A Risk Analysis Model in Concurrent Engineering Product Development

Concurrent engineering has been widely accepted as a viable strategy for companies to reduce time to market and achieve overall cost savings. This article analyzes various risks and challenges in product development under the concurrent engineering environment. A three‐dimensional early warning approach for product development risk management is proposed by integrating graphical evaluation and review technique (GERT) and failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA). Simulation models are created to solve our proposed concurrent engineering product development risk management model. Solutions lead to identification of key risk controlling points. This article demonstrates the value of our approach to risk analysis as a means to monitor various risks typical in the manufacturing sector. This article has three main contributions. First, we establish a conceptual framework to classify various risks in concurrent engineering (CE) product development (PD). Second, we propose use of existing quantitative approaches for PD risk analysis purposes: GERT, FMEA, and product database management (PDM). Based on quantitative tools, we create our approach for risk management of CE PD and discuss solutions of the models. Third, we demonstrate the value of applying our approach using data from a typical Chinese motor company.     

Positive Manhood Development: A Look at Approaches and Concerns from the Frontline

This mixed methods study, using the perspectives of administrators and frontline workers, identified the key developmental needs of African American boys involved in manhood development programs. Five conceptual themes emerged: values and behavior; men needed for guidance; successful organizations; economics and systems; and stable quality parenting. Themes from the conceptual clusters are compared to themes in the positive youth development literature, specifically the 40 developmental assets framework proposed by the Search Institute. The resulting distinctive ecological focus is rarely discussed in the youth development literature and may have implications for youth development interventions that target positive African American manhood development.     

论量刑程序改革

量刑程序改革是对我国现行法律规定和相关理论的贯彻落实,其目标是为了纠正片面的司法观念,解决量刑的失衡问题,实现量刑的公平正义,加强对公民权利的保障。量刑程序改革的价值应包括公正、公开和效率。在优化资源配置的基础上,我国可以采用混合型的定罪量刑关系模式。     

分权与发展关系文献综述与评估

分权与发展关系始终是理论研究与政府行政实践关注的热点问题.通过回顾近二十年来国内外关于分权与发展关系的研究文献,提出未来的研究应着重关注地方层级的分权改革,弥补研究方法的不足,构建更为完整的理论体系和研究框架.     

顾客在新产品开发中的角色扮演研究

顾客在新产品开发(NPD)中具有越来越重要的作用,他们不仅仅是产品和服务的被动接受者,而且渐渐成为企业知识的主要来源。顾客在NPD中的作用可以用三个不同角色来描述:资源、使用者和共同创造者,并分析了在NPD过程中这三个角色所能发挥的作用。     

科学发展观指导下的民族地区经济法制建设研究

改革开放以来,民族地区的经济发展与沿海城市、内地城市的差距越来越大,面临着人与自然如何协调发展、如何进行可持续发展等问题。科学发展观作为中国共产党人集体智慧的结晶,是指导我国经济发展的科学战略,对于我国民族地区经济法制建设具有重要的指导作用。     

新型城市化是上海城市发展转型的必由之路

中国在推进城市化进程中,以城市人口占总人口的比例来表示城市化率的方法,实践证明并不科学。目前农村与城市的＂二元结构＂依然很突出。上海作为国内城市化率最高的城市,也有＂概念性市区＂问题,需要走新型城市化道路,在完成＂人口转移型＂城市化前提下,加快向＂结构转换型＂城市化转变。     

广州城市发展的资金来源与对策分析

广州被中央定位为五大国家中心城市之一，明确了广州的城市定位和发展方向。广州必须进行经济发展方式的转变和投资，以实现国家中心城市所具备的指标。因此，如何解决巨额投资资金来源急需探讨。本文分析广州融资体系的现状，提出广州需建立一个传统模式和资本市场新模式双结合的现代融资体系。

《周易》中正之道与人生

中正之道是《周易》全文倡导的一种思想,也是当代人趋吉避凶、和谐生活的一种有效方法.有中正继而达到合和,而要达到中正合和就需要人们日常的言行当位,当位进而处顺；而要达到中正合和、当位处顺,则需要正确把握时机,时行则行,时止则止.中正和合、当位处顺、时行则行、时止则止,强调的都是时、位、度的重要性,在合适的时间、合适的地点、做合适的事情关系到对度的把握,而度的把握更多的是需要一种智慧.
