    Notes: Constrained anisotropic dipole oscillator strength techniques are used to obtain reliable values for a wide range of anisotropic and isotropic dipole properties of O2, including the dipole–dipole dispersion energy coefficients for the interaction of O2 with O2, H2, N2, CO, He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe. Some of the anisotropic constraints required for our calculations are obtained via dipole sum rules from ab initio, multireference configuration interaction (CI) wave functions for the ground state of O2. The individual dipole properties of O2 considered include the dipole oscillator strength sums Sk, k=2,1,0(−1/2)−2,−3,−4,..., the logarithmic dipole sums Lk and mean excitation energies Ik, k=2(−1)−2, and, as a function of wavelength, the dynamic polarizability and its anisotropy, the total depolarization ratio, the Rayleigh scattering cross section, and the Verdet constant. Our constrained dipole oscillator strength results are often the only reliable, and sometimes the only available, ones for many of the properties and dispersion energies considered. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The operations strategy literature has identified four primary dimensions on which a firm competes with another. These are: price, quality, flexibility, and delivery dependability. Of these, quality is perhaps the most critical dimension in terms of the impact on the degree of competitiveness imparted to a firm by a competitiveness dimension. In this paper, we propose a quantitative measure - quality competitiveness index (QCI) - to determine the degree to which a firm's quality practices and policies are instrumental in improving its competitiveness. The QCI can be effectively employed for benchmarking among competing firms. More importantly, however, the process leading to the determination of QCI is itself an educative one - the weaknesses and strengths of a company with respect to its quality practices and policies come right to the fore and the company can usefully employ this information to improve competitiveness for quality.

    Notes: Over the last ten years scores of methodologies have emerged in management science/operations research/statistics that employ techniques such as mathematical programming, simulation, artificial intelligence, and clustering to convert a flexible manufacturing system into a cellular one. Based on a real-life case that involved over 1,000 components and 3,000 operations, related to a world-class furniture manufacturing company, finds that the somewhat outdated King's algorithm, after partial linearization, works as well as the other sophisticated techniques in terms of speed and problem size. Drives home the point that a shift to cellular configuration from functional layout results in across the board savings in material movement, setup times, hilo moves, WIP, work area and in manufacturing leadtime. The company under study benefited to the tune of $164,000 per year from switch to single cell. The projected savings are expected to exceed $700,000 per year when the reconfiguration is completed.

    Notes: By means of a case study, illustrates how a Midwest service organization in the USA was able to improve the efficiency and productivity of its support staff. Suggests that the process can be used by other service organizations wanting to improve the efficiency and productivity of their support staff personnel.

    Notes: Lending to small businesses has not been perceived to be profitable for banks. This paper demonstrates, by means of a case study, how a Midwest bank in the USA took a proactive approach to turn things around. The proposed reengineering process should produce savings of at least 50 percent in direct underwriting cost. The proposed approach can be used by other banks to obtain similar benefits.

    Notes: Examines the issue of implementing quality management (QM) programmes in the hospitality industry by grouping the prescriptive literature into four research streams. Based on the literature, suggests a proactive approach to implementing QM in the hospitality industry. Finally, provides issues related to QM in the hospitality sector, which need to be addressed in the future.

    Notes: This study was initiated to develop insights into the strategic directions and operational priorities West Michigan manufacturing organizations are setting for themselves. Specifically, this study examines the applicability and actual implementation of operations strategy elements by small and large West Michigan manufacturing organizations. Sixty-seven West Michigan firms participated in this study. The results indicate that large firms are more advanced when it comes to the implementation of six of the seven operations strategies.

    Notes: Illustrates how quality function deployment (QFD) can be used tomeasure customer satisfaction in educational institutions. Specifically,utilizes QFD in evaluating the MBA programme at Grand Valley StateUniversity. The inputs for the QFDs were obtained through severalbrainstorming sessions of MBA students, faculty members, administrators,and business people. The preliminary results of the pilot field testshow that QFD is a very useful tool in ascertaining customer desires,prioritizing them, and directing organizational resources towardscustomer satisfaction.

    Notes: Technical specifications may not in themselves guarantee that a customer's requirements will be consistently met, if there happen to be any deficiencies in the specifications or in the organizational system designed to produce the product or service. It was in this context that the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) started its work on quality standardization. Offers an overview of the key concepts underlying the quality management and quality assurance standards that have come to be known as the "ISO 9000 series". Presents the main themes of the ISO 9000 literature followed by a case study of a large manufacturing organization that has recently achieved the ISO 9000 certification. Explains the eight-step process used by the company to achieve its registration. Although the certification process was lengthy and the documentation extensive, ISO can help the company gain substantial operational and financial benefits.
