If total quality management (TQM) was the key management concept of the decade of the 1980s, then surely reengineering has become the concept for the 1990s. Popular views on reengineering include: reengineering has supplanted TQM, reengineering alternates with TQM allowing for continuous improvement between periods of radical change, and reengineering has peaked and is on its way out. In this article, the authors examine these concepts and views, explores the relation of reengineering to TQM, and demonstrates that these views are incorrect or, at best, incomplete.

A "Do It Better Each Time" strategy has been promoted in quality management literature, in preference to the "Do It Right First Time" approach to managing quality. This paper discusses these concepts from the viewpoints of the traditional quality management "gurus": Philip B. Crosby, W. Edwards Deming, and Joseph M. Juran, and examines how they relate to current quality management philosophies.
“每次做得更好”的策略在质量管理文献中得到了推广，而不是“第一次就做对”的质量管理方法。本文从传统质量管理“大师”Philip B. Crosby、W. Edwards Deming和Joseph M. Juran的观点出发，讨论了这些概念，并考察了它们与当前质量管理哲学的关系。

This paper outlines the use of new tools in the design of electronics products. The need for the use of these new tools is illustrated with examples of the adverse effects on manufacturing and the penalty of bringing a product late to the market. The new tools are a combination of circuit simulation, which is used to evaluate circuit performance, and statistical tools, such as Monte Carlo simulation, Cp & Cpk measurement, and design centering. The statistical tools are used for evaluating the effect of component tolerances and to optimise the design.

The growing globalization of enterprise has raised many cross-cultural management issues that involve both national and organizational cultures. Solutions sought through joint ventures have led to synergistic success, or to culture-clash induced failures. One frequent failure mode is in the area of any envisaged technology transfer. A more mutually acceptable and sustainable concept of 'technology exchange' is proposed on the basis of the totality of technology, including organizational, human and information components. Such a technology exchange framework increases the probability of success of a joint venture, of its management and of the project itself.

Neural networks, an emerging technique in artificial intelligence, has a strong appeal for a wide range of applications. Seldom has the concept been related directly to supply chain management, it has however been applied in a number of areas which constitute the core elements of supply chains. This paper gives a general introduction to neural networks and explains the ways in which it can contribute to supply chain management.

Transfer of technology means transfer of knowledge or services from one place to another place or any geographical shift in this world. At first glance technology transfer seems a simple process depending on the market and profit but a successful process depends on proper identification, correct evaluation, true partnership and successful commercialization. This article focuses on the successful transfer of technology in the Pacific Rim Countries. This article is divided into different chapters that describes the global situation, comparative study of ASEAN countries and factors that brought about this change.

This paper focuses on the role that engineering data management (EDM) can play in helping to integrate the various activities involved in concurrent product development, e.g. design, development, manufacturing and support. The paper looks at findings from reviews of current development processes and highlights the varying forms of EDM. The benefits of EDM and ways to avoid pitfalls of implementation are also discussed, in addition to a real life case study at IBM, UK. In conclusion, the paper highlights the necessity of EDM in order to promote a concurrent engineering (CE) environment to allow for efficient product development.

A formal product development framework helped in the transfer of technology. There are two problems in the product development process. Firstly, the management of creativity and secondly, the project management problem. The creative process may be facilitated by a systemic framework. A structured framework facilitates the retention of organizational learning. Efficiency in development is enhanced by systematic review of effort at defined milestones. This framework must be geared towards a vision to acquired development capability to further the purpose of the organization. This paper reports the success of one company's effort to acquire development capability and effect the process of technology transfer.

Management of large software has become a very important aspect of software engineering. Some tools exist in literature which help in the process of verification and validation. This paper highlights some of the existing literature in this area. The paper also gives some salient points to take into account in the verification and validation process.

In this paper, the authors address the problem of designing flexible plant layouts for manufacturing facilities where product demands are subject to variability. A flexible layout is one that maintains low material handling costs despite fluctuations in the product demand levels. The authors extend existing procedures for design of flexible layouts by: (1) explicitly capturing the stochastic nature of product demands and the resulting material variability in flows between different processing departments; (2) allowing for the possibility of multiple processing departments of the same type in the same facility; and (3) letting material flows between pairs of individual departments be determined simultaneously with the layout and as function of the demand scenarios. Optimal and heuristic methods are presented for generating flexible layouts and determining flow allocations under various design and operation assumptions.
