In this study, the author has purposed electronic collaboration (E-collaboration) through a project manager between different departments in a factory can create a favorable environment to development the projects in terms of time and cost. In fact, the E-collaboration is a tool in hands of project managers. For this concept the author purposes, a conceptual model for sharing knowledge, which support development product. The model uses four factors, namely, design, planning, procurement and production. In addition, these factors consist of several items separately: For design department, there are four categories: (1) standard materials (2) teamwork (3) expected level of production …

The research in this paper seeks ways for manufacturing companies to accomplish projects in real time with less cost. This paper describes a new model using critical success factors of implementing projects in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The factors in the conceptual model were identified in past studies and are validated from interviews with 20 project managers in the electronics industry in Iran. Several prior researches have suggested critical success factors for reducing time and cost in the development of a new product. These factors are related to design, product, planning and procurement. However, none of these studies has …
A Conceptual Model For Creating A Favorable Environment To Reduce The Production Time And Cost Of Production By E_Collaboration, Marjan Mohammadjafari, Shamsuddin Ahmed, Siti Zawiah Md Dawal, Hadi Zayandehroodi

The companies need to the implementation the projects on time within budget for achievement the success and competitive in the market. The prior researcher illustrated many method and model for development time in new product. For this purpose, in this research the author created a new model and allegation the electronic collaboration (E_collaboration) by a project manager can create a favorable environment to reduce the production time and cost of production of new product. This model is composed of four construct: design, planning, procurement and production. For initially evaluated the model the author has done interview with 20 project managers …
Reducing Time And Cost Of New Product Development In Smes By E-Collaboration Through Project Management Approach, Marjan Mohammadjafari, Shamsuddin Ahmed, Siti Zawiah Md Dawal, Hadi Zayandehroodi
Reducing Time And Cost Of New Product Development In Smes By E-Collaboration Through Project Management Approach, Marjan Mohammadjafari, Shamsuddin Ahmed, Siti Zawiah Md Dawal, Hadi Zayandehroodi

One of the most serious bottlenecks in many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is the long time required for new product development. Most SME manufacturing companies have realized that they cannot compete, unless they their shorten product development cycle times. At the same time, the rapid evolution of Web-based technologies and knowledge of project management has revolutionized the product development process. Through the literature review and real world insights, this paper proposes a conceptual model and a series of hypotheses. The model integrates departments of design, planning, production and procurement in the company via project management with electronic collaboration (E-collaboration) …
Toward A Theoretical Concept Of E-Collaboration Through Project Management In Smes For Reducing Time And Cost In New Product: A Review, Marjan Mohammadjafari, Siti Zawiah Md Dawa, Shamsuddin Ahmed, Hadi Zayandehroodi
Toward A Theoretical Concept Of E-Collaboration Through Project Management In Smes For Reducing Time And Cost In New Product: A Review, Marjan Mohammadjafari, Siti Zawiah Md Dawa, Shamsuddin Ahmed, Hadi Zayandehroodi
Dr. Marjan Mohammadjafari
Reducing time and efficient project execution is an objective in many industries and project management is one of the important keys for lead the company to this allegation. The project manager needs some tools for lead the firm to the success. Collaboration is one way to success and collaboration has many types, one kind is electronic collaboration. On the other hand, small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) are a part of manufacturing industries. Combining a literature review with our empirical experience we found that relationship between the project manager and related departments for production is essential for reducing time and …
Automated Fault Location In A Power System With Distributed Generations Using Radial Basis Function Neural Networks, Hadi Zayandehroodi, Azah Mohamed, Hussain Shareef, Marjan Mohammadjafari
Automated Fault Location In A Power System With Distributed Generations Using Radial Basis Function Neural Networks, Hadi Zayandehroodi, Azah Mohamed, Hussain Shareef, Marjan Mohammadjafari
Dr. Marjan Mohammadjafari
High penetration of Distributed Generation (DG) units will have unfavorable impacts on the traditional fault location methods because the distribution system is no longer radial in nature and is not supplied by a single main power source. This study presents an automated fault location method using Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) for a distribution system with DG units. In the proposed method, the fault type is determined first by normalizing the fault currents of the main source. Then to determine the fault location, two RBFNNs have been developed for various fault types. The first RBFNN is used for detraining …
