This paper presents an RP Decision Support System (RP DSS) for ranking and selecting a rapid prototyping technique. Three phases of the research, identification-design and development-implementation and test, were deployed RP DSS subsystems: data management, model management and user interface. Data management subsystem contains data for 51 different RP systems. Model management subsystem contains the scoring model approach MADM chosen as the analytic model in model base. TOPSIS is modified to treat decision data extended to fuzzy numbers. RP DSS was implemented in automobile industry. The part considered to test is Front Bumper Grille, one part of automobile with important duty of exchanging heat with environment, because of functional test. Based on data entry to RP DSS with expert user, EOSINT P700 was determined as best RP technique in this application.https://jitm.ut.ac.ir/article_36525_a89046f573b3c6292b4fcb340c4d5952.pdfFaculty of Management, University of TehranJournal of Information Technology Management2980-79725220130723Investigating the Factors Affecting Electronic Loyalty of Bank Tejarat Customers in Tehranبررسی عوامل مؤثر بر وفاداری الکترونیکی مشتریان بانک تجارت در شهر تهران23363652610.22059/jitm.2013.36526ENSalehJouyandeh AbkenarMSc.

Information Technology Management, Allameh Tabataba’i University, Tehran, IranJournal Article20140308Rapid growth of e-commerce has made the competition quite different. In this new environment customers have wide choices and are looking forward to the support which guarantees the delivery of what they have chosen. This leads to complexity in the relationship between the provider and the customer which obviously is made more in a B2B environment. Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a key tool to manage this complexity. One of the current challenges in setting of SLAs is the gap between customer requirements and perceived characteristics of service by the provider. Unlike previous researches which only consider providers capability to provide service, this research looks at the other side of contract, customers, and presents a comprehensive framework of customer properties. Firstly, dimensions and indicators of the customer properties were identified through literature review and then, they were evaluated through experts’ survey. The detected dimensions in this framework were management, organization, human, knowledge, information, applications and infrastructure.

Just those who are provided with personal capabilities and environmental conditions can be the messengers of development. In this approach background of our country in planning is ignored and resolved the challenges of development in e- government. So at first, main challenges in developing e-government are identified, then models of C.A. and factors affecting it are extracted and classified. Next, the amount of effects of human capabilities on different challenges of e-government is surveyed based on QFD and ranked regarding Shannon Entropy. The results showed in e-government developing, considering the capabilities of people along with different ideas of the government can be influential. The important capabilities are as follows: the ability to create a democratic, free environment in the information community, accessing to this information, the ability to learn the electronic knowledge and the ability to offer services with electronic quality and the ability to preserve one’s rights in an electronic environment.https://jitm.ut.ac.ir/article_36529_84a379f230cc48d17b305ffca76be02a.pdfFaculty of Management, University of TehranJournal of Information Technology Management2980-79725220130723An ERP Selection Framework in Constructor Companies using Fuzzy AHP Approachچارچوب انتخاب سیستم برنامهریزی منابع سازمان در شرکتهای پیمانکاری با رویکرد تحلیل سلسلهمراتبی فازی951163658410.22059/jitm.2013.36584ENMohammad AliShahhosseiniAssistant Prof., Dep. of Management, Tehran University, Tehran, IranRouhaniRouhaniAssistant Prof., Dep. of Industrial Engineering, Firoozkooh Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran0000-0002-4580-522XRouhiRouhiM.Sc.
