Systems capability (SC) evaluation
To date SC has generally been assessed and analysed based on subjective assumptions. Qualitative attributes such as: reputation, collaborations, knowledge, success in delivering final products, and technical ability coupled with some quantitative attributes i.e. size of the company, capital, and other measurable attributes play important role in this assessment. Non-standard linguistic characteristics attributed to systems by systems' analysts have left key decision makers exposed to misjudgments with devastating consequences. Especially these over estimations have been displayed in the latest crashes in IT and Telecommunication industries. Hence a platform of some sort for standardisation of the evaluation technique is required. Constituent elements of evaluation and the mathematical model to quantify the qualitative and linguistic characteristics of systems capability seem to be necessary.
We developed a mathematical model to depict and compare the capability of companies that are active in a specific high-tech industry to aid the decision makers in their pursue to overtake and merge with rival companies.

CODARU - Customer Oriented Design and Resource Utilisation
Global electronic commerce has revolutionised the way company's function and interact. For the benefit of their customers', enterprises need to create virtual alliances around the globe to utilise resources for delivering best-fit solutions. In addition, customer profiling and means to include them at the earliest stages of product or service design will significantly improve quality of design and customer relationships.
CODARU comprises of two distinct algorithm, Customer Optimisation Route and Evaluation (CORE) and Resource Utilisation (RU).
The CORE algorithm, is a novel approach in quantifying customer satisfaction levels (product or service quality) based on the deviation of customer requirements from the actual design. This approach significantly differs from the already existing marketing and quality function deployment techniques.
The RU algorithm, utilises the resources within the enterprises' domain and offers the optimum suite of process plans to produce the required products or services based manufacturing or service constraints. The final solution offers the minimum resources required to produce the products or services. For further information please refer to my publications.
I would like to invite researchers and/or industrialist who believe CODARU software can be improved and/or implemented in commercial cases to contact me.
