the quality function deployment (qfd) is a very helpful method to analyze the customer's desires with solutions of problems along a new design to generate high quality and competitive developed products to generate high quality and competitive ergonomic products and processes. this method employs a wide range of applications for translating customers’ needs into technical requirements to f...

This paper presents a cost and performance measurement system that integrates the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) method with the Economic Value Added value-based financial performance measure. This proposed ABC-andEVA system is an engineering management tool that helps to successfully manage cost and capital. It allows enterprise leaders to create shareholder value through cost structure improvem...

In metropolitan development management, quality of public services is influential in every public sector to satisfaction of citizens on quality of services. Nowadays, satisfaction are with such important matters that should be considered in the planning, implementation, management and maintenance of many public services such as subway, transportation, traffics, parks, markets and so on. Th...

Design for Logistics (DFL) and Set-based Concurrent Engineering (SBCE) are two conventionally separated methodologies for product design. The former intends to design products by taking into consideration the logistics system that the product needs to fit in, whereas the latter explores a set of design alternatives to converge on a final specification for both product and processes. Within the ...

Abstract The environment in which manufacturing small and medium enterprises operate has become very complex, therefore SME’s owners need to be aware of the impact their decisions have on society. aim research was identify innovative management accounting practices can integrated into SMEs’ strategies overcome challenge being blamed by stakeholders as contributors social environmental problems....

Concurrent engineering environments affect the cost estimating and engineering capability of an organisation. Cost estimating tools become outdated and need changing in order to reflect the new environment. This is essential, since cost estimating is the start of the cost management process and influences the ‘go’, ‘no go’ decisions concerning a new product development. This paper examines both...

Risk management is an important element of product design. It helps to minimize the projectand product-related risks such as project budget and schedule overrun, or missing product cost and quality targets. Risk management is especially important for complex, international product design projects that involve a high degree of novel technology. This paper reviews the literature on risk managemen...

In today’s competitive business environment, the design and management of supply chainnetwork is one of the most important challenges that managers encounter. The supply chain network shouldbe designed for satisfying of customer demands as well as minizing the total system costs. This paper presentsa multi-period multi-stage supply chain network design problem under demand uncertainty. The prob...

This paper presents a method for assessing the quality of progressive design processes that seek to maximize the profitability of the product that is being designed. The proposed approach uses separations, a type of problem decomposition, to model progressive design processes. The subproblems in the separations correspond roughly to phases in the progressive design processes. We simulate the ch...

The advantages of activity-based costing include promoting the basic budget activities and improving management activities, process activity chain (value chain). Activity-based method, as an important tool cost in accounting, extends to whole value-chain enterprise, it also effectively changes limitation focus law manufacture on study concerning making certain products, thus offering adequate h...
