Outsourcing is not new in this ever changing world. It refers to the process of subcontracting a process, such as product design or manufacturing, to a third-party company. Today, the IT outsourcing industry has matured. This paper highlights about outsourcing with emphasis on its scope of operation, importance and impact in the business process and industry in general. This paper describes the unique approach in a university-based knowledge product outsourcing. It presents a discussion on the different resources in the operation and management of the university-based knowledge enterprise. The inception stage in the development of the outsourcing model is also described in this paper. The outsourcing process model presented in this paper highlights the following: faculty and staff as the knowledge provider, infrastructure as the outsourcing facility, business sector as the knowledge seeker, University-based as the business process, and product cost and income as the sharing of limited practice of profession. This paper further describes the features in the development of an online knowledge product outsourcing as a platform for an innovative knowledge enterprise.

El presente trabajo de diploma lleva por título “Sistema de Gestión de Bibliotecas”, se desarrolla en la universidad de Cienfuegos y tiene como objetivo diseñar un sistema informático para gestionar la bibliografía en las unidades de las FAR, a partir de la creación de la Empresa de Tecnologías de la Información para la Defensa (XETID), la cual asumió la responsabilidad de informatizar las unidades militares. Esto trajo consigo el compromiso del soporte y mantenimiento de los softwares que están en explotación. Algunas bibliotecas en unidades militares emplean un gestor bibliográfico creado por el Grupo de Diseño del Ejército, que fue sustituido por XETID, y otras realizan sus labores manualmente porque sus características no se adecuan al mismo, por lo que la empresa XETID con el objetivo de nivelar este proceso, darle soporte y mantenimiento, se ha planteado estandarizar la gestión bibliográfica en las unidades de las FAR. Para el diseño de la aplicación informática se utiliza la arquitectura cliente servidor y el patrón Modelo Vista Controlador y para el modelado se emplea la herramienta Visual Paradigm for UML 8.0. Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) como lenguaje de modelado para el negocio y Lenguaje Unificado de Modelado (UML) para el diseño. Al mismo tiempo se utiliza Prodesoft como metodología de desarrollo de software. Palabras clave: Diseño, soporte, mantenimiento.   ABSTRACT   This diploma work is entitled "Library Management System", it is developed at the University of Cienfuegos and aims to design a computer system to manage the bibliography in the units of the FAR, from the creation of the Company of Information Technologies for Defense (XETID), which assumed responsibility for computerizing military units. This brought with it the commitment to support and maintain the software that is in operation. Some libraries in military units use a bibliographic manager created by the Army Design Group, which was replaced by XETID, and others carry out their tasks manually because its characteristics are not adapted to it, so the XETID company with the objective of leveling This process, providing support and maintenance, has been proposed to standardize the bibliographic management in the units of the FAR. For the design of the computer application, the client server architecture and the Model View Controller pattern are used, and the Visual Paradigm for UML 8.0 tool is used for modeling. Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) as a modeling language for business and Unified Modeling Language (UML) for design. At the same time, Prodesoft is used as a software development methodology. Keywords: Design, support, maintenance.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to understand the roles various drivers such as cost, strategy and risk play when business process outsourcing/information technology enabled services (BPO/ITES) firms in India outsource their information technology (IT) functions to third-party vendors. If all key drivers associated with IT outsourcing were understood, and such knowledge of those variables was incorporated into the reasons for outsourcing, there would be a greater probability of a successful outcome. Design/methodology/approach – A “hybrid” (quantitative and qualitative) research methodology was used to gain insight into the IT-outsourcing paradigm by BPO/ITES firms in India. A structured questionnaire related to IT-outsourcing activities conducted from 1999 to 2010 was distributed to nine firms. The resulting data were then analyzed. In addition, two Indian BPO/ITES firms that had outsourced their IT to a third-party vendor to cut cost generously granted in-depth information into their IT-outsourcing paradigm and life cycle. Findings – IT outsourcing is perhaps more complicated than other types of outsourcing. Focussing purely on cost is very risky. Practitioners need to take all three drivers – cost, strategy and risk into consideration. Any degradation of services or responsibilities due to IT outsourcing would mean a very unhappy client or even loss of business. Originality/value – BPO/ITES firms in India tend to focus only on cost reduction from IT outsourcing without taking into consideration other equally important drivers such as strategy and risk. This paper counsels a holistic approach toward IT outsourcing for a successful outcome. In addition, an IT-outsourcing framework and guide is proposed for practitioners.

Background: In the whole design process of modular fuel tank, there are some unreasonable phenomena. As a result, there are some defects in the design of modular fuel tank, and the function does not meet the requirements in advance. This paper studies this problem. Objective: Through on-the-spot investigation of the factory, a mechanical design process model is designed. The model can provide reference for product design participants on product design time and design quality, and can effectively solve the problem of low product design quality caused by unreasonable product design time arrangement. Methods: After sorting out the data from the factory investigation, computer software is used to program, simulate the information input of mechanical design process, and the final reference value is got. Results: This mechanical design process model is used to guide the design and production of a new project, nearly 3 months ahead of the original project completion time. Conclusion: This mechanical design process model can effectively guide the product design process, which is of great significance to the whole mechanical design field.

The Evolution Of Industry

This article addresses the evolution of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) in the automotive industry, exploring its contribution to a shift in the maintenance paradigm. To this end, we firstly present the concepts of predictive maintenance (PdM), condition-based maintenance (CBM), and their applications to increase awareness of why and how these concepts are revolutionizing the automotive industry. Then, we introduce the business process management (BPM) and business process model and notation (BPMN) methodologies, as well as their relationship with maintenance. Finally, we present the case study of the Renault Cacia, which is developing and implementing the concepts mentioned above.
