Aplikasi konsep "Just–in–Time" (JIT) telah mencapai kejayaan yang ketara dalam persekitaran pembuatan. Kertas kerja ini memberi penjelasan yang terperinci terhadap konsep JIT serta menerangkan prasyarat dalam pelaksanaannya di sektor awam atau swasta. Walaupun kekuatan konsep ini tidak dipertikaikan, tetapi terdapat kajian menunjukkan bahawa ia tidak sesuai digunapakai untuk perolehan kerajaan secara menyeluruh. Namun demikian, nilai–nilai konsep JIT dalam konteks pengurusan pembekalan boleh dan patut diterokai. Just–in–Time (JIT) concept has been applied with considerable success in manufacturing environment. This paper provides insights of JIT concept and the pre–requisites for successful application of JIT in either private or public sectors. Although JIT concept has many advantages, a current study suggested that its application couldn´t be applied in total to Govenment purchasing environment. Nevertheless, the essence of JIT concept in the context of supply management can and should be exploited.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and develop the structural relationship among the key drivers to control and enhance the supply management (SM) performance in Indian manufacturing environment. Design/methodology/approach – The drivers (i.e. sourcing alternatives and supplier selection, supplier development (SD), contract management (CM) and risk management (RM)) of SM were identified and SM integration model was proposed through literature review and in consultation with industry experts. The proposed model was validated by capturing experts’ view in Indian manufacturing environment. The strength of relationships between these drivers and on SM performance was also established using structural equation modeling. Findings – CM has positive direct effect on SM performance and two drivers (i.e. sourcing alternatives and supplier selection, and SD) have positive indirect effect mediated by CM. Whereas, RM has direct and indirect (mediated by CM) positive effect on SM performance in Indian manufacturing environment. Research limitations/implications – This model can be validated for manufacturing industries in other countries. Practical implications – This model provides a comprehensive relationship among four drivers of SM and shows the direction for designing and implementing appropriate policies in order to enhance the SM performance in Indian manufacturing environment. Originality/value – Although many issues related to SM have been widely researched, but no literature has been reported related to SM integration model consisting of its drivers in general and in Indian manufacturing environment in specific. The key drivers of SM were identified and their relative importance was analyzed in Indian manufacturing environment.

Microscope Objective Lens

The optic axis of an electron microscope objective lens is usually assumed to be straight and co-linear with the mechanical center. No reason exists to assume such perfection and, indeed, simple reasoning suggests that it is a complicated curve. A current centered objective lens with a non-linear optic axis when used in conjunction with other lenses, leads to serious image errors if the nature of the specimen is such as to produce intense inelastic scattering.

Palladium single-crystal films have been prepared by Matthews in ultra-high vacuum by evaporation onto (001) NaCl substrates cleaved in-situ, and maintained at ∼ 350° C. Murr has also produced large-grained and single-crystal Pd films by high-rate evaporation onto (001) NaCl air-cleaved substrates at 350°C. In the present work, very large (∼ 3cm2), continuous single-crystal films of Pd have been prepared by flash evaporation onto air-cleaved (001) NaCl substrates at temperatures at or below 250°C. Evaporation rates estimated to be ≧ 2000 Å/sec, were obtained by effectively short-circuiting 1 mil tungsten evaporation boats in a self-regulating system which maintained an optimum load current of approximately 90 amperes; corresponding to a current density through the boat of ∼ 4 × 104 amperes/cm2.
