Рассмотрены возможности использования инструментария системной инженерии для моделирования жизнедеятельности социально-экономических систем в условиях...

The efficiency with which energy and raw materials are used within the 7process industries depends strongly on the way in which resources are distributed within a manufacturing site. Most sites or processes contain several sources or sinks of the resource. For example, a chemical plant will have...

Engineering economy entails the dollars-and-cents side of the decisions engineers make today (Sullivan et al., 2012). In the context of engineering economy, engineers make recommendations to work proposals and compare these alternatives based on several criterions. One such criterion is the...

In this paper, the authors propose a conceptual model that aims to increase the competitiveness of a company though a systems engineering approach. This process which the company adopted to enhance its manufacturing system in a step-by-step manner is elaborated. Central to the strategy is the...

<Para ID="Par2">“Big data” describes technologies that promise to fulfill a fundamental tenet of research in information systems, which is to provide the right information to the right receiver in the right volume and quality at the right time. For information systems research as an application-oriented...</para>

We investigate the implementation of the principles of systems engineering in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fuel Cycle Technologies (FCT) Program to provide a framework for achieving its long-term mission of demonstrating and deploying sustainable nuclear fuel cycle options. A fuel cycle...

Why is Memphis home to hundreds of motor carrier terminals and distribution centers? Why does the tiny island-nation of Singapore handle a fifth of the world’s maritime containers and half the world’s annual supply of crude oil? Which jobs can replace lost manufacturing jobs in advanced...

Purpose - This paper aims to propose an extended version of systems development life cycle (SDLC) based on critical systems thinking for information system (IS) adoption in an organizational context from a management perspective. Design/methodology/approach - The model integrates traditional...

Strategic planning can be a critical business process for today’s organizations, especially for IT organizations that are facing continually changes in technology. This research was designed to investigate IT organizations’ use of strategic planning and determine if the organization uses...

This dissertation describes the development of a game-based methodology that facilitates the exploration and selection of research and development (R&D) projects under uncertain competitive scenarios. The proposed method provides an approach that analyzes competitor positioning and formulates...
