This paper demonstrates the necessity of establishing the evaluation system for safety resources based on data of accounting systematically. The author gives the connotations and the features of the proposed new evaluation system of the safety resources. The main viewpoint of the paper includes that evaluation system for safety resources is used in all units with possible accidents in production and for estimating and reflecting the effectiveness of the resources provided in preventing accidents, and also for the compensation of the losses caused by the accidents in production within the entire process. On the basis of the connotations of this evaluation system, the main framework and the model of data envelopment analysis ( DEA ) for the new evaluation system is also explained. The purpose of establishing this evaluation system is to promote effective management and evaluation of safety resources invested in high dangerous industries and enterprises.

Supply Chain Agility Assessment has been considered as one of the most important issues in world class manufacturing research study. The environmental issue as well as speed, variety, flexibility and integration in production line come along with customer relationship and mass customization concept should come to light in today¿s research study. To achieve the competitive edge, companies must align with suppliers and customers to streamline operations, as well as agility characteristic beyond individual companies. Consequently agile supply chain (ASC) is considered as a dominant competitive advantage. However, so far a little effort has been made to build ASC assessment methodology in recent years. Therefore, due to ambiguity of agility assessment, we have constructed a fuzzy rule based system, considering agility capabilities such as Responsiveness, competency, flexibility and Quickness to evaluate agility in supply chains. This evaluation helps managers to perform gap analysis between existent agility level and the desired one.

Hype Cycle is a popular graphic representation of the level of maturity, adoption and business application of a technology, originally introduced by Gartner Research¿s Jackie Fenn. Despite its popularity, the verification or relation to theoretical frameworks is to a large extent missing in current research literature. This paper presents some possible theoretically based conceptualizations and definitions regarding the Hype Cycle. In addition, a bibliometric study of the existence of the Hype Cycle in terms of technology life cycle indicators, specifically in applied research and application phases, was carried out.

Profit-sharing is one of the most important coordinating mechanisms for successful operating a production-distribution alliance. This paper provides the alliance with single producer and multi-distributor two profit-sharing mechanisms: (1) the cost-based mechanism and (2) the efficiency-based mechanism. Operating costs for each member in the alliance can be obtained by robust accounting system. Average operating efficiency among members in the alliance can be measured by using the standard data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. The cost-based mechanism is advantageous to the manufacturer who having huge cost in their facilities. In contrast, the efficiency-based mechanism, in which more cost brings lower efficiency, is disadvantageous to the manufacturer. The cost-based mechanism is instinctive, but it is less helpful than efficiency-based mechanism in cost down efforts for continuous improvement. The proposed mechanisms are illustrated with a numerical example.

In Finland, safety planning for public sports buildings is a challenging process because buildings are in multipurpose use and numerous organizations and personnel groups are also operating under the same roof. Local staff lacks instructions and tools to help them with safety planning. This paper presents a process model for establishing a safety plan for public sports buildings. The model was created on the basis of four case studies and constructed from experiences gained in interviews, safety planning participation and testing. The process model consisted of 11 phases and verbal instructions were created for executing each phase. The study¿s proposal for establishing practical safety plan procedures can also be applied to other types of public building.

A motorized high speed spindle has very complicated dynamics consisting of non-stationary and speed-related thermal characteristics. Many studies have reported different designs to control or monitor thermal spindle growth with limited results, whereas the application of High Speed Machining (HSM) demands ¿zero tolerance¿ no matter the range of speed or material to be machined. This study will outline a direct displacement monitoring system that is capable of accurately monitoring and compensating for thermal growth associated with motorized high speed spindles. This system of monitoring and compensating is a considerable improvement compared to many take inaccurate readings through a traditional thermo coupler. The direct displacement measuring system, optimizing a high speed synchronous feedback system will meet the tolerance and performance expected in HSM applications. Based on the introduction of Foucault Current, a design for an accurate thermal growth is outlined.

Nowadays, more and more Chinese automobile enterprises realized that to be the winner of the marketing competition, all member enterprises should cooperate to pursue the maximum integral profit to realize the long-tern sustained development of their SDN (supply-demand network), instead of seeking their own maximum profits. Manufacturing process, which is related to the whole product lifecycle from product design, production arrangement, order confirmation, production plan work out and optimization, production dispatch, manufacturing implement to automobile product delivery to their customers, even including the product guarantee period, is the most important and complex part of the whole automobile SDN. On the basis of systematic investigation of several automobile manufacturing enterprises, this paper builds up an systematical frame composed of such functional modules as technology planning, flexible production plan, manufacturing implement and optimization, production dispatch and process control, which provide the platform to realize the ¿flexibility¿ allocation on coordinated manufacturing system.

Managing assets in capital intensive industries such as power transmission has been becoming more complex due to uncertainties with long asset life, inspection and maintenance in remote places, environmental factors, statutory requirements along with deregulation and competition in the open market. In this paper, the possible challenges are explained with illustrative examples. Asset management principals for power transmission network companies are emphasized. The hierarchal levels within asset management approach are shown with highlighting the importance of relationship between each level.

Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to select optimum maintenance strategy for power plant equipment, a method based on criticality evaluation and failure mode characteristic analysis is put forward. In the method, the uncertainty and incompletion of criticality evaluation factors are completely considered, qualitative and quantitative evidences are integrated and their acquisition and transformation method is put forward based on constructing criticality evaluation multiple-attribute decision tree. Then a decision tree criticality evaluation model is established, a corresponding evidential reasoning algorithm is deduced, and the equipment in power plant is ranked by criticality. Integrating the results of criticality evaluation and failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), the decision model of selecting optimum maintenance strategy of power plant equipment is established and applied in a fossil-fired power station. It is shown by the instance that this method is feasible and effective, can select optimum maintenance strategy for power plant equipment.
