Academic literature on the topic 'Controlling, tools of controlling, personnel controling, personnel function'

Contemporary human resource management specialists have the status of business partners. This role requires sufficient knowledge of the organisation, necessary for the specialists to contribute to the devel- opment of strategic solutions and cost optimization through, for instance, personal controlling, i.e. con- trolling adapted to handle the HRM function. The personnel controlling concept comes with a variety of tools, one of which is the labour cost budgeting. This interdisciplinary article presents the complex matter of human resource management in the context of personnel controlling. In particular, it provides an in- sight into the nature of personnel controlling and labour costs, and describes how personnel controlling units and HRM units are related to each other. Based on a critical review of the literature (mainly interna- tional), the article integrates the knowledge of personnel cost budgeting and attempts to evaluate its use- fulness for management purposes. Its conclusions can be used as reference by researchers and practition- ers (mainly heads of the personnel function and personnel controlling), as well as by economics students. In the author’s opinion, personnel cost budgeting can be a key tool allowing an organisation to control these costs and consequently improving the effectiveness of organisational management.

This study has been triggered by increase of counterfeit goods in the local markets whose origin is outside Kenya. This study sought to establish the competence and suitability of the security function in controlling entry of counterfeit products through the port of Mombasa. Despite the government putting measures to control entry of counterfeits. The existence of counterfeit goods in the market has led to Kenyans not to get value for money on purchase or end up using goods that might have negative health implications. The government has lost revenue by tax evasion or tax underpayments, money that can be used for infrastructure development in our country. This study examined influence of policy on increased control of counterfeit products at the port of Mombasa and how security personnel employ the policies in controlling entry of counterfeits. This study also assessed the knowledge on counterfeits of security personnel at the port of Mombasa and how this contributes to controlling counterfeiting. This study was anchored on two theories namely two factor theory of motivation and Vroom`s expectancy theory of motivation to describe the behavior of security personnel who are involved in controlling entry of counterfeits. This study utilized descriptive research design and the target population was a total of 248 security personnel drawn from different security agencies who are charged directly with detection and control of counterfeits at the port of Mombasa. This study applied probability sampling design by utilizing stratified random sampling techniques as well as purposive sampling to specifically select a sample size of 106 respondents from the study population. A semi structured questionnaire was the major data collection tools of this study. Gathered data was analyzed quantitatively, aided by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) where averages were computed and findings presented using tables and charts. Findings and recommendations are expected to help reduce or completely curb counterfeits in Kenyan markets as well as provide basis for future research. In all, 57% of the respondent indicated that there was a link between the working conditions and the efficiency of the Security personnel. Working conditions, training, policies and deployment levels influences the efficiency of the security personnel to a level of 90.4 percent. The recommendations from the study are: the government and other relevant agencies should be involved in policy making. The oversight bodies, enforcement agencies and other regulatory agencies should work under one body and involve the National Intelligence and the Directorate of Criminal intelligence for surveillance.

The innovative methods of personnel management are gradually being mastered in production organizations. However, personnel control tools are not enough estimated. In some cases, during the implementation and use of personnel controlling techniques, emphasis is placed on its control functions to the detriment of ways to motivate the manifestation of staff creativity. To overcome the contradictions in the perception of personnel management technologies and personnel control, in particular, regarding the theory and practice of introducing the latter in processing organizations, it should be considered as a system of methods and tools that radically change management processes based on the realization of the creative potential of managers. Based on the methodological dialectical installation of the transition of quantity into quality, The possibility of two directions of introducing personnel controlling technology into the structure of a processing organization has been proved: 1) reorientation of managerial processes in the existing personnel management; 2) the creation of a special controlling subsystem. Taking into account the opinions of specialists regarding the development of personnel controlling as an existing structure, a choice has been made in favor of activating process managerial influences in the "bottom-up" direction while changing the structure of the processes themselves in the "top-down" direction and, on this basis, mastering new rules for "employee-employee" relationships worker. The application of the knowledge gained made it possible to justify the feasibility of using reengineering processes for the implementation of this project. The distinctive advantageous features of the proposed form of personnel controlling reengineering are the simultaneous increase in the level of creative staff competencies, simplification of the development of management decisions and optimization of the personnel management structure itself. The implementation of the idea of a process approach logically becomes productive if the economic activity of processing organizations is considered as a system of business processes.

The role of control structures in the economic activity of both the state and private enterprises is increasing. The personnel of control, audit and controlling structures perform specific tasks and are an effective tool for managing the personnel system. Therefore, special personal and professional requirements are imposed on them. Specialists must have certain professional knowledge, specific cognitive characteristics and communication qualities. The study of the psychological characteristics of this economic category, its role at the present stage of the evolutionary development of management seems to be significant and important for the development of Russian enterprises. The study of personnel was organized in accordance with the program for studying the intellectual, behavioral, characterological and motivational aspects of the activities of employees of various age cohorts. The article investigates the behavioral and characterological characteristics of employees in difficult situations, reveals the dependence of the level of development of cognitive characteristics and dynamics of characterological traits on the age of employees. The analysis of the effectiveness of employees with personal accentuations is carried out, the most effective ways of motivating and stimulating the personnel of control and audit departments are revealed. A variant of the study of the personal and professional skills of employees implementing audit and controlling functions is proposed. Further work to create a system for assessing the psychological characteristics of the personnel of audit and controlling structures will contribute to the development and effective functioning of the entire enterprise.

AbstractIntroduction:On 17 October 1989, the Loma Prieta Earthquake shook the San Francisco Bay area, home to more than 6 million people. This study examined the effectiveness and function of emergency medical services (EMS) communications after this event.Methods:The six Bay area counties most affected by the Loma Prieta Earthquake were surveyed using a 156-part questionnaire. This study examined the functioning of the primary 9-1-1 county dispatch centers. Paramedics involved in a set of defined activities during the period after the earthquake also were surveyed. Emergency medical services directors also were questioned by telephone using an interview tool developed for this purpose. All areas concerning disaster response were not queried. Ten specific areas were considered, including: 1) preparation for disaster; 2) the impact of the earthquake; 3) reconnaissance; 4) call volume; and 5) others.Results:Coordination among the various agencies responsible for disaster response and mitigation needs more study. Uniform response plans for medical mutual aid need development. Government support similar to police and fire department arrangements for mutual aid are not in place. Additional planning and training for disasters at all levels need reassessment. The communication-center personnel indicated that they did not call for more resources, but instead accepted volunteers at dispatch centers and extra assistance. Once engaged, however, most communications centers (CCs) had great difficulty tracking and controlling all the units under their jurisdiction. In some large urban counties, some ambulances were idled awaiting calls but lost their communications centers, while other ambulance personnel were trying to handle multiple patients and requests for services.Conclusions:Significant help from a state or federal agency likely will be unavailable for a substantial period after a catastrophic regional event. Important coordination among EMS agencies for disaster response is poor or absent. Although fatalities and casualties were limited compared to what could have occurred, great confusion reigned for varying periods of time after the earthquake. Communications among local agencies, counties, and the state were problematic. Information flow to hospitals was cited frequently as a problem, making it difficult for hospitals to prepare adequately. Medical mutual-aid help was disorganized and inadequately controlled. The training of personnel and the method of recall for disaster response need to be examined.

Введение. Подготовка нового поколения высокообразованных кадров, способных приобретать и воспроизводить знания, требует осуществления кардинальных изменений и в оценивании результатов достижений обучения курсантов. Контроль знаний предполагает оценивание знаний, умений и навыков, приобретенных курсантами, а контроль качества обучения направлен на определение уровня и повышение профессионального мастерства преподавателей. Эти направления контроля используются в оценивании степени достижения поставленных целей обучения; выявлении проблем, которые возникают у курсантов в процессе обучения; стимулировании самостоятельной подготовки курсантов; определении степени профессиональной подготовленности преподавателя; получения данных, необходимых для совершенствования учебной, научной и методической деятельности. Так как не существует конкретных унифицированных моделей реализации оценивания учебных достижений курсантов, методы и средства оценивания определяются внутренними нормативами военного института. В связи с этим назрела необходимость обоснования теоретической основы и практического опыта методики обучения контролю учебной деятельности преподавателей военного института как фактора совершенствования качества оценивания учебных достижений курсантов военного института. Решение данной проблемы возможно при условии использования полифункционального контроля профессиональной подготовки компетентного специалиста.Цель – разработка и внедрение в образовательную практику полифункционального контроля в оценивании развития военно-профессиональных компетенций курсантов, направленного на повышение качества их теоретической подготовки и компетенций.Материал и методы.

Introduction. The training of a new generation of highly educated personnel capable of acquiring and reproducing knowledge requires fundamental changes in the assessment of cadet learning outcomes. Knowledge control involves assessing the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired by cadets, while quality control aims at determining the level and enhancing the professional skills of teachers. These areas of control are used to assess the extent to which the learning objectives have been achieved; to identify problems that cadets encounter in the learning process; to stimulate cadets’ independent work; to determine the professionalism of the teacher; to obtain information necessary for the improvement of teaching, research and methodological work. As there are no specific unified models for implementing the assessment of cadet learning achievements, the methods and means of assessment are determined by the internal regulations of the military higher education institution. In this regard, there is a need to substantiate the theoretical basis and practical experience of training methodology for controlling the learning activities of military school teachers as a factor in improving the quality of evaluating the learning achievements of cadets of the Military Institute of the National Guard Troops. This problem can be solved by using a multifunctional control of the professional training of a competence-oriented specialist. The aim is to develop and implement in educational practice a multifunctional control in assessing the development of military-professional competences of cadets, aimed at improving the quality of their theoretical training and competences. Material and methods. Source analysis, testing of cadets and teachers, pedagogical experiment, mathematical method of evaluating the achievements of cadets’ learning success. Results and discussion. The essence of different approaches to evaluating the learning outcomes of cadets in military higher education institutions is revealed. The main types of evaluation of the results of their educational activities are revealed: diagnostic, current, periodic (thematic), and final evaluation, and their corresponding functions – diagnostic, controlling, managerial, educational, analytical-informational, motivational, and educational – are identified. The necessity of development and implementation in educational practice of multifunctional control in evaluating the development of military-professional competences of cadets, aimed at improving the quality of their theoretical and professional training, was substantiated. The study has shown that the set of control functions in the educational process is a system of multifunctional control of professional training of a competent specialist, which is characterised by the integrated use of various forms and methods of control on the basis of complementarity. The didactic multifunctionality of control is ensured by the realisation of its main functions, the level of provision of which in the educational process has an impact on the growth of cadet learning efficiency. The multifunctional quality control of cadet knowledge is a holistic management tool that includes diagnosis, investigation, control and evaluation. Conclusion. This study has shown that one of the promising ways to assess the quality of training is to develop and implement in educational practice a multifunctional control in assessing the development of military-professional competences of cadets, aimed at improving the quality of their theoretical training and practical skills. It is based on adequate psychological and pedagogical approaches, the use of pedagogical modelling and the selection of the most effective organisational and pedagogical conditions that will ensure the effectiveness of multifunctional control of future officers’ professional training.

Abstract Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances by using a symbolic language on engineering drawings that describe nominal (theoretically perfect) geometry of controlled features, as well as their allowable variation in size, other geometrical characteristics (form, orientation and location) and variation between features. Per this language, dimensions and tolerances are selected to suit function and mating relationship of a part and are subject to a unique interpretation. It allows design engineers, manufacturing personnel, and quality inspectors to describe geometry and allowable variation of parts and assemblies in an efficient and effective manner. When compared to coordinate dimensioning, GD&T has the benefits of reducing the manufacturing cost and number of drawing revisions, describing an important functional relationship on a part, saving inspection time by using functional gages, and improving measurement repeatability. However, GD&T has a fairly complex rule-based system, and as a result can be difficult to teach and learn. One such concept relates to the use of modifier circle M. In GD&T, a feature control frame is required to describe the conditions and tolerances of a geometric control on a part’s feature. The feature control frame may consist of up to four pieces of information, (1) GD&T symbol or control symbol for the feature, (2) Tolerance zone type and its size, (3) Tolerance zone modifiers and (4) Datum references (if required by the GD&T symbol). When circle M is used as a feature tolerance zone modifier, it is relatively easy to understand that there is a possibility of getting bonus tolerance, and in turn, a higher total tolerance. However, what is not very intuitive is the size of the feature counterpart on the functional gage to inspect the given feature control frame. Apparently, it is not the Maximum Material Condition (MMC) size of the feature. Rather, the size is what is called a virtual condition (VC) of the feature, which is defined as the theoretical extreme boundary condition of a feature of size (FOS) generated by the collective effects of MMC and applicable geometric tolerance. When circle M is used as a datum feature/reference modifier, it is even more strenuous to calculate the datum boundary or the size of the datum feature counterpart on the functional gage. In this case, it is the Maximum Material Boundary (MMB); a virtual condition of the datum feature governed by a specific rule of GD&T that establishes this VC with respect to the preceding datum in the feature control frame. This would necessitate one to look for a specific applicable geometric tolerance that is an exclusive relationship between the datum feature and its preceding datum in the feature control frame. Even worse, in case of position tolerance (which, often times, is a lumped sum tolerance controlling orientation and location geometric characteristics of the datum feature simultaneously), it is even trickier to find an exclusive relationship between the datum feature and its preceding datum. In this article, authors have made an attempt to clarify the above-mentioned situations through numerous examples. Hopefully, this can be successfully implemented in undergraduate and graduate education reinforcing the premise that a better educated workforce would be able to contribute significantly higher to advanced manufacturing, design, quality tools and advanced metrology.

Abstract The umbilical-less tubing hanger running installation tool, ROCS ("Remote Operated Control System") was first introduced as an R&D project to the market in early 2020. By February 2021, it is in operation for Aker BP in the North Sea on Deepsea Nordkapp. ROCS is specifically designed to increase the robustness and efficiency of running the production tubing in the well. In a traditional operation, the Tubing Hanger Running Tool ("THRT") normally communicates topside through an umbilical. The ROCS eliminate the controls umbilical by having two methods of communication to the THRT, either acoustic or through wired pipe, preference is acoustic. This also eliminates the topside WorkOver Completion System ("WOCS"). The approximately 16meter long ROCS is also designed with a Ready To Run ("R2R") principle, where the ROCS, THRT and Tubing Hanger ("TH") is made ready on land for offshore operations, already connected and tested. The system is redundant and based on a closed loop hydraulics, powered by a subsea HPU, electrically supplied from subsea batteries. The SHPU is small in size and power consumption, capable of providing the required flow at 690bar. The control functions occur through electrically held DCV's ("Directional Control Valve") for controlling all of the required TH functions. The ROCS is capable of performing 3 operations of each TH function within the allocated deployed period. The energy required is provided between the hydraulic accumulators and batteries. Pressure balanced accumulators are included to optimize all deepwater operations. A properly sized clean reservoir is installed, interfacing the pre charged accumulators. ROCS is controlled through a modular and user-friendly topside HMI ("Human Interface Machine"), communicating acoustically or through wired pipe over any type communication protocol. The benefits include removing personnel from red zone, as well as eliminating time to clamp umbilical to the drillpipe. This significantly reduces mobilization of the system to a few hours, which also eliminates the topside deck space considerably. The running time is reduced and allows to increase speed of the drill pipe. This also reduces the risk of damaging production tubing or downhole equipment. There is no risk of downtime due to damaged conduit and the operating weather window is increased.

Abstract Industry 4.0 concept enables connecting a multitude of equipment to computer simulations through IoT and virtual commissioning, but using conventional interfaces for each separate piece of equipment for control and maintenance of Digital Twins is not always an optimal solution. Industrial Digital Twins software toolkits usually consist of simulation or offline programming tools. It can even connect real machines and controllers and sensors to feed a simulation with actual production data and later analyze it. Moreover, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are used in different ways for monitoring and design purposes. However, there are many software tools for the simulation and re-programming of robots on the market already, but those are a limited number of software that combine all these features, and all of those send data only in one way, not allowing to re-program machines from the simulations. The related research aims to build a modular framework for designing and deploying Digital Twins of industrial equipment (i.e., robots, manufacturing lines), focusing on online connectivity for monitoring and control. A developed use-case solution enables one to operate the equipment in VR/AR/Personal Computer (PC) and mobile interfaces from any point globally while receiving real-time feedback and state information of the machinery equipment. Gamified multi-platform interfaces allow for more intuitive interactions with Digital Twins, providing a real-scale model of the real device, augmented by spatial UIs, actuated physical elements, and gesture tracking. The introduced solution can control and simulate any aspect of the production line without limitation of brand or type of the machine and being managed and self-learning independently by exploiting Machine Learning algorithms. Moreover, various interfaces such as PC, mobile, VR, and AR give an unlimited number of options for interactions with your manufacturing shop floor both offline and online. Furthermore, when it comes to manufacturing floor data monitoring, all gathered data is being used for statistical analysis, and in a later phase, predictive maintenance functions are enabled based on it. However, the research scope is broader; this particular research paper introduces a use-case interface on a mobile platform, monitoring and controlling the production unit of three various industrial- and three various mobile robots, partially supported by data monitoring sensors. The solution is developed using the game engine Unity3D, Robot Operation System (ROS), and MQTT for connectivity. Thus, developed is a universal modular Digital Twin all-in-one software platform for users and operators, enabling full control over the manufacturing system unit.
