Three critical inputs variables (raw materials, staff expenses and plant and machinery) and two output variables (net sale and earnings ...

This study aims to use financial variables, corporate governance variables, and cash flow variables to construct financial information fraud warning models for the manufacturing industry, and applies logistics regression and back propagation neural network (BPNN) to determine the accuracy rate of identifying normal company samples and fraudulent company samples. In a ratio of ‘1:2’, this study ...

Remote manufacturing allows companies to dynamically establish manufacturing alliances by exploiting advantages of enabling information technologies. Product data management and information integration are two of the most important issues for success of remote manufacturing. In this paper, we studied the two issues by taking a case of a remote manufacturing implementation in a robot manufacturi...

A case study on the suitability of an existing system configuration and control policy to the manufacturing strategic objectives has been conducted in a discrete part factory that belongs to a large Swedish manufacturing company. There are two market segments for the products identified as Segment A and Segment B with different priority of competitive factors. A newly formulated manufacturing s...

We develop a generic System Dynamic model to simulate the production, machines, employees, waste, and capital flows of a manufacturing company. In a second step, this model is specialised by defining suitable input data to represent a bicycle manufacturing company in a developing country. We monitor a set of sustainability indicators to understand the social, environmental and economic impact o...
