Production Engineering and Management under Fuzziness by Cengiz Kahraman,Mesut Yavuz Pdf

Production engineering and management involve a series of planning and control activities in a production system. A production system can be as small as a shop with only one machine or as big as a global operation including many manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and retail locations in multiple continents. The product of a production system can also vary in complexity based on the material used, technology employed, etc. Every product, whether a pencil or an airplane, is produced in a system which depends on good management to be successful. Production management has been at the center of industrial engineering and management science disciplines since the industrial revolution. The tools and techniques of production management have been so successful that they have been adopted to various service industries, as well. The book is intended to be a valuable resource to undergraduate and graduate students interested in the applications of production management under fuzziness. The chapters represent all areas of production management and are organized to reflect the natural order of production management tasks. In all chapters, special attention is given to applicability and wherever possible, numerical examples are presented. While the reader is expected to have a fairly good understanding of the fuzzy logic, the book provides the necessary notation and preliminary knowledge needed in each chapter.

An Introduction to Efficiency and Productivity Analysis by Timothy J. Coelli,Dodla Sai Prasada Rao,George Edward Battese Pdf

An Introduction to Efficiency and Productivity Analysis is designed as a primer for anyone seeking an authoritative introduction to efficiency and productivity analysis. It is a systematic treatment of four relatively new methodologies in Efficiency/Production Analysis: (a) Least-Squares Econometric Production Models, (b) Total Factor Productivity (TFP) Indices, (c) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and (d) Stochastic Frontiers. Each method is discussed thoroughly. First, the basic elements of each method are discussed using models to illustrate the method's fundamentals, and, second, the discussion is expanded to treat the extensions and varieties of each method's uses. Finally, one or more case studies are provided as a full illustration of how each methodology can be used. In addition, all four methodologies will be linked in the book's presentation by examining the advantages and disadvantages of each method and the problems to which each method can be most suitably applied. The book offers the first unified text presentation of methods that will be of use to students, researchers and practitioners who work in the growing area of Efficiency/Productivity Analysis. The book also provides detailed advice on computer programs which can be used to calculate the various measures. This involves a number of presentations of computer instructions and output listings for the SHAZAM, TFPIP, DEAP and FRONTIER computer programs.

Organizational Analysis of the Productivity Impacts of Information Technology by Angela Amor Pdf

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: B, University of South Australia, language: English, abstract: Productivity is very important to any financial system due to its importance when it comes to assessing economic growth and it is recognized as the basis for economic success, an important prerequisite for the development of Nations and also as a crucial pointer of economic competitiveness in all organizations. It must be noted from the outset that this study will use that united states as an example and everything will be analysed in terms of the US Information Technology(IT) is one of the resources in an organization which helps in boosting financial growth. IT assists organizations to make good use of their input resources. Organizations that invest in IT need to know how their investments are going to pay off, considering that in the modern world, investment in IT is increasingly representing a major part of the capital investment in many organizations. Apart from this, discussions on whether IT does improve on the productivity and effectiveness of an organization has increasingly become a major part of the research arena. It is the view point of this research that IT is incapable of making any major differences in an organization unless it is used in conjunction with other corresponding investments in an organization such as human investment, and organizational reorganization. IT plays the role of a facilitator when it comes to the restructuring process of an organization which is also known as the Business Process Reengineering. BPR is also an important aspect of improving the effects of IT in the general performance of an organization. Besides, IT and BPR are capable of improving the productivity of an organization tremendously when combined.
