Due to the current demands from the market, technological improvements and action of competitors, manufacturing companies are pushed to compete in shorter product development cycles. This poses a great challenge, as the conventional product development cycle is shortened. Hence, companies are forced to introduce some improvement action plans and adopt certain manufacturing operational strategies to...
A considerable demand of real-time business intelligence analysis persuade enterprise application vendors to cope with state-of-the-art computing technologies such as cloud computing and in-memory data management systems, to provide business owners with systems “predicting the future”. A general review and study of enterprise systems' history helps to better understand what such systems will be in...
Information systems (IS) are frequently modified according to changes in enterprise business and operating models and other internal and external factors that influence the enterprise. The changes are systematically managed following the engineering change management (ECM) process. The main issue in the ECM process is that the IS changes and their impact frequently are not evaluated with respect to...
As technology has evolved, so too has the way which we store information: Simple items like photographs which, in the past we could have flicked through in a printed album, are now often only stored online. If they are not accessible online, they will therefore not be accessible at all once we are no longer around to locate them. This may have a psychological impact on the people we leave behind....
This paper discusses determination of transmission connection capacities based on distribution regions. In a deregulated environment in which generation and distribution parts of power system are deregulated, planning of transmission system investments is a cumbersome task. In addition, transmission system operators (TSO) have no direct control over plant investments. Instead, several mechanisms introduced...
Making a decision with taking into account many criteria under uncertainty cases is really tough problem for decision authorities in all business sectors. In order to handle the problem, multi-criteria decision making techniques are developed. Multi-criteria decision problem is come up for planning engineers in electricity distribution sector to select the best solution. In this paper, three different...
The Indonesian Government policy on Local Content Requirement (LCR) for the telecommunications equipment industry has an impact on the growth of Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) Companies in Indonesia. To improve the accuracy of information and efficiency of administration tasks, EMS Companies need an integrated system. It is well-known that Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is an integrated...
When a customer uses a service, he might change his initial requirement due to subjective reasons that could not be predicated by service providers. If this happened, service providers need to adjust the current service solution to adapt the new requirement with the objective of minimizing the change amplitude and cost. Placing this problem into AI-planning based service composition (PSC) scenario,...
Suppose that similar terminals of several companies are in relative proximity to each other. Each company carries out transportation and storage of cargoes. If the terminal is crowded then the company can rent a portion of a terminal of another company. On contrary, if the terminal of some company is not sufficiently loaded, then the portion of the terminal can be suggested in the lease to another...
This work considers the fuzzy computing based approach applied to the construction of an intellectual information system for decision support. An algorithm is presented for calculation of an integral hierarchical value of the company's competitiveness on the basis of linguistic assessment of components that characterize such business aspects as the price level, the quality of products and services,...
Globally, it has been ascertained that the implementation of software quality assurance practices throughout the software development cycle yields quality software products that satisfies the user and meets specified requirements. The awareness and adoption of these techniques has recorded increase in the quality and patronage of software products. However, in developing countries like Nigeria indigenous...
This paper discusses the implementation of a tactical network simulation tool. The tool is called Tactical Network Modeller (TNM). TNM uses some novel techniques to simplify the building of the network model using graph theory constrained by a hierarchical tree which reflects the organisation structure. TNM allows models to be constructed using an Application Programming Interface (API) or a node...
According to changes in the concept of quality of software products in recent years and in the profiles of professionals and customers, more and more companies prioritize agility and quality of their deliveries in order to meet their demands. A new way to guide the development of projects, which is adapted to this recent reality, is becoming increasingly popular in the IT market around the world:...
ORG, fictitious name, is a large company with complex-globally distributed projects that has recently started a "big-bang" transition to agile. About a year ago the new CIO announced it was time to aim for faster deliveries and decided on a company-wide roll-out to agile, including legacy systems. In this paper we report on an interview-based qualitative study that aimed to identify the...
This article does a scanning of the Scrum agile method checking its adherence to the level G of the quality model proposed by MPS.BR. It was observed that it does not fully meet the expected results of this level. Thus, the objective of this work is to propose an adaptation of the Scrum, able to meet the requirements of the level G with basis on the experience of the implementers, evaluators and the...
Nobody likes sitting in a car which is in a traffic jam. If you are in a traffic jam, you think over the opportunities how you could escape from it as soon as possible. In this paper, an imaginary system is introduced which supports the car drivers of a city. The intelligent route planner system could show how you can more easily avoid the traffic jams of the city. Moreover, it provides other actual...
Many definitions for operations strategy appear in literature. Yet, after analysing some of these important definitions, there were some common denominators: planning and decision-making. It is through correct operations strategy planning and decisions that organizations achieve competitive edge, and for this reason, the subject is of major importance. In this paper we present a review on operations...
The Demand-Driven MRP (DDMRP) is a recent method focusing on manufacturing and distribution flows that is supposed to manage uncertainties better than traditional Manufacturing Resources Planning (MRP). Nevertheless, this assertion has never been scientifically demonstrated. In this paper, a case study is investigated in order to objectively and quantitatively compare these two systems. A Discrete-Event...
