This study examined the effects of the organizational climate maturity on knowledge-management performance, measured in terms of knowledge quality and knowledge-sharing level. Reward, top management support, and IT service quality were investigated as the managerial drivers to positively influence such climate maturity. The hypothesized relationships were tested by the partial least square anal...

Developing interoperability implies defining metrics to measure the degree of interoperability between systems. One of the measures is concerned with the use of maturity models, describing the stages through which systems should evolve to reach higher completeness in the realization of a given objective. This paper reviews the main maturity models that are or could be used for interoperability ...

In the manufacturing industry, many product characteristics are of one-sided tolerances. The process capability indices C p (u, v) and C l p(u, v) can be used to measure process performance. Most research work related to capability indices assumes no gauge measurement errors. This assumption insufficiently reflects real situations even when advanced measuring instruments are used. In this paper...
