A Study of Relationship among Information, Supply Chain Management and Manufacturing Performance of Semiconductor Downstream Firms.

Wave, Chia-Ming 21 June 2000 (has links)
The development of information technology (IT) shortens the distance between people, blurs the boundaries among countries. People confront unprecedented shock in both living and working styles. Facing the era of speed, the firms have to recognize what their surviving competence is. Generally the adoption of IT indicates the efficiency and effectiveness of a firm. Therefore, the first centerpiece in this study is to examine the influence of adoption of IT on the manufacturing performance of thefirms. With its high quality and excellent process capability in manufacturing industry, Taiwan has currently become the "global manufacturing center". Nowadays Taiwan's firms will contract the orders of production and sales from global division of labor rather than simple manufacturing orders. The challenge that Taiwan's firms will confront in the future will be supply chain management (SCM), which is also a key issue for a firm to enhance its competence. Therefore, the second centerpiece in this study is to examine the influence of supply chain management on the manufacturing performance of the firms. Supply chain management has become a good tool of the firms in their business management. Therefore, the third centerpiece in this study is to examine the relationship between supply chain management and the development of IT, and their influence on the manufacturing performance of the firms. 79 semiconductor downstream firms were used as target of sampling for data collection, while effective recalling rate is 37%. The result of this study indicates: 1. The application extent of IT with the capability of SCM reaches significant level. 2. The capability of SCM with the manufacturing performance reaches significant level. 3. The application extent of IT with the manufacturing performance does not reach significant level.

AnÃlise de desempenho do emprego do multi-acesso em redes compostas por sistema celular de 3Â geraÃÃo e rede local sem fio / Performance analysis inclusion of multi-acess networks composed for 3rd generatiom cellular system and wireless local area networks

Leonardo Sampaio Cardoso 13 August 2006 (has links)
nÃo hà / Com as crescentes demandas pela provisÃo de serviÃos de dados em redes celulares, seus operadores tem arcado com os problemas de acomodar as crescentes capacidades enquanto mantÃm os nÃveis de qualidade de serviÃo. As redes de Multi-Acesso (MA) constituem uma maneira eficiente de oferecer estas capacidades, jà que oferecem maneiras de agregar os recursos de rÃdio das Tecnologias de Acesso de Radio (RATs)1 empregadas. Apesar do conceito de Multi-Acesso ser interessante, os ganhos providos por sua adoÃÃo nÃo sÃo claros. Tais ganhos podem vir de diferentes fontes, tais como, a inclusÃo de uma nova RAT e do emprego de procedimentos de SeleÃÃo de Acesso (AS) adequados. A primeira fonte diz respeito aos ganhos disponibilizados pelo acrÃscimo de recursos de rÃdio, enquanto a segunda diz respeito à melhor distribuiÃÃo dos usuÃrios as RATs. Este trabalho visa tornar claro o ganho envolvido na adiÃÃo de uma Rede Local Sem Fio (WLAN) 802.11a a uma UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN), tanto para uma distribuiÃÃo de usuÃrios homogÃnea quanto para uma situaÃÃo de hotspot, empregando o conceito de redes de MA como tecnologia habilitadora. TambÃm entra em detalhes sobre as caracterÃsticas de alguns procedimentos de AS2 baseados em cobertura, taxa de transmissÃo do usuÃrio, vazÃo estimada da RAT e mista (taxa de transmissÃo e carga), tentando apontar quais fornecem os melhores desempenhos. A avaliaÃÃo à baseada em simulaÃÃes dinÃmicas e sistÃmicas que contam com modelagem detalhada das tecnologias e conceitos envolvidos. Os resultados mostram que, considerando a modelagem e prÃ-suposiÃÃes, ganhos significativos podem ser conseguidos usando algoritmos de AS inteligentes no cenÃrio do MA envolvendo as redes UTRAN e WLAN. / With the increasing demands for data services over the cellular networks, their operators are faced with the issue of providing the requested capacities while maintaining the service quality levels. The Multi-Access (MA) networks can be a cost effective way of raising those capacities, as it provides means to aggregate radio resources from the adopted Radio Access technologies (RATs) involved. Although the MA concept seems very promising, the gains concerning its adoption are not quite clear. These gains can come from different sources, such as from the inclusion of a second RAT itself and from the adoption of a suitable Access Selection (AS) procedure. The former concerns the gains available with the increase in the amount of radio resources while the latter concerns the ones available with a more suitable distribution of users among the RATs. This work aims to clarify the gains concerning the usage of the WLAN IEEE 802.11a in addition to the UTRAN, both in the homogeneous user distribution and hotspot cases, while employing the MA framework as the enabling technology. It also looks into the characteristics of some AS procedures based on coverage, user bit rate, estimated RAT throughput and mixed (user bit rate and load), aiming at clarifying which ones provide the best performance. The evaluation is based on a dynamic system-level multi-access simulator, comprised of a good and detailed level of the modeling concerning the involved technologies and concepts. Results show that considering the assumptions and modeling, significant capacity gains can be achieved when using intelligent AS algorithms in the UTRAN-WLAN MA networks.

EU Trade : The Issues at Stake with China - With the exploration of International Political Economy

Yang, Peng January 2009 (has links)
<p>China has been the second largest trading partner of EU in goods and the forth largest in services since it joined the WTO in 2001. For its part, the European Union has been China’s largest trading partner since 2004. Despite this, there are a range of issues at stake between the EU and China who are not only involved into economical disputes, but are also at odds on political matters. In this paper the authors conduct the study based on trade hindrances instead of trade achievements with the approaches of IPE based on the assumption: the tenser of trade-ties, the deeper the political dimension involved and the more delicate the relationship between Economy and Politics projected to be. Considering the limitation of time and space, the paper focuses primarily on the trade issues regarded from three different angles: the internal issues related to trade (e.g. trade deficit, IPR infringement); the external issues related to trade (e.g. human rights); the ultimate issues related to trade (e.g. technology). Instead of putting forth feasible resolution to these issues, the main feature of this paper lies in the analysis of trade issues in combination with the approaches of International political economy. It’s interesting and far-reaching to research EU (trade) from the perspective of IPE because as Michael Smith argued “The EU’s place in the IPE is challenging not only in the empirical sense, but also in the conceptual sense, for simple reason that (on the one hand) it is not a state and that (on the other hand) it performs a number of vital state functions in the IPE” (Michael Smith 2006, p.527).</p>

Um sistema de gerência e educação na saúde de idosos com doenças crônicas

Barbosa, Maria Lúcia Kroeff January 2013 (has links)
Com o aumento da população idosa nas últimas décadas e a popularização dos serviços de saúde em domicílio (homecare), observou-se a necessidade de criação de tecnologias que facilitassem o acesso destes serviços para usuários idosos. Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), boa parte dos cuidados que os indivíduos necessitam pode ser proporcionada por eles mesmos, ou seja, seu envolvimento e sua educação no processo de tomada de decisão resulta em melhora das condições de saúde e aumento da sua qualidade de vida. Com base nisso, este estudo tem por objetivo investigar como um sistema de gerenciamento em saúde pode ser utilizado para promover algumas mudanças de hábitos do idoso quanto aos cuidados com sua saúde e visa responder que mudanças de comportamento relativas à qualidade de vida podem ser promovidas por uma tecnologia desse tipo. Para tanto, serão apresentadas informações relacionadas às doenças crônicas, principalmente no que dizem respeito à hipertensão arterial, diabetes mellitus e obesidade. Além disso, serão abordados aspectos relacionados aos tipos de velhice, perfil epidemiológico do idoso no mundo contemporâneo, direito dos idosos, o “ser idoso” na sociedade e a educação dos idosos. Importante salientar que a fundamentação teórica baseou-se em autores como Jacques Delors, Jack Mezirow, Vitoria Kachar e Paulo Freire, entre outros. Para realizar esta pesquisa, foi desenvolvido e utilizado um sistema de gerenciamento e educação denominado i-Care, sendo que a abordagem de pesquisa utilizada foi quali-quantitativa. A amostra, por conveniência, incluiu 5 idosos com idades entre 60 e 85 anos que obtiveram resultados satisfatórios tanto em relação aos aspectos mais subjetivos, bem como aos parâmetros funcionais de idosos portadores de doença crônica. / With the increase of elderly population in the last decades and the popularization of homecare health services, new technologies were created to increase the use of these services for elderly people. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), much of the care that individuals need can be provided by themselves, i.e., their involvement and conscientiousness in the decision-making process results in improvement in health and increase in quality of life. Based on that, this study aims to investigate how a health management system can be used to promote some habit changes in elderly regarding their health and aims to answer which behavior changes related to the quality of life can be promoted by such technology. In order to accomplish that, we present some information related to chronic diseases, especially hypertension, diabetes mellitus and obesity. Besides, we address aspects related to elderly types, profiles of elderly epidemiology worldwide, elderly rights, the "elderly being" in society and the elderly education. Important to note that the theoretical foundation was based on authors such as Jacques Delors, Jack Mezirow, Vitoria Kachar and Paulo Freire, among others. To conduct this research, we developed and used a health monitoring and education system called i-Care. The research approach was qualitative and quantitative. The sample, chosen by convenience, included five seniors aged 60 to 85 years who achieved satisfactory results both in relation to the subjective aspects of the research as well as the objective parameters monitored in the patients.
