Burnout syndrome (BS) and obesity have a high economic impact on different fields. This chapter presents a descriptive study of both conditions among middle and senior managers in the maquiladora industry of Ciudad Juarez. The Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey- was administered to six companies. A sample of 361 participants informed their weight and height. Five levels of Burnout were obtained. Obesity was studied according to the World Health Organization criteria. Results found that 29.8% is exempt from BS, 10.5% has low level, 12.9% has a middle level, 28.2% a fairly level and 18.5% an extreme level of BS. In addition, 34% of the sample suffers from some degree of obesity. Work psychosocial aspects and their effects on human capital development in the industrial sector are not sufficiently studied in developing countries so that to develop strategies for the prevention and effective handling of both BS and obesity.

Nowadays, green supplier selection (GSS) is one of the most important activities for companies. Therefore, this research aims to demonstrate the relationship that exists between GSS and the marketing benefits of companies. The chapter proposes a structural equation model that integrates three latent variables. The two independent latent variables concern preproduction green attributes and process green attributes, and they are associated with a dependent latent variable: marketing indexes. Thus, three hypotheses are proposed to relate these latent variables. To validate such hypotheses, a survey is administered to 253 middle and senior managers from the manufacturing industry of Ciudad Juárez. Similarly, a descriptive analysis of the sample and the items is carried out. Results show direct and positive effects among the analyzed variables. However, the highest impact is caused by preproduction green attributes over production process green attributes.

A Factory is a manufacturing industry that produces tea drinks in cups. A Factory is also inseparable from problems related to machine/equipment productivity. Based on the results of observations made at A Factory part of the production line that there is often a sudden stop of the production process. The discontinuation will affect the quality of the product expected and the production targets to be achieved. The problem was discussed in this research is how much the productivity level of the filling production department is, how much the production effectiveness, effective working hours, the number of defective products, and machine downtime criteria. The productivity measurement method used is the Objective Matrix (OMAX) method, so the steps of this study refer to OMAX steps, which is the criteria determination/productivity ratio of the production line, the calculation of the productivity ratio value, the calculation of the initial standard score (score 3), The determination of the goal (score 10) and the lowest score (score 0), the determination of weight, the calculation of value/criteria value, the determination of productivity value for each period, determination of index percentage. With the OMAX method, it can be seen that in period 11 (compared to period 10) there was an increase in productivity, this can be seen because the IP value (Index of Performance) which is positive (+) is 27.79 and there is an increase in the value of the calculation at the time of measurement (current) from 383.36 to 300. This increase was due to an increase in the value of all criteria.

Companies, by use of the flexibility of alternative applications in accounting system, apply profit management by organizing the financial tables unequal to the real situations. Profit management is to interfere external financial reporting process in order to gain special profits. With profit management, the main aim is to affect decisions and plans of the investors and the other financial information usersEarnings management is a kind of management which uses accounting techniques to meet the executives needs for earnings; it is a widely debated topic, hence it is worth looking at. Experts and professionals in this area found many approaches to detect the earnings management; within these approaches are the accrual-based models which include the modified Jones model, which currently is a favourite model to many researchers. In the study is aim to determine the earnings management application the data of 81 companies which were in business in Istanbul stock market (BIST-100) manufacturing industry between the years 2013-2015 is used. In this study regression analysis was made by using Modified Jones model and investigated whether their earnings management application or not , has also targeted to determine the companies applying for earnings management.The distribution of the average of discretionary accruals calculated for years as each company is analyzed; average of discretionary accruals shows a normal distribution, in this situation, It was concluded that there was no impact on the economic development of total accruals, depending on the establisded regression model. It can be expressed that the companies were in tendency to increase revenues for 2014 year and to decrease in revenue for 2013 and 2015 years.  In addition, companies which tend to manipulation in this study were identified. Özetİşletmeler, muhasebe sistemindeki alternatif uygulamaların sağladığı esneklikten yararlanarak, finansal tabloları gerçekte olduğundan farklı gösterecek şekilde düzenlemek suretiyle kazanç yönetimi uygularlar. Kazanç yönetimi, özel kazançlar elde etmeye yönelik dışsal finansal raporlama sürecine bu amaçlara uygun olarak müdahale etmektir. Kazanç yönetimi ile yatırımcıların ve diğer finansal bilgi kullanıcılarının karar ve düşüncelerini etkilemek amaçlanmaktadır.Kazanç yönetimi, yöneticilerin kazanç ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak amacıyla kullandıkları çok tartışılan bu yüzden araştırılmaya değer bir yöntemdir. Bu alanda uzman ve profesyoneller kazanç yönetimini tespit etmek için birçok yaklaşımı bulmuşlardır ki bu yaklaşımlar arasında birçok araştırmacı tarafından favori model kabul edilen tahakkuk esaslı Düzeltilmiş Jones Modelidir.Kazanç yönetimi uygulamalarının belirlenmesini amaçlayan bu çalışmada, BİST 100 endeksindeki 81 şirketin 2013-2015 yılları arasındaki verilerinden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırmada literatürde yer alan Düzeltilmiş Jones Modeli kullanılarak regresyon analizi yapılmış ve bu yöntemle şirketlerin kazanç yönetimi uygulaması yapıp yapmadığı araştırılmış, ayrıca kazanç yönetimi uygulayan şirketlerin belirlenmesine yönelik çalışma hedeflenmiştir. Yıllar itibariyle her bir şirket için hesaplanan ihtiyari tahakkukların ortalamalarının dağılımı incelendiğinde; ihtiyari tahakkukların ortalamalarının normal dağılım gösterdiği, bu durumunda kurulan regresyon modeline bağlı olarak toplam tahakkuklar üzerinde ekonomik gelişmelerin bir etkisinin olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.  Analiz sonucuna göre şirketlerin 2013 ve 2015 yıllarında gelir azaltıcı ve 2014 yılında gelir artırıcı bir manipülasyon eğiliminde oldukları ifade edilebilir. Ayrıca bu çalışmada kazanç yönetimi eğiliminde olan şirketler belirlenmiştir.

PurposeThis paper explores the implications for higher education of the rapid development in technology used by the manufacturing sector. Higher education programmes change or new courses are introduced in attempts to match labour market demands. However, the pace of change in the manufacturing industry challenges the authors to reconceive how programmes and modules can and should be designed and delivered.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on interviews with 26 senior management representatives from manufacturing companies in Ireland. The 26 senior managers and their companies represent the wide diversity of Ireland's manufacturing sector. All the interviews were face to face, complimented by a short questionnaire. Follow-up interviews focussed on the emergent findings were carried out to aid the writing of recommendations for the best practice in programme design and delivery.FindingsWhat emerges from this study is that the manufacturing industry needs skills at three distinct levels. The authors define and classify the skill requirements at entry, competent and expert level. The authors place an emphasis on upskilling as an aid to movement between the three levels. In addition, and significantly, the desired time frame for delivery of these skills and/or upskilling is very short.Originality/valueAccelerated reskilling programmes with faster, shorter bursts of work-based learning (WBL) and experiential training are required. With a growing demand for those at competent and expert level, it is necessary to promote WBL to facilitate the upskilling of those employed in manufacturing roles, particularly in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
