systems while, in reality, complex engineering...
