Effectiveness of enterprise resource planning systems (case study: Shirin Asal Company)
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=128686
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software systems consist of a broad variety of software modules which support the business operations of organisation and decision-making process. This research is aimed at investigating the implementation of ERP systems and its effectiveness in Shirin Asal Company of Tabriz. The considered effectiveness criteria in this study comprise customer-orientation, sharing information, notification way and cooperation of units. The research population consists of the employees of Shirin Asal Co. including 134 peoples. The present research is an applied one of field descriptive-survey studies type. The method of testing the hypothesis is correlation and regression test. The results of analysing the research data suggest that employing enterprise resource planning systems in Shirin Asal assists information sharing. Also, using ERP systems will influence the cooperation between the units, enhance customer-orientation, and develop the way of notification.

New developments in round robin algorithms and their applications: a systematic mapping study
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=128704
Enterprises have a set of applications support that needs to work synchronously and efficiently to respond quickly to business processes. To achieve high performance in the execution of the applications, software engineers suitably must use task scheduling on the computational resources. The round robin algorithm is an efficient and effective scheduling technique for task scheduling in computing. This article provides a systematic mapping study that identifies the state-of-the-art in the research of the round robin algorithms to guide researchers and practitioners in the field of software engineering. The research regarding the improvement in the round robin algorithm continues active, indicating that it remains one of the more efficient scheduling techniques in the fields of packets, CPU and virtual machine scheduling.

Productivity improvement using value stream mapping and simulation - case studies
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=128717
Companies are implementing lean manufacturing tools to keep their competitiveness over their competitors by improving the manufacturing system's productivity enhancement of the product. The present study has been carried out in two manufacturing industries to justify lean thinking using value stream mapping and simulation of manufacturing system processes. The study explains the necessary steps from initially identifying the product among list of products for VSM analysis to carry out value stream of the product. Current state map has been prepared with the help of brainstorming to find potential shortcomings in the entire mapped process. Future state map has been prepared to overcome current map's shortcoming; further simulation was done to analyse the effect of the change in the production line. The results are validated by using advanced quantitative tools to justify the overall improvements. Results indicated that significant reduction of lead time by 23.6% and reduction in value added time by 9% which further improves the productivity by 4.2%. Further results of fuzzy AHP indicated 22.5% contribution of VSM and simulation in overall improvement.

Perceived customer behaviour and subjective norms as a driver of payment compliance and bank performance
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=128720
The purpose of this research is to explain how to control customer behaviour and subjective norms in order to encourage payment compliance and improve bank performance. The path analysis method was used in this study to examine the performance of bank X in terms of mortgages. Purposive sampling was used to collect primary data from questionnaires filled out by bank X customers. The average score method is used for measurement. According to the findings, perceived customer behaviour, subjective norms, and payment compliance variables explain 83.42% of bank X's performance in managing customer mortgages, while variables outside the model explain the remaining 16.58%.

A novel comprehensive extension to BPMN language for security-aware two-tier security model and architecture of cloud applications
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=128744
Enterprises have always given great importance to business process management to be competitive and profitable. With the advent of cloud computing, other opportunities are given to these enterprises to execute their business processes with minimal cost in a very short time. Business processes (BPs) are modelled using specific languages. BPMN is the most popular of these languages. However, its current version does not support process modelling for eventual execution in the cloud. Resource management, risk management, deployment, and security are key concepts in cloud computing that a modelling language must support. This paper presents an extension of the BPMN language for modelling business processes in the cloud, integrating the concept of security to secure cloud execution. The use of our new proposed architecture and models for secure BPs is illustrated by a real-life example that demonstrates how our extension is used to define/enforce actual security requirements.

Understanding the effect of strategic business analytics on strategies for achieving competitive advantage: qualitative research on mobility and transportation sector
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=128745
Strategic business analytics or SBA emerged as an effective tool to explore business organisations and their respective operational settings to articulate strategic decisions for achieving competitive advantage. This study based on the grounded theory model has been conducted to understand the effect of SBA for achieving competitive advantage for organisations working in the areas of mobility and transportation sector. In this study, prospector, analyser, defender as well as reactor business strategies have been identified and tested. Based on the response from 56 experts, it has been observed that the uses of the SBA revolve around organisation, process, technology, cognition and strategic trade-offs. Consequently, SBA influences business strategy by providing insights on the requirement and performance analysis, business processes for collaboration and business transformation, logistics management, etc. which accordingly articulate strategies for achieving competitive advantage. Thus, SBA should be invoked as a leading tool for achieving and sustaining competitive advantage.
