Measuring the efficiency of outsourcing: An illustrative case study from the aerospace industry
(2007-12-01)
Outsourcing is related to the action which an organization deals with its suppliers through a kind of business contract where a specific activity or service has been hired to be made. The outsourcing of some activities has ...
Rod length influence in torque measurement of SPT-T test
(2007-09-18)
Since Ranzini suggested supplementing the SPT test with measurement of the torque required to turn the split spoon sampler after driving, many Brazilian engineers have been using this in the design of pile foundations. ...
Project management performance system: a brazilian case study
(European Operations Management AssociationGlasgow, UK, 2006-06-18)
A Project performance is usually based on the capacity of a project team’s meeting cost, time and quality-related criteria. However, a multi-dimensional set of performance measurement including other perspectives have been ...

Thermal characterization of an ultrasonic measurement cell
(2005-12-01)
Temperature plays an important role in any sensor device, because it can affect sensor properties, limiting its accuracy and operation range. At constant temperature, ultrasonic density sensors can reach accuracies of 0.1%. ...
Location of single line-to-ground faults on distribution feeders using voltage measurements
(2006-12-01)
This paper proposes a dedicated algorithm for lation of single line-to-ground faults in distribution systems. The proposed algorithm uses voltage and current phasors measured at the substation level, voltage magnitudes ...
Proposal of a performance management model for industrial clusters: Theoretical model and a case study
(2010-01-01)
In this article we propose a theoretical management model to assist governance agencies of industrial clusters in the management of collaborative initiatives as well as its own operations. The model focuses on the planning ...
Numerical correction for the diffuse solar irradiance by the melo-escobedo shadowring measuring method
(2011-12-01)
The present paper deals with numerical corrections factors proposed as a function of the clearness index in order to correct the diffuse solar irradiance measured with the Melo-Escobedo Shadowring Measuring Method (ME ...
Bose-Einstein correlations in various collision systems and energies measured with the CMS experiment
(2015-01-01)
Two-particle, quantum-statistical (Bose-Einstein) correlations are measured with the CMS experiment in pp collisions at 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV center-of-mass energies, as well as in pPb and peripheral PbPb collisions, ...
Density estimation for measurement purposes and convergence improvement using MCMC
(IEEE, 2003-05)
The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach for measurement uncertainty characterization. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is applied to measurement pdf estimation, which is considered as an inverse problem. ...
