A sample of Italian manufacturing companies was selected in order to verify the abilities and effects (relationships) of the management factors human resources, leadership and strategic planning on company performance. The Partial Least Squares (PLS) estimation method was used for analyzing the data collected, where the relationships between the management factors and performance were formalized by a Structural Equation Model (SEM). The analysis of the survey data showed unexpected result regarding the non significant direct relationship between Leadership and Performance. The effect of Leadership is obtained by an indirect relationship through Human Resources. The combination of Leadership and Human Resources has hence been identified as the management factors which have the highest impact on the performance of Italian industrial companies. Another interesting and unexpected result was that there was no significant impact of Strategic Planning on Performance. It seems that the leaders of Italian industrial companies have not understood that good strategic planning is a necessary condition for achieving excellence. So another improvement area is in fact Strategic Planning. This area should have the highest priority of any top management team and the focus should include how to establish a strong relationship between strategic planning and performance. No correlation between strategic planning and performance is a strong indication that something is wrong. It is not enough that Leadership is doing Strategic Planning-Leadership is also about studying and follow up on results in order to assure impacts on performance. This link seems to be missing in Italian industrial companies.

This research introduces the Financial Effect Measurement (FEM) models which measures both the improvement and the innovation performance of Quality Control Circle (QCC) and activities of Six Sigma. Concepts and principle of Comprehensive Income Statement (CIS), Balanced Scorecard (BSC), Time-Driven Activity Based-Costing (TDABC) and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) are applied in order to develop the 4 FEM models presented in this paper. First of all, FEM using CIS depicts the improvement effects of production capacity and yield using relationships between demand and supply, and line balancing efficiency between bottleneck process and non-bottleneck processes. Secondly, cause-and-effect relation of Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is used to present Critical Success Factor (CSF) effects for QC Story 15 steps of QCC and DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) of Six Sigma. The next is FEM model for service management innovation activities that uses TDABC to calculate the time-driven effect for improving the indirect activities according to the cost object. Lastly, FEM model for TPM activities presents the interpretation of improvement effect model of TPM Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operating Expenditure (OPEX) maintenance using profit, cash and Economic Added Value (EVA) as metrics of enterprise values. To better understand and further investigate FEMs, recent cases on National Quality Circle Contest are used to evaluate new financial effect measurement developed in this paper.

In modern society, the importance of inter-enterprise collaboration on supply chain is more emphasizing, depending on the industrial structure is going advanced. Therefore, the studies for advancement of inter-enterprise collaboration are taking, and especially the studies about how IT systems affect those advancement are taking. However, there are a shortage of recognition to each IT systems on B2B collaboration, additionally there is not much study of its application. In this study, we analyze the Performance Model relationship between the level and the importance of IT system for B2B collaboration in small and medium-sized enterprise, and draw a priority order for improvement of IT systems for its effective practical use.

The House of Quality(HOQ) is used in the development stage to identify important customer attributes and corresponding engineering characteristics. The importance of each customer attribute obtained in the HOQ affects to the quality of the final product or service. Traditionally, such importance is derived based on the assumption that customer satisfaction is linearly proportional to the product performance. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear function so as to relate the product performance with the customer satisfaction according to the Kano model. A performance goal is obtained by maximizing the total customer satisfaction under a cost constraint and the importance of each customer attribute is developed from the performance goal. Therefore, the proposed approach incorporates the Kano categories and the improvement cost in determining the importance of customer attributes.

An EOQ-like inventory model for a manufacturing process is studied. The system is assumed to deteriorate during the production process. The results are either the production of a number of defective items, or the breakdown of the production machine. The optimal production lot size is derived. The model is extended to the case in which the probabilities of making defective items and machine breakdowns are a function of both the quantity (amount) and quality (performance) of the consumed setup cost (including the preventive maintenance cost). We further assume that the setup performance can be improved by investing in the performance improvement program. Hence, the same or a better setup outcome can be achieved with a lower setup cost. We then investigate the optimal setup cost and investment policy simultaneously, thereby achieving a better process quality and setup cost reduction concurrently.

To improve construction productivity and quality, and to make the construction environment safe, a new system, Robot-based Construction Automation (RCA), is currently being developed in Korea. To determine whether RCA is an improvement over traditional construction methods (TCMs), an evaluation method, called the Performance Evaluation Index (PEI), is suggested for RCA. The PEI considers the relationships among the factors influencing the performance of the system obtained using the Delphi method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). As the evaluation shows, RCA is much better than TCM except for three factors: the rate of work success, quality improvement by learning experience, and construction duration.

In this study, we used 170 copies of the 190 questionnaires from March 18 to April 20, 2018, except for 20 that can't be used as statistical value. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between organizational entrepreneurship and social capital, organizational performance, and the relationship between entrepreneurship and social capital. The main implications of this study are as follows. First, the entrepreneurship of the executives recognized by the organization members has a positive influence on the social capital in the organization. In other words, the higher the entrepreneurship of management, the higher the social capital in the organization. Second, the effect of the entrepreneurship of the management on the organizational performance is shown to have a statistically significant positive effect. In other words, the entrepreneurship of management was a key factor in achieving organizational performance. Third, social capital in the organization has a statistically significant effect on organizational performance. In order to improve organizational performance, it is necessary to systematically improve and reinforce entrepreneurship and social capital in management. On the other hand, it is considered that the executives' entrepreneurial spirit consistent with the characteristics of the company type, management environment, and organizational members should be continuously demonstrated, and the implementation plan for the social capital in the organization should be developed. Therefore, high quality organizational performance for corporate sustainability management emphasized the importance of executive power on the systematic and continuous implementation of management entrepreneurship and the improvement of social capital for strengthening cohesion.

본 연구에서는 AHP 분석의 결과로 도출된 TPM의 스텝활동 중 가장 중요한 활동들과 기업성과와의 관계를 모형으로 구축한다. 그리고 이러한 스텝활동들이 매개변수를 통해 기업성과에 영향을 미치는지를 융합적 관점에서 분석하고자 하였다. 4개의 스텝활동인 현장불합리 및 로스개선, 준비 및 5S 활동 기본조건 체계구축, 초기청소, 설비효율의 로스분석을 독립변수로 선정하고 TPM 활동수준을 매개변수로 하여 종속변수인 기업성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 분석하였다. 분석결과 4개의 스텝활동들은 기업성과에 직접 효과를 나타내고 있지는 않지만, TPM 활동수준이 매개변수로 투입된 경우에는 기업성과에 영향을 미치는 완전매개효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, TPM 활동수준은 매개변수로서의 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 TPM에 참여한 사람들의 설비에 대한 자신감, 자기계발의 의식, 개인 업무에 대한 명확한 관리 등에 대한 인식수준이 높을수록 TPM활동은 성공적으로 기업의 성과에 공헌할 수 있는 것으로 해석할 수 있다.
