Just‐In‐Time (JIT) production has received a great deal of attention, worldwide, since its introduction in Japan a few decades ago. It has been well documented that some of the main benefits of JIT implementation are reduction of inventories, lead‐time reduction, and cost savings. Most of the previous research on the impact of JIT on firm performance has either been anecdotal (one‐firm studies), or cross‐sectional (comparing JIT firms with non‐JIT firms at one point in time) in nature. This paper focuses on studying the impact of JIT on inventories to sales ratios prior‐ and post‐adoption base

Abstract:
Abstract High-order direct numerical simulations of film cooling by tangentially blowing cool helium at supersonic speeds into a hot turbulent boundary-layer flow of steam (gaseous H2O) at a free stream Mach number of 3.3 are presented. The stagnation temperature of the hot gas is much larger than that of the coolant flow, which is injected from a vertical slot of height s in a backward-facing step. The influence of the coolant mass flow rate is investigated by varying the blowing ratio F or the injection height s at kept cooling-gas temperature and Mach number. A variation of the coolant Mach number shows no significant influence. In the canonical baseline cases all walls are treated as adiabatic, and the investigation of a strongly cooled wall up to the blowing position, resembling regenerative wall cooling present in a rocket engine, shows a strong influence on the flow field. No significant influence of the lip thickness on the cooling performance is found. Cooling correlations are examined, and a cooling-effectiveness comparison between tangential and wall-normal blowing is performed.

Abstract:
The purpose of this chapter is to study what supply chain managers of a retail supply chain measure. In other words aim here to identify the key indicators for measuring retail supply chain performance. A qualitative approach is adopted. Published literature from refereed journals on supply chain performance measurement has been considered. Besides the need for organizations to adopt a holistic approach, firms remain focused on traditional financial measures (gross profit margin, Interest coverage, and debt and equity ratios). The chapter identifies key indicators for performance measurement and classifies them into four major categories: transport optimization, information technology optimization, inventory optimization and resource optimization. These key indicators are arranged precisely for retail industry. From a supply chain perspective, the non financial measures such as on-time delivery, training of employees, warehouse layout, etc. are also important aspects of measuring supply chain performance. Further research can be carried out to validate the relevance and applicability of identified indicators. The study can be further conducted to measure the interrelationships between the KPIs and their impact on financial performance of the firm. In this chapter the author attempts to identify the performance indicators specifically for retail supply chain. The identified measures are further categorized based on its operations.

Abstract:
The Resource-Based View (RBV) has become one of the most popular ways to examine the impact of IT on firm performance. An increasing number of researchers are using the theoretical underpinning of the RBV to ground their research in investigating this relationship. This paper follows in this tradition by developing multidimensional measures for two dimensions of IT capability, inside-out IT capability and spanning IT capability. In this regard, the authors relate these dimensions to firm performance as profit ratios and cost ratios. Inside-out capability is the IT resources deployed from inside the firm in response to market requirements and opportunities. However, spanning IT capability involves both internal and external analysis and is needed to integrate the firm’s inside-out and outside-in IT competences. This study also makes an exploratory comparative assessment of the relative impact of inside-out IT capability and spanning IT capability, while analyzing the differences on the impact of IT capability in diverse types of organizations. Finally, the authors give evidence that different dimensions of IT capability may have different effects on performance measures.

Abstract:
The study of the financial imbalances of companies is a common topic for academics and practitioners because bankruptcy affects financial stability and modifies the investors' behavior. Since the 1960s, financial ratios have been used as diagnostic tools and also as independent variables within models aimed at quantifying firms' financial risk (e.g., Altman's Z-Score). In parallel, the strategic theory has developed theoretical constructs to explain why competitiveness is empirically heterogeneous. The resource-based view argues that companies can outperform rivals if they manage scarce, expensive, and hard-to-imitate resources. Ultimately, outperformers should be able to avoid (or overcome) financial imbalances. This chapter intends to analyze whether IT resources modify firm performance and financial risk. To do that, the authors collected data from a random sample of Galician SMEs, combining questionnaires, focused interviews, and public financial data. Hypotheses are explored by applying parametric statistical methods.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces and describes the fundamental statistical measures, methods, and principles that form the bedrock of prognosis research. A major emphasis is given to linear regression for continuous outcomes, logistic regression for binary outcomes, and Cox regression and parametric survival models for time-to-event outcomes. It is shown how these models can be used to identify prognostic factors; obtain measures of prognostic value of such factors such as mean differences, odds ratios, and hazard ratios; and produce a model for predicting outcomes (and outcome risk) in new individuals. Details are provided on how the predictive performance of a prognostic model should be evaluated using a specific set of statistical techniques, including measuring and displaying overall fit, calibration, and discrimination. The importance of investigating non-linear prognostic associations (using methods such as fractional polynomials and cubic splines) are also covered. The chapter is designed to ensure that novice and experienced prognosis researchers have a firm grasp of the statistical principles underlying the four types of prognosis research discussed throughout the book.

Abstract:
The issue of taxation is one of the key subjects that draw the attention of both policymakers and business executives. This chapter investigates the effects of taxation on the firm performance by using an extensive data set from a panel of 738 companies for 16 different countries over the years between 2000 and 2016. The results suggest that the impact of corporate tax rates on firm performance is significantly negative. The results also show that financial crisis, development levels of countries, and size of firms have a significant effect on this relationship. The results are robust in terms of combining different sets of control variables. These findings are to guide the business executives in the decision-making process, which could increase the firm performance, and the results may help to improve the implementation of fiscal policy in the field of taxation.

Abstract:
Literature on product categorization of e-retail products has adopted a consumer view and studied the direct effect on consumer-level variables such as purchase intent or customer satisfaction. In doing so, the moderating effect of product categorization of e-retail products on firm-level variables has been ignored. To address the implications of e-retail product categorization, this chapter asks the following question, What is the moderating effect of e-retail product category on sales performance? This chapter uses concepts of information economics, e-retailing, and the search-experience-credence (SEC) categorization of products to develop theoretical hypotheses. Using data from 500 US e-retailers, this chapter contends that the ease to evaluate retail products online has a positive effect on sales volume of e-retail firms. This effect is the result of increased web traffic and decreased conversion rates, which describes the e-retail market behavior with firm-level variables.

Abstract:
This chapter proposes an algorithm to make the bidding dynamic by not only awarding tenders on basis of cost quoted in tenders (biding cost) but also on contractor ratings. The ratings of contractors are computed using historical performance of contractor. The chapter empirically identifies the factors to rate the contractors. The historical values associated with the performance rating parameters are then combined using the “controlled values” which one assumed to standard across the industry, to yield the overall weighted rating of firms. This rating is then combined with the bidding cost, thereby making the selection of contractor dynamic. The selected contractor is paid bidding cost. The algorithm is executed a hypothetical value to illustrate the approach. A web-based tool had been proposed to automate the process of making the bidding dynamic.

The best way to distinguish successful and unsuccessful businesses in free market economies, they have an important criterion is the situation in which these enterprises have the labor productivity and performance. One of the ways to determine business performance is to determine how efficient, unique and productive the resources are being used. This study aims to explain the effects of resource use in business on the firm performance. In this context, 33 companies were selected which were in operation in Istanbul Stock Exchange 100 Index and traded in the manufacturing sector between the year

Abstract:
Small and medium firms are highly dependent on banks to finance their business activities. Thus, banking relationship may be crucial to overcome financial difficulties and to ensure their continuity. Accordingly, this paper investigates the influence of banking relationship on SMEs failure. In particular, four measures that firms can control to build their banking relationships and, that resemble standard variables from the literature on bank/firms relationships are evaluated: the breadth of relationships (number of banks), the relationship length(relationship duration), the relationship proxi

Abstract:
Squeeze Film Dampers (SFDs) are commonly used in turbomachinery to dampen shaft vibrations in rotor-bearing systems. The main factor deterring the success of analytical models for the prediction of SFD’s performance lays on the modeling of dynamic film rupture. Usually, the cavitation models developed for journal bearings are applied to SFDs. Yet, the characteristic motion of the SFD results in the entrapment of air into the oil film, producing a bubbly mixture that cannot be represented by these models. There is a need to identify and understand the parameters that affect air entrainment and

In the present study, theoretical investigation of film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer behavior for radiusing of film hole exit was evaluated. Seven rounding radii of R=0.0D, 0.06D, 0.08D, 0.1D, 0.3D, 0.5D and 0.8D were investigated. The film cooling effectiveness, the heat transfer coefficient, net heat flux ratio and discharge coefficient were investigated. Four mass flow rates in the range of 0.00044: 0.0018[kg/s] were used to investigate the effects of coolant velocity on the film cooling performance. Results show that using the film hole exit radiusing helps in improvement the fi

Heat transfer coefficients have been measured for film cooling injection from a single row of holes laterally directed with a compound angle of 60°. Two hole configurations were tested, round holes and holes with a diffusing expansion at the exit. Streamwise directed round holes were also tested as a basis for comparison. All the holes were inclined at 35° with respect to the surface. The density ratio was 1.0, momentum flux ratios ranged from I = 0.16 to 3.9 and mass flux ratios from M = 0.4 to 2.0.

This study is an investigation into the effects of density ratio on the jet structure of different film cooling configurations. A simple-shaped cylindrical hole is tested at a tight spacing, which has a lateral and streamwise pitch-to-hole-diameter ratio of 7.5. Each of the holes are 3.8mm in diameter, and have a hole length-to-diameter ratio of 11.2. The holes are inclined at 20°. The cylindrical hole shapes were machined from an aluminum plate. Two different density ratios of nominally 1 and 1.5, are achieved by alternating the coolant gas between air and CO2 respectively, while maintaining

The effects of injection rate and strength of curvature on film cooling performance of gas injected through a row of holes on a convex surface is studied. Comparisons are made to film cooling of concave and flat surfaces. Three different relative strengths of curvature (ratio of radius of curvature to radius of injection hole), two density ratios (0.95 and 2.0), and a wide range of blowing rates (0.3 to 2.7) are considered. A foreign gas injection technique (mass transfer analogy) is used. The strength of curvature was controlled by varying the injection hole diameter. At low blowing rates, fi

The experimental investigation of the film cooling performance of louver schemes using Thermochromic Liquid Crystal technique is presented in this paper. The louver scheme allows the cooling flow to pass through a bend and impinges with the blade material, which then exits to the outer surface of the aerofoil through the film cooling hole. The cooling performance for the louver scheme was analyzed across blowing ratios of 0.5 to 1.5 at a density ratio of 0.94. The results showed that the louver scheme enhances the local and the average film cooling performances in terms of film cooling effecti

In the face of the multiple shocks currently experienced by the domestic economy (resulting from the drop in oil prices and the appearance of a global pandemic), the Colombian financial system is in a position of sound solvency and adequate liquidity. At the same time, credit quality has been recovering and the exposure of credit institutions to firms with currency mismatches has declined relative to previous episodes of sudden drops in oil prices. These trends are reflected in the recent fading of red and blue tonalities in the performance and credit risk segments of the risk heatmaps in Grap
