Recognition of quality management as an important factor holds the key to competitiveness in the global market irrespective of the size of the company. Total Quality Management (TQM) practices are primarily found in larger and multinational organizations but little has been written on how TQM has been applied in SMEs of Malaysia. This project reports the results of a full survey conducted among...

Transforming a public sector bureaucracy into a learning organisation by means of total quality management (TQM) can be a challenge when the politics of the organisation work against the process of trying to help individuals take responsibility for their own learning. In the TQM literature, a Pac-Man theory of implementing TQM has been suggested for dealing with these kinds of environments. How...

A combined MRP(material requirement planning) and JIT(just in time) system can be more effective manufacturing system which utilizes the best attributes of each manufacturing system need to accommodate the best planning features of MRP and the best execution features of JIT to address the changing needs of industry. When MRP and JIT involve in any production system than its balance the all enti...

After its development and phenomenal success, Total Quality Management (TQM) was applied outside the industrial sectors to service organizations, such as banks. This paper investigates the application of TQM to a service organizations using Jordanian baking sector as a model example. Banking is an important sector in Jordan. The government has introduced several laws and constitutions aimed to ...

Appropriate scheduling and sequencing of tasks on machines is one of the basic and significant problems that a shop or a factory manager encounters; this is why in recent decades extensive studies have been done on scheduling issues. One type of scheduling problems is just-in-time (JIT) scheduling and in this area, motivated by JIT manufacturing, this study investigates a mathematical model for...

With the discovery of new exploit techniques, novel protection mechanisms are needed as well. Mitigations like DEP (Data Execution Prevention) or ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) created a significantly more difficult environment for exploitation. Attackers, however, have recently researched new exploitation methods which are capable of bypassing the operating system’s memory mitigatio...

This work aims to find out the full potential of compilation scheduling for JIT-based runtime systems. Compilation scheduling determines the order in which the compilation units (e.g., functions) in a program are to be compiled or recompiled. It decides when what versions of the units are ready to run, and hence affects performance. But it has been a largely overlooked direction in JIT-related ...
