...IFE Matrix (Internal Factor Evaluation) IFE Matrix (Internal Factor Evaluation) Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) matrix is a strategic management tool for auditing or evaluating major strengths and weaknesses in functional areas of a business. IFE matrix also provides a basis for identifying and evaluating relationships among those areas. The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix or short IFE matrix is used in strategy formulation. The IFE Matrix together with the EFE matrix is a strategy-formulation tool that can be utilized to evaluate how a company is performing in regards to identified internal strengths and weaknesses of a company. The IFE matrix method conceptually relates to the Balanced Scorecard method in some aspects. How can I create the IFE matrix? The IFE matrix can be created using the following five steps: Key internal factors... Conduct internal audit and identify both strengths and weaknesses in all your business areas. It is suggested you identify 10 to 20 internal factors, but the more you can provide for the IFE matrix, the better. The number of factors has no effect on the range of total weighted scores (discussed below) because the weights always sum to 1.0, but it helps to diminish estimate errors resulting from subjective ratings. First, list strengths and then weaknesses. It is wise to be as specific and objective as possible. You can for example use percentages, ratios, and comparative numbers. Weights... Having identified strengths and weaknesses...

...Axial Flux Mapping using traveling in-core probe in pulstar fuel assemblies. DATE PERFORMED: jan 27 DUE DATE: Feb 10 NAME: Jasem Alahmed PARTNERS: INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Anistratov TEACHING ASSISTANT: Pedram Ghassemi ABSTRACT Traveling in-core probes are used to calculate the axial flux of fuel assemblies in the Pulstar reactor. The neutron flux is measured as a function of height and distance traveled in the core. This report starts by stating the theory , hypothesis then calculate the results and perform analysis. it then will list the equipment used and the procedure followed when performing the experiment. the following section list the findings and graphs explaining how the results relate. the next section discusses the results and answer some questions. Finally the conclusion and references. INTRODUCTION AND THEORY Regular checks are performed to insure the safety of the reactor. Among these methods is in-core flux mapping. in-core flux mapping is done to verify calculations of core performance, making sure safety margins are being met. Such as linear power density and peak to average power ratios. Furthermore, is can assist in finding problems within the reactor such as power oscillations, and local hot spots to be rectified. Determining the neutron flux in a reactor can help determine parameters (power density) and help estimate fuel use. Increases overall efficiency of the reactor and its performance. The objective of this lab is to support...

...“Jaeezra Airways”, Case Analysis Structure Executive Summary The airlines industries made a significant impact on the economy after 1970 and were interconnected to other industries. It is a huge capital financed mostly by loans, with high cost that requires development, design and management. The demand for aviation service is increasing strongly in the Middle East, particularly in GCC countries due to oil production, high income, expatriate population and business diversified opportunities beside other factors. To meet the increasing demand for travel, new airlines were established for this purpose such as Wataniya, Jazeera, Air Arabia, and flydubai . The operating performance of the new airlines was affected by political instability in the region which reduced tourism and raised the oil price; in general it affected the airline performance. Fuel is the main key of the airline’s operating expenses, when fuel prices increase it will affect the airlines’ profitability and financial flexibility. Recently, the fuel prices have reached over USD100 per barrel which affected airlines profits. During the economic crisis, the airlines lowered the flight prices in order to attract passengers which lowered their profitability. Despite the financial crises, airline companies follow certain plans and procedures to recover, depending on the limited means of transportation in GCC region and the continuous travel demand from expat to their origin There are 39 airlines operating in GCC(table...

...Seetharaman, Ismail, and Saravanan (2007) conducted a survey to identify some current issues in the environmental management system (EMS). Then, Seetharaman et al. built an environmental accounting (EA) research model in manufacturing industry to determine and establish the monitoring and measurement in the environmental accounting system. In their first study, the findings of survey showed that there existed three main issues in the EMS, namely: - Lack of environmental awareness: 68% of companies underestimated their business impact to the environment. - Lack of perceived benefit: only 50% of companies believed that investment in environmental initiative would offer them some benefits. - Lack of government pressure In their second study, the EA research model provided the four main environmental parameters--air emission, water, land and noise pollutions, which can help to monitor and evaluate organization’s commitment to environmentally sustainable forms of business activity. Overall speaking, this journal article clarify that through reduction in cost, compliance with environmental legislation, and improving corporate image, etc., organization can developed sustainability via using environmental management system, and environmental accounting can underpin the system as it can track environmental performance of organizations’ in more measurable manner. However, there exist some limitations in the research report. Firstly, the journal article was released in Malaysia. The...
