While the growth of MIS investment and its influence is making MIS evaluation ever more indispensable, little attention has been paid to assessing and communicating system effectiveness. This paper attempts to empirically assess the effectiveness of integrated human resource information system in Iranian oil industry. As suggested by recent research, the widely accepted IS success model is...

Condition monitoring is the foundation of a condition based maintenance (CBM). To relate the information obtained from the condition monitoring to the actual state of the system, it is usually required a stochastic model. On the other hand, considering the interactions and similarities that exist between CBM and statistical process control (SPC), the integrated models for CBM and SPC have been ...

sediment flushing of reservoirs is an operational technique, whereby previously accumulated sediments in the reservoirs are hydraulically removed by accelerated flow when the bottom desiltingoutlets of the dam are opened. in this research, the process of sediment flushing is simulated by a three dimensional numerical model in which sediment and flow interaction are reflected in the reservoirs. ...

sohrabi and nalchigar (2010) proposed a new data envelopment analysis (dea) model to identify the most efficient decision-making unit (dmu) in presence of imprecise data. in this paper, it is shown that the proposed model is not able to determine the most efficient dmu and is randomly introduced an efficient dmu. in addition, it is shown that this model determines the most efficient dmu in the ...

Nowadays, in highly competitive global markets and constant pressure to reduce total costs, enterprises consider group technology and Supply Chain Management (SCM) accordingly and usually separately as the key elements for intra and inter facilities improvement. Simultaneous consideration of the elements of these two disciplines in an integrated design can result in higher efficiency and ...

In some long term studies, a series of dependent and possibly truncated lifetime data may be observed. Suppose that the lifetimes have a common continuous distribution function F. A popular stochastic measure of the distance between the density function f of the lifetimes and its kernel estimate fn is the integrated square error (ISE). In this paper, we derive a central limit theorem for t...

after passing more than one decade of appearance of digital libraries in iran, they couldn’t meet their real mission, which is responding to audience needs. surely, this problem is affected by potentially and real factors. so this research wants to recognize resistant factors and driving factors by recourse oriented approach, and then to fit them in integrated model.research method which we app...

in the recent decade, special attention is paid to reverse logistic due to economic benefits of recovery and recycling of used products as well as environmental legislation and social concerns. on the other hand، many researches claim that separately and sequential planning of forward and reverse logistic causes sub-optimality. effective transport activities are also one of the most important c...

this paper presents an integrated data envelopment analysis (dea) – principal component analysis (pca) – analytical hierarchy process (ahp) to achieve the efficiency scores and ranks of the insurance companies. fourteen insurance companies with thirteen input and output variables have been considered for the purpose of this study. since the dea model is sensitive to the number of variables in c...

forecasting of macroeconomic variables has specific importance in economic topics. indeed, different models are invented to forecast variables to help economic policy makers in adopting appropriate monetary and fiscal policies. in this paper, the performance of integrated model of input-output (io) and neural network is investigated in forecasting final demand and total production and the resul...
