Order Promising and the Master Production Schedule*

Previous research on material requirements planning (MRP) systems has rarely considered the impact of the master production scheduling method used to promise customer orders and to allocate production capacity. Based on a simulation study of an MRP environment, we show that the correct selection of a master production schedule (MPS) method depends on the variance of end-item demand. In addition, we find evidence that the effectiveness of a particular MPS method can be enhanced by holding buffer inventory at the same level in the product structure as in the MPS.     

国企改革中MBO的实践及思考

在我国各地深化国有企业产权制度改革的实践中,管理层收购(MBO)被付诸大胆的尝试。尽管市场机制不完善、法律环境欠缺,MBO仍由默默无闻的个别行动发展而成近年大规模涌现、并引发理论界、政府及公众热切关注和争论不休的态势。     

浅议高校暂付款的管理

由于财务制度不健全、执行不力及法律意识的缺乏等原因,许多高校财务管理中暂付款的管理与核算存在漏洞。结合实际就暂付款的形成从个人往来、单位往来和内部往来三个方面做了分析,对其管理和使用从各个环节和强化制度建设、经费归口管理催报清理和加强会计电算化与财务管理网络化建设等方面提出建议。

高职学生特点及教育管理研究

高职教育是培养面向生产、建设、管理、服务一线的高素质人才，其教育类型的特点决定了其学生教育管理也具有自身特点。本文在调研和走访的基础上，提出高职学生教育管理的基本思路。     

基于框架的知识库管理系统

框架系统作为知识表达的最有效方法之一,以其独特的知识结构化风格在知识工程技术中日益受到人们的青睐。本文用Prolog逻辑程序设计语言的表处理技术实现了框架系统,设计出一个基于框架的可自定义并可多途径自行维护的知识库管理系统。     

组织发展理论背景下的角色转化——从组织发展的视角看当代人力资源管理

随着人力资源管理理论和实践的不断发展．组织发展理论摆脱了传统意义上的培训理论和实践，从战略的高度为组织创造变革和强化变革，最终使组织获得竞争优势，推动人力资源管理领域的丰富和完善。人力资源管理音作为组织变革的促成者，在服务和推动组织发展的过程中不断地塑造自己和完成角色转型，即从一名人事专员向组织观察者和组织发展专家的角色转变。人力资源管理者完成角色转型将成为历史的必然。

An evaluation of product commonality and group technology production methods in a pre-defined multiple-machine scenario

Group technology has been used successfully for a number of years as a setup reduction tool. It is especially valuable in low-volume high-mix manufacturing environments where products and machines may be partitioned into product families and machine cells. The partitioning of machines or processes into cells may be limited by practical constraints, and the partitioning of products is complicated as the number of products and processes increases. In this paper, the authors examine the behaviour of various grouping strategies lauded as being appropriate in situations where machine partitioning and product routeing are determined by technological constraints. Of specific experimental concern in this paper is the effect of the mean and variance of component part commonality between products on system performance under various grouping strategies in a multiple-machine environment.     

Development of an integrated information management model: A case of textile industry

For past two decades many organisations have tried to implement integrated information management systems for better production management based on co-ordination of information and therefore activities of different departments. Although Enterprise Resource Planning systems have been in the market for the past decade, many industries find it difficult to implement such systems due to the amount of work involved in streamlining the documentation, customisation and of high costs reported in implementation. An attempt is made through this paper to propose an integrated model, which can be easily understood by production personnel, with specific emphasis on the textile sector.
