Optimal development of production technology when autonomous and induced learning are present
Article Abstract:
A learning-induced control model was created to resolve a dynamic decision problem related to technology development. The model, which is based on the distributed parameter systems approach, was able to identify vital factors that determine comparative analysis structure. It revealed the sensitiveness of optimal dynamics needed to bring external technology inside the production system to the difference between autonomous and induced learning rate.

The first step in planning group technology
Article Abstract:
The implementation of group technology as a way of factory organization is best carried out in conjunction with production flow analysis during the initial stage. Group technology involves the categorization of machine tools, human resources and other production resources. It is a newer organizational technique as compared to process organization, whose implementation is more widespread.

An exploration of the impact of TQM and JIT on ISO 9000 registered companies
Article Abstract:
Business organizations adopting just-in-time (JIT) initiative and total quality management (TQM) implementation tend to have better comprehension of factors affecting quality efforts. JIT and TQM firms are more dedicated to top management commitment and quality training. They also have wider knowledge in relation with communication regarding ISO 9000 implementation.
