This paper develops a controlling instrument for data warehouse systems based on the Balanced Scorecard BSC approach. On the basis of the technological aspects of data warehouse systems, the BSC perspectives are developed and populated with relevant objectives and measures for data warehouse success. These perspectives are integrated into a consistent data warehouse scorecard. Finally, this ins...

Data warehouse is a system which can integrate heterogeneous data sources to support the decision making process. Data warehouse design is a lengthy, time-consuming, and costly process. There has been a high failure in data warehouse development projects. Thus how to design and develop a data warehouse have become important issues for information systems designers and developers. This paper rev...

Warehouse is one of the most important components in logistics of the supply chain network. Efficiency of warehouse operations is influenced by many different factors. One of the key factors is the racks layout configuration. A warehouse with good racks layout may significantly reduce the cost of warehouse servicing. The objective of this paper is to give a scheme for building warehouses models...

Data Warehouse and Data mining are technologies that deliver optimallyvaluable information to ease effective decision making. This survey paper defines architecture of traditional data warehouse and ways in which data warehouse techniques are used to support academic decision making. This paper defines different data warehouse types and techniques used in educational environment to extract, tra...

Data warehouse projects are notoriously difficult to manage and many of them end in failure. One explanation for the high failure rate is that managers are not taking prudent measures to assess and manage the risks involved in the data warehouse project. In this paper we introduce the goaldriven risk management approach of the easyREMOTE framework. We classify the risks of a data warehouse syst...

Warehouse Control System (WCS) aims to manage a broad range of facilities in the warehouse. WCS is different from warehouse management system (WMS). It manages and controls facilities (e.g. equipment) in the warehouse while WMS manages orders in the warehouse. A WCS controls a number of equipment simultaneously while an equipment control system (ECS) controls individual machine. We analysed key...

Data warehouses collect data from multiple remote sources and integrate the information as materialized views in a local database. The materialized views are used to answer queries that analyze the collected data for patterns, anomalies, and trends. This type of query processing is often called on-line analytical processing (OLAP). So that OLAP queries can be posed and answered easily, the data...

This paper considers a single-item, two-echelon, continuous-review inventory model. A number of retailers have their stock replenished from a central warehouse. The warehouse in turn replenishes stock from an external supplier. The demand processes on the retailers are independent Poisson. Demand not met at a retailer is lost. The order quantity from each retailer on the warehouse and from the ...

Data warehousing is an essential element of decision support systems. It aims at enabling the user knowledge to make better and faster daily business decisions. To improve this decision support system and to give more and more relevant information to the user, the need to integrate user's profiles into the data warehouse process becomes crucial. In this paper, we propose to exploit users' prefe...

The World Wide Web contains a huge and increasing volume of information. The web warehouse is an efficient and effective means to facilitate utilization of information on the Web, not only to individual users but also to business organizations, especially for decision-making purposes. On the other hand, XML has recently become the new standard for representation and exchange of data on the Web....
