When changes in requirements occur, their associated tests must be adapted accordingly in order to maintain the quality of the evolving system. In practice, inconsistencies in requirements and acceptance tests—together with poor communication of changes— lead to software quality problems, unintended costs and project delays. We are developing GuideGen, a tool that helps requirements engineers, ...

E-training is considered nowadays as a very important issue for business organization because of the benefits it can bring. Unfortunately, e-training is not fit well in most of Jordanian organization. In order to implement etraining successfully in an organization, you need the right people at the right place using the right resources. Furthermore, it is essential to measure the organization’s ...

POMS 22 nd Annual Conference Reno, Nevada, U.S.A. April 29 to May 2, 2011 Abstract: MTS-MTO system is suitable where standard modules are shared by various finished products through divergent finalization. The system can satisfy product variety by taking advantage of flexibility of MTO, but its performance is lowered when the capacity is constrained. One way of dealing with the problem without ...

In recent decades, many studies have been done on scheduling problems and one of its issues is “order acceptance and scheduling” that deals with simultaneous decision on the rejection or acceptance of orders, and sequencing them. This causes more coordination between production and sales department. In many cases, customers tend to take all their orders to one company. They are not willing to t...

Capacity coordination, as the tactical level of hierarchical production planning in hybrid MTS/MTO systems, includes numerous important decisions. In this paper, two of these decisions i.e. finding the best strategy for the acceptance/rejection of incoming orders and determining orders’ due dates – are investigated. Also a simulation model is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of the presented...

In this research we examine the generation specific acceptance motives of eHealth technologies in order to assess the likelihood of success for these new technologies. 280 participants (14 92 years of age) volunteered to participate in a survey, in which using motives and barriers toward smart home technologies were explored. The scenario envisaged was the use of a medical stent implemented int...

The aim of this paper is to discuss the significance and potentials of a mixed methods approach in technology acceptance research. After criticizing the dominance of the quantitative survey method in TAM-based research, this paper reports a mixed methods study of user acceptance of emergency alert technology in order to illustrate the benefits of combining qualitative and quantitative technique...
