    Notes: Describes the application of the Group Technology concept in scheduling industrial bag production in a woven products division of a bag manufacturer. The labour assignments, determined through a linear goal programming model, minimize unbalanced workloads among the operations. This study shows a new application area of the Group Technology concept which leads to a better solution of labour assignments and provides management with valuable information essential to the development of a strategic competitive advantage.

    Parts remanufacturing in the oilfield industry (2005)

    Notes: Purpose - Provide a new technique for forecasting parts usage in remanufacturing operations and describe its application to oil field equipment operations. Design/methodology/approach - New "correlated forecasting preprocessing" equations were derived for extracting additional information from a matrix of historical parts usage data. They were applied to both synthetic data and actual data from a large oil field remanufacturer. Findings - The new equations were effective in extracting the necessary pre-forecasting data from both synthetic and actual data sets. The key to effective preprocessing is using the correlation information from the entire parts usage matrix rather than just rely on bill of materials relationships. Practical implications - Accurate forecasting is vital to manufacturing at all levels of aggregation from the smallest part to the entire facility and for all planning horizons from days to years. Forecasting is an operations manager's first line of defense in inventory control. The addition of a preprocessing step makes the application of traditional forecasting methods yield significantly better results. Originality/value - The concept of using the partial correlations present in a parts usage matrix, instead of attempting to apply bill of material relationships, is new. The resulting preprocessing equations are new. The value of improved forecasting is that it directly impacts manufacturing profitability.

    Notes: Outsourcing has become an important strategic tool in today's competitive business environment. This paper describes the steps within four stages of outsourcing process: planning, developing, implementing and evaluation. The role of outsourcing being not only a cost-saving method but also part of the overall management strategy to focus on core competitiveness is emphasized in the discussion. Additionally, the detailed steps and considerations that are required for successful implementation of an outsourcing effort are also addressed.

    Information network technology in the banking industry (2004)

    Notes: The banking and thrift industries are experiencing a technological metamorphosis. New technologies such as advanced computer operating systems, wide and local area networks (WAN, LAN), and the Internet, are becoming significant strategic areas for financial institutions. The impact, composition, and trends of information technology on the banking and thrift institutions within a seven-state region of the southeastern United States are examined. Bank characteristics such as asset size, number of employees, number of full service locations, areas of lending, and return on assets are evaluated in relation to the status, scope, and experience with computer network systems. Research indicates that a number of bank composition and operations variables behaved statistically independent between size variables (assets, number of employees, and number of branches) and WAN access. The survey data also indicate that return on assets and network system variables are independent. Therefore, networks systems have not had a direct impact on the bottom line.

    Notes: Several studies indicate that a JIT implementation process is contingentand a kind of "do-it-yourself-procedure". Addresses the issue of JITimplementation by integrating the findings from recently publishedarticles from a number of professional journals. The conclusion stronglysupports the notion that a JIT implementation process is contingent innature. Despite a great diversity of elements mentioned in the JITimplementation articles, the quality-related, the vendor-related, andthe production-related practices seem to play an important role in JITimplementation. Also, there is an increasing number of articles thatspecifically deal with the human-related practices such as communicationand co-worker relations.

    TQM payback experience in manufacturing firms (1995)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Industrial management & data systems 95 (1995), S. 3-8

    Notes: An extensive search of the literature showed no data on the paybacktimes associated with moving to a total quality management (TQM) styleof management. Given the company-wide nature of the undertaking, and thefact that TQM conversion is generally considered to be a long-term,difficult process, this finding was unexpected. A survey ofmanufacturing companies showed that the initial investment associatedwith shifting to TQM was recouped in one year for 42.3 per cent of theresponding companies. Payback times were two years or less for 65.4 percent of the companies and three years or less for 80.8 per cent of thecompanies. All companies that reported quantitative data expected theirTQM efforts to be profitable eventually, if not already so. Thus,despite the substantial training, reorganization and systemsmodification costs, initial TQM investments are being paid back within atime frame similar to that for other large financial undertakings. Thelack of financially unfavourable TQM programmes among the surveyrespondents suggests that the probability of financial success is high.

    TQM success efforts: use more quantitative or qualitative tools? (1997)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Industrial management & data systems 97 (1997), S. 264-270 
    Details

    Topics: Computer Science , Economics
    Notes: Total quality management is an approach to continuous organizational improvement, the goal of which is meeting customers' needs. Two major TQM components are the use of statistical tools to help abolish non-value-added activities, and a change in managers' behaviour, and from those who direct, are competitive, rely on rules, towards managers who lead, guide, co-operate, focus on the process, view people as assets, and encourage variety, flexibility, etc. TQM programmes are not always effective; some focus more on statistical issues while others focus on more people issues. Examines the association of several variables used in TQM implementations in hospitals, manufacturing, and service organizations. Examines variables against two groupings of qualitative measures of TQM and quantitative measures of TQM. Depicts the successfulness of TQM and whether qualitative or quantitative measures are a determinant of this success. The research hypothesis is: TQM programmes are successful in organizations when their approach to TQM is based on the application of statistical process control tools/principles rather than solely on qualitative measures.

    Electrochemical studies of the interaction of tetraphenylporphyrin tetrasulfonate (TPPS) with albumin (1999)

    Notes: Abstract An electrochemical investigation of the interaction of TPPS with BSA on a Hg electrode is reported for the first time. The addition of BSA to TPPS solution results in a decrease of both the reduction and the oxidation current with no change of the peak potentials. In presence of BSA, no new peaks appear, and the standard rate constant k s is not significantly changed. The reaction of TPPS with BSA yields a kind of supramolecular complex TPPS-BSA, which is electrochemically non-active. The equilibrium constant for the complex has been calculated. The decrease of the peak current can be used to determine BSA concentrations.

    Notes: Abstract Electrochemical investigation of the interaction of 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ) with hemoglobin (HB) on a mercury electrode is reported for the first time. On addition of hemoglobin to an anthraquinone solution, both the reduction and oxidation currents decrease, with increasing peak separation. In the presence of hemoglobin, no new peaks appear, but the electrochemical parameters (standard rate constantk s and diffusion coefficientD) change significantly. Reaction of anthraquinone with hemoglobin forms an electrochemically active complex HB-AQ. The equilibrium constant for this complex is calculated to be 3.27 × 105 l/mol. A satisfactory result has been obtained for the determination of hemoglobin in clinical blood samples.
