Products are often designed to be very reliable such that even a defective unit can function for a long time. Instead of degradation-based burn-in for these kinds of products, this study advocates an inspection-maintenance strategy to make use of these weak units. Under this policy, an inspection is conducted in the midway of the system operation with the purpose of identifying and replacing a defective unit, while an age-based preventive replacement is carried out at a later stage to prevent a wear-out failure. By capitalizing on the gamma process, the mean cost rate function of this policy is derived. Optimal inspection and preventive maintenance times are discussed. We compare the average cost of this policy with the joint burn-in and maintenance policy to demonstrate its advantages.

The objective of this paper is to review the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in Supply Chain Management (SCM) research including different perspectives and research topics. In this review, academic databases used were ScienceDirect, Scopus and Google Scholar. The latter database was included to identify unpublished studies, conference proceedings and other types of unpublished studies. Practical review criteria are used for the inclusion or exclusion of the pertinent literature. In total 55 publications were found and analyzed in this paper. We found that even though both DEA and SCM were established as a field of study for a long time but there are only a few that applied the DEA to SCM. Most of studies applying DEA in SCM did not consider the whole supply chain, only some parts of the chain were analyzed. Based on the findings of the review, potential research agendas were developed.

Measuring the manufacturing effectiveness (capability) facilitates the firm to know the present status and also provides a pointer to the weak decisions for further improvement. This article presents a case study for evaluating manufacturing capability of a Job Shop Production System (JSPS), where current status (level) of manufacturing capability of a firm based on the consistency of the decisions taken has been computed. For this, hierarchical model based on the overall goal (manufacturing capability) has been adopted by using AHP (Analytical Hierarchical Process) - a MCDM (multi criteria decision making) tool. The manufacturing capability of a firm is computed and then compared with ideally required decisions from the same category of manufacturing system, in order to identify weak decisions. The finding of this research work will be helpful to practitioners and future researchers.

One of the factors in successful information security management is the integration of security policies, processes, people and technologies. The deployment of identity management integrates these factors and provides benefits to management. This paper aims to establish the process flow for a system of identity and access management (IdM) of a multinational company in the mining sector, in order to create a unique identification to user in all corporate information systems and a standardization process for access requests after mergers and acquisitions. To achieve this, a search was conducted in literature and a case to identify the business need. Finally, the study identified and showed the principal benefits generated by new processes following the demands of SOX law.

We consider the parallel machine problem with generalized positional deterioration effects and multiple maintenance activities to minimize the total workload. The decision is to determine jointly the optimal assignment of jobs on each machine, the optimal maintenance frequencies, the optimal positions of the maintenance activities, and the optimal job sequences on each machine. The deterioration rates of job processing times on machines are represented by a general non-decreasing function and the maintenance activity is not necessarily perfect. The problem is modeled as a rectangular assignment problem and we show that the problem can be optimally solved at most in O(nm+4) time. An illustrative example is used to show the computational procedure.

Optimal sewer network designs are NP-hard and highly complicated nonlinear problems. Conventional optimization techniques often easily get bogged down in local optima and cannot successfully address such problems. In the past decades, heuristic algorithms with robust and efficient global-search capabilities have helped to solve continuous and discrete optimization problems and have demonstrated considerable promise. This study applied tabu search (TS) and simulated annealing (SA) to the optimization of sewer-network designs. As a case study, it applied to solve a benchmark sewer network optimization problem reported in the literature. The optimal configuration of TS and SA parameters were determined by systematically evaluating the relative computational performance of TS and SA. Characteristic analysis was undertaken and solution qualities from different algorithms were also compared. The results show that SA is able to obtain optimal sewer network designs better than those methods previously reported in the literature.

This study aims to probe the effects of teachers' and peers' communication style and quality on adolescents' cognitive and emotional learning by questionnaires and regression analysis. The relations between impact of emotional learning and academic learning are examined; and the intermediate variable of learning performance is found out to be learning motivation. Results show that students' perception of communication style would will affect their learning. Emotional learning affects cognitive learning-positive perception makes better performance, and vice versa. Among communication styles, the attentive style has an impact on communication quality. Communication quality does have influence on academic performance, but it is mediated by teacher-student communication relationship perceived by students. Motivation partially mediates the influence of teacher-student and peer communication on students' learning outcomes.

This paper provides a general model for the enterprises that want to execute reverse logistics. The enterprises executing a green strategy can bring the benefit of green goodwill and customer identification. Otherwise, the real profit of executing green reverse logistics is the key point to managers. The authors use the static analytic tool - the net present value method to evaluate the relevant costs and prices whenever enterprises execute green reverse logistics in the previous paper (Lin and Lu, (2012)). To enhance the effective management, this paper promotes not only the static tool but also the measurement tool of project activity - the real options approach to get the point of executing green reverse logistics and clarify the feasibility of green reverse logistics. By combining the practical and academic analyses, this paper can enhance managers with the solving proposal model to get the balance of green costs and profits.
本文为想要实施逆向物流的企业提供了一个通用模型。企业实施绿色战略可以带来绿色商誉和顾客认同的效益。否则，实施绿色逆向物流的实际利润是管理者关注的重点。在之前的文章中，作者使用静态分析工具——净现值法来评估企业在实施绿色逆向物流时的相关成本和价格(Lin and Lu，(2012))。为了加强对项目活动的有效管理，本文提出了项目活动的静态工具和度量工具——实物期权法，以找出实施绿色逆向物流的要点，阐明绿色逆向物流的可行性。通过实际分析和理论分析相结合，本文提出的求解建议模型可以帮助管理者实现绿色成本与利润的平衡。

Chinese enterprises are inherently weak in scientific research and little input in this area, resulting an always weak position to participate in international competition. Enterprises whose target is fame and fortune are most concerned whether the scientific research promotes innovation performance. In this study, on the basis of in-depth study of knowledge management and science-based innovation theory, we design the scientific knowledge measurement indicators, which consists with science-based innovation dimension and stocks of scientific knowledge dimension. Based on interviews and secondhand information analysis, we convince our science-based innovation framework by a case study and find that Chinese enterprises can carry out science-based innovation by borrowing brain and buying technology, thereby greatly enhancing the innovation performance.

This paper studies a time-varying SIS (i.e. containing susceptible and infected populations) propagation disease model exhibiting a nonlinear incidence rate and impulsive eventual culling of both populations so that the individuals recover with no immunity to the disease. The nonlinear incidence rate consists of two time-varying additive terms proportional to the susceptible and infected populations normalized to the total population.
