In this paper, we deal with the problem of balance between two alternative modes for production: in-house production and outsourcing, under a combined approach of maintenance management and production control in multi-periods plan. The considered production system consists of a single randomly failing and repairable machine producing a single product. The production system aims to satisfy the m...

In modern conditions, cost minimisation for business entities is the main condition existence in market. One of tools such outsourcing accounting. addition to minimising costs, accounting ensures correctness accounting, provides high-level advice, and protects against possible fines. The purpose study was investigate as a tool optimising activities conditions. applied methods induction deductio...

The computation of bilinear pairings has been considered the most expensive operation in pairing-based cryptographic protocols. In this paper, we first propose an efficient and secure outsourcing algorithm for bilinear pairings in the two untrusted program model. Compared with the state-of-the-art algorithm, a distinguishing Preprint submitted to Theoretical Computer Science 18 April 2014 prope...

Most studies of software outsourcing focus on how to manage the outsourcing from the perspective of the outsourcer, i.e., a company issuing a subcontract. There are few studies of outsourcing presented from the viewpoint of the supplier, i.e., a company receiving a subcontract. Since more and more Chinese software companies are getting software outsourcing subcontracts from all over the world, ...

Despite the experience with IS outsourcing for decades, numerous outsourcing arrangements fail in practice. Likely reasons for such failures can be ascribed to divergent expectations and an inappropriate governance of the outsourcing relationship. The objective of this paper is to explore different types of outsourcing relationships and their configuration depending on the underlying expectatio...

The paper examines the relationship between the choice of outsourcing versus in-house production and product differentiation. We analyze the situation where a manufacturer decides between in-house production and outsourcing when faced with cost uncertainty and competition with a rival manufacturer in a differentiated goods market. We show that the degree of product differentiation does not affe...

What is the role of control in maintaining trust in outsourcing relationships? Although the literature is quite rich on conceptualizing the relationship between control and trust in inter-organizational relationships, there exist quite sparse quantitative works which help to evaluate the models developed. In this paper, we analyze data from 156 IT outsourcing relationships of German banks in or...
