This paper explores the various dimensions of measuring productivity in health systems in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The authors seek to unearth the difficulties which arise when measuring the productivity in these systems, identifying the various forms of productivity which are applicable to health systems and determining the best means of

CIRP Annals, 1993
One of the most challenging tasks in the engineering profession is to develop new products that have the shortest lead-time, highest quality and lowest cost with optimal life-cycle consideration. The issue of product modeling is at the center of various new product development paradigms designed to meet this challenge, and, therefore, has received ...

MODELLING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
Acta Horticulturae, 1986In modelling in general and biological modelling in particular two approaches may be distinguished: a descriptive and an explanatory approach. In descriptive models the system and its behaviour are described at the same level at which the observations about it are made.

Computer-Aided Design, 1995
Abstract Concurrent engineering has been recognized as a business philosophy and methodology for integrating all aspects of a product lifecycle into the stages of product design. It demands that, as product design decisions are made, they are immediately evaluated in terms of functionality, manufacturability, assemblability, maintainability and ...

Product Modelling for Model-Based Maintenance
CIRP Annals, 1998The paper describes the fundamental concepts of maintenance and the role that information technology can play in the support of maintenance activities. Function-Behaviour-State modelling is used to describe faults and deterioration of mechanisms in terms of user perception and measurable quantities.

Understanding enterprise modelling from product modelling
Production Planning & Control, 2001As enterprise modelling is being applied at large scale, an emerging challenge is related to managing the variety of business process models and enterprise resource models. This trend in enterprise modelling follows a similar trend in product modelling.

Product and Production Process Modeling and Configuration
Fundamenta Informaticae, 2013Product configuration systems are an emerging technology that supports companies in deploying mass customization strategies. Such strategies need to cover the management of the whole customizable product cycle. Adding process modeling and configuration features to a product configurator may improve its ability to assist mass customization development ...

MODELS OF PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION*
Bulletin of Economic Research, 1989Product differentiation is one of the pervasive features of modern economies.1 On entering a department store, say, a customer may choose between a variety of detergents, of dinner plates and of dishwashers. In each case, there is a set of products which may be considered to supply broadly the same needs, for example laundering clothes, but which are ...

Product Modeling: From Geometrical Modeling to Logical Modeling
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1992Abstract The paper investigates the linguistic characteristics of scheme for product modeling and formalizes the scheme with formal language theory. The rationality and effectiveness of the three major types of product modeling: geometrical modeling, feature modeling and logical modeling, are analyzed and compared from the integration of CAD/CAM.
