Sustainable growth with the help of Quality Scheduling Index
The paper presents a new way for small and middle size companies to sustain their growth using the Quality Scheduling Index. The aim of the paper is to provide the managers from not only the private sector, i.e. manufacturing companies, a tool which can help them improve Just-In-Time delivery of the products to the market, reduce manufacturing costs related with time usage for manufacturing the products on parallel production lines and also increase the quality according to the ISO norms as well as according to each and every customer requirements. In this way the Pull principle is applied and the company will produce and deliver the right products, at the right time and according to the customer’s specifications. The Quality Scheduling Index is presented and partial results of its implementation are shown from a managerial as well as juridical point of view. The goal is to extend Total Quality Management in areas little explored, working in Just-In-Time mode, by eliminating the temporal variations from the contractual delivery terms regarding time. Among other things, the new management tool, Quality Scheduling Index, is able to capture the desired degree of temporal variations and the associated costs. Its implementation methodology goes to business practice, eliminating the company’s risk of failure from the enterprise supply chain
A COMPARISON AND INTEGRATION BETWEEN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SECTOR THROUGH SUSTAINABLE ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE ROMANIAN RURAL AREAS USING BEE ALGORITHM
The article is focused on presenting a comparison of the public sector with public administration policies and private sector with economical strategies with the purpose of better integration between the two with case study on the European funds in beekeeping and how by studying the bee behavior we too can develop our society to achieve better results. The scope of the article is to show an overview of the European policies into state members with focus on sustainable economic development of Romanian rural areas. This is part of the authors’ research from the last 10 years with focus on public, economic and social development and represent initial results of their yet not published work
An off-line dual maximum resource bin packing model for solving the maintenance problem in the aviation industry
In the aviation industry, propeller motor engines have a lifecycle of several thousand hours of flight and the maintenance is an important part of their lifecycle. The present article considers a multi-resource, priority-based case scheduling problem, which is applied in a Romanian manufacturing company, that repairs and maintains helicopter and airplane engines at a certain quality level imposed by the aviation standards. Given a reduced budget constraint, the management’s goal is to maximize the utilization of their resources (financial, material, space, workers), by maintaining a prior known priority rule. An Off-Line Dual Maximum Resource Bin Packing model, based on a Mixed Integer Programming model is thus presented. The obtained results show an increase with approx. 25% of the Just in Time shipping of the engines to the customers and approx. 12,5% increase in the utilization of the working area

QUALITY SCHEDULING INDEX WITHIN PRODUCT’S LIFECYCLE AND THE MONDERN SOCIETY
The purpose of this article is to provide a starting point for application of Quality Scheduling Index within the
production process with an emphasis on the product lifecycle and a comparison with our society where due to demand there
is an offer which should be in time, at the required level of quality and at the corresponding place of selling. The scope of the
article is the expansion of the application of newly developed Quality Scheduling Index within several other branches of
industry and an initial evaluation of its implementation. The article presents outputs of the author’s yet not published research
and work in the filed of management and economics of the industrial enterprise and wants to become a starting point of the
implementation of Quality Schedulin Index in enterprises which want to innovate their production process and reduce costs
and dead time of the products / services within their lifecycle
A NEW MANAGERIAL TOOL FOR SCENARIOS IN SCHEDULING
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a newly developed managerial tool, Quality Scheduling
Index (QSI), which can be used at the improvement of quality and time consumption within not only
manufacturing companies. The authors present this tool as a result of the actual market conditions of finding a
way for managing and controlling the usage of time, quality of work and the costs associated with these two
factors. The paper is focused on the area of Management of Production and Operations with the main goal of
developing the area of scheduling research and main purpose of increasing the productivity of a manufacturing
enterprise by using at maximum the available resources, without any additional costs or investments. A survey
is realized regarding the market requirements and partial empirical results of the authors’ researches are
presented, with conclusions being drawn for future studies. A scenario mainframe is also developed and a
relation between QSI and scenarios is presented. The paper represents partial results of the grant projects
