Process Approach to supply chain integration
Supply Chain Management, 2007Co-Authors: Peter Trkman, Mojca Indihar Stemberger, Jurij Jaklic, Ales GroznikAbstract:Purpose: Business renovation, the effective utilisation of information technology and the role of business Process modelling and simulation are all vital in supply chain integration projects. The main idea is to show through a combination of these methods how the performance of the supply chain can be improved with the renovation and integration of Processes at various tiers in the chain and by the sharing of information between companies.Methodology/Approach: Simulation-based methodology for measuring the benefits of the creation and renovation of business Process models combines the methodology of developing Process models and its simulation with the simulation of supply and demand. A procurement Process in the oil/retail petrol industry is examined in a case study.Findings: Using the proposed methodology, different business Process models can be investigated and simulated. The benefits for each company involved in the presented case are substantial and can be estimated through a simulation. Substantial benefits in costs, quality and lead times were identified, however, their distribution is not symmetric. Inter-organisational IS and applied technology were enablers for supply chain integration. However, organisational changes and new business models were prerequisites for obtaining those benefits.Practical implications: The Process Approach to supply chain integration presents a mechanism that can be applied to any industry. It represents a systematic methodological business renovation Approach involving cost cuts, quality improvements and lead time improvements. The costs of supply chain integration projects were not studied. The benefits should be measured against the cost of testing the economic feasibility of such projects.Originality/value of paper: The effective utilisation of business Process modelling and a simulation of the necessary business renovation is shown. The novel combination of business Process and demand/supply simulation enables an estimation of changes in lead-times, Process execution costs, quality of the Process and inventory costs. Although the methodology is presented through a case study of the oil/retail petrol industry, it can also be used to estimate the benefits and monitor supply chain integration projects in other industries.

a fuzzy group analytical hierarchy Process Approach for software quality assurance management fuzzy logarithmic least squares method
Expert Systems With Applications, 2011Co-Authors: Kevin Kam Fung Yuen, Henry C W LauAbstract:This paper proposes a Fuzzy Group Analytical Hierarchy Process Approach for assessing the quality of software, with judgments by a group of experts at different levels. The international standard of software quality attributes, ISO/IEC9126-1:2001 which comprises of 6 criteria with 27 subcriteria, is applied as the attributes of software quality. Regarding the prioritization method, the modified fuzzy Logarithmic Least Squares Method (LLSM) is applied to derive the importance weight vectors. The Fuzzy Prioritization Programming for Direct Rating Scales (FPP-DRS) on the basis of the modified fuzzy LLSM and the rescaling functions is proposed to design the direct rating scales in fuzzy number. The Fuzzy Synthesis Programming for Absolute Measurement (FSPAM) including Integrated Fuzzy Scores of Individual Expert (IFSIE) and Group Integrated Fuzzy Score (GIFS) is proposed to aggregate the criteria values from various experts. The proposed Approach can help a group of various experts including developers, testers and purchasers, to measure the level of the software quality of the in-house development or the third party development.

a fuzzy analytic hierarchy Process Approach in modular product design
Expert Systems, 2001Co-Authors: Wing Bun Lee, Henry C W Lau, Zhuozhi Liu, Samson TamAbstract:Product development stages. The analytic hierarchy Process (AHP), which breaks down a complex problem into simple hierarchical decision-making Processes, can be incorporated with fuzzy logic to suggest the relative strength of the factors in the corresponding criteria, thereby enabling the construction of a fuzzy judgement matrix to facilitate decision-making. This paper proposes a fuzzy AHP Approach in modular product design complemented with a case example to validate its feasibility in a real company. Test findings indicate that the Approach is helpful for providing key decision support information in terms of product module selection during product development stages. The significance of the contribution of this paper is the suggestion of a novel Approach in modular product design, embracing a combination of computational intelligence and traditional techniques, thereby providing more alternatives and ideas for those researchers who are interested in this field of study.

sport participation among individuals with acquired physical disabilities group differences on demographic disability and health action Process Approach constructs
Disability and Health Journal, 2015Co-Authors: Mariejosee Perrier, Celina H Shirazipour, Amy E LatimercheungAbstract:Abstract Background Despite numerous physical, social, and mental health benefits of engaging in moderate and vigorous intensity physical activities (e.g., sport), few individuals with acquired physical disabilities currently participate in adapted sport. Theory-based sport promotion interventions are one possible way to increase the amount of individuals who engage in sport. Objectives The primary objective of this study was to examine the profiles of three different sport participation groups with respect to demographic, injury, and Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) constructs. Methods ANOVAs and Chi-square tests were used to determine group differences on demographic and disability-related constructs. A MANCOVA was conducted to determine differences between three sport participation groups (non-intenders, intenders, and actors) with age, years post-injury, mode of mobility, and sex included as covariates. Results A cohort of 201 individuals was recruited; 56 (27.9%) were non-intenders, 21 (10.4%) were intenders, and 124 (61.7%) were actors. The MANCOVA revealed significant differences between groups on the HAPA constructs, F (22,370) = 9.02, p Conclusion These results provide an important framework that adapted sport organizations can use to tailor their sport promotion programs.

i act therefore i am athletic identity and the health action Process Approach predict sport participation among individuals with acquired physical disabilities
Psychology of Sport and Exercise, 2012Co-Authors: Mariejosee Perrier, Shane N Sweet, Shaelyn M Strachan, Amy E LatimercheungAbstract:Abstract Objective The study had two objectives 1) to test the fit of the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model for sport participation among individuals with acquired physical disabilities and 2) to estimate the extent to which athletic identity predicts intentions to engage in sport within the context of HAPA. Design Prospective cohort of 82 women and 19 men with acquired permanent disabilities ( M age = 44.0; M years post-injury = 16.2; % in sport = 61.7%). Method All HAPA indicators and athletic identity were assessed at baseline and sport participation was assessed using the Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire for People with Spinal Cord Injury two weeks later. Structural equation modelling was used to test the HAPA model. Results The HAPA constructs explained 15% of the variance in sport participation and 18% of the variance when athletic identity was added to the model. Instrumental ( β = .21), affective ( β = .15), and negative outcome expectancies ( β = −.20) were significant predictors of intentions to participate in sport, as was athletic identity ( β = .25). Intentions to participate in sport significantly predicted planning ( β = .54) yet there was no direct relationship between planning and sport participation ( β = −.008; p > .05). When the relationship between planning and maintenance self-efficacy was reversed, planning had a significant indirect effect on sport participation through maintenance self-efficacy ( β = .33). Conclusion The HAPA model is a good predictive model for sport participation among those with acquired physical disabilities; furthermore, athletic identity accounts for additional variance in sport participation. These constructs can be valuable components of sport promotion programs for this population.
