This paper focuses on the construction and selection of large-scale enterprise performance evaluation. It corrects corresponding evaluation indexes for the limitation of existing evaluation system for enterprises. We adopt the actual operating data of certain province and use factor analysis method and entropy weight method to reselect key performance indexes and assign the weights, and analyze the...
Business analytics techniques help mine and analyze business/financial data. For instance, a structural support vector machine (SSVM) can be used to perform classification on complex inputs such as the nodes of a graph structure. We connect collaborating companies in the information technology sector in an undirected graph and use an SSVM to predict positive or negative movement in their stock prices...
Given the vital role of distribution units within the supply chains, this research aims to develop a comprehensive lean assessment framework that integrates Modelling and Simulation with Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess the ‘leanness’ level in distribution business. The framework is applied on a distribution centre of a leading European company in the tyre manufacturing...
Simulation-based optimisation is popularly employed to determine the best system configuration of complex simulation models. However, it is assumed that the input distribution and parameters are known. In this paper, the input distribution parameter is assumed to be unknown and the impact of the same on the optimal system configurations obtained is investigated. Bootstrapping of the sample data is...
As an emerging social media, WeChat has brought a shock both theoretically and practically, which caused the shift of service mode and content. However, research on WeChat application and its impacts on performance at firm level are rare. This study examines how WeChat use influence firm performance through customer relationship management (CRM) capability, and value co-creation. Partial least squares...
On the basis of depth study of commercial bank credit risk control model literature, this paper introduced the concepts of credit risk and credit risk control. We research the main influencing factors of commercial bank credit risk control scientifically by artificial neural network theory, and then set a commercial bank credit risk control index system which contains 3 levels of 27 indexes. Improved...
The product line optimization plays a key role to increase the revenue by satisfying consumers' various needs. While the extant studies have made the approaches from the perspective of consumers, in this paper, we propose a product line design problem from the perspective of manufacturers. The concept of neighborhood is introduced that parameterizes consumers' tolerance on specification differences...
Based on a sample of 1,684 manufacturing companies from the Taiwanese Technological Innovation Survey for the period from 2004-2006, the paper examines the relationship between different types of domestic and foreign based collaborative partners and different levels of product innovation radicalness. A complex network of relationships emerges where the level of innovation radicalness is associated...
Analytical Hierarchy Process is applied in sports research, and it makes it possible to carry out quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis in the research. This paper tries to use the Analytic Hierarchy Process in system engineering to carry on the comprehensive evaluation of sports management system and to seek a method of simple calculation and relatively objective evaluation. The judgment...
IP Geolocation is a key enabler for many areas of application like determination of an attack origin, targeted advertisement, and Content Delivery Networks. Although IP Geolocation is an ongoing field of research for over one decade, it is still a challenging task, whereas good results are only achieved by the use of active latency measurements. Nevertheless, an increased accuracy is needed to improve...
Lean and simulation analysis are driven by the same objective, how to better design and improve processes making the companies more competitive. The adoption of lean has been widely spread in companies from public to private sectors and simulation is nowadays becoming more and more popular. Several authors have pointed out the benefits of combining simulation and lean, however, they are still rarely...
While test engineering has been busy creating better and more comprehensive tests in response to an ever more complex set of electronics, its status as a profession has steadily declined. The notion that test engineering is necessary, beneficial and an economically valuable part of delivering and supporting a good product is not always recognized by management and thus the profession lacks status...
In this paper, we present a new method to sketch the common among several images. Our method captures rotation invariance by extending the local self descriptor to rotation invariance and proposes a easy method to detect a roughly similar region across the images. Our method is composed of three stages: (i) Detecting a similar region which the proportion of the common is as large as possible across...
A reference network is topologically identical to the existing network in which the generators and loads are not changed while the transmission line capacity will be optimized. By applying a reference network, the optimal transmission capacities of each line could be identified, as it takes annual operational and transmission costs into consideration. A reference network provides a standard to evaluate...
As ERP was believed to provide a lot promising benefits, many companies try to implement it in their business processes. By implementing ERP, they expect to get those promised benefits. In fact, although many companies have successfully implemented ERP systems, not all companies get the benefits of ERP system since ERP systems have not been able to diffuse in the routine of the organizations. A lot...
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...
Here, we study an Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model with temporary price discount, defective items and limited warehouse capacity. We intend to investigate a situation in retailer system in which the supplier offers a temporary discount. The retailer's ware house capacity is limited then there ia an opportunity to rent additional warehause. We also consider a condition where lot of product transfer...
Manufacturing costs and tolerance will affect the price and the quality of a product from every manufacturer company. Companies must produce high-quality products with low manufacturing costs in order to keep their products competitive in the market. However, it is difficult to produce a high-quality product with a low manufacturing cost. Companies have difficulties in determining the components to...
A Business Cloud is defined to be a collection of company datasets that are stored on the "Cloud". For simplicity, we have assumed: Each company only has one dataset. There are information flows among these datasets. Within such an environment Chinese Wall Security Policy (CWSP) is revisited. Based on the "physical" view of Brewer and Nash, the Chinese Wall policy that regulates...
As the world's economy becomes global, graduate workforce readiness is increasingly necessary. There has been a gradual shift in industry expectations of graduates from exhibiting academic expertise in a chosen discipline to a commercially adroit candidate with a strong command of, and immediate ability to apply, a broad range of skills deemed essential in the workplace [1]. With the globalization...
