“…Regarding the information capture stage, we are looking at the possible relevance of information audit techniques (e.g. see Buchanan and Gibb, 1998) to assist in the process. In addition, during the analysis stage there needs to be a way to assist closure around the potentially large number of solution routes that could be identified.…”

A legacy system is made up of technical components and social factors (such as software, people, skills, business processes) which no longer meet the needs of the business environment. The study of legacy systems has tended to be biased towards a software engineering perspective and to concentrate on technical properties. This paper suggests that the evaluation of potential change options for legacy systems can only be carried out as part of an holistic organisational analysis. That is, the evaluation of legacy systems must take place within a framework that combines business and technical considerations. In particular, we believe that the business strategy must lead this process. Accordingly, we have designed an inter-disciplinary approach which brings together an organisational scenarios tool (based on concepts from the field of organisational development) and a technical scenarios tool (based on concepts from the field of software engineering). These tools are applied in an iterative way, so that technical options are tested out against the business needs. It is, thus, a dynamic tool which seeks to mimic the nature of organisational change, as far as is practicable. The research project described here is entitled software as a business asset (SABA) and was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) under the systems engineering for business process change (SEBPC) programme. This paper describes the research approach and its iterative stages, and illustrates its use within a large engineering firm (Engco). Its application produced useful insights for the organisation, as well as pointers for further modification of our research approac

Resumen Se describe la herramienta auditora para determinar la correcta gestión, conservación y acceso a la información audiovisual en las cadenas de televisión. Dicha auditoría se presenta en formato de herramienta auditora que analiza una serie de parámetros, tales como: condiciones de accesibilidad, estado de conservación, recursos humanos y su formación, recursos económicos a disposición del servicio de gestión documental, análisis de los espacios físicos, descripción y evaluación de software y hardware, condiciones físicas de conservación, descripción documental realizada por el servicio de documentación y la identificación de la existencia de políticas de preservación, tratamiento y conservación de información en las empresas audiovisuales. Todo ello, para determinar los puntos de mejora para una correcta conservación del patrimonio audiovisual de la cadena y del Patrimonio Nacional Audiovisual de un país.

“…This can result in less out of stock inventory thus improving customer loyalty and gaining a larger consumer base. Adopting in a combination of these solutions can result in benefits such as higher transparency, reduced transaction, manufacturing costs, reduced unmonitored corporate spending and more centralised purchasing spend [55]. Furthermore, the supply chain can become more integrated, and the supply chain partners working together can save costs and lead to eventual increased profits.…”

“…Golicic [52] Greater information visibility in the supply chain can lead to disadvantages, such as information overload, as companies have access to more information that they are accustomed to managing, potentially resulting in confusion and additional uncertainty [52]. Buchanan and Gibb [55] outline other disadvantages that are as a result from pursuing in the suggested solutions, such as information overload, organizational misunderstanding of the role of information management, inadequate locator tools and poor coordination of information with decision-making needs.…”

Ontology-based interoperability solutions for textile supply chain

2014

Existence of interoperability within the enterprises is essential for textile supply chain to efficiently face the challenges from contemporary competitors, to find new business opportunities and to render better customer service. Exchange of business documents, being semantically consistent, is the way to achieve interoperability. However, heterogeneity of the structures of the enterprises poses challenges for establishing interoperability. Ontology based semantic interoperability framework has now been proven as an effective solution for enterprise interoperability. In this paper, the existing ontology-based interoperability solutions in the context of textile supply chain have been compiled and research gaps have been identified. The ontological methods, such as unified process for ontology (UPON) and methontology have been analyzed, and UPON have been shown as a suitable ontology development method for textile supply chain.
