Abstract:

The purpose of this research study is to examine the relationship between Quality management (QM) practices deployed as part of a broader management approach and organisational performance in a financial services industry. Quality management as an organisational performance improvement tool or approach has been in practice since the late 1980's following the decline in the American manufacturing industry and competitive position compared to the Japanese. Quality management practices have increasingly become an approach used by firms for gaining competitive advantage in an environment where the

Abstract:

Zeolite membranes displaying high flux and high selectivity are of major interest for potential industrial applications, such as gas and liquid separations. In order to achieve high flux and high selectivity, the zeolite membrane must be thin (< 1 µm) and free from flow-through defects. The development of thin defect-free zeolite membranes requires powerful tools for characterisation of the defects in the membranes. Permporometry is one of the most straightforward, non-destructive and powerful techniques for characterisation of flow-through pores in inorganic membranes. In permporometry, the f

Abstract:

As computer networks grow in complexity, measuring the performance becomes a challenge. Intrinsic properties of the networks capability to transport data, such as bandwidth, latency, loss, and error rate are not always enough to provide a clear picture of how well the network can satisfy the users' expectations. In these situations, the relationship between the users' expectations and the quality provided by the network is of interest. Today multiple approaches to quantifying quality exists, such as Quality of Service (QoS), Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Information (QoI). In this

This thesis looks into the possibility of assessing legislative performance and democratic quality using performance management frameworks and methods used for organisational development and change and whether measurement of this kind is beneficial to improving democratic quality and the legitimation of the political system in general. Political institutions and in particular legislatures are often immune from the adverse effects of poor performance due to large budget allocations regardless of efficacy. Furthermore a rise in efficiency is often seen as a threat to the institution's accountabi

Abstract:

Performance is an aspect of software quality that is often not considered at early stages of software design. Common approaches to performance analysis include utilizing profiling tools after the software has been developed to find bottlenecks and executing simulation models that are either manually constructed or derived from UML design diagrams. Many projects attempt to correct performance issues by adding more powerful hardware instead of attacking the root cause. Software metrics have been used to predict many aspects of software quality such as maintainability and fault-tolerance by corre

The study finds that the √3 refinement scheme produces more realistic-looking results than Loop subdivision. Results remain consistent over models with more complex topology but become l

Quality aspects of wood pellets and their use have been of utmost importance since the development of the pellet market in the early 1980s.

The focus of this work has been on pellet quality, with investigations divided into three main topics: (1) the effect of physical properties of pellets on their combustion properties, (2) the effect on particle emissions due to manipulation of the ash ch

Abstract:

Research on Reduced Audit Quality Practices (RAQP) has consistently shown serious negative consequences in the auditing profession. It has found that under certain pressure levels, auditors tend to engage in RAQP. However, most of the previous studies that had investigated RAQP failed to examine RAQP from a stress model perspective which incorporates stressors, stress measures and stress consequences into the model and to measure the interactions among these constructs. Previous research has mainly focused on the direct effect of stressors (e.g., time budget pressure, leadership styles, indivi

Quality management is a key element in organizations to improve operational performance, product quality and organizational performance, but despite extensive research, it is still necessary to determine which quality management practices are most important or can generate the greatest benefits in organizations.
