The objective of the paper is to further understand value creation for the after-sales services. We present the case of the creation of a new business for the after-sales services for the entrance into a new market. The new business is created by two gurus in the aerospace industry. A typology of guidelines is derived, based on organizational and strategic perspectives, for the after-sales services value creation and the guidelines for the creation of a new business as well as for the entrance of into a new market are presented.展开更多

China, with over 30 diskette production lines and an annual production of 2 billion diskettes, including some for export, has become the biggest diskette producing country in the world. However, imported diskettes, especially high grade brands, enjoy a good market here. That’s why many world renowned diskette展开更多

In this paper, a network-based collaborative maintenance service model was proposed for after-sales equipment to solve the problem of maintenance resources integration. Concretely, equipment designers, maintainers, spare parts suppliers and maintenance experts were grouped together to establish dynamic alliance. The leader of the alliance is the manufacturer under guaranty period or equipment user exceeding the guaranty period. The process of maintenance service was divided into three stages which are fault diagnosis, maintenance decision and maintenance implementation. The sub-alliances were established to carry out maintenance work at each stage. In addition, the business process of network-based collaborative maintenance was analyzed and collaborative business system for equipment's after-sales collaborative maintenance service was designed. In the end, an informational economics model of network-based collaborative maintenance was established to demonstrate the effectiveness of this maintenance model.展开更多

By the embedded Markov chain theory and the probability generating function method, we set up the mathematics functions and give closed form expressions for obtaining the mean cyclic period (MCP), the mean queue length (MQL) and the mean waiting time (MWT) characteristics, the analytical results are also verified through extensive computer simulations. The performance analysis reveals that this priority polling scheme can gives better efficiency as well as impartiality in terms of system characteristics, and it can be used for differentiating priority service to guarantee better QoS and system stability in design and improvement of MAC protocol.展开更多

The air entrainment of aerators is governed by a number of independent parameters, including the bottom slope of releasing free-surface flow tunnel downstream of service gate, the end top slope of pressure tunnel, the height of step, and the Froude number at take-off. During eight phases of experiments, the effects of above-mentioned parameters were observed on the cavity length downstream of the fully open operating service gate of a discharge tunnel. The results show that, the bottom slope of releasing free-surface flow tunnel has obvious effect on the cavity length as well as the Froude number at gate take-off. The effect of the step height variations on the cavity length could be considered for higher discharges and steeper tunnel top slope, particularly in higher discharges, resulting in shorter cavity length downstream of service gate.展开更多
