The internalization process model through the lens of the global color picture tube industry

Article Abstract:

The internationalization process model proved to be ineffective in illustrating current industry manufacturing practices. Utilization of secondary industry data and primary plant-level manufacturing data from the global color picture tube industry revealed the inefficiencies of the model to forecast or predict the dynamics of today's products and production. A need to alter the internationalization process model by taking into consideration global economic changes, international factory roles, worldwide diffusion of management knowledge and the increasing possibility of attaining multiple competitive priorities was also revealed.

Monitoring process parameters with Pre-Control

Article Abstract:

Two models for the evaluation of process parameters used in Pre-Control (PC) process monitoring procedures are proposed. The first, 'The Coded Moving Range' model, estimates process variability, while the second, the 'modified Cp(f) model' is used to determine the process centering mean. Simulation analysis confirm the simplicity and accuracy of both models, which were found to generate better measures of mean and variability compare to traditional models.

Process design in a down-sizing service operation

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze a case study about process design involving the Army Central Issue Facility's plan for possible staff reductions. The effects of down-sizing on customer service were examined and determined as average time-in-system. Several assumptions were considered, including equality of variances and normality. Results indicated that customer batch size had a significant influence on average time-in-system than server allocation.
