In order to explore the potential impact of novel command configurations, it is useful to have some means of extrapolating from existing systems and comparing the outcome of change from existing to novel systems. By taking a ‘systems’ view of operations, it is possible to consider the impact of reconfiguration of the performance of the system and on the agents operating within the system. The a...

A linear model based on the spherical coordinate system is employed for tting a spherical surface to a data set obtained by a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). In practice, measurement data may have unequal accuracy on the diierent coordinate axes, thus a liner model with heteroscedastic variance of random errors is considered. A feasible weighted least squares estimate is proposed and its su...

Some firms have gained significant benefits by effectively deploying interorganizational systems (IOS) to tightly couple operations with their supply chain partners. In contrast, other firms with IOS deployments have struggled to achieve this level of success. So it is not clear how such systems can be configured to promote idiosyncratic interorganizational processes that integrate the supply c...

In the paper, the issue of the form deviation measurement with coordinate measuring machines is being discussed. As an example, the out-of-cylindricity was taken, and their dependence on the various factors, that affect the final results of measurement and could expand its uncertainty. The supporting expert program Valetz is presented, too. It was designed to simulate the measurement of outof-c...

measurement systems analysis (msa) has been applied in different aspect of industrial assessments to evaluate various types of quantitative and qualitative measures. qualification of a measurement system depends on two important features: accuracy and precision. since the capability of each quality system is severely related to the capability of its measurement system, the weakness of the two ...
