This study was conducted out of a need to examine the Quality Management practices of firms from the manufacturing industry sector, a sector which is becoming very important to Malaysia, one of the fastest growing countries of the Pacific-Rim. Since there has not been much research investigating the Quality Management Practices, especially on ISO 9000 and TQM among Malaysian Manufacturing SMEs, this study could be regarded as an exploratory study. SMEs are defined as firms with less than 200 employees. The main aim of this study was to develop a TQM Implementation Model (SMET Model) for SMEs a

Abstract:

Innovation is of increasing importance for raising the productivity, competitiveness and growth potential of modern economies (BIS 2010). New products are a form of innovation and New Product Development (NPD) is the term used to describe the innovation process of commercialising a new product idea. Due to the nature of innovation small-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) produce, typically ‘novel’ new-to-the world offerings that provide the highest potential contribution to the economy and businesses themselves, there is an increasing emphasis on NPD within SMEs. Despite this, there is a gap betw

Abstract:

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the information and communication technology (ICT) industries play a crucial role in the new economy. Most SMEs operate in a fiercely competitive environment; as such, it is important to optimize business practices. It is believed that performance measurement (PM) tools can help to identify weaknesses, clarify objectives and strategies, and improve management processes. While many theories on performance measurement and performance management have been developed mainly for large organizations over the past two decades, few have been tailored for SME

Abstract:

This study examines the impact of electricity shortages on the Large- and Medium-Scale Manufacturing Industry (LMSMI) in Ethiopia, using data obtained from a case study of 16 LMSMI firms that was undertaken in Addis Ababa from January 2004 to February 2004. In addition, the study examines the causes of these electricity shortages. Ethiopia's electricity supply relies very heavily on hydroelectric power, with geothermal, natural gas, solar, coal and diesel together providing only 1% of the total electricity supply. Significant power shortages occurred in the years 1995/96, 1997/98 and 1999/2000

The business management literature has largely neglected the theme of risk management for SMEs. So the aim of this research was to explore the current state of risk management in German SMEs and to reveal the problems which firms have with implementing a risk management system. Risk management is a relatively new discipline. Thus until now no general standard has been developed what to understand by a holistic risk management. Based on an extensive literature analysis, this study - besides risk management in the stricter sense - also sees the following components as essential for a holistic ri

Servitization has been a recognized business phenomenon since the late 1980s to innovate a business’s capabilities and processes to create value for their customer through service. Recent technological advances, particularly in the capabilities being developed by the Internet of Things (IoT) could be an enabler for a servitzation transition at an organization. Servitization, enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT), has not been considered in the context of Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs).

Despite a growing literature on business process re-engineering (BPR) principles and prospects, there is little empirical research evaluating the success or failure of BPR initiatives. This is especially so in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) where the potential for BPR benefit may differ significantly from that in their larger counterparts. An examination of the literature on process re-engineering reveals that BPR guidelines derived from the experiences in large organisations are inadequate for SMEs given the different characteristics of SMEs in terms of size, structure, culture, re

Abstract:

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are a key part of manufacturing economies. However, the move towards globalisation of supply can potentially be harmful to SMEs, which, because of their size and lack of internal resources, often lack the capability to add value to their products and differentiate themselves in the marketplace. Networks are seen as a key method by which SMEs can acquire "know how" on the external environment as well as in collaborating to supply customers to overcome these constraints. However, there is a lack of clarity in the literature on the appropriate type of network t

This thesis investigates how involvement in networks contributes to firm-level upgrading in emerging markets.

Hence, the firm-level upgrading became a process of improving technological and organisational deficiencies in the firms' knowledge base, particularly through knowledge transfer and learning in netwo

The increased focus on market outcomes has resulted in the need for arts organisation to pay much greater attention to developing audiences and cultivating consumers for the arts.

There have been three well established manufacturing revolutions in recent history and some say that the fourth is occurring currently by the name of Smart Manufacturing, Indusrie 4.0, and others. This latest manufacturing revolution is highly dependent on industrial connectivity. This research aims to gage the ability of Industrial Innovation Platforms (IIPs) to reduce complexity of implementing base-line industrial connectivity for small and medium-s

" - Trade and Industry Minister Alec Erwin (2000). The objective of this thesis is to assess how applicable transformation methodologies (essentially a design process) are to South African small and medium manufacturing enterprises (SMEs). Enterprise Engineering was chosen as the reference discipline for this study. Enterprise Engineering is an emerg

Etude de la corrosion chimique en autoclaves (essais statiques) des fibres d'amiante chrysotile en milieu fortement alcalin : de 20 à 40% en poids de KOH entre 120 et 180°C. L'étude cinétique montre que la dissolution du chrysotide est provoquée au départ par l'oxydation de ses impuretés métalliques en milieu alcalin et passe par une série de dégradations-transformations locales, différentes selon la nature du matériau rencontré par les ions hydroxyles

Abstract:

Wireless Communication is the only solution for data transfer between mobile terminals to access the sensors and actuators in industrial environment Control Area Network (CAN) is desirable solution for many industrial applications since it meets the requirements of real-time transfer of messages between systems. In situations where the use of a cable is not feasible it is important and necessary to design wireless medium access control protocols for CAN to provide real-time communications. This thesis deals with modelling, simulation and performance analysis of wireless medium access control p

Abstract:

This licentiate thesis combines three different topics, the small business environment, industrial design and rapid tooling. Smaller companies often suffer from lack of resources in many ways and since most theoretical product development methods are formulated for larger companies, this is a problem. The possibility to design and give their products the desired form is therefore difficult. Rapid tooling is a new way of producing forming tools that cut the cost and lead time compared to conventional tooling methods. The aim of this thesis is to investigate and clarify if Rapid tooling is a sol
