Background: The rapid development of the blockchain technology and its various applications has rendered it important to understand the guidelines for adopting it. Methods: The comparative analysis method is used to analyze different dimensions of the maturity model, which is mainly based on the commonly used capability maturity model. Results: The blockchain maturity model and its adoption pro...

This paper presents a proposal of measuring uncertain modelling referred to a geometrical model obtained from a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). The measurement of objects by CMM is achieved considering a particular region of measurement described through a set of nitely many points which de nes the ideal reference mesh and it is exposed to, at least, three kinds of error: systematical, alea...

Process capability indices have been widely used in the manufacturing industry providing numerical measures on process potential and process performance. Capability measure for processes with single characteristic has been investigated extensively, but is comparatively neglected for processes with multiple characteristics. In real applications, a process often has multiple characteristics with ...

Process capability indices show the ability of a process to produce products according to the pre-specified requirements. Since final quality characteristics of a product are usually interrelated to its previous amounts in earlier workstations, one need to model and consider the relationship among them to assess the process ca-pability properly. Hence, conducting process capability analysis in ...

There is very little literature supporting software product managers in their work, even though they play a crucial role within software product management organizations. There are large solutions for the improvement of software product management practices, but these are not applicable to most small and medium sized organizations. This research-in-progress paper presents a general incremental ...

Tradeoff studies are broadly recognized and mandated as the method for simultaneously considering multiple alternatives with many criteria, and as such are recommended in the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Decision Analysis and Resolution (DAR) process. Tradeoff studies, which involve human numerical judgment, calibration, and data updating, are often approached with under confide...

To remain competitive in customer-oriented economics, the major parties in the supply chain should be integrated and managed effectively to respond to customer needs. Thus, the efficiency of the entire supply chain is a main concern, and is determined by the members of that supply chain. Partner selection thus becomes one of the key steps in supply chain construction. Given buyer–supplier infor...

Alternative definitions of Process Capability Indices (PCIs), based on different approaches, have been proposed in literature. Most of the research works related to Process Capability Indices assume no gauge measurement errors. However, in industrial applications, despite the use of highly advanced measuring instruments, account needs to be taken of gauge imprecision. The aim of this paper is f...
