Planning Human Resources Management, Development and Training of Staff, and Their Impact on Organizational Performance, in the Iraq Oil Companies Sector

This paper aims to study the planning, training and development of human resources and its impact on the organizational performance of the Iraqi oil companies. Factors affecting HR planning, training and development were examined. The study population, composed of staff from the Human Resources Department of the Ministry of Oil, included 100 people surveyed. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher developed and distributed a survey and data collection and analysis using EXCEL. The overall analysis was carried out based on meta-statistics and correlation analysis. The results showed that human resource management, training and development planning are closely related to organizational performance in the Ministry of Oil. Paper presented recommendations for improving human resources in the Iraq Ministry of Oil

Network Business Environment for Open Innovation in SMEs

The SMEs represent an important factor of growth in both developed and developing countries, into which, however, they face different obstacles in the process of innovation. This paper analyses how open communication and collaboration can help SMEs in their struggle for sustainable innovation and profitable market competition. Based on a literature review, a number of obstacles that SMEs have to overcome in their current activity and possible support to be competitive are revealed. The main benefits and particularities of implementing open innovation in SMEs are presented. The necessity of a supportive business environment for SMEs is demonstrated. An outline of an improved model for SMEs is presented. Introductio

Considerations regarding the risk of using counterfeit products in the aerospace industry

This paper aims to increase the level of awareness regarding the risk of using counterfeit parts in the aerospace industry. Manufacturing and selling counterfeit parts is a challenge that almost every business faces and that has an impact on retailers, distributors, and producers. Contrary to other businesses, counterfeiting could be fatal in the aerospace, defense, and automotive sectors. The risk of receiving counterfeit parts or assemblies with counterfeit parts will vary depending on the organization’s role and position within the supply chain. The risk increases with the number of supply chain intermediaries (such as sub-tiers, distributors, customers, services, etc.) that incorporate parts into products or assemblies

Contractual Requirements Review and Management

This article presents contractual requirements review as an element of a Quality Management System (SR EN 9100:2018 [1]), which requires the organization to conduct requirements reviews at various stages of the product realization lifecycle. Proper conduct of a review and management of requirements will enhance overall supply chain performance with regards to On-Time-On-Quality Delivery (OTOQD)

Computer aided parametric design of hydraulic gear pumps

This paper addresses methodological and applied issues to design spur gear pumps. Based on the requirements raised by a Romanian production partner, the overall objective of this research is to identify several design alternatives and to propose improved construction solutions, which are strongly backed by mathematical validation and finite element simulation. The parametric design is simulated usingfinite element method to prove the concept for a wider range of flow rates. Using tools like CATIA and Visual Basic programming language, the proposed strategy presents the results summarizing the values ofmaximum stress, deformation and the percentage calculation error for each constructive solution
