the classical method of process capability analysis necessarily assumes that collected data are independent; nonetheless, some processes such as biological and chemical processes are autocorrelated and violate the independency assumption. many processes exhibit a certain degree of correlation and can be treated by autoregressive models among which the autoregressive model of order one (ar (1)) ...

• High competition in software industry • Focusing on product quality and process improvement – Adopt CMMI Model – To obtain CMMI certified is not easy and it is costly • Gap analysis is an important step for an organization to perform CMMI Maturity level assessment Ph.D. 4 ICSP2008 • Problems found in Gap analysis process [6]: – time-consuming – many document reviews – meetings and interviews ...

The process capability analysis is a crucial activity to evaluate if the process outcome meets the design specifications. Classically, such analysis is performed by verifying the in-control condition of the process and evaluating suitable capability indices, by assuming the process in-control steady-state condition. However, the in-control period of the process characterizes only a part of the ...

SPI and in particular CMMI is being widely use by several organizations to improve their product quality. However, the SMEs are reluctant in adopting it and in particular maturity level 2 of CMMI, because they think that achieving this level is too expensive and do not see a clear benefit on it. Our solution to captivate the interest of SMEs in CMMI is the anticipation of some process areas of ...

Maturity models in the domain of IOS have been developed and used for organizational design and analysis. Nevertheless, they typically provide a heterogeneous and inconsistent picture of relevant problem spaces (e.g. Supply Chain Management, interoperability problems, etc.). This effect is aggravated by the lack of a thorough model or method for self-appraisal with respect to an organization’s ...

We propose and conceptualize a new measure of information technology-enabled manufacturing capability, based on a plant’s ability to use its mix of inputs to maximize its process outputs, and study the impact of these capabilities on manufacturing plant profitability. Our study extends the literature on IT-enablement of process capabilities using Data Envelopment Analysis, a non-parametric appr...

process capability indices show the ability of a process to produce products according to the pre-specified requirements. since final quality characteristics of a product are usually interrelated to its previous amounts in earlier workstations, one need to model and consider the relationship among them to assess the process ca-pability properly. hence, conducting process capability analysis in ...

This essay combines the factor analysis with the characteristics of high-tech industries, and makes comparison among China's 5 major categories of high-tech industrial innovation capacity. High-tech industrial innovation capability assessment model is built to evaluate the current development of China’s high-tech industry innovation capability, analyze the innovation capacity of each high-tech ...
