World Class Maintenance (WCM) concept is considered as an integrated approach to perform asset maintenance comprehensible for all participants in an industrial organization. WCM creates opportunities to make the work processes more efficient and effective in a way that these are universally applicable to increase the safety, economy and overall efficiency of the assets. A well-defined WCM work process can offer a unique business opportunity with minimum costing to the assets' owner whilst increasing significant return on investments. This manuscript attempts to explore the adaptability of WCM concept in the Norwegian Oil and Gas (O&G) industry. It further identifies measurable WCM indicators and highlights the current trends of WCM as observed in the Norwegian O&G industry. The identified indicators in this context can be used for mapping current performance of any operating assets by comparing it with the WCM standards.
世界级维护(World - Class Maintenance, WCM)概念被认为是一种集成的方法，用于执行工业组织中所有参与者都能理解的资产维护。WCM创造了使工作流程更加高效和有效的机会，这些方法普遍适用于提高资产的安全性、经济性和整体效率。一个定义良好的WCM工作流程能够以最小的成本为资产所有者提供独特的商业机会，同时显著增加投资回报。本文试图探讨WCM概念在挪威石油和天然气(O&G)行业的适应性。它进一步确定了可测量的WCM指标，并强调了挪威油气行业观察到的WCM当前趋势。在此上下文中确定的指标可用于通过将其与WCM标准进行比较来映射任何经营性资产的当前绩效。

Many multinational corporations (MNCs) generate their revenue abroad and feature different manufacturing facilities in various countries. Within the network of a MNC, each facility exhibits its own functional strategies. Thus, the individual strategic role of each facility has to be considered in performance evaluations. However, popular evaluation and benchmarking methods do not take this adequately into account. Moreover, decision-makers are often overstrained with numerous performance measures, which make evaluations even more challenging. The purpose of this paper is to present a performance evaluation and benchmarking method, which provides the possibility to evaluate manufacturing facilities in networks of MNCs under consideration of their individual functional strategies without overstraining decision-makers with an excess of performance measures. Based on an aggregated single index of overall performance, each facility is evaluated. In this way, operational performance can be easily compared among all facilities in spite of their different functional strategy.

The maintenance of mechanical systems plays a significant role in production and manufacturing settings. In this context, prioritization of machinery is vital for minimizing the economic burden due to higher maintenance cost, loss of production, potential damage to health, safety and environment. Different production and/or manufacturing firms use different approaches to mitigate the aforementioned. These approaches are tailor-made to fit a selected production or manufacturing operation and the firm's requirements, creating a difficulty in generalizing their utilization in a generic application. Hence, it is vital to analyze the existing models that have been used for the machinery prioritization and derive a generic model, enabling it to be utilized in a generic application. This manuscript illustrates a study carried out in three firms which utilize machinery for their production and/or manufacturing activities. The empirical models that have been employed for machinery prioritization by the aforementioned firms were analyzed and a generic empirical model has been derived. The empirical model has been validated by a randomly selected firm and one item of its machinery.

A particular single stage production planning problem is considered in this paper. The problem consists of integrating sales with production planning decisions by allowing the production planner to choose the best orders to accept based on their profit and the available capacity. The resource capacity is considered in a more realistic way compared to classical models. Based on this, three models are suggested: a production planning problem with backordering which does not consider integration of decisions, an integrated model that allows order acceptance decisions, and finally an order acceptance model with flexible due dates on customer orders. Initially, the models are solved using a commercial solver in order to show the effectiveness of choosing integration of decisions and order due date flexibility. We show in the results how important is the latter model and we propose a heuristic to solve it. The results show that the heuristic is very promising.

Under the dramatic change of business environment, organizations must break up the boundary of organization, share and transfer information with strategic alliance partners or customers more closely to promote collaboration each other in order to improve enterprises' competitiveness. Inter-Organizational Information Systems (IOIS) can traverse the formal boundaries of an organization and are utilized by organizations to connect partnership and customers to promote connection and information integration and support transactions-based information and communication technology. Therefore, enterprises increasingly place more importance on IOIS. The purpose of this study is to propose a model for assessing IOIS performance. This study develops the framework based Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and uses the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process approach to consider the relative importance of diverse performance indicators in assessing IOIS performance for Taiwan's information and electronic industries. The results of this study provide references for managers and future researches when assessing the performance of IOIS.

We consider the problem minimizing the total traveling cost on a network under uncertainty in using edges due to some obstacles unable to pass the edges. We formulate this model as a two-stage stochastic program. Such a model can be applied to achieve the least-cost path crossing over the Northern Sea Route on the Arctic by considering ice floes as obstacles that incur some extra cost to break it or detour from the path. Lagrangian relaxation is employed to solve an instance of large-scale by relaxing the coupling constraints linking the two different types of decision variables with the associated Lagrangian multipliers. It turns out that the relaxed problem can be separate into the two well-known problems, the shortest-path problem and the 0-1 knapsack problem. In addition to establishing a lower bound from the Lagrangian relaxation, an upper bound can be obtained by finding a feasible solution via variable fixing.

This paper introduces a Dynamic Agent Based Modelling Framework (DYNAMOD) that is designed for developing Digital Business Simulations. The model is based on literature review of three complementary research areas: Business Models, Business Applications of Agent Based Modeling and Digital Business Characteristics. This Framework is customisable and computationally implements key digital business characteristics including network effects, online and offline word of mouth, pricing strategies, amongst other features of the Digital Business Environment. DYNAMOD can be a generic framework for developing a variety of forcasting and simulation models that can provide a new computational approach to Digital Business Modeling and Analysis.

In this study, we develop several models that combine with queuing theory in order to help a post office to solve the optimization of staff numbers at services counters comply with practical demands. The models are formulated using linear programming. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the models and the solution method using real data from a post office in eastern Taiwan. Analytical results indicate that the proposed models are efficient in improving service efficiency and customer satisfaction, and can be a reference for practical manpower allocation in the post office.

Gigabit Passive Optical Network / Fiber To The Home (GPON/FTTH) has been of increasing interest for the broadband access network due to its inherent advantages, such as high bandwidth, immunity against electromagnetic interference, no active components required, and low cost. The planning of GPON, however, is a very difficult and time-consuming task. Many design factors such as the number, types, positions of network elements and routing information, have to be considered. In this paper, an automatic GPON design method is proposed, which models the network planning design as a problem of the form of Binary Integer Programming (BIP). The BIP optimization problem that is in nature a NP-hard problem is solved using a Lagrangian Heuristic algorithm. Experiment results have been given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method to identify the optimal placement of distribution points with lower computational cost in network planning.
