Book Description
Companies are involved in a continuous process of change in order to renew capabilities and achieve a competitive advantage in a hyper competitive setting. The key, then, is to own and nurture the resources and competencies that make up the essence of the business. This work discusses the impact of core competences on organizational performance as a critical issue in manufacturing sector This paper proposes model for creating competitive advantage through core competence. The approach is used by reviewing some concept about core competence. An organizer questionnaire was developed ,through which data of 59 manufacturing organizations was collected. A range of methods were used to analyses statistical data, and the results were extracted using SPSS. The result’s of correlation analysis, shows that there is a significant correlation among core competences and organizational performance.Using regression analysis, core competencies were shortlisted.

Strategic Implementation of Continuous Improvement Approach
Author: Jagdeep Singh
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319931210
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
This book covers the strategic use of continuous improvement (CI) techniques for manufacturing performance improvement. It focuses primarily on strategies that can be adopted by small and middle-sized enterprises in manufacturing in order to meet the global challenges and competition. The book begins with an introduction to CI (or Kaizen), explaining different CI approaches and strategies. Chapter 2 offers a literature review of CI, examining conceptual frameworks, case studies, and surveys. Next, the book deals with the design of the study, detailing the work done in each phase along with the tools, techniques and models. Chapter 4 presents a detailed survey to determine the present status of continuous improvement strategies in the Indian manufacturing industry, to assess the important barriers that effect the implementation of CI strategies, and to also assess the role of key enablers leading to improve the performance of manufacturing operations. Chapter 5 is comprised of detailed case studies to further analyze the application of the discussed CI strategies. The purpose of Chapter 6 is to develop the relationship among the different identified most important barriers in implementing CI approach using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and classify these barriers depending upon their driving and dependence power. Finally Chapter 7 provides conclusions, addresses potential limitations, and also looks to the future.

Pages : 944
Book Description
HANDBOOK OF INTELLIGENT COMPUTING AND OPTIMIZATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest breakthroughs and recent progress in sustainable intelligent computing technologies, applications, and optimization techniques across various industries. Optimization has received enormous attention along with the rapidly increasing use of communication technology and the development of user-friendly software and artificial intelligence. In almost all human activities, there is a desire to deliver the highest possible results with the least amount of effort. Moreover, optimization is a very well-known area with a vast number of applications, from route finding problems to medical treatment, construction, finance, accounting, engineering, and maintenance schedules in plants. As far as optimization of real-world problems is concerned, understanding the nature of the problem and grouping it in a proper class may help the designer employ proper techniques which can solve the problem efficiently. Many intelligent optimization techniques can find optimal solutions without the use of objective function and are less prone to local conditions. The 41 chapters comprising the Handbook of Intelligent Computing and Optimization for Sustainable Development by subject specialists, represent diverse disciplines such as mathematics and computer science, electrical and electronics engineering, neuroscience and cognitive sciences, medicine, and social sciences, and provide the reader with an integrated understanding of the importance that intelligent computing has in the sustainable development of current societies. It discusses the emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of successfully implementing new and innovative intelligent techniques in a variety of sectors, including IoT, manufacturing, optimization, and healthcare. Audience It is a pivotal reference source for IT specialists, industry professionals, managers, executives, researchers, scientists, and engineers seeking current research in emerging perspectives in the field of artificial intelligence in the areas of Internet of Things, renewable energy, optimization, and smart cities.
