Kaledina, N. O. "Risk-based approach to keep mining industrial safety." Mining informational and analytical bulletin, no. 6-1 (May 20, 2020): 5–14. http://dx.doi.org/10.25018/0236-1493-2020-61-0-5-14.
Full textAbstract:
Currently, the mining industry should be transferred to a risk-based approach in providing state supervision of industrial safety. “Regulatory guillotine” provides for the abolition of all current regulatory and methodological documents in the industry. However, vital risks should be identified and methods of their assessment and safety management based on these assessments should be proposed. The regulatory framework should become more logical and concise. However, the specifics of the mining industry requires not only a reduction in the volume of documents, but also a serious study in terms of ensuring systematic safety requirements, harmonization of industry and industry standards. In the context of a risk-based approach, all control activities go to the level of production units, while the role of personnel qualification is growing, since organizational risks are prevailing in the mining industry. Therefore, training should be one of the important tasks of the reform of the supervision of industrial safety. It will not work out only through the system of additional professional education, because In this system, personnel are mainly trained at the top managerial level, and the lower and middle levels of mining management are carried out by university graduates. This, in turn, requires an increase in the level of professional training of mountain university graduates, which is difficult to implement in the current system of basic engineering education. The current law” on education “ implements a system of constant quality reduction, which requires its adjustment.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to enhance the capability in managing the maintenance of the transportation process from a quarry to a crushing plant, measured by the availability value and the process capability value. Design/methodology/approach The maintenance management plan consists of plans for three levels of management: strategy, tactical and operational maintenance plans. The Deming cycle is a continuous improvement tool use for controlling and monitoring activities of the plans. There are three Deming cycles according to these plans, the first of which involves the improvement of machine performance and investment evaluation. The second involves the improvement of plans, schedule, and activities of preventive maintenance including autonomous maintenance. The third is for human resource development on maintenance works. Moreover, the feedback of a prior round of each cycle comes early to detect abnormalities that provide better capability in maintenance. Findings Three Deming cycles can use for enhancing the maintenance management. The parameters are availability (A) of machines and the capability process (Cpk) of the transportation process. The results of this research state that the availability value of machines increases to 80-92 percent while the process capability value increases to 0.56. Practical implications The maintenance management, especially strategic plan, tactical plan and operational plan via the Deming cycle, can be implemented in other medium-sized industries with limited technology and personnel. It was found that the implementation of the plans has continued to progress with the Deming cycle. Originality/value This paper proposes how to successfully implement the maintenance management for medium-sized industries with limited technology and personnel. The maintenance management of three levels is carried out simultaneously by using the Deming cycle. This work has proven to be successful which can be expressed in the availability and the capability process values.

In modern conditions, improving the safety and efficiency of mining enterprises is impossible without assessing organizational risks. The existing huge knowledge base that has been accumulated by the practice of mining and research in mining science allows designing mining enterprises with a high degree of protection against dangerous and harmful factors for its personnel, but does not ensure safety from the influence of the human factor itself. To solve the scientific problem of ensuring the safety of the main production processes of mining, scientists at the time developed the classification of human errors. This article discusses the most widely used classification of personnel errors. The main types are errors and violations. Studying the identified errors, by management levels and at workplaces related to the human factor, helps to develop the necessary safety measures when assessing organizational risks. And also to increase the efficiency of work, it is necessary to solve the corresponding problems, which are to determine the role of the human factor and identify the main mistakes of staff.

There is a great demand for pure water that is fit for human consumption. There is also a great demand for the industrial use of this essential source in plants in order to supply certain products to consumers. The industrial use of water is often associated with water pollution and the polluted water is often discharged into rivers and natural streams. The increasing demand for the chemical monitoring of water qualities therefore emphasizes the importance of an efficient and workable management system to remain profitable and competitive in a fast growing industry. The integrated laboratory information management system (ILIMS) is developed by the authors to increase productivity by integrating the documentation relevant to safety and environmental conservation, human resources, personnel training and development, and quality.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The aim of this study is to establish key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be deployed in the evaluation and promotion of safety performance of building developer`s in NigeriaDesign/methodology/approach: A thorough review of the literature was performed to generally identify sets of KPIs used to evaluate the safety performances of building developer`s during construction. Interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with eleven (11) subject matter experts and professionals to ensure inclusion, validation and clarity of the indicators and to further provide agreement/disagreement, and importance ratings for the identified KPIs. The KPIs was grouped into appropriate categories, keeping out redundant KPIs, and ensuring KPIs are clear and measurable. The Relative Importance Index (RII) and Mean values were computed.Findings: Results from the study consist of 137 KPIs, grouped into 9 categories including: Planning, design and procurement, communication on & maintenance of effective safety behaviour, construction safety policy, construction safety personnel, management effort and support, safety training and enlightenment, administration of safety processes, investigation and reporting of accidents, and rewards and sanctions for project stakeholders. These KPIs were observed to be at different levels of importance from the respondents. The following KPIs were considered based on their extreme importance judging from the respective RII values: communicating safety requirements to designer (98.18%), safety performance set as part of contractor selection criterion (96.36%), availability and accessibility of the relevant insurance policies (98.18%) and appropriate issuance of motivational directives by the top management (100%).Originality/value: Many studies have been done in the past where KPIs as it relates to construction safety were identified. However, the specificity of these KPIs to countries other than Nigeria requires similar research be conducted to identify building developer safety performance KPIs for the Nigerian construction industry.

The Covid-19 pandemic that is currently happening has become a scourge for the community and has had a quite wide impact on almost all industrial sectors, especially in the aviation industry. Government directions that require individuals to carry out social and physical distancing have made noteworthy changes to the flight forms and methods. The aim of this research is to assess the effect of implementing policies or regulations issued by the government regarding the handling of Covid-19 on aviation safety, especially in the airport operations sector. The approach of this research is descriptive qualitative, while data collection uses interview techniques and distributing questionnaires to airport personnel and airport management. This study resulted in findings that the aspect of aviation safety, especially for users of air transportation services, remains a top priority for airport operators even though during the Covid-19 pandemic, this is evidenced by the application of Biosafety Management and Biosecurity Management in the implementation of flight operations at airports. however, it is necessary to establish good collaboration and coordination with operators between modes of transportation other than aircraft in the airport area to prioritize the safety of users of transportation services by implementing health protocols.

The directions of the ecological-oriented development of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex have been analyzed through the implementation of the principles of rational resource consumption. The purpose of the article is to form the scientific basis for the effective use of non-renewable resources by enterprises of the agro-industrial complex in modern economic conditions. A study has been conducted on the causes of waste accumulation in agricultural enterprises and the stages of the greening mechanism of the enterprise functioning have been analyzed. The mechanism of greening the functioning of an enterprise has been considered on the basis of an analysis of the stages, which implies the consistent introduction of technologies and equipment, which makes it possible to reduce the negative impact of agricultural enterprises on the environment.On the basis of the developed general strategy of the enterprise in the field of resource consumption, two models of resource management of an agricultural enterprise have been presented through the use of insourcing and outsourcing tools. The model using insourcing tools assumes the reorientation of the company’s own assets, that are not used in production activities for the cleaning and processing of secondary resources. The model with the use of outsourcing tools assumes the involvement of third-party organizations for the collection and processing of waste in secondary resources. The range of effective implementation of the proposed models in the activities of an agricultural enterprise has been determined. The importance of advanced management training in the field of agricultural economics in the interests of sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex has been denoted and proposals from the State University of Management (SUM) in this area have been presented. The Department of Environmental Management and Environmental Safety has proposed the preparation of masters for the implementation of all activities stipulated by the educational standard in the field of agro-ecological management. The structure of the proposed educational program “Agroecological Management” contains disciplines (modules) of a theoretical and applied nature, that are relevant for the study by specialists of the agro-industrial complex in accordance with the need to solve modern environmental problems.

Introduction. In the structure of management of industrial enterprises, it is necessary to create an integrated safety and security system, which has already become traditional and includes sectoral areas (industrial and fi re safety, labor safety, environmental and information security, anti-terrorism security of the facility). The statistics confi rm the facts that the major part of determined hazards is caused by the human factor, including shortcomings (gaps) in the fi eld of impact of personnel of industrial and fi re safety services, labor safety, information security and anti-terrorism security, environmental security (hereinafter – services) on the supervised safety subsystems. To solve this problem, a methodological basis is presented in obtaining indicators of the infl uence (impact) of each of the services, that allows to reveal vulnerabilities in management of considered integrated safety and security system.Methods of research. Approaches using existing methods in integrated safety and security of the enterprises are analyzed, and the features of their application are considered. At the stage of analytical research, it is proposed to apply the method of direct determined factor analysis, which makes it possible to specify the indicators of factor infl uence, divide them into components. At the stage of synthesizing the obtained analytical results, it is offered to apply the method of the objective tree on the basis of inverse calculations allowing to receive coeffi - cients of increment (decrease) of gaps (erroneous actions) of service personnel arising in the dynamic process of their employment relations.Problem statement. The statistical data of fi res at the enterprises of electric power industry of the Russian Federation were processed. The coeffi cients of characteristic infl uence (direct, indirect) were determined. It was necessary to solve the problem with dynamic presentation of service performance indicators (by years) to identify those areas that require the formation of management instructions by the head of the enterprise.Problem solution. The example of inverse problem solution based on the construction of the objective tree, which is characterized by ease of use, visibility, dynamism, universality and uniformity is presented.Conclusion. The results obtained can be integrated as an embedding into an expert or intelligent management system created at the enterprise (for example SAP).

Full textAbstract:
As we know, the level of organization and efficiency of agricultural production depends on provision of highly qualified specialists. Nowadays, we oversee a shortage of qualified personnel in the agribusiness of the Republic of Tatarstan. Increasing the agricultural products output, on the one hand, and lack of managerial staff in the agricultural enterprises, on the other hand, cause increasing the loading on industry experts, which drastically reduces their motivation to work and efficiency of industrial process control. All this leads to a decrease in efficiency of agricultural production. Studies show, that agribusiness personnel security system depends on their training and retraining in the higher educational institutions, on focused work of personnel services at various levels, on the level of wages, on satisfaction of specialists in social and economic conditions of labor, on output and load to one specialist. Agricultural enterprises do not use standard method for determining the needs of industry professionals. According to nominally - standard method in 2012, the plant industry needed in 1533 agronomists, but according to the information of personnel department of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic only 634 agronomists worked in the Republic, that was 41.3% of the estimated quantity. This has led to an expansion of the load on a single specialist, which reduced the efficiency of management, timely execution of processes for organizational reasons and low yields. The loss of crop production averaged in thе Republic was 648 863.600 rubles, that is equivalent to 119 276.3 tons of grain. The shortage of highly qualified personnel in rural areas, their low fixability, degradation qualitative and quantitative human capacity can be eliminated by the development and adoption at the federal and regional levels the targeted program of agribusiness staffing and develop guidelines and criteria for personnel policy. Social and economic activities, that promote security personnel include: material incentives increase, improvement of living conditions, the introduction of new forms of work organization, compliance labor intensity, professional and qualitative promotion of workers. The studies have shown that: an objective approach at making appointments to executive positions; use of personnel reserve; introduction of innovative technologies into the production; improvement of specialists remuneration systems; creation of a single automated system of personnel monitoring in agribusiness; improvement living conditions and higher wages of specialists - are the main measures, facilitating to consolidation of professionals in rural areas. All these measures will have maximum impact and benefit only in joint implementation by the owners of agricultural enterprises and government agribusiness agencies.

Full textAbstract:
The issues of ensuring the environmental safety of the functioning of the processing industry in the agro-industrial complex of Russia, on the basis of economic mechanisms, are considered. The high level of resource use in the processing of agricultural products contributes to environmental pollution, reduces the competitiveness of the industry, increases the level of costs. A rather large deterioration and obsolescence of the equipment of the processing enterprises of the agro-industrial complex does not allow for the environmentally safe processing of agricultural products. Of particular concern are enterprises of the meat processing industry, which produce waste, which creates an unfavorable sanitary and epidemiological situation in the regions. In this regard, it is necessary to develop such a system of economic incentives for the implementation of resource-saving projects of the processing industry enterprises in the agro-industrial complex, which would improve the environmental and economic efficiency of the studied industry. Given the high capital investment in modern resource-saving equipment, it is advisable to pay attention to the sources of funding for these projects on a preferential basis. Among the measures for the economic stimulation of projects for the processing of agricultural products by the industrial method, the article proposes both credit and financial instruments, including preferential loans and leasing, and preferential taxation, and an environmental fee. In order to stimulate projects for the acquisition of resource-saving equipment in the processing of agricultural products, it is proposed to use such an effective tool as accelerated depreciation, which allows manufacturers to reduce costs when replacing old equipment with more modern ones. In order to increase risk management efficiency, when implementing projects for industrial processing of agricultural products, it is proposed to use public-private partnership tools that minimize risks, including environmental ones, due to their redistribution between participants, based on such forms as delegation of management and concessions.

Full textAbstract:
The pest management industry does not have adequate financial incentives to develop the required data to register pest management tools with government authorities on fruit, vegetables, herbs, spices, nursery crops, landscape plants, flowers, turfgrass, and other specialty crops. Growers of these crops, collectively called minor crops, need pest control tools to be able to sustain production. The Interregional Research Project Number Four (IR-4) was established in 1963 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to assist growers of minor crops by providing a mechanism to allow growers of these crops to have access to safe and effective pest management tools. Working with research, industrial and extension personnel at the state land-grant institutions and researchers at USDA, Agricultural Research Service, IR-4 develops the appropriate data to support registration of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and plant growth regulators. Many of the uses of plant growth regulators in current use were developed with oversight provided by IR-4. There are many promising new plant growth regulators and/or uses in the commercial development pipeline and it is anticipated that assistance from IR-4 will be needed to support registration of these new materials on minor crops.

In the context of increasing competitiveness, the relevance of justifying strategic priorities for improving the professional competencies of employees of the Russian agro-industrial complex is significantly increasing. There is a need to develop proposals for the formation, implementation and control of strategic management based on the proposed priorities. Research methodology based on data from the 26 waves of "Russian monitoring of economic situation and population health, (RLMS-HSE)", and also on materials of Federal state statistics service of the Russian Federation. This document systematizes Russian and foreign methodological approaches to the study of professional competencies of agricultural workers. The article substantiates the need to apply a competence-based approach in the field of strategic personnel management in the agricultural sector of the economy. The modern approach to assessing professional competencies is based on the need to identify various factors that affect the content of employees' work and improve the efficiency of the work performed. This approach will allow us to develop recommendations for the formation, implementation and development of a mechanism for improving the professional competencies of workers in agriculture in the Russian Federation. Agriculture is still an economic sector that employs many low-skilled workers. Proposals are needed for the formation, implementation and control of strategic personnel management in the agricultural sector of the economy. The main priorities for the development of professional competencies of industry employees were determined based on the analysis of state programs for personnel support. The main directions are: modernization of the entire system of training and retraining of agricultural workers, participation of individuals in the process of continuing education using the existing potential of state and public institutions, creating comfortable working conditions, as well as improving the system of material and non-material incentives for personnel. Federal and regional authorities, as well as enterprise management, can use the theoretical and methodological conclusions of this article when developing a strategy for staffing agriculture. The practical significance of this work lies in this.

The regular nature of emergencies and accidents indicates the need to use progressive approaches to ensuring industrial safety and labour protection of employees of the extractive industry. The use of a retrospective analysis does not allow us to take into account dangerous factors that have not been detected by the accumulated experience, and this disadvantage can be eliminated by the principles of a priori analysis, which takes into account the potential risks for this system and the factors of their occurrence in the context of a risk-based approach. The problem of studying the occupational risks of the negative impact of hazardous and harmful production factors on personnel as a result of accidents at coal mining enterprises is the area of joint functioning of the occupational health and safety management system and the industrial safety management system. In order to meet the requirements for the analysis and forecasting of occupational injury risks in methane and dust explosions under conditions of uncertainty of the initial data, there is a need for a methodological approach based on the modeling of fuzzy logical inference with a hierarchical structure. This article describes a methodology that will ensure the implementation of the requirements in the field of complex analysis and forecasting of occupational injury risk in methane and dust explosions with the detection of dangerous situations and areas, as well as take into account the results of complex analysis and forecasting.

Full textAbstract:
Crises are influencing the corporate sustainability. Long-term stakeholder value built in decades can be ruined by a middle scale crisis. In the new world of cyber-physical systems, scholars emphasize the decentralized, human–machine cooperation based disturbance handling. From information technology and communication (ICT) point of view the cyber-physical systems are ready for a sustainable, decentralized crisis management. The aim of the article is to present results of a research that has as objective to study the readiness of the human component of cyber-physical systems for a decentralized crisis management approach in industrial organizations. Two highly regulated industries—automotive and pharmaceutical industry- was selected; in all the studied organizations the continuous human-machine cooperation is a reality. The sample consisted of 151 respondents and a questionnaire-based survey was used. The study revealed the need for guidance and education for the personnel regarding the roles and competences of the different departments regarding the relationship with certain stakeholders. The study also reveals that apart from some explicitly regulated by law areas—fire safety, occupational health and safety, and some issues related to technological failures—the studied organizations are not prepared for unexpected situations. Also, our survey revealed that the members of the organization, others than top managers, are not prepared to handle ‘off the job-description’ situations.

Full textAbstract:
In the current industrial scenario there is a serious need for formulating strategies to handle hazardous substances in the safest way. Manufacture, storage, and use of hazardous substances pose a serious risk to industry, people, and the environment. Accidental release of toxic chemicals can lead to emergencies. An emergency response plan (ERP) is inevitable to minimize the adverse effects of such releases. The on-site emergency plan is an integral component of any process safety and risk management system. This paper deals with an on-site emergency response plan for a chlorine manufacturing industry. It was developed on the basis of a previous study on chlorine release and a full scale mock drill has been conducted for testing the plan. Results indicated that properly trained personnel can effectively handle each level of incidents occurring in the process plant. As an extensive guideline to the district level government authorities for off-site emergency planning, risk zone has also been estimated with reference to a chlorine exposure threshold of 3 ppm.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the successes and barriers from an industry-university partnership on studying the impact of No Fault Found (NFF) events. As a consequence, various opportunities are explored to engage with industry to investigate the problem. A comprehensive training is also outlined to ensure that experience and troubleshooting techniques can be disseminated as guidelines across businesses. Design/methodology/approach – The study was performed by Cranfield University in collaboration with industrial partners on identifying the impact of the NFF problem within engineering services. This includes discussions with maintenance engineers, outcomes from a symposium organised specifically on NFF and the authors’ own experiences with the issue. Findings – The paper discusses the continuing serious problem with NFF events found at various maintenance echelons, and suggests a need for formal postgraduate training to be taught within the field of maintenance management. This includes not just technical issues, but also encompassing organisational structures, cultures and behaviours. Since focusing only on one issue at a time does not suffice in dealing with the NFF problem, an integrated approach is required for modern maintenance services and operations. Research limitations/implications – Higher education learning outcomes have been outlined for competent engineering personnel, to broaden their understanding on the subject area. This is based on discussions with industrial collaborators and recently published material. Practical implications – This paper emphasises the importance of the breath of interaction channels and demonstrates the opportunities for effective knowledge exchange by using the activities at Cranfield University to demonstrate their usefulness. The arguments clearly lead to the necessity of academia in this type of industrial problem. However, the presence of a university in this case is not as the sole problem solver, but the rather to act as a collaborative medium between various other outlets. Further ideas proposed, such as constructing guidelines for industries in handling NFF problems and benchmarking tools, can serve as real products that can be benefit industries. The study also aims to promote best practice in the field of maintenance management and outlines the foundations for NFF training material. Originality/value – The originality of the paper is that it presents a structured methodology for engaging with industry. It also outlines a curriculum for NFF training. It essentially serves as a road-map for research and offers a detailed account of areas that need to be taken into account in order to reduce the likely event of NFF.

Full textAbstract:
The use of Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) and Graphene increased in the last decade and it is likely to keep increasing in the near future. The attractiveness of their properties, particularly the possibility to enhance the composites performance using a tailor made methodology, brings new materials, processes and products for highly demanding industrial applications and to the market. However, there are quite a lot of health/safety issues, as well as lack of understanding and standards to evaluate their effects. This paper starts with a general description of materials, processes and products dealing with CNT and graphene. Then, an overview of concerns related to the health and safety when handling, researching, producing and using products that include these materials is presented. It follows a risk management approach with respect to simulation and evaluation tools, and considering the consensual limits already existing for research, industry and consumers. A general discussion integrating the relevant aspects of health and safety with respect to CNT and graphene is also presented. A proactive view is presented with the intention to contribute with some guidelines on installation, maintenance, evaluation, personal protection equipment (PPE) and personnel training to deal with these carbon-based nanomaterials in research, manufacture, and use with composite materials.

The article presents a study of the specifics of «smart» production, the positive effect of which is certainly recognized by industrial enterprises. This means increasing production efficiency, ensuring the reliability, stability and safety of technological systems, and reducing the burden on the environment. In the context of the digital transformation of the industry, new opportunities are opening up to achieve this effect. In this regard, it is important to model the processes of «smart» production, the decomposition of the control system of mechanisms and tools. The purpose of the study is to build a logical and information model that reflects the specifics of managing the processes of «smart» production. The research methods used are comparative analysis (in the context of industries and territories); formalization, which clearly presents information about the management of «smart» production processes in the form of schemes and models; mathematical and statistical methods that underlie cluster analysis. As a result of the study, the following results were obtained: the general scheme of «smart» production was formalized, taking into account the processes of obtaining a petrochemical product, control actions, mechanisms and necessary resources, taking into account the guidelines for sustainable development; the typology of Russian regions, depending on the level of intellectualization of production, was identified according to the signs of the activity of organizations in terms of the use of information and communication technologies for the automation of processes and design: regions with low, medium and high activity of intellectualization of production; A logical and information model of managing the processes of «smart» production is proposed, covering the stages of integration and operation of digital technologies, production assets of industrial enterprises and personnel support, which differs in the object of modeling and systematically describes the functioning of intelligent production. The practical significance of the results is due to the possibility of competent process management in the context of the implementation of digital solutions and the sustainable development of industry.

Khrushchev was associated with rapid, not surpassed throughout the subsequent time, the pace of development. The Republic has become an industrial and agricultural region. The average annual growth of industrial production from 1959 to 1965 was 16.9 %, and in the country exceeded 10 %. In terms of this indicator and GDP growth, the USSR surpassed almost all developed countries in the world. The reasons for “the economic miracle” continue to be the subject of wide discussion. The most important factor in achieving this result, according to most researchers, was the human factor, that is, the set of traditions, customs, behavioral norms and models formed within the framework of the Soviet institutional environment during the “Khrushchev thaw”. The Komsomol played a significant role in organizing events at that time. It supported planned (production, ideological, cultural, etc.) mobilization companies of the Soviet society. The young generation in the post-war period became the most important source of labor resources and was crucial in providing production with the necessary personnel. The article is devoted to the study of the nature of labor motivation of young people in the basic concepts of that time. Materials and Methods. Scientific study based on the materials of CSA of the Republic of Mordovia, where the set of documents of Komsomol organizations since their emergence to the elimination in the early 90-ies of the last century. While writing the article, the principle of historicism, objectivity and consistency was applied. The whole range of special historical methods of studying the past social reality is used. Result. Based on the study of archival and published sources, as well as scientific literature, the analysis of the activities of the Komsomol to mobilize young people to implement the decisions of the CPSU on the development of the national economic complex of the country and the Mordovian ASSR was carried out. Discussion and Conclusion. In 1957, at the initiative of N. S. Khrushchev, one of the radical reforms aimed at restructuring the management of the national economy was undertaken. The law of May 10, 1957 replaced the branch system with a territorial one. The Mordovian economic administrative district headed by the Sovnarkhoz was created on July 1, 1957. The period of the reform was a time of rapid industrial development. After displacement Khrushchev and Brezhnev’s rise to power slowed the pace of development. The rejection of economic incentives to work, the gradual fading of the momentum of renewal, and the growing fatigue of society from continuous reforms and reorganizations led to a decline in the pace of economic development. The Komsomol of Mordovia in the conditions of the Soviet planning and administrative economic system was a significant driving force of industrial development.

Purpose Over recent decades, talent agglomeration has emerged as a critical topic for scholars, businesses and government officers. Innovative ability is a core competition for high-tech talents. In China, low innovation is the bottleneck, as the high-tech industry usually cannot provide sufficient support for the continuous needs of innovative talents. To enhance the continuous support of talents, it is important to obtain the mechanisms of talent evaluation and flow in high-tech industry. Exploring the incentive factors influencing the scientific and technological personnel, adjust the layout of talents and promote the rational agglomeration. It’s significant to realize the regional economic development. Design/methodology/approach This study proposes an assessment model using the multi-criteria decision-making method of analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the weights of incentive factors and a nonlinear programing model, from micro, meso and macro perspectives of individual, organizational and social incentives by adopting Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, Kurt Lewin’s field theory and Lee’s push-pull theory. After the literature review and interviews with 14 experts, this study produced a research framework and a pairwise comparison questionnaire. In addition, the relative quantitative weights of 3 main categories and 15 indicators are identified and ranked based on the AHP method. Findings The results demonstrate that the most important dimension is the individual, and the top three highest weighted factors are job satisfaction, sense of working accomplishment and interpersonal relationships. The discussion in this study showed that the proposed model is rational and acceptable to motivate high-tech innovation talent (HTIT) agglomeration for high-tech enterprises, universities, government and start-ups. Research limitations/implications The pairwise comparison using the AHP method is limited to expert opinions, which are considered comparatively subjective. The number of incentive factors should be increased, as some indicators may have been omitted from the AHP model. Practical implications According to the results, some suggestions can be recommended to corporate executives, HR managers and government officers to attract and retain high-tech talents and further to improve industrial clusters and economic development. Originality/value This paper derives a relative ranking of importance based on the opinions of experienced HR specialists, high-tech talent, scholars and government official, and assesses the consistency of results. The ordering represents the importance of indicators and sub-indicators of two levels from respondents’ perspectives in an industry cluster background. The study, focusing on the high-tech industry in China (which is a developing country), offers a unique view, as earlier studies mainly collect data from developed countries.

Introduction:The underground mining industry has one of the most hazardous industrial occupations, and requires an increased level of preparedness for injury incidents. The most important outcome for seriously injured victims is the reduction in morbidity and mortality. Receiving effective and timely care may mean the difference between life and death. However, mines are usually located in a rural area and the incident site may be deep underground which makes it an extraordinary challenge for the rescue services. A successful rescue response in an extraordinary milieu demands a high level of inter-organizational cooperation skills at the incident site.Aim:To analyze statements of collaborate activities during a major incident exercise in the underground mine industry, essentially for patient outcome.Methods:A Delphi technique was performed, asking opinions from experts in iterative rounds to generate, understand, and form consensus on group opinion around this complex issue. The experts were personnel from disaster medicine (n=3), emergency and prehospital medicine (n=10), rescue service (n=16), and mine industry (n=9), all with operative command positions.Results:Three iterative rounds were performed. The first round was conducted as a workshop to collect opinions about the most important inter-organization cooperation activities to optimize patient outcome from an injury incident in an underground mine. This resulted in 63 statements. The statements included information about: early alarm routines, collaborative support and efforts of early life-saving interventions, relevant resources and equipment, command and control room, and functions. In round two participants shared and communicated decisions about safety, situation awareness, and guidelines for response. All statements reached consensus among the experts in round three.Discussion:These inter-organizational statements are considered important by experts, and could be used to evaluate collaboration in major incident exercises. Hence, the statements can also be quality indicators for reporting results from major incident management.

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Judy Feder, contains highlights of paper SPE 203251, “Drilling in the Digital Age: Harnessing Intelligent Automation To Deliver Superior Well-Construction Performance in a Major Middle Eastern Gas Field,” by Brennan Goodkey, Gerardo Hernandez, and Andres Nunez, Schlumberger, et al., prepared for the 2020 Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, Abu Dhabi, held virtually from 9-12 November. The paper has not been peer reviewed. While breakthroughs in digital technology have rewarded many industries with a step change in productivity and efficiency during the past decade, the drilling industry has yet to benefit on a large scale from these advances. The complete paper details the introduction of a drilling automation system (DAS) to deliver superior well-construction performance in a major gas field in the Middle East. The DAS was deployed on two onshore gas drilling rigs. The paper discusses the technology itself, the deployment process, implementation challenges, the agile development model, and the results achieved. Introduction In 2018, Schlumberger partnered with a major Middle Eastern national oil company on one of the world’s largest lump-sum, turnkey gas-well-delivery projects, where drilling operations had already been optimized by targeting high-impact, low-effort areas of opportunity. Drilling automation was pursued to achieve an improvement in performance, specifically to shift the technical limit and to minimize the frequency of service incidents that could cost days of nonproductive time (NPT). An in-house solution under development for some time was designed to take control of the rig’s surface equipment to automate and optimize most drilling tasks and to generate value in the following areas: Automation of drilling actions to perform exactly as planned, within the safe limits of operation, by eliminating the inconsistency of manual operation and its susceptibility to human factors Identification and mitigation of drilling dysfunctions that could lead to costly tool failures and incidents by using intelligence engines that would adapt drilling parameters continuously for best performance Technology Overview The DAS was developed as the execution component of a well-construction platform designed to link planning and execution. The planning component allowed for all well-design stakeholders to collaborate online and create the well plan simultaneously. Once prepared, the plan would be exported to the rig as a machine-interpretable digital drilling plan that the DAS could digest. With the validation of rig personnel, the DAS would then take control of a selection of drilling actions and execute exactly as instructed in the well plan. While drilling, extensive information would be collected to serve as a vehicle to drive performance when planning future wells. In the deployment summarized in the complete paper, a pilot version of the drilling automation module was deployed as a standalone product. The key objectives of design included three categories - dynamic planning, safety and resilience, and interoperability.

Full textAbstract:
The assessment of safety hazards is fundamental to an effective risk management in any industry. Food and beverage production involves a variety of industrial processes with associated hazards. Effective safety practices are used to reduce workplace hazards and promote safety in the work environment. This paper evaluated safety hazards and safety practices in the food and beverage industry (FBI) in South-South, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire designed in accordance with World Health Organization standard was administered to a total of 144 workers, out of which 134 (93.0%) were completed and returned. The questionnaire was fashioned to extract information on types of hazards, awareness of safety hazards, implementation of hazards and risks control measures and the effectiveness of safety hazards and risk management programmes in the food and beverage industry. A modified four-point Likert Scale was used to analyze and evaluate the questionnaire. A Proportional Importance Index (PII) was used to rank each factor variable in the questionnaire. The study identified the major hazards in the FBI as working at height (with PII = 3.3, respondents = 91%); high voltage areas (PII = 3.1 and respondents = 90%), loud noise (PII = 3.0, respondents = 80%), machines and equipment vibration (PII = 2.8, respondents = 69%) and faulty machines and equipment (PII = 2.7, respondents = 65%). The level of awareness on safety hazards amongst the workers was statistically significant (p < 0.05, 95%CI; PII = 3.1 - 3.6). The outcome of intervention showed that FBI-2 improved from 79.62% to 96.82%, FBI-3 improved from 89.81% to 96.18%, FBI-4 improved from 78.34% to 95.54% on worker’s knowledge on the assessment of hazards and risk in the FBIs. There was effective implementation of safety hazards and risks management programmes and controls in the FBI. Administrative control measures are used to reduce hazards and workers make adequate use of personnel protective equipment. There is need to evaluate the risks associated with identified high ranking hazards and develop a risk management framework for the industry based on ISO 31000 and other relevant safety regulations and guidelines.

Full textAbstract:
According to the top-priority trends and challenges in the mineral sector, and as per the mining science strategy, it is highly critical to arrange enhanced control, prediction and safety of production objects and their functioning for the preservation of automation sustainability. Improved control of databases, regulatory bonds, management, logistics and principles of sustainable development in mining makes it possible to reduce technological deviations and accidents at large mining and processing plants. Most procedural violations and accidents in surface and underground mines occur because of the unskilled actions of process flow operators. Damage in this case can be considerable, especially as compared with the expenses connected with qualitative training and persistent development of personnel engaged with supervisory control and data acquisition for the efficient operation of SCADA-systems within the automation framework of mining and processing plants. Definition of digital systems and their interrelation with multilevel automated control can be incorrect. The review of new principles can awaken interest in the conceptual assessment of digitalization processes using such notions as: numerical models, simulator, and artificial intelligence. Often applied formulations and principles of a digital model are substituted without justification of functional connections. On the other hand, a digital system today can be assumed as robotic lines and other numerical models and smart technologies, for instance, machining stations with numerical program control. It is necessary to define the practical significance of conceptual modifications and digital transformation regarding objects of the mineral sector, using Big Data; to understand how a digital twin can influence a changeable process situation; to provide prompt prediction; to eliminate an accident; and to preserve the physical balance in the whole production system. Such intelligent and flexible productions particularly need computerbased simulators and digital twins based on technologies of Industry 4.0–extended and virtual reality on the basis of digital twins. Digital twins allow maximal simulation of real-life activity of process flow operators. The skills acquired by personnel after such simulation training enable operators to master the optimized procedure for functioning in emergency situations in mineral mining and processing. This paper exemplifies the remote training and control of process flows, which is of concern in the current international situation.

PurposeCorrect and well-planned maintenance based on modern global methods directly affects efficiency, quality, direct production costs, reliability and profitability. The selection of an optimal policy for maintenance can be a good solution for industrial units. In fact, by managing constraints such as costs, working hours and human workforce causing sudden equipment failure, production and performance can increase.Design/methodology/approachTherefore, in this research a model was presented to select the best maintenance strategy at Kaghaz Kar Kasra Co of Iran. In this study, it was tried to integrate the two techniques of goal programming and the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) to prioritize maintenance strategies. First, all factors affecting maintenance were identified, and based on the Best Worst Method (BWM) the degree of their importance was determined.FindingsAfter the evaluation, only 14 criteria in the 4 dimensions of cost, added value, safety and feasibility were selected. The highest points were given to the criteria of equipment cost and depreciation, equipment and personnel performance, equipment installation time and technical feasibility, respectively. In the next stage, using the TOPSIS method the item of maintenance strategy was ranked, and the 3 strategies of preventive maintenance (PM), predictive maintenance (PDM) and corrective maintenance (CM) were chosen. Modeling was performed utilizing a goal programming approach to select the optimal maintenance strategy for 13 devices. All the technical specifications, cost limits and the device time were extracted. After the model was finished and solved the best item for each device was specified.Originality/value1.
