...Asep Ridwan; Bernd Noche Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design a model of the port performance metrics for improving the quality in ports by integration of six sigma and system dynamics (SD) approach. Design/methodology/approach The port performance is measured by the sigma value (SV...

... factors of R&D project. This paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach This research proposes an integrated analytic network process (ANP) and reusable system dynamics (SD) model for a quick and strategically consistent decision making. The technological and economic factors...

... as well as on the quality costs in real time. Design/methodology/approach System dynamics (SD) is used as the modelling tool due to its dynamic characteristic and its advantages; such as the possibility of integrating qualitative factors and defining learning loops. In order to enhance the performance...

...Yahia Zare Mehrjerdi Purpose The purpose of this article is to present a system dynamic model for studying the interconnections between human weight and health problems which cause various problems throughout life. Design/methodology/approach The paper reviews key points about system thinking...

... into how different “patterns” of requirement volatility influence project quality; and which intervention strategies could be effective under the circumstances. This paper aims to address this issue. Design/methodology/approach The “system dynamics” approach has been used for carrying out the research...
