Research paper thumbnail of Some Approaches for Sharing Logistics Information from Manufacturing Enterprises with Downstream Supply Chain Partners

To solve this problem this article proposes some approaches for information sharing with downstream partners of supply chains. The main approach is sending an XML file with free capacity by days from a manufacturing enterprise to its corporate customers. In this case corporate customers who send orders to the manufacturer are sure that their orders will be accepted and carried out. The practical implication of the proposed method is for manufacturing enterprises who have a lot of orders and sometimes reject some of the orders due to the lack of free manufacturing capacity.

The object oriented technologies diminish or eliminate some typical problems of the procedural software, but on the other hand they can introduce new problems wich have as a result classes of defects difficult to be adressed by means of traditional technologies of testing. In particular, the defects depended of the state, are to be meet more frequently in the object oriented programming systems rather than the procedural ones; almost all object have an associated state, and the behavior of the object. Such defects can hardly be decovered because they create anomalies only when the objects are used in particular states.

Nevertheless, in order to manage the quality of the software and of the standard practices in an organization, it is important to achieve an estimation of the reliability as accurate as possible. In the present work there are described the principles and techniques which underlie the estimation of the reliability of the software, starting from the definition of the concepts which express the attributes of software quality. It is taken into account the issue of the estimation of a software part. The presumed objective of the estimation of the reliability consists in the analysis of the risk and of the reliability of the software-based systems. Supposedly, a documented opinion of the expert exists regarding the reliability of the software and an update of the defined estimation of the reliab...

Two methods will be used: a quantitative one, determined by a multiple linear regression model, and a qualitative one that encumbers a sustainable vector model for generating economic growth. The data panel covers 36 states, for a period of 21 years. The paper manages to identify the main control functions that the stock exchange has over the macroeconomic context, through the quantitative and qualitative method, and to highlight the most important positive and negative attributes of using qualitative methods, in contrast to quantitative ones. The results show a predominant probabilistic characteristic of quantitative methods, in contrast to the flexibility and complexity of the qualitative method, which has been used. Additionally, the quantitative method offers a strictly cartesian perspective for determining future scenarios, while the sustain...

Combining the internal and external approaches of opportunity recognition, the study analyzes how social media influences the entrepreneurs in discovering new entrepreneurial opportunities. Structural equation modeling was used in this study, using the variance-based partial least squares (PLS)–structural equation modeling (SEM), on a sample of 354 entrepreneurs. We concluded that social media directly and positively influences entrepreneurial opportunity recognition while entrepreneurial alertness (internal approach) and social networks (external approach) partially mediates its indirect effects on entrepreneurial opportunity recognition. The study contributes to the existing literature by bringing new insights into the entrepreneurial opportunity recognition process by focusing on a poorly represented factor in the literature, social media.

Business Intelligence does not produce data, but uses the data produced by the company’s applications. BI solutions extract their data from ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), CRM (Customer Relationship Management), HCM (Human Capital Management), and Retail, eCommerce or other databases used in the company.

There are a large number of languages that have been developed with different objectives, but they have all been used to describe business processes. Languages have studied different aspects of business processes (dynamic, functional, organizational, informational) and may be more or less formal, depending on the intended use and audience. There is no easy way to classify these languages along a single dimension. However, the languages fall into four groups, clearly defined scientifically or professionally: traditional process modeling languages, object-oriented languages, dynamic process modeling languages, and the integration of languages. Economic processes are generally very complex and, therefore, different points can be formulated about their modeling. Keywords:...

Any variation of CMMI, depending on the scope of application, can also be used to assess the process maturity of an organization. Regarding the Software Reliability Engineering (SRE) process, the activities in the SRE process have been briefly described, noting that the application of SRE in all software-based products leads to good control over the development process.

Cities have implemented traffic monitoring systems to sustain the new building code in meeting the target for environmental indicators. Timisoara is the second city in Romania and manages over 60% of the development and pollution of Timis County. The analysis of large volumes of data provided by local sensors and databases requires big data analytics. In this research, for the first time, we simultaneously developed two parallel scenario-based decision-making support models to assess a CO2 sequestration index. The model is based on a tree inventory for traffic area and car flow using Roegenian processes with borders. The first scenario (dt1) analyzes the real O2-pollution car flows for process streets as receivers of pollution. The second scenario (dt2) analyzes O2-pollution flows for the same streets from the perspective of streets that garage the cars. We modeled the parallel integration of actual ...

The national ICT adoption is significant especially in sustainable economic development of Romania. The degree to which Romania join the digital economy is influenced by measures and policies adopted by the government. The Government should facilitate, motivate and support the adoption of ICT at all three levels: individual, entrepreneurial and governmental. A nation cannot benefit from participation in digital economy when the government vision on the use of modern technology is not sufficiently developed. If Romania wants to be a competitive country, then the main role of Government should be to facilitate and enable development of the digital economy.

Change of business climate has globally affected the important supporter of the GDP, SMEs. Romania's participation in digital economy allows increased electronic inclusion and minimizes the digital divide. Success in an emerging digital economy is given by increasing the spread of ICT, e-readiness and government measures to support technology development. E-readiness provides important information about Romania: the country's participation in digital economy, the level of use and generate knowledge, communication channels and accessibility of trade, the global competitiveness, the economic and social development. E-readiness, in the knowledge economy, affects the degree to which a country can absorb external know-how and generate knowledge, both social and entrepreneurial.

The recession and the financial crisis which started in 2009 created a movement that reacted the international economic view. The worldwide economy is currently characterized by an increase in West, a change of power in East, including increasing risks everywhere and customers that are looking for the value. At the same time these decreases rushed the adoption of key technology-mobility, ‚cloud' technology, artificial intelligence and social environment-which turns the economy and give rise to a new wave of obtaining prosperity, especially on the emerging market.
