Title: The Application of Quality Function Deployment to Smart Watches – The House of Quality for Improved Product Design Authors: Ho, W C; Lee, A W; Lee, S J; Lin, Grace TR Abstract: Consumers are confused about the benefits of using smart watches due to the various insignificant functionalities included and the unclear value propositions promoted by smart watch manufacturers. In order to improve the quality of products and to provide features that can satisfy consumers’ needs, technicians must understand the expectations of consumers. This paper recommends the use of quality function deployment (QFD), a method that integrates consumers’ dynamic requirements with product designs, which can be represented using a House of Quality (HoQ) matrix diagram. Here, the unmet and uncovered needs of consumers relating to the smart watch are analyzed extensively using a questionnaire-based survey. The opinions of consumers and technicians are then examined, and a HoQ diagram is constructed to evaluate the relationship between the design attributes of smart watch and its technical attributes. Finally, the attributes that need to be improved are listed in a suggested order of priority. Page(s): 149-152

Title: Research on the Production Efficiency of China Civilian Military Listed Companies Authors: He, Weida; Fu, Yao; Hao, Rong Abstract: Civilian military enterprises are the driving force to promote the integration of military and civilian. DEA is used to study the product efficiency of China civilian military listed companies during the period of 2005-2014. The result shows that: the comprehensive product efficiency of civilian military listed companies in China is at a low level which is mainly caused by pure technology efficiency; the differences of the product efficiency between companies are becoming larger, and this differences are more obvious between companies of different types.

Title: Programming of an Industrial Robot Using Demonstrations and Soft Computing Techniques Authors: Khandekar, P M; Chiddarwar, S S; Jha, A Abstract: In this work, trajectory planners are developed to program an industrial robot using human demonstrations aided by artificial neural network and human hand synergy approach. These planners are developed to acquire trajectory from human demonstrator and convert it to robot trajectory. The planner based on artificial neural network utilizes kinematic model of human and robot hand for mapping whereas human hand synergy approach is used by second planner for mapping. The proposed approach is implemented to an industrial robot in a designed scenario. The performance of both the planners is compared using an established metric. Experimentations and analysis of results revealed that both the approaches generalize well in the tested scenarios. Moreover, the planner adopting using human hand synergy for mapping shows better performance than kinematics based planner. Page(s): 156-163

Title: Modeling the Effects of Innovative Leadership on Productivity and Profitability Authors: Yan, B Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effects of innovative leadership on organisational productivity and profitability. A deterministic mathematical model using Runge-Kutta integration was utilised to analyse the effect of innovative leadership. A numerical simulation of the model differential equations disclosed how innovation leadership enables a company to change and adapt to its external environment and by implication enhance its performance. The study revealed that without innovative leadership, the production efforts remain stagnant with low productivity and profitability. Due to a change in the production efforts introduced by innovative leadership, an increase in the level of productivity and profitability is observed. The findings further emphasise that productivity increases with time under the innovative leadership. The proposed mathematical model can be broadly used to analyse the effect of innovative leadership on profitability and productivity within different organisations. Page(s): 164-167
