This paper examines the effects of technology spillover from FDI based on panel data analysis of Chinese large-scale domestic manufacturing industries. We use the panel data of 27 Chinese manufacturing industries from 2001 to 2007. We estimate technology spillover effects by two steps. First, we estimate the total factor productivity of domestic firms’ and foreign firms’ by Cobb-Douglas Product...

regarding the importance and high proportion of iranian manufacturing industries' export in nonoil export basket, and their impact on economic growth, it is essential that effective factors on the manufacturing industries' export be investigated. this paper investigates the impact of human capital on the export of iranian industries, using a panel data set of 2-digit isic manufacturing industri...

the quality of firms’ reaction against demand uncertainty affects the production inputs employment. in this research i have studied and compared the behavior of active firms in manufacturing sector with respect to the risk attitude and tested it’s effect on production inputs combination(with the special emphasize on labor employment). the research findings reveal that active firms in manufactur...

Eine der Aufgaben eines ME-Systems (Manufacturing Execution Systems) stellt die Feinplanung und –steuerung der Produktion dar. ME-Systeme werden in der IT-Infrastruktur eines Unternehmens zwischen dem ERP-System und dem Shop-Floor angesiedelt und bilden hier einen geschlossenen Regelkreis. Die Feinplanungsaufgabe besteht darin, den Produktionsplan permanent an die Veränderungen aus dem ERP-Syst...

this paper is in search of designing the cellular manufacturing systems (cmss) under dynamic and flexible environment. cm is proper for small-to-medium lot production environment that helps the companies to produce variable kind of productions with at least scraps. the most important benefits of cm are decline in material handling, reduction in work-in-process, reduction in set-up time, increme...

machine-part family formation is one of major applications of group technology (gt). the machine cell formation problem in cellular manufacturing system (cms) involves the decomposition of the manufacturing system into machine cells. part families are identified such that they are fully processed within a machine cell. the problem of cell design is a very complex task with wide ranging implicat...

t his paper investigates the gain of bilateral trade between china and u.s. in manufacturing sectors when both countries play a role in asymmetric (biased) growth of  international trade. our model includes a special case of biased growth theory in international trade. we collected labor productivity, export and import data by using classification of manufacturing industries, for u.s. and china...

background good drug regulation requires an effective system for monitoring and inspection of manufacturing and sales units. in india, despite widespread agreement on this principle, ongoing shortages of drug inspectors have been identified by national committees since 1975. the growth of india’s pharmaceutical industry and its large export market makes the problem more acute.   methods the foc...

lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. in a more basic term, more value with less work. since lean manufacturing eliminates many of the problems associated with poor production scheduling and line balancing, lean ma...

Manufacturing produces real wealth for any country and constitutes the back bone for the service sector. The objective of any organization is to earn profit. Usually the market fixes the selling price of the manufactured components. Unless there is focus on the manufacturing strategy of reducing manufacturing cost, it is very difficult to sustain in this ever competitive world. A suitable manuf...
