The Mining Engineering technology innovation capacity has become an important issue in the world of academic research, it has drawn increasing social organization, attention and supervision of government departments, and the current security-related drugs more responsibility for its own particularity. In this paper, empirical studies BP neural network MATLAB simulation experiments, Mining Engineering...
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...
On account of great significance of financial distress prediction for corporations, it is essential to construct an effective prediction model for managers and investors. Traditional financial distress prediction methods design static models using samples within a period of time, but the static models are insensitive to changes, such as concept drift in financial distress. This paper proposed a dynamic...
Increasing of population leads to escalation of demand needs which results in busier logistics activitities. Collaborative strategy has become an alternative to manage these activities, depending on the conditions in a certain location. This paper applied collaborative distribution model to Yogyakarta city, in order to see whether the collaboration is beneficial. The performance of collaborative distribution...
Establishment of an improved model for assessing criticality of waste in maintenance operation strongly supports the creation of sustainable manufacturing. However, contribution of previous maintenance engineering studies to above issue is very limited. If any, it is very few intended to create a model for ranking criticality of maintenance waste using risk management tool. In spite of the fact that...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system provides a facility for the integration of business functions within the organisation. Previous studies proved that the potential benefits that can be obtained from ERP system had not been achieved. ERP system impacts at the individual level such as improved control becomes one of the success dimensions of ERP implementation. The purpose of this study is to...
Open configuration is proposed to assist companies in configuring products that can meet both unforeseen and predefined customer requirements. This study investigates the open configuration process and proposes an approach based on cloud computing. Based on a cloud, the open configuration process includes three sub-processes: new component specification, constraint processing, and component modification...
With the emergence of a knowledge driven economy, these are times of brisk business for institutions providing training to professionals. The flipside of this is that there is an ever increasing demand on them to create a growing number of new courses, and serve an ever increasing flow of customers ata faster and faster pace. In its various flavours, this problem is faced by MOOC/online course providers,...
Social media captures voice of customers at a rapid pace. Consumer perception of a brand is crucial to its success. Current techniques for measuring brand perception using lengthy surveys of handpicked users in person, by mail, phone or online are time consuming and increasingly inadequate. A more effective technique to measure brand perception is to interpret customer voice directly from social media...
The location selection of distribution centers is one of important strategies to optimize the logistics system. To solve this problem, this paper presents a new multi-actor multi-attribute decision-making method based on ELECTRE I. The proposed method helps decision-makers to select a preferred location from a given set of locations for implementing. The strength of the proposed method is to incorporate...
Financial news and stocks appear linked to the point where the use of online news to forecast the markets has become a major selling point for some traders. The correlation between news content and stock returns is clearly of interest, but has been mostly centred on news meta-data, such as volume and popularity. We address this question here by measuring the correlation between the returns of 27 publicly...
A multi-year research project focused on a global aerospace company's design-to-production transition, and in particular how to answer production-related questions much earlier in a program's design cycle than is possible today. A fundamental difficulty is that the time and expertise required to formulate appropriate analysis models prevents their routine use, especially in new program development...
There are many situations in the modern world where influence is a subtle, but significant, factor. Business and politics abound with a myriad of instances that each must be analyzed and understood for the right course of action to be determined and followed. This paper proposes a model for analyzing these situations without resorting to constructing entirely new software systems for each. The reuse...
In this research, a make or buy analysis model is developed to determine an optimal set of processes and suppliers to minimize manufacturing costs, purchasing costs, quality loss, scrap cost and lateness cost considering the process capability, manufacturing capacity, customer orders, and the routing of the manufacturing process in the multistage manufacturing processes. The constraints of the model...
Supplier selection/evaluation is considered as a critical activity for establishing an effective supply chain. This is particularly relevant to situations where a large number of global suppliers are involved, as is in the case of a pharmaceutical set-up. The current study focuses on a multi-criteria decision making problem which includes both qualitative and quantitative criteria relevant to supplier...
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...
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have established a reputation in the world of business as indispensables tools that integrate all departments and functions across a company into a single computer system. However, implementing an ERP system does not always result in enhanced organizational performance. In order to ensure successful implementation, companies should study the critical factors...
The highly competitive global environment of the last few decades has urged companies to rely on Information Systems (IS) in order to improve customer service, reduce costs and increase productivity. In that direction, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are being used as significant strategic tools that provide competitive advantages and lead to operational excellence. Despite that, ERP implementation...
The short-term forecast of electricity consumption plays a vital role in the effective management of allocated resources to electricity generation. A reduction in the average forecasting error of 1% can save thousands or even millions of dirhams in an electricity generation unit. Therefore, predicting the electricity consumption is necessary to minimize costs of over or under production. The work...
