This paper examines the relationship between organization size, product life-cycle stage, market position, balanced scorecard (BSC) usage and organizational performance. Using financial and nonfinancial measures, the BSC appraises four dimensions of performance: customers, financial (or shareholders), learning and growth, and internal aspects. Based on a survey of 66 Australian manufacturing companies, the paper suggests that larger firms make more use of a BSC. In addition, firms that have a higher proportion of new products have a greater tendency to make use of measures related to new products. A firm's market position has not been found to be associated significantly with greater BSC usage. The paper also suggests that greater BSC usage is associated with improved performance, but this relationship does not depend significantly on organization size, product life cycle, or market position.

Improved performance of apple chip SMEs in Malang Raya is strongly influenced by groups based on the product life cycle classification. The purpose of this study was to classify apple chip SMEs based on the results of the classification at the product life cycle stage, determine the prediction of apple chip sales and improve the performance of apple chip SMEs in Malang Raya. The research location was in Malang Raya area which consists of Malang Regency, Malang City, and Batu City. Data collection was obtained from thirty-one respondents who were the owners of apple chips SMEs in Malang Raya. Data analysis for cluster classification used the product life cycle stage and performance improvement using artificial neural networks for prediction of sales production and determination of dominant variables based on Cronbach's alpha and dominant indicators based on corrected item-total correlations. The results showed that stage 1 was 2 SMEs, stage 2 was 16 SMEs, stage 3 was 11 SMEs and stage 2 was SMEs. Improving the performance of apple chip SMEs in Malang Raya through sales predictions in 2019-2023 is more focused on improving innovation through the ability to see the development of consumer tastes and follow the development of technology related to product processing and marketing.

Tolerance information plays a critical role in many steps of the product life cycle. It is especially important due to the advances in Internet technologies and increasing integration requirements from industry. In this paper, geometric tolerances information in manufacturing process (IMP) is studied, and the layered conformance level of geometric tolerances is established according to ASME Y14.5-1994, STEP and DMIS. An EXPRESS-G data model of geometric tolerance information in IMP is established. The XML language is used to represent and program the geometric tolerances information in IMP.
