This paper focuses on the application of the text clustering technology on the customer service records in mobile telecommunication enterprises. The classification of the customer service records is condensed from 9 to 7 through text converting and data clustering. Based on the new classification of customer service records, a knowledge-based customer service system is established. The establishment of the system uses the theories and practices of case based reasoning (CBR) for reference to improve the present system, and puts more emphasis on the significance of customer knowledge classification in the operation of the system. The conclusions of this paper provide guide for mobile telecommunication enterprises to improve customers' satisfaction by the use of new system

The decision of planning and scheduling for phosphor-chemical enterprise is very complex and difficult, which is a research area that needs to be studied thoroughly. In this paper, a model optimizing planning and scheduling for a phosphor-chemical enterprise is presented in consideration of the operation processes, including mining, mineral processing and chemical fertilizer producing. Also, some numerical examples for the model are computed and analyzed for the purpose of illustration. The results show that it is very useful for an enterprise to optimize production planning and scheduling

Effectively integrating the information and material flows within the demand and supply process is what supply chain management is all about. A supply chain management information system (SCMIS) is user-interfaced and designed to provide information and information processing capability to support the strategy, operations, management analysis, and decision-making functions in an organization's supply network. SCMIS provides high quality, relevant and timely information flow that effectively supports decision-making for inventory replenishment, capacity activation, and for synchronizing material flows at all tiers within the supply chain. In recent years, there have been some efforts on designing an efficient information system for supply chain management; but many of them have led to failure. The three main purposes of this paper are to (1) identify SCMIS and its characteristics, (2) introduce and categorize critical failure factors (CFFs) for SCM and SCMIS, and (3) investigate the explanatory power of these CFFs on the performance of supply channel processes performed through SCMIS

A semantic network is made up of a number of circles or nodes which represent objects and description information about those objects. Nodes can be physical items, concepts, events, actions or attributes. The nodes are interconnected by links or arcs. These arcs show the relationships between the various objects and descriptive factors. Knowledge can be represented through using semantic networks. Lexical item learning from contexts of texts is an efficient way better than memorizing many single words. In this paper, we propose a semantic network based vocabulary learning system (SNVLS) which is a knowledge based system. It can analyze the contexts of texts to parse lexical items as objects and relationships for semantic networks and draw the visual graphic networks to improve vocabulary learning efficiency and effect. We study how to use semantic networks to represent contexts for texts. And then we study the architecture and implementation of the SNVLS. At last we present an experiment of using this SNVLS to demonstrate the difference of efficiency and effect in vocabulary learning between two groups who using SNVLS or not

This paper addresses an issue on leaning supply chains via architecting open and flexible information-sharing platforms. Two basic ideas of this paper are: (1) such a platform should be developed based on information necessarily shared for companies to make right decisions from supply chain management perspective, and (2) such a platform should be open and flexible because the supply chains are open, time-variant, loosely organized. Hence, the paper proposes architecture of an information-sharing platform

Although China's economy still keeps the growth rapidly for a decade, it has to increase its service sector to sustain this growth in the log run. Since China became a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), China's industries have faced the multitudinous challenges. In the meantime, China's service sector also gets the chances to learn many valuable successful experiences from the developed countries. The development of electronic commerce (e-commerce) in service industries promotes the China's service sector to stay competitive at the global level. Therefore, how to use Internet and communication technologies (ICTs) to facilitate the future development of service industries is one of the most important research topics for e-commerce researchers in China. This paper provides four reasons why to study on e-commerce success in small and middle-sized enterprises (SMEs) and describes four critical issues for e-commerce success in China. Finally, this paper recommends three key strategies for e-commerce success in service SMEs in China

The traditional definition of supply chain coordination will be violated if the transaction cost is considered in a supply chain channel. In this paper, we reconsider the decisions of both a retailer and a manufacturer to propose a new definition of sub-coordination. Options contract is presented to analyze the supply chain sub-coordination mechanisms in two different markets, general market and electronic market, respectively. The characteristics of transaction cost in different markets is discussed in detail, and further comparison between the performances of two supply chain models is highlighted to show the possible flexibility and profit improvement offered by the electronic market

A product family structure for mass customization is so complicated due to the diverse needs of customers. Module partition of product family structure is the principal problem for product family structure programming. This paper presents a method of module partition for product family structure based on the relativities of components. Firstly, the paper identifies the relativity from the view of customer needs, functional relativity and structural relativity. And the relativity matrices can be constructed by using a fuzzy clustering transitive closure algorithm. Then, using entropy, a best programming scheme can be selected by the evaluation of assemble and maintain. Finally, a case study along with detailed analysis is provided to illustrate the method of module partition
