Process improvement in manufacturing sector traditionally starts with calculation of Cost of Quality. Cost of Quality calculation enables identification of the weakest links of the process that requires immediate attention, prioritization of improvement tasks and establishment of a baseline for these tasks. In the software field, process improvement initiatives usually, leave out the cost of quality calculations. In this paper, we report a case study on the utilization of Cost of Software Quality as an initiator for software process improvement in a public software development organization

Apply Quantitative Management Now TARHAN, AYÇA; Demirörs, Onur (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012-05-01) The Assessment Approach for Quantitative Process Management (A2QPM) helps identify software process measures for quantitative analysis even when organizations lack formal systems for process measurement. A2QPM is the first approach to quantitative management that offers software organizations a well-defined, detailed guideline for assessing their software processes and applying beneficial quantitative techniques to improve them. All the A2QPM applications we've described resulted in quantitative analysis im...
Determination of a price index for escalation of building construction costs in Turkey Kahraman, Serhan; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Construction cost indices are developed to measure the degree of price variations in construction material and labor costs. However, each specific type of construction is a combination of unique set of materials and labor. As such, the degree of price variations referring to each specific type of construction shall be measured by specific price indices, in order to achieve more accurate results. In Turkey, Producer Price Index (PPI) published by State Statistics Institute is commonly used for the escalation...
Improving resource efficiency in surface coating/painting industry: practical experiences from a small-sized enterprise Alkaya, Emrah; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2014-12-01) The European Commission has an objective of improved resource efficiency in manufacturing enterprises (particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises-SMEs) by structural and technological changes. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the concrete improvements as a result of a systematic resource efficiency methodology applied to an SME in surface coating/painting industry in Turkey which is an EU accession country. Within the context of this study, cadmium plating process was substituted with a less t...
Tactical inventory and backorder decisions for systems with predictable production yield MART, Turgut; Duran, Serhan; Bakal, İsmail Serdar (2013-06-01) We consider a manufacturing system with stochastic demand and predictable production yield. The manufacturer has predetermined prices and limited production capacity in each period. The manufacturer also has the option to save some inventory for future periods even if there is demand in the current period. The demand that is not met is lost or may be backordered for only one period. Our objective is to maximize the expected profit by choosing optimal produce-up-to level ((Y) over bar*(t)), save (S*(t)) and ...
A framework for energy reduction in manufacturing process chains (E-MPC) and a case study from the Turkish household appliance industry Uluer, Muhtar Ural; Gok, Gozde; FESCİOĞLU-ÜNVER, NİLGÜN; KILIÇ, SADIK ENGİN (2016-01-20) Energy is a major input in the manufacturing sector. Its security and efficiency are of supreme importance to a nation's industrial activities. Energy consumption also has serious environmental impacts in terms of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. In order to use energy more efficiently, simply designing parts and planning manufacturing processes with an energy-aware mindset is insufficient; it is also necessary to model and assess the energy efficiency of a process chain from a holistic point of view. In thi...
