This paper describes a virtual manufacturing system consisting of technology computer-aided design tools for semiconductor manufacturing companies. This virtual factory is shown to be very efficient for development of advanced process technology evaluation of process manufacturability, and improvement of existing fabrication processes. By using computer aids, the design and manufacturability of the target technology can be evaluated prior to actual silicon processing, and a company can establish a competitive edge in manufacturing. The technical limitations of computer-aided design tools and the managerial responsibilities in adopting a virtual manufacturing system for integrated circuits manufacturing are also discussed.

Information technology (IT) outsourcing has become a common practice among firms who are doing everything possible to stay alive in today's highly competitive business environment. Since some types of information technology services can be used to enhance the firm's competitive position in the industry, firms are faced with the difficult task of deciding which services should be outsourced. In this paper, Analytic Hierarchy Process is proposed as a tool that can effectively handle the complex, qualitative decision variables involved in IT outsourcing decision making. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate that the attributes of this tool can be used to improve the decision quality.

This paper presents an overview of outsourcing as a means of performing tasks beyond, the scope of the permanent core staff of your organization, by having a wide variety of companies at your disposal to work with you, supplying their specific expertise on a job-by-job or project-by-project basis. This allows your company to stay focused and have the freedom to operate and maintain specialized business pursuits without carrying the heavy burden of large overhead during downturns in the business cycle. The paper concludes with a specific example of a lesser known application in outsourcing with respect to heavy engineering.

The virtual enterprise integrates business components located in multiple locations using technological aids for business communication. All enterprises seek to optimize the use of business resources, including communication technologies, in order to achieve maximum total utility for the enterprise. A business design process is proposed which may enable the enterprise to attain the optimum use of resources in the pursuit of the virtual enterprise.

Career development contributes towards (i) answering fundamental concerns regarding the need for human resources planning in a virtual corporation; (ii) satisfying this need through human resources recruitment; (iii) putting emphasis on skills during human resources evaluation; and (iv) expanding those skills with training. This paper shows how career development represents a route that should be privileged as far as these contributions are concerned.

A methodolgy/courseware for introducing such a quality system in software development organizations is described in this paper. The authors used the ISO standardization (ISO 9000-3: Standard for QA in design/development, production, installation and servicing) as the basis of the methodology and refined it with well known related process models. It is not limited to the standard but also concerns human factors regarding the continual improvements toward the quality system within training programs and group-work. The methodology is supported by an integrated software product which enables software process assessments and goal definitions and offers a hypertext based software-process-improvement knowledge base.

A new aggregation method-Minimum Distance Method (MDMJ)-was developed to support the group decision process and to help decision makers achieve consensus under the framework of AHP. MDM employs the general distance concept, and is proven to be very appealing to the compromise nature of a group decision making. It preserves all characteristics of the functional equations approach proposed by Aczel and Saaty (1987). MDM is based on a goal programming model, which is easy to solve by using optimization software such as LINDO. Using the goal programming model, MDM provides the weighted membership capability. Sensitivity analysis can be performed to investigate the effect of varying the decision makers' relative importance in terms of weights in the goal programming model. Sensitivity analysis also allows us to make robust decisions.

Successful virtual enterprises are highly dependent on productive and efficient employees. A mix of technical knowledge, behavior attributes, and leadership skills enable a virtual associate. Enterprises can no longer employ professionals from "cradle to grave ". In a competitive, global environment where value added and cost containment are key, the virtual employee reins.

Three distinct, but related concepts are discussed in this paper: a six step virtual enterprise life cycle, enterprise processes organized into three management functions and an organizational model known as integrated decentralization. When combined, the three conceptual models form an integrated enterprise management model that is equally applicable to single firms operating in extended enterprises and to multi-firm virtual enterprises. The structure and operating model of Northrop Grumman's Commercial Aircraft Division is described to provide an example of a firm that conducts business using the integrated enterprise management model.

The paper argues from a resource based standpoint of the firm, that central to any organization's strategy must be a focus on the way in which it manages its core organizational knowledge base. While there may be an expanding literature in support of this notion there are few case studies of best practice. Using one case study from an MNC over a five year period, the paper shows how the knowledge management concept might begin to be realized in this instance, with particular emphasis on knowledge creation.
