Enterprise Engineering Method supporting Six Sigma Approach
(2007-01-22)
Enterprise Modeling (EM) is currently in operation either as a technique to represent and understand the structure and behavior of the enterprise, or as a technique to analyze business processes, and in many cases as support technique for business process reengineering. However, EM architectures and methodes for Enterprise Engineering can also used to support new management techniques like SIX SIGMA, because these new techniques need a clear, transparent and integrated definition and description of the business ...

Value Added by Quality Management
(2009-06)
Abstract: Quality Management is an essential part of successful organisations. But the effect of it is mostly not directly visible. The effects are more indirect, and have a time lag till results appear. In today’s challenging times, all activities of an organisation have to proof their ability to add value. While Value Based Management is more focussed on financial value, other concepts and models like EFQM Excellence Model and Kaplan and Norton’s Balanced Score Card also point on values that are the basis and driver ...

Analysis of the Market Potential of Syrian Organic Fruit and Vegetables for Exports to Germany
(2016-10-19)
Syria has been a major producer and exporter of fresh fruit and vegetables (FFV) in the Arabic region. Prior to 2011, Syrian FFV were mainly exported to the neighbouring countries, the Gulf States and Northern Africa as well as to Eastern European countries. Although the EU is potentially one of the most profitable markets of high quality FFV (such as organic ones) in the world, Syrian exports of FFV to Western European countries like Germany have been small. It could be a lucrative opportunity for Syrian growers and ...

Factors influencing the purchase behaviour of consumers for organic wine: An analysis of household panel data
(2018-07-19)
Consumer studies based on surveys and purchase experiments show positive attitudes towards organic wine in large consumer segments. However, the market share of organic wine is still small. Apparently, there is a gap between consumer attitudes and real purchase behaviour but no study so far analysed this attitude-behaviour relation in a real market context. Therefore, the present dissertation is based on real market data – household panel data of the GfK (Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung).
The study revealed low ...

Managing Risk, Performance and Sustainability in Textile & Apparel Supply Chains
(2023)
The thesis at hand analyzes sustainability prerequisites, practices, risk and performance in textile and apparel (T&A) supply chains (SCs). Given the growing awareness of sustainability risks by various stakeholders, T&A firms are required to implement and adapt sustainability practices along their SCs, while at the same time measuring their performance to counteract the (re)emergence of risks. Appropriate management strategies are therefore needed to ensure sustainable transformation in T&A SCs. While the state of ...

Searching for a substitute: Algeria and Venezuela as energy security alternatives for Europe?
(2024-01-26)
• Venezuela und Algerien sind für die Europäische Union potenzielle, zukünftige Energiepartner.
• Die EU steht vor einer doppelten Herausforderung: Sie muss kurzfristige Alternativen für Gaslieferungen finden und sich langfristig einem green deal verpflichten. Dies erfordert einen grundlegenden Wandel der Zusammenarbeit zwischen EU mit ihren Energielieferländern.
• Algerien verfügt über großes Potenzial erneuerbarer Energien, es mangelt ihnen jedoch an Technologie und Kapital. Eine EU-Algerien-Energiepartnerschäft ...
