Using Simulation and Data Envelopment Analysis to Compare Assembly Line Balancing Solutions

This paper presents a technique for comparing the results of different assembly line balancing strategies by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Initially, several heuristics--which can be thought of as assembly line balancing strategies--were used to solve seven line-balancing problems. The resulting line balance solutions provided two pieces of information that were of particular interest: the number of workers needed and the amount of equipment needed. These two items were considered inputs for DEA. The different line balance solutions were then used as layouts for simulated production runs. From the simulation experiments, several output performance measures were obtained which were of particular interest and were used as outputs for DEA. The analysis shows that DEA is effective in suggesting which line balancing heuristics are most promising.

Improving data quality during ERP implementation based on information product map

ABSTRACT

Poor Data Quality (DQ) is amajor culprit in the failure of ERP implantation. Previous DQ solutions focus more on technical approaches, ignoring the importance of seeking the root causes. Therefore, this paper proposes aprocess-driven DQ monitoring framework by Information Product Map (IPMAP). First, IPMAP is applied to visualizethe manufacturing process of critical information products. Then, the potential deficiencies that may arouse DQ problems are examined from the aspects of process and human. Finally, the corresponding DQ improvement strategies are put forward and validated in case study. The results indicate that the framework provides helpful guidance for promoting ERP DQ.     

An application of data envelopment analysis to evaluate the efficiency level of the operational cost of Brazilian electricity distribution utilities

This paper shows efficiency indices for 60 Brazilian electricity distribution utilities. The efficiency scores are gauged by three DEA models. For both models, these quantities are evaluated under different contexts. One treats with respect to the regulator perspective. The others examine an alternative approach based on cluster analysis and restrictions on factor weights. It is worth pointing out that these developments can reduce the information asymmetry and improve the regulator's skill to compare the performance of the utilities, a fundamental in incentive regulation schemes.     

中国地区工业的生态效率测度及趋同分析：2003—2010年

生态效率兼顾经济活动的生态效益和经济效益,在一定程度上反映了经济可持续发展水平,其综合评价有助于探索经济发展方式转变的路径。2003—2010年中国大陆31个省份的工业生态效率测度及趋同分析表明：我国工业生态效率普遍偏低,其省际差异和年际变化差异都较大,而且存在明显的生态效率趋同。为进一步改善我国各省的工业生态效率,既要广泛搭建技术转移平台以促进先进技术推广,还要大力提高落后地区的技术能力以促进先进技术的充分吸收和利用。     

数字技术环境下隐私权保护模式探讨

扩大保护范围、显化保护利益和采取适应性的保护模式是数字技术环境下进行隐私权保护的特殊需求,面对这一极具时代特征的权利保护问题,我国法律呈现出明显的滞后性.通过结合国外的法律保护模式和行业自律模式,提出了我国进行数字技术环境下隐私权保护的努力方向,即强化隐私权的法律地位;制定专门的法律法规;形成先进的行业自律和规范行政监管.     

宏观经济统计数据结构变化分析及其对中国的实证

对于宏观经济统计数据的结构变化进行分析已成为研究数据质量的核心内容之一。本文从经济系统的角度运用联合估计诊断模型对我国 3 6个宏观经济时间序列的结构变化进行了全面的分析 ,发现了数据异常的特点和规律。研究结论表明 :大部分异常点的出现或多或少都是以聚集成堆的形式出现的 ,它们之间存在深刻的内在联系 ,孤立的异常点不是我国宏观经济时间序列的主要特征 ;几乎所有的原始序列都有显著的偏度 ,过多的峰度也是明显的 ,因此它们被显著地拒绝认为服从正态分布 ;大部分变量的原始序列和异常点修正后序列虽然都呈现出非ARCH特征 ,但是ARCH2、ARCH4、ARCH8的P值却有一定程度的不同。     

中国城市土地利用效率空间分异特征及优化路径分析--基于287个地级以上城市的实证研究

研究目的：揭示全国地级以上城市土地利用效率空间分异特征,探寻城市土地利用效率优化路径。研究方法：DEA模型,分组比较法。研究结果：测度了地级以上城市土地利用效率,并将之分解为纯技术效率和规模效率,分析了效率变化的源泉。研究结论：（1）全国地级以上城市土地利用效率总体不高,具有较大的改善空间。在空间分布上,各城市效率值大小与其经济发展水平存在着对应关系。（2）纯技术效率对总效率的影响及制约能力强于规模效率。（3）大部分城市处于规模报酬递增阶段。不同等级和不同区域的城市所处的规模报酬阶段存在明显的差异。（4）城市土地利用中要素投入冗余现象严重,可以通过合理配置投入要素方式优化土地利用效率。     

我国商业银行经济效率及影响因素分析

本文在取得银行投入品价格信息的基础上,利用DEA模型测度了我国9家商业银行(包括4大国有商业银行和5家股份制商业银行)1997-2001期间的经济效率;进而建立计量经济模型,从微观层面对影响我国商业银行经济效率的因素进行了回归分析,结果表明银行自由资本比例、贷款质量、人力资源质量和经营管理水平是影响银行经济效率的关键因素.     

Strategic Internet application trends in supply chain management

The Internet is evolving as a powerful force in the new marketplace where the nexus of competition has changed from individual firms to efficient supply chain networks both between firms and within industries. This study explores Internet adoption patterns and operational applications in US supply chain networks. The data reveal that the integration of the Internet into supply chain management applications has increased and has moved away from indiscriminate application of novel Internet technologies towards becoming a focused endeavor with precise expectations and measurable goals. Specifically, the study finds that Internet usage within supply chains is maturing as evidenced by enhanced and increased productivity, reduced costs and increased profit for participating firms.
