Analyzing the Impact of a Decision Support System on a Medium Sized Apparel Company

2018-01-01
Decision Support Systems (DSS) have been considered as a crucial tool providing competitive advantages, productivity as well as flexibility. The system analysis of a representative medium sized apparel company is performed to derive the requirements of the specific DSS developed to analyze the effects of using it in the apparel company. The observed benefits of the DSS after one year of use are providing efficient use of capacity, accordingly decreasing production costs, effective and accurate calculation of pre-cost estimation, improved user performance and response time to customers, as well as increased financial turnover rate, customer service and decision quality.

Assessment of agile maturity models: a multiple case study
Özcan Top, Özden (2013-06-04)
Agile methods are welcomed by software community in recent years. The move from traditional methods to agile methods is not straightforward. Software organizations need assistance to achieve transition from traditional software development approaches to agile approaches and to improve their agile capability. During the last few years several agile maturity models/frameworks are developed to guide organizations in agile process improvement and agile adoption. In this study, we assess the strengths and weakne...
Involving end users in retrofit of higher education buildings
Gooding, Luke; Erdogan, Bilge; Gürsel Dino, İpek (2021-12-01)
Although the importance of end user participation during building improvement design is widely accepted, selecting the best approach for the engagement of users in design processes is a significant challenge. This paper assesses how qualitative end user engagement during retrofit planning can aid the design process of energy retrofits in higher education institutions. The application of this early stage approach to make design decisions is presented via a case study, carried out in the Faculty of Architectu...
A survey of software testing practices in Canada
Garousi, Vahid; Zhi, Junji (2013-05-01)
Software testing is an important activity in the software development life-cycle. In an earlier study in 2009, we reported the results of a regional survey of software testing practices among practitioners in the Canadian province of Alberta. To get a larger nationwide view on this topic (across Canada), we conducted a newer survey with a revised list of questions in 2010. Compared to our previous Alberta-wide survey (53 software practitioners), the nation-wide survey had larger number of participants (246 ...
Analysis of price-only and revenue sharing contracts in a reverse supply chain
Biazaran, Majid; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2016)
Original Equipment Manufacturers prefer to fully or partially outsource take-back activities, such as used product acquisition and handling, since dealing with reverse flow of goods is not their core competency. However, outsourcing may cause the supply chain to suffer from local optimization that results from decentralization. In such cases, different forms of contracts are offered to reduce the effects of decentralization. In this study, we consider a two-echelon reverse supply chain where a remanufacture...
