Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Quality))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2011.This research project in Procurement Quality Engineering was conducted at a Nuclear Power Generation Company in the Western Cape, South Africa. During the past decade, quality management has become increasingly recognised as highly desirable for all organisations at all levels. All organisations, to varied degrees, can benefit from the application of quality management skills in some parts of their daily operations. The research project will investigate the impact or effect of late deliveries of spares on the operational cost of the organisation. The organisation is not aware what impact the delivery of spares has on operating costs. Against the above background, the problem to be researched within the ambit of this dissertation reads as follows: "Poor product and / or service delivery from Vendors and / or Suppliers have an adverse impact on the output of the Procurement Quality Department" .The primary research objectives of this study are the following: ~ To emphasise the importance of quality within the supply chain. ~ To investigate the impact of non-conforming items delivered to a Nuclear Power Plant. ~ To determine measures which can be put in place to improve communication between suppliers, vendors, buyers and procurement quality engineering. ~ To determine or investigate the cost of poor quality in the organisation. ~ To improve the quality of goods and services through the application of a quality management system within the supply chain. The research method used in this research project involved both qualitative and quantitative research processes. Questionnaires and statistical techniques were used to analyse the data, and to draw conclusions and recommend possible areas for improvement. The research methodology falls within the ambit of a case study.

Abstract:
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2007.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research report presents a framework for designing a procurement strategy using the concept of Power. Companies like Toyota have pioneered the use of the “lean thinking” concept of supply chain management to ensure that the entire supply chain co-operates to build a competitive advantage that saves money and provides a better product to the consumer. The basis of the “lean thinking” concept has been that buyers no longer treat suppliers as adversaries with the sole objective of leveraging the best price but engage with suppliers to develop long-term strategic relationships based on trust and collaboration. Power has always existed in business relationships. Power and the “lean thinking” concept appear to be unable to co-exist in the same supply chain relationships as one deals with trust and collaboration while the other deals with domination. This research reports shows that power and “lean thinking” can co-exist and that power has the potential to play a key role in understand the dynamics present in supply chain relationships both from the perspective of the buyer and the supplier. By mapping the power relationship between parties in the Supply Chain a company can understand the strategic options available to it to increase its impact on the supply chain and to use its position to leverage the best value possible both towards the other parties in the supply chain and to parties operating in competing supply chains. The power relationship between The South African Breweries Ltd and Consol Glass will be mapped to enable SAB to understand its available strategic options for the design of a 3 to 5 year procurement strategy. The strategies that crystallize from the power mapping process will be analysed with a view to selecting a single option that the SAB procurement function could adopt over the next 3 to 5 years.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsingsverslag bied 'n raamwerk vir die ontwerp van 'n verkrygingstrategie met behulp van die konsep van mag. Maatskappye soos Toyota het met die gebruik van die “soepel denke”-konsep met betrekking tot aanvoerkettingbestuur baanbrekerswerk gedoen om te verseker dat die algehele aanvoerketting saamwerk om 'n mededingende voordeel te skep wat geld spaar én 'n beter produk aan die verbruiker bied. Die grondslag van die “soepel denke”-konsep is dat kopers nie meer verskaffers as teenstanders beskou en ten alle koste bloot die beste prys wil bewerkstellig nie, maar dat kopers in der waarheid deesdae nouer by verskaffers betrokke raak om langtermyn- strategiese bande op grond van vertroue en samewerking te smee. Mag was nog altyd deel van sakeverhoudinge. Mag en die “soepel denke”-konsep kon tot op hede skynbaar nie naas mekaar in dieselfde aanvoerkettingverhouding bestaan nie – die een handel op stuk van sake oor vertroue en samewerking, en die ander oor oorheersing. Hierdie navorsingsverslag toon dat mag en “soepel denke” wél gelyktydig kan bestaan en dat mag 'n sleutelrol kan speel om die dinamiek in aanvoerkettingbestuursverhoudinge, uit die koper sowel as die verskaffer se oogpunt, te begryp. Deur die magsverhoudinge tussen verskillende partye in die aanvoerketting af te beeld, kan 'n maatskappy verstaan watter strategiese opsies beskikbaar is om sy impak op die aanvoerketting te vergroot en sy posisie te gebruik om vir die ander partye in die aanvoerketting, sowel as partye in mededingende aanvoerkettings, die beste moontlike waarde te bekom. Vervolgens sal die magsverhouding tussen Suid-Afrikaanse Brouerye (SAB) Bpk. en Consol Glass afgebeeld word sodat SAB sy beskikbare opsies vir die ontwerp van 'n drie- tot vyfjaarverkrygingstrategie kan verstaan. Die strategieë wat uit dié magafbeeldingsproses na vore kom sal ontleed word met die oog daarop om 'n enkele opsie te kies wat SAB oor die volgende drie tot vyf jaar kan aanvaar.

Edlund, Marcus, and Daniel Eriksson. "Potential for – and benefits from – local content in Swedish wind power projects." Thesis, KTH, Hållbarhet och industriell dynamik, 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-149328.
Abstract:
The construction of wind power is strongly associated with negative local externalities in terms of noise, shadows, visual impact and effects on local environment. To compensate for these negative effects, wind developers seek to find methods to create more local value. The purpose of this study has thus been to identify and evaluate potential methods to increase the local value creation from onshore wind power projects, mainly in the Swedish context. Firstly, from the literature review and interviews, four different approaches to create local value has been identified. The four identified methods to create local value are (1) community funds, (2) local ownership, (3) modernization and (4) local content. Of these identified methods, local content is deemed to have most potential in creating local value. The use of local content has generally been strong in the UK, why this study comprises a field study that reveal that British wind developers manage to appoint up to 20-30 % of the total capital expenditure to local companies. Compared to Sweden, the same number is as little asone percent. The explanation to this significant difference could be explained by “three I:s”,, namely, (1) Identification of local companies, (2) Information of opportunities and requirements and (3) Incentive creation for the main contractors. For Swedish developers to overcome the problems associated with the three I:s, the study presents seven activities that are possible to implement directly into the development process of wind power. Together these activities create a comprehensive way of enhancing the possibility for local companies to be involved in the construction phase, and by doing so, increasing the local value creation.

Abstract:
Initially the exercise of sanctioning powers is contextualized in the field of government procurement in Colombia, regulatory and jurisprudential development of this power and the procedure envisaged by the legislature for the imposition of sanctions is exposed when a violation or breach of it becomes apparent the contractor’s obligations, specifying the scope and gaps that the process involves. Then the consecration of the sanctioning power of the administration is presented in the Peruvian law, marking the differences with the model adopted by the Colombian law, to conclude with some perspectives on the subject.Inicialmente se contextualiza el ejercicio de la potestad sancionadora en el ámbito de la contratación estatal en Colombia. Se expone el desarrollo normativo y jurisprudencial de esta facultad y el procedimiento que ha previsto el legislador para la imposición de sanciones cuando se evidencie una infracción o incumplimiento de las obligaciones del contratista, precisándose el alcance y los vacíos que el procedimiento comporta. En seguida, se presenta la consagración de la potestad sancionadora de la administración en el derecho peruano, marcando las diferencias con el modelo adoptado por la legislación colombiana, para concluir con algunas perspectivas sobre el tema.

Louth, John. "A low dishonest decade ... : smart acquisition and defence procurement into the new millennium." Thesis, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10369/944.
Abstract:
Smart acquisition was the change programme introduced at the end of the twentieth century charged with transforming the effectiveness of defence procurement within the United Kingdom. The initiative was rolled-out as a cornerstone of the Blair government’s strategic defence initiative from 1998 onwards and represents, today, the management philosophy, public sector organisational structures and UK industrial strategy for delivering defence equipment. This research seeks to understand the manner and extent of changes to defence procurement derived from the smart acquisition initiative, viewed as a ‘technology’ through which government exercises power. Accordingly, understanding smart acquisition develops and deepens our knowledge of the nature of government itself. I offer, initially, in chapters 1 and 2 an introduction to smart acquisition, its background and historical antecedence. I discuss the methodology employed for interrogating the phenomenon as an auto/ethnographical study of UK defence practices. Chapter 3 details the factors that drove defence reorganisation, whilst chapter 4 derives smart acquisition as rational and benign managerial change. Chapter 5 critiques this perspective by unveiling smart acquisition as a neoliberal construct through which government procures and cements assemblages of regimes of control and socialisation, legitimised through managerial narratives and governmentalist forms. A revised critical analytical model of smart acquisition embracing governmentalist notions is, consequently, provided in chapter 6. Chapter 7 introduces a specific defence procurement project team and describes its transformation strategy and emerging business model. In chapter 8 the project team is superficially revealed as a rational change agent embedding and embracing management reform. Chapter 9 critiques this, presenting the team as a constructed governmentalist regime, an expression of control, socialisation and surrender of agency. Chapter 10 concludes the research by observing that smart acquisition is a complex set of understandings and a multiplicity of forms and discourses.

Abstract:
Although Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) is often seen as a powerful tool to drive sustainability across its supply chain, there is little available research in terms of how SPP actually influences its suppliers’ sustainability practices and what challenges are being faced during the process. In this study, we shed light on both issues by exploring SPP using Institutional and Power Dependence Theory in the context of the surgical instrument industry in Sweden. Methodologically, the study is grounded in an exploratory design and employs in-depth interviews with multiple stakeholders to gain a holistic understanding of the phenomena being studied. The study revealed that SPP mainly influences suppliers by requiring them to evaluate their own sustainability practices, engage in collaborative actions and make alterations when they fail to comply with the contractual terms.The most significant challenge resulted to be the lack of resources, resulting in the inability to perform sufficient follow-ups, engage in meaningful conversations with suppliers and procurers having to buy unsustainable products because of their tight budgets. Another major challenge was Sweden’s forerunner position when it comes to SPP on an international level, resulting in reluctancy on the part of international suppliers to alter their sustainability practices.

Abstract:
The establishment of the limits between the public law and the private law has been a hard to clarify. For that reason, the author brings a perspective about this division, focusing on the case of public procurement. Thus, in the first part he will explain the division between public law and private law, and how this division has evolved. Then, he will explain the consequences of the disruption of unitary theory on public procurement. Finally, he will show the inequality of the parts, the public prerogatives and the compensatory guarantees, all involved in the peculiarities of management contract, that distinguishes it from an private contract.La determinación de la frontera ente el derecho privado y el derecho público siempre ha sido una situación complicada de esclarecer. Por tal motivo, el autor brinda una perspectiva sobreesta división pero enfocándola, principalmente, al escenario de la contratación pública. Así,en un primer momento explicará la división entre el derecho privado y el derecho públicoy cómo esta ha ido evolucionando con el devenir del tiempo; luego nos explicará quéimplica el abandono de la tesis unitaria en el escenario de la contratación pública, para,finalmente, mostrarnos que la desigualdad de las partes, las prerrogativas del poder públicoy las garantías compensatorias se encuentran dentro de las peculiaridades que exhibe lateoría del contrato administrativo y la distinguen de un contrato entre particulares que se circunscribe en el ámbito de derecho privado.

Abstract:
Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African Government developed the REIPPPP to ensure the implementation of Green Economy and job creation policies, while mitigating the current power crises with the short lead times of RE technologies. Current South African literature is ambiguous when discussing the legitimacy of the REIPPPP and the overall understanding of the programme and its associated outcomes in terms of job creation, are therefore, vague. A need therefore exists to unpack the quantitative job creation submissions of the REIPPPP and to carry out an investigation into the opportunities and challenges associated with meaningful job creation. Through a non-linear iterative exploratory design, hinging on the researcher’s position within industry, this empirical research comprises of two components. Firstly, a literature study informs the development of a meaningful job creation framework which is used to analyse the programme’s bid documentation and publicly available data. Secondly, mixed-methods are utilised to collect quantitative data from the DoE and qualitative data from job creation stakeholders. The result is an enriched understanding of the REIPPPP in terms of meaningful job creation, identifying trends, similarities and unexpected outcomes across methods. The study concludes that the programme does create meaningful jobs yet data is misaligned and currently unavailable to the public. Secondly, since job creation is a feature of South African Government development policy, a more robust emphasis is required in the REIPPPP weighting and auditing process, which includes further research of intended benefits and suggested improvements to align job creation data.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Suid-Afrikaanse regering het die hernubare energie onafhanklike kragprodusent verkrygingsprogram ontwikkel om die voorsiening van die werksskeppingsbeleid en groen-ekonomiebelied te verseker. Huidige Suid-Afrikaanse letterkunde is dubbelsinnig wanneer die wettigheid van die program bespreek word. Die algehele begrip van die program en sy geassosieerde uitkoms is dus vaag. Daar is n behoefte om die kwantitatiewe werkskeppingvoorleggings te analiseer en om ondersoek in te stel in die geleenthede en uitdagings wat geassosieer word met betekenisvolle werkskepping. Deur n nie- lineêre iteratiewe ondersoekende ontwerp, wat gebaseer is op die navorser se posisie in die industrie, bestaan hieride empiriese navorsing, uit twee komponente. Eerstens, lig n literatuurstudie die ontwikkeling van n betekenisvolle werkskeppingsraamwerk in, en word gebruik om die program se boddokumentasie en publieke data te analiseer. Tweedens, word gemengde metodes gebruik om kwantitatiewe data van die departement van energie te versamel asook kwalitatiewe data van werkskeppingbelanghebbendes. Die resultaat is n meer verrykende verstandhouding van die hernubare energie onafhanklike kragprodusent verkrygingsprogram in terme van betekenisvolle werkskepping asook die identifisering van tendense en onverwagse uitkomste. Die studie kom tot die gevolgtrekking dat die program nie betekenisvolle werk skep nie en is tans onbeskikbaar vir die publiek. Tweedens, aangesien werkskepping 'n kenmerk is van die Suid-Afrikaanse regering se ontwikkelingsbeleid, word 'n meer robuuste klem vereis op die hernubare energie onafhanklike kragprodusent verkrygingsprogram se ouditeringsproses en verdere navorsing van die beoogde voordele word voorgestel.

Eriksson, Andreas, Juho Siren, and Gabriella Hertzman-Ericson. "The Power of Behaviour on Client Perception of Corporate Brand : A Case Study of a Swedish Consultancy Firm within Public Procurement." Thesis, Linnéuniversitetet, Institutionen för marknadsföring (MF), 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:lnu:diva-54231.
Abstract:
The aspect of relationships has been underlined to be of substantial significant within B2B contexts, particularly within consultancy, all alongside the importance of trust within the clientsupplier interaction. An element that has been claimed to derive directly from the client-supplier experience and voiced to be of key in order to reach success. It has been stated that the behaviour of consultants can be generalized to the corporate brand, individual demeanours and actions declared to be of essential influence of affecting customer perception of the company and its brand. It has been remarked that, “employees are the public face of the organization, and their performance affects customers' interpretation of the brand”. Public procurement has been described as a process for the purchase of goods and services made by the public sector, procurements regulated by LOU, i.e. special laws and regulations. All member states of the European Union are subjective to procurement directives, injunctions regulating each procurement. In service marketing, traditionally, clients have relied on long-term relationships or been guided by recommendations from external parties when selecting supplier. Public procurement regulations have enclosed such use of informal selection bases, whereas instead requirements for supplier are obliged to be based on objective criteria and non-personal sources. The restriction of non personal-relationships between client and supplier derived the problem question of potential consequences the regulation might bear. Thereupon, the purpose of this study was to examine the corporate brand image of a knowledge- intensive service firm operating within the public sector. The empirical findings for this study were collected through semi-structured interviews with 5 Swedish customers of Ecenea Väst, a consultancy firm operating within the public sector. The role of the theory were of abductive view, were theory was developed, refined and adjusted throughout the process. The findings of the interviews where analysed using a content analysis approach. The empirical investigation of this study confirms previous studies arguing for the importance of relationship and trust within service marketing, particularly consultancy. It also concluded that it is the behavior of the consultants that influence the client's perception of the company’s image and brand.

Abstract:
Distributed generators (DGs) are proposed as a possible solution to supply
economic and reliable electricity to customers. It is adapted to overcome the
challenges that are characterized by centralized generation such as
transmission and distribution losses, high cost of fossil fuels and environmental
damage. This work presents the basic principles of integrating renewable DGs
in low voltage distribution networks and particularly focuses on the operation
of DG installations and their impacts on active and reactive power.
In this thesis, a novel technique that applies the stochastic approach for the
operation of distribution networks with considering active network
management (ANM) schemes and demand response (DR) within a joint active
and reactive distribution market environment is proposed. The projected model
is maximized based on social welfare (SW) using market-based joint active
and reactive optimal power flow (OPF). The intermittent behaviour of
renewable sources (such as solar irradiance and wind speed) and the load
demands are modelled through Scenario-Tree technique. The distributed
network frame is recast using mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) that is
solved by using the GAMS software and then the obtained results are being
analysed and discussed. In addition, the impact of wind and solar power
penetration on the active and reactive distribution locational prices (D-LMPs)
within the distribution market environment is explored in terms of the
maximization of SW considering the uncertainty related to solar irradiance,
wind speed and load demands. Finally, a realistic case study (16-bus UK
generic medium voltage distribution system) is used to demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed method. Results show that ANM schemes and
DR integration lead to an increase in the social welfare and total dispatched
active and reactive power and consequently decrease in active and reactive
D-LMPs.Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research - Iraq

Abstract:
O objetivo principal deste trabalho é identificar quais são os possíveis impactos que a adoção de um novo modelo de contratação de empreendimentos populares pela Caixa Econômica Federal (CAIXA) tem sobre a promoção da inovação e da sustentabilidade na cadeia brasileira da construção civil. Apesar de possuir diversas definições, o conceito mais aceito de sustentabilidade é a capacidade de atender as necessidades do presente sem impedir que as futuras gerações satisfaçam suas necessidades. O movimento em prol da sustentabilidade vem se fortalecendo rapidamente no mundo no início deste século XXI, instigando a sociedade civil a repensar seu comportamento de consumo, impactando diretamente sobre o comportamento de produção das empresas. Neste processo de mudança, a capacidade de inovar, isto é, de produzir novos conhecimentos ou aplicar de maneira diferentes conhecimentos existentes, é estratégica para que as empresas possam se adaptar a este novo contexto em que a sustentabilidade é requisito de participação no mercado. Um modelo de compra estratégica de empreendimentos populares baseado em desempenho, ao modificar a metodologia de seleção, contratação e acompanhamento das construtoras se apresenta como uma maneira do Estado influenciar o setor brasileiro da construção civil em direção à sustentabilidade. Através de uma pesquisa exploratória teórica, apresentamos uma forma de aplicação do modelo de compra estratégica baseada em desempenho desenvolvida nos Estados Unidos no início dos anos 1990 e identificamos seu potencial em estimular a sustentabilidade, devido principalmente à maneira como são descritas as características dos empreendimentos a serem construídos, e a inovação, devido à maneira como se dá a relação entre proponentes e a CAIXA durante o processo de seleção dos empreendimentos. A principal conclusão desta pesquisa é que o modelo apresentado tem um potencial muito maior que o atual em promover a inovação e a sustentabilidade no setor brasileiro da construção civil, uma vez que apresenta novos papéis e uma nova dinâmica de relacionamento entre todos os agentes envolvidos na implantação da política pública de habitação.The main purpose of this research is to identify the possible impacts the adoption of a new purchasing model of popular buildings by Caixa Econômica Federal (CAIXA) has on the promotion of innovation and sustainability in the Brazilian building chain. Despite several definitions, the most accepted concept of sustainable development is the development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The sustainability movement is quickly getting stronger in the beginning of the 21st century, urging civil society to rethink its consumption pattern. This has a direct impact over companies production pattern. On this change process, the ability to innovate, that is, to develop new knowledge or apply in different matters the existing knowledge, is strategic to companies adapt to this new context where sustainability is a condition to keep in market. A performance-based procurement model of popular housing, once it modifies the methodology of selection, award and monitoring building companies, becomes a way to the State promote the Brazilian building sector towards sustainability. Through a theoretical exploratory research, we present a model of performance-based procurement developed in the USA in the 1990´s and we identify its potential to promote sustainability and innovation, mainly due to the way the request for proposal is done. The main finding of this research is that the presented model has a greater potential than the actual one to foster innovation and sustainability in the Brazilian building sector, once it presents new roles and a new relationship dynamics among all agents involved in the implementation of the public housing policy.

Zerri, Caterina. "Metodologie per la valutazione degli impatti ambientali secondo gli standard europei applicate ai cantieri stradali: il caso della città di Bologna." Master's thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2019.
Abstract:
Un'altissima percentuale delle risorse non rinnovabili del nostro pianeta viene utilizzata nell’industria delle costruzioni. Per questo motivo essa viene considerata come la meno sostenibile tra le industrie al mondo, e sempre per questo rappresenta una destinazione prioritaria per la formulazione di modelli di valutazione di sostenibilità ambientale che vengono attualmente utilizzati ed implementati in diversi altri ambiti.
In questa tesi vengono definite le metodologie per la valutazione degli impatti ambientali esistenti più largamente utilizzate e le conseguenti misure di controllo ed incentivo all’utilizzo di tecnologie maggiormente sostenibili per l’ambiente che derivano dalle considerazioni da esse ottenute.
In un contesto come quello attuale, in cui è necessaria una continua spinta in direzione dell’innovazione ecosostenibile, una leva fondamentale può essere rappresentata dalle Pubbliche Amministrazioni, cui dobbiamo il 19% del prodotto interno lordo mondiale. Esse infatti, se dotate di strumenti rivolti al verificare ed incentivare la sostenibilità ambientale, sono in grado di innescare un circolo virtuoso per permettere alle imprese coinvolte nell’industria delle costruzioni di adeguarsi alle nuove richieste, rendendole in questo modo più accessibili anche nel contesto privato.
In particolare in questa tesi viene posta l’attenzione al caso della città di Bologna relativamente al settore dei cantieri stradali, settore in cui gli enti pubblici hanno una decisiva influenza e conseguentemente le loro scelte in materia hanno maggiore peso. Si esamina il Capitolato Speciale d’Appalto e la sua attenzione alle nuove tecnologie maggiormente eco sostenibili, indicando alcune possibili modifiche apportabili per adeguarlo alle precedenti considerazioni, in attesa ed in vista dell’uscita dei CAM (Criteri Ambientali Minimi) nazionali ed alla loro prossima notevole influenza nella stesura dei bandi di concorso da parte della pubblica amministrazione.

The use of natural resources has always been an essential element in the development and reproduction of human life. The increase in discussion regarding the consumption patterns of industrial societies and subsequent environmental impacts has led to the perception of the State as a significant consumer of goods and services. In response, various countries have adopted and passed guidelines and methodologies, including sustainability criteria, within their procurement practices, a practice that became known as sustainable public procurement (SPP). This study analyzes the implementation of SPP within the Brazilian Federal Executive Power. Probability sampling was used to achieve the established goals of the analysis. 24 ministries were considered as populations from which a sample of 12 ministries was obtained using a confidence level of 95% and a percent error level of 3. The procurement practices from 2010 to 2013 of the sampled agencies were analyzed. An analysis of the implementation practices used by SPP of the Federal Executive Power was realized observing the stages of the PDCA cycle. Primary data was collected from representatives of each agency through verbally administered structured questionnaires. The research demonstrated that the instruments developed for the implementation of SPP practices emphasize the mitigation of environmental impact at the expense of social aspects. Taking into account the legal and institutional instruments created by the Federal Executive Power since 2010, it was concluded that the SPP policy utilized by the Brazilian Federal Executive Power has a solid basis. However, the research highlights the underuse of these tools, particularly by sample agencies. The underutilized goals of SPP implementation within the Plan of Action for Sustainable Production and Consumption (PSPC) are duplicated in the Sustainable Logistics Plan (SLP), and elaborated by the sampled agencies. Limiting factors identified were the absence of clear targets and goals within the entities and agencies of the Federal Public Administration, and the lack of managerial support within the sampled populations. Furthermore, it was observed that the absence of systemized data makes it impossible to evaluate progress toward achieving the goals set by the agency, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of the Brazilian Federal Executive Power’s SSP policy.

Para possibilitar o alcance dos objetivos estabelecidos, promoveu-se a utilização da amostragem probabilística. O total de 24 ministérios foi considerado como população a partir da qual foi obtido uma amostra de 12 ministérios, utilizando-se um nível de confiança de 95% e um erro máximo de 3 pontos percentuais. Foram analisadas as contratações realizadas pelos órgãos da amostra nos anos de 2010 a 2013. A análise da implementação da política de CPS do Poder Executivo Federal foi realizada observando as etapas do “ciclo PDCA”. Foram utilizados dados primários, levantados através de questionários estruturados aplicados oralmente junto ao representante de cada órgão integrante da amostra. A pesquisa evidenciou que os instrumentos desenvolvidos para a implementação de práticas de CPS privilegiam as medidas voltadas para a mitigação dos impactos ambientais, em detrimento dos aspectos sociais. Restou demonstrado que a política de CPS do Poder Executivo Federal brasileiro expressa uma sólida base, considerando os instrumentos legais e institucionais editados pelo Poder Executivo Federal desde o ano de 2010. No entanto, a pesquisa evidenciou o subaproveitamento desses instrumentos, em especial, pelos órgãos integrantes da amostra. As metas pouco ousadas do Plano de Ação para Produção e Consumo Sustentáveis (PPCS), acerca da implementação das CPS, se repetem nos PLS dos órgãos integrantes da amostra. Restaram identificados como principais fatores limitantes a ausência de metas claras e objetivas que abrangessem todos os órgãos e entidades da Administração Pública Federal e a falta de apoio do grupo de direção dos órgãos integrantes da amostra. Além disso, constatouse que a ausência de dados sistematizados impossibilita a avaliação do progresso no alcance de metas estabelecidas pelo órgão, bem assim da efetividade da política de CPS do Poder Executivo Federal.

Abstract:
The integration of dispatchable renewable energies like biomass, geothermal and reservoir hydro technologies into an electrical network present no greater challenge than the integration of conventional power technologies for which are well understood by Eskom engineers. However, renewable energies that are based on resources that fluctuate throughout the day and from season to season, like wind and solar, introduce a number of challenges that Eskom engineers have not dealt with before.
It is current practice for Eskom‟s generation to follow the load in order to balance the demand and supply. Through Eskom‟s load dispatching desk at National Control, generator outputs are adjusted on an hourly basis with balancing reserves making up only a small fraction of the total generation.
Through the Integrated Resource Plan for Electricity of 2010, the Department of Energy has set some targets towards integrating renewable energy, including wind and solar generation, into the South African electricity market consequently introducing variability on the supply side.
With demand that varies continually, maintaining a steady balance between supply and demand is already a challenging task. When the supply also becomes variable and less certain with the introduction of non-dispatchable renewable energy, the task becomes even more challenging.
The aim of this research study is to determine whether the resources that previously helped to balance the variability in demand will still be adequate to balance variability in both demand and supply. The study will only concentrate on variable or non-dispatchable renewable energies as will be added to the South African electrical network according to the first two rounds of the Department of Energy‟s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme.
This research study only looks into the balancing challenge and does not go into an analysis of voltage stability or network adequacy, both of which warrant in depth analysis.Thesis (MIng (Development and Management Engineering))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

Bordalo, Faustino Paula. "Public procurement award criteria in the EU member states : a comparative study of the discretionary powers of contracting authorities." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/43554/.
Abstract:
When choosing and applying the award criteria in the context of public procurement procedures, contracting authorities exercise their discretionary powers with a view to selecting the most economically advantageous tender. The importance of the use that contracting authorities make of their margin of discretion is directly related to the result of any public procurement procedure: the level of satisfaction of the contracting authorities’ needs provided by the works/supply/service contract concluded with the winning tenderer. Despite the tendency for public procurement regulation to focus on procedural rules (‘how to buy’), rather than the actual outcome of the procurement activity itself (‘what to buy’), there are substantive requirements derived from legislative sources, as well as soft law and jurisprudence, that somehow structure the contracting authorities’ decision making freedom. Although there is no standard unit that allows for the measurement of contracting authorities’ margin of discretion and its variation, this thesis aims to identify factors which contribute either to increase or to reduce the said margin. In other words, it is proposed to highlight the elements which determine the expansion or the limitation of the referred discretionary powers. The thesis concludes that despite the different national regulatory approaches to this topic under the common EU legal framework, the practice in the Member States covered by this thesis seems to indicate that contracting authorities exercise their discretionary powers in a (unknowingly) similar way.

Ajjoub, Muhannad. "La notion de liberté contractuelle en droit administratif français." Thesis, Paris 2, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA020016.
Abstract:
Conclure sur le sujet de la liberté contractuelle en droit administratif français n’est pas chose aisée. Cela dépend, essentiellement, de la façon de poser la problématique. Ainsi, si la question est de savoir si les personnes publiques disposent, à l’instar des particuliers, d’une liberté contractuelle, la réponse, dans le meilleur des cas, est qu’il s’agit d’une liberté à caractère particulier. En effet, en pratique, cette liberté est très restreinte, ses manifestations sont marginales, ce qui empêche véritablement de parler de « liberté heureuse ». Mais si la question est de savoir si le droit administratif français, à partir de ses particularités, de son originalité ainsi que de ses règles normatives, permet de reconnaître une telle liberté en faveur des personnes publiques, alors la réponse est négative. L’intérêt général, les prérogatives de la puissance publique, la compétence, la souveraineté, l’efficacité de la commande publique, la bonne utilisation des deniers publics et les principes fondamentaux de la commande publique,etc., constituent des obstacles fondamentaux non seulement à la reconnaissance de la liberté contractuelle aux personnes publiques mais également à son exercice effectif par ces dernières. Ainsi, certains auteurs ont pu conclure au sujet de la liberté contractuelle des personnes publiques qu’« en théorie elle existe mais, dans la pratique, personne ne l'a jamais vraiment rencontrée"Concluding on the subject of freedom of contract in French administrative law is not easy. It depends essentially on how to raise the issue. So if the question is whether public persons have, as individuals, contractual freedom, the answer, in the best case is that this is a special character to freedom. Indeed, in practice, this freedom is very limited, its manifestations are marginal, which prevents us from truly speaking of a "happy freedom." But if the question is whether the French administrative law, from its peculiarities, its originality and its normative rules can recognize such freedom in favor of public entities, then the answer is negative. The public interest, the prerogatives of public power, competence, sovereignty, efficiency of public procurement, proper use of public money and the fundamental principles of public procurement, etc., are fundamental obstacles not only to the recognition of freedom of contract to public persons but also to the effective exercise by them. Some authors have concluded on the contractual freedom of public persons that "in theory it exists but in practice, nobody really ever met it"

Awarded by:University of New South Wales - Australian Defence Force Academy. School of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2003. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/38665.
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to examine the relationship between the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) regarding the operation of aircraft from ships of the RAN and from RAAF shore bases. The effects of the separate intellectual development of maritime doctrine in the RAAF and RAN, and the efforts of the two Australian services to transfer theory into practice will be considered in the pre- (and post) World War II period, with due consideration of the experience of the services in both wars. The thesis will also discuss the problems that were faced by the RAAF and RAN to develop mutually acceptable operational procedures to enable the efficient use of aircraft in a maritime setting. The influence and effect on RAAF and RAN doctrine and equipment procurement, as a result of the special relationships that developed between the Air Force and Navy of Australia and Britain will be critically examined. A similar approach to the post war US/Australian relationship, and its effect on the Australian services, will also be critically examined. The thesis being propounded is that the development of a unique Australian maritime policy was retarded due to a combination of the relationship with Britain and the United States, lack of suitable equipment, lack of clear operational concepts in both the RAAF and RAN and the parochial attitude of the most senior commanders of both Services. The study has been based on Department of Navy, Department of Air and Department of Defence documents held in the National Archives of Australia in Canberra and Melbourne. In addition, relevant documents from the Admiralty and Air Ministry related to the development of naval aviation on RAN vessels during World War I, the attitude of the RAF toward the deployment of RAAF units to Singapore, and the negotiations that resulted in the procurement of HMA Ships Sydney and Melbourne, have been perused. Wartime operational records of the RAAF have been examined to obtain data to enable a critical study to be made of the RAAF anti-submarine campaign, torpedo bomber operations and the maritime campaign undertaken from bases in North Western Area during World War II. The influence of the commander of the United States 5th Air Force has also been incorporated in the discussion. The research uncovered procedural and operational variations between the two Services, the diversion of key elements from Australian command and the priority given to the American line of advance that resulted in Australian operations being given a secondary, supportive, status. A conclusion reached as a result of this research has been that the development of a unique Australian maritime aerial capability was restricted by the requirement of Britain to deploy flying units to Singapore in 1940. Similarly, the pressure exerted on the RAN by the Admiralty to purchase the Light Fleet Carriers in the late 1940s was more in the interests of the RN and British foreign policy than that of the RAN. Overall, the relationship with the Britain and the United States masked the real weakness in Australia???s maritime operations and retarded its development.

O Estado enquanto grande consumidor de bens e serviços pode utilizar as compras governamentais como uma política pública para induzir a produtividade, controle de qualidade, transferência de tecnologias, desenvolvimento de micro e pequenas empresas e promoção do desenvolvimento econômico e social. Em que pese os governos, órgãos e entidades não governamentais, além pesquisadores do desenvolvimento econômico regional abordarem de diversas formas a relevância das compras governamentais para a promoção do desenvolvimento econômico e social, pouco foi dito sobre resultados quantitativos que pudessem ser utilizados para mensurar os benefícios de se implementar tal política pública. Apesar dos esforços feitos pelo Governo Federal em promover as compras governamentais como políticas públicas regulatórias, melhorando o acesso das micro e pequenas empresas e agricultores familiares às contratações junto aos Governos, existe a necessidade dos gestores públicos municipais colocarem essas políticas públicas em prática. Ciente das limitações estruturais, orçamentária e de pessoal nos municípios brasileiros, o Governo Federal desenha políticas públicas com imposições e obrigações aos municípios para que as ações aconteçam de fato. Isso faz com que os gestores municipais percebam algumas políticas públicas como normas que deverão ser cumpridas e não como uma possibilidade real de promoção do desenvolvimento de sua região. Entendendo o papel dos decisores políticos nos municípios, em especial na formação de agenda e tomada de decisão, esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida com o propósito de ser utilizada como instrumento de persuasão junto aos mesmos. Foi analisada as contratações de pessoal realizadas por micro e pequenas empresas sediadas na Microrregião de São João del Rei, em Minas Gerais, que venceram processos de aquisição junto às prefeituras da mesma microrregião no exercício de 2016. Os resultados mostraram que mais de 5 postos de trabalho foram gerados para cada R$ 1.000.000,00 em contratações junto aos governos municipais.
The State as a major consumer of goods and services can use government purchases as a public policy to induce productivity, quality control, technology transfer, development of micro and small-sized enterprises, and as the promotion of economic and social development. In spite of the fact that governments, agencies, non-governmental entities and researchers of regional economic development address in various ways the relevance of government purchases for the promotion of economic and social development, there is limited quantitative information to be used as a measure of the benefits of implementing such public policies. Despite the efforts made by the Federal Government to promote government procurement as a regulatory public policy, improving the access of micro and small-sized enterprises and family farmers to government contracts, there is still the need for the Municipal Public Managers to implement and put such public policies into practice. Considering the structural, budgetary and personnel constraints in most Brazilian Municipalities, the Federal Government drafts public policies imposing responsibilities on local governments to ensure such policies are, in fact, executed and carried through. The Municipality, however, perceive these public policies only as additional obligations to be fulfilled, instead of understanding them as a real opportunity to promote and enhance development in their region. This research has the purpose of being an additional tool in the persuasion of policy makers in Brazilian Municipalities, taking into consideration their process of establishing guidelines and decision-making. We analyzed the personnel hiring by micro and small-sized enterprises located in the small town of São João del Rei in the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais, which won procurement processes in counties located in the same area for the fiscal year 2016. The results show that more than five jobs were created for each R$ 1,000,000.00 in contracts with local governments.

Lahouazi, Mehdi. "Le développement des modes alternatifs de réglement des différends dans les contrats administratifs." Thesis, Lyon, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LYSE3056.
Abstract:
Le développement des modes alternatifs de règlement des différends dans les contrats administratifs est une nécessité. En effet, l’encombrement des juridictions administratives, conjugué au besoin d’un règlement des différends plus consensuel et apaisé, plaide en faveur de l’émergence d’une justice alternative. Néanmoins, l’ordre public encadrant l’activité des personnes publiques, et protégé par des normes impératives, impose que le développement des modes alternatifs soit régulé. À ce titre, l’étude du droit positif démontre que ce phénomène n’est pas inconnu dans le règlement des différends intéressant les contrats administratifs. Par exemple, les parties à un différend peuvent déjà librement recourir aux modes amiables (médiation, conciliation ou transaction), et quelques dérogations au principe d’interdiction faite aux personnes publiques de recourir à l’arbitrage sont prévues. Cela étant, les lacunes et les défaillances du régime actuel des modes alternatifs dans les contrats administratifs (absence de véritable statut du médiateur, défaut d’encadrement de la conciliation inter partes, complexité de la notion de concessions réciproques ou, encore, difficulté pour le juge administratif d’asseoir sa compétence en matière d’arbitrage international...) complexifient leur compréhension et leur mise en œuvre et risquent, par suite, d’accroître les violations de l’ordre public. Il est donc nécessaire de proposer un régime pérenne des modes alternatifs permettant d’assurer, d’une part, la protection des normes impératives du droit public et, d’autre part, la liberté des parties dans le choix et la conduite d’une justice alternative. Pour cela, leur futur régime devra autoriser l’arbitrage dans les contrats administratifs et le doter de garanties procédurales prenant en compte sa nature spécifique mais, aussi, certaines caractéristiques inhérentes aux personnes publiques et au droit administratif. De même, les procédures de médiation et de conciliation devront être améliorées afin d’assurer aux parties, un encadrement souple et favorable à la conclusion de transactions équilibrées et sécurisées. Enfin, ce régime devra définitivement consacrer le rôle du juge administratif. À cet effet, ce dernier pourra être amené à assister les parties dans la mise en œuvre des modes alternatifs (création d’un juge administratif d’appui dans l’arbitrage, combinaison des procédures de référé avec les modes amiables...). Le juge administratif devra être aussi chargé du contrôle de conformité de la solution alternative à l’ordre public. Cette attribution de compétence, qui résonne de plus fort en matière d’arbitrage international, est indispensable à la protection de l’intérêt public. Ce n’est qu’à ces conditions, que le développement des modes alternatifs de règlement des différends pourra prendre toute sa place dans les contrats administratifsThe development of alternative dispute resolution in administrative contracts is a necessity. Indeed, the congestion of the administrative courts, combined with the need for a more consensual and calm settlement of disputes, pleads in favour of the emergence of an alternative justice. Nevertheless, the public order governing the activities of public bodies, and protected by imperative norms, requires that the development of alternative methods be regulated. As such, the study of positive law shows that this phenomenon is not unknown in the settlement of disputes concerning administrative contracts. For instance, the parties to a dispute can already freely resort to amicable methods (mediation, conciliation or settlement agreement), and some exceptions to the principle prohibiting public bodies from resorting to arbitration are provided for. However, the voids and shortcomings of the current system of alternative dispute resolution in administrative contracts (lack of proper status of the mediator, paucity of framework for inter partes conciliation, complexity of the concept of reciprocal concessions or, difficulty for the administrative judge to assert its competence in international arbitration...) make its understanding and implementation more complex and more prone to increasing public order violations. It is therefore necessary to propose a sustainable regime of alternative methods to ensure, on the one hand, the protection of peremptory norms of public law and, on the other hand, the freedom of the parties in the choice and conduct of an alternative justice. For that purpose, the future regime will have to authorize arbitration in administrative contracts and endow it with procedural guarantees taking into account its specific nature but also certain characteristics inherent in public entities and administrative law. Furthermore, the mediation and conciliation procedures will have to be improved in order to provide the parties with a flexible framework conducive to the conclusion of balanced and secure settlement agreements. Finally, this regime must definitively establish the role of the administrative judge. To this end, that judge may be called upon to assist the parties in the implementation of alternative methods (creation of an administrative support judge in arbitration, combination of interim reliefs with amicable procedures...). The administrative judge must also be responsible for checking the compliance of the alternative solution to the public order. This attribution of jurisdiction, which is resonates all the more in international arbitration, is fundamental for the protection of the public interest. It is only under these conditions that the development of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms can take its place in administrative contracts

Abstract:
L’Objectiu principal del present treball de recerca es centra a determinar el nivell de subjecció a la normativa de contractació del sector públic de les fundacions i de les Cambres de Comerç, Indústria i Navegació. Dins la diversitat d’entitats fundacionals, s’ha mostrat especial interès per les del sector públic —tant estatals, com a autonòmiques—, les fundacions públiques sanitàries, les fundacions en “mà comuna” i les que denominarem “fundacions stricto sensu”.
La necessitat d’extraure unes conclusions rigoroses sobre el tema requereix de l’anàlisi prèvia de la normativa comunitària reguladora de la contractació pública, i en concret de la definició de “poder adjudicador” continguda a l’article 1.9 de la Directiva 2004/18 del Parlament Europeu i del Consell de 31 de març, sobre coordinació dels procediments d’adjudicació dels contractes públics d’obres, subministrament i serveis. Per a la seva precisa delimitació conceptual s’ha acudit a la jurisprudència del Tribunal europeu com a instrument essencial per a la comprensió de termes gens fàcils d’interpretar com ara “necessitats d’interès general”, “caràcter mercantil o mercantil”, “control en la presa de decisions” o “finançament majoritàriament públic”.
A partir d’aquí, s’ha procedit a l’estudi de l’àmbit subjectiu contingut al Reial Decret Legislatiu 3/2011, de 14 de novembre, mitjançant el qual s’aprova el Text Refós de la Llei de Contractes del Sector Públic i els seus diversos nivells de subjecció a la normativa de contractació del sector públic, mostrant-se especial interès pel de màxima intensitat —el d'Administració Pública—, l'intermedi —poder adjudicador, no Administració Pública— i el mínim, corresponent a la resta d'entitats del sector públic. La correcta integració dels ens regulats en el Dret nacional en qualsevol dels nivells de subjecció a la norma exigeix d'una anàlisi exhaustiva de les característiques previstes en les diferents disposicions sectorials i un correcte enteniment del complex i extens article 3 del citat Text Refós. La difícil interpretació que es deriva del citat precepte, eix central de l'àmbit subjectiu, procedeix, entre d’altres circumstàncies, de la utilització de la mateixa definició en la delimitació de dos conceptes, el d'entitat del sector públic contingut en la clàusula residual, lletra h) de l'article 3.1 i el de poder adjudicador referit a l'article 3.3, lletra b).
Després de l'examen detallat del citat article 3, serà quan podrem fixar amb exactitud el nivell de subjecció de l'elenc d'entitats fundacionals seleccionades, essent necessari, a aquest efecte, determinar la seva naturalesa pública o privada; el tipus de necessitats que satisfan i el control públic al que es troben sotmeses. En aquest particular extrem, serà essencial delimitar l'abast del control que exerceix el Protectorat sobre les fundacions stricto sensu.
La subjecció a la normativa de contractació del sector públic de les Cambres de Comerç, Indústria i Navegació requerirà del mateix exercici analític que la dels ens fundacionals, sent determinant el seu caràcter de Corporació de Dret Públic, les necessitats que satisfan, i el control públic al que es troben sotmeses, circumstància, aquesta darrera, que exigirà d'un estudi exhaustiu després de la supressió del recurs cameral permanent.El objetivo principal del presente trabajo de investigación se centra en determinar el nivel de sujeción a la normativa de contratación del sector público de las fundaciones y de las Cámaras de Comercio, Industria y Navegación. Dentro del elenco de entidades fundacionales, se ha mostrado especial interés por las del sector público —tanto estatales, como autonómicas—, las fundaciones públicas sanitarias, las fundaciones en mano común y las que vamos a denominar “fundaciones stricto sensu”. La necesidad de extraer unas conclusiones rigurosas del tema va a requerir del análisis previo de la normativa comunitaria reguladora de la contratación pública, y en concreto de la definición de “poder adjudicador” contenida en el artículo 1.9 de la Directiva 2004/18 del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo de 31 de marzo, sobre coordinación de los procedimientos de adjudicación de los contratos públicos de obras, de suministro y de servicios. Para su precisa delimitación conceptual se ha acudido a la jurisprudencia del Tribunal europeo como instrumento esencial en la comprensión de términos nada fáciles de interpretar como “necesidades de interés general”, “carácter industrial o mercantil”, “control en la toma de decisiones” o “financiación mayoritariamente pública”. A partir de aquí, se ha procedido al estudio del ámbito subjetivo contenido en el Real Decreto Legislativo 3/2011, de 14 de noviembre, mediante el cual se aprueba el Texto Refundido de la Ley de Contratos del Sector Público y sus distintos niveles de sujeción a la normativa de contratación del sector público, mostrándose especial interés por el de máxima intensidad —el de Administración Pública—, el intermedio —poder adjudicador, no Administración Pública— y el mínimo, correspondiente al resto de entidades del sector público. La correcta integración de los entes regulados en el Derecho nacional en cualquiera de los niveles de sujeción a la norma exige de un análisis exhaustivo de las características previstas en las distintas disposiciones sectoriales y un correcto entendimiento del complejo y extenso artículo 3 del citado Texto Refundido. La difícil interpretación que se deriva del citado precepto, eje central del ámbito subjetivo, procede, entre otras circunstancias, de la utilización de la misma definición en la delimitación de dos conceptos, el de entidad del sector público contenido en la cláusula residual, letra h) del artículo 3.1 y el de poder adjudicador referido en el artículo 3.3, letra b). Tras el examen pormenorizado del citado artículo 3, será cuando podremos fijar con exactitud el nivel de sujeción del elenco de entidades fundacionales seleccionadas, siendo necesario para ello determinar su naturaleza pública o privada; el tipo de necesidades que satisfacen y el control público al que se encuentran sometidas. En este particular extremo, será esencial delimitar el alcance del control que ejerce el Protectorado sobre las fundaciones stricto sensu. La sujeción a la normativa de contratación del sector público de las Cámaras de Comercio, Industria y Navegación requerirá del mismo ejercicio analítico que la de los entes fundacionales, siendo determinante su carácter de Corporación de Derecho Público, las necesidades que satisfacen, y el control público al que se encuentran sometidas, circunstancia, esta última, que exigirá de un estudio exhaustivo tras la supresión del recurso cameral permanente.
The main objective of this research work is to determine the extent to which foundations and Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Navigation are subject to public procurement rules. Within the range of foundational entities, special attention has been devoted to those of public sector –both at the State as well as at the Autonomous Community level-, healthcare public foundations, “fundaciones en mano común” and those, which we will refer to as “stricto sensu foundations”. The need to draw effective conclusions is going to require a prior in-depth analysis of EU public procurement rules and, namely, of the definition of “contracting authority” contained in article 1.9 of Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004, on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts. In order to achieve a precise conceptual delineation of some terms, which are rather complicated to interpret, such as “needs in the general interest”, “industrial or commercial character”, “management supervision” or “financed, for the most part, by public bodies”, a thorough review of the European Court of Justice jurisprudence has been undertaken. On this basis, the present work proceeds to examine the subjective scope contained in the Spanish Law on Public Sector Contracts, a consolidated text adopted by Royal Decree-Law 3/2011, of 14 November, as well as the different levels of application of public procurement rules, focusing on the maximum level of enforcement – for Public Administration-, the intermediate level – contracting authority, which is not deemed Public Administration-, and the minimum level, applicable to the remaining public sector entities. The proper integration of the bodies regulated in the national Law, in any of the levels of application of the said rules, demands a thorough analysis of the requirements laid down in the different sectoral provisions, as well as an appropriate understanding of the long and complicated article 3 of the above-mentioned Spanish Law on Public Sector Contracts. The resulting difficult interpretation of the said provision, central focus of the subjective scope, arises, inter alia, from the use of the same definition for the delineation of two concepts: the one related to “public sector entity”, contained in the residuary clause, letter h) of article 3.1, and the “contracting authority” concept, referred to in article 3.3., letter b). A detailed examination of the aforementioned article 3, will enable us to accurately establish the level of application to the range of selected foundational entities, being necessary for this purpose, to determine their public or private nature; the type of needs they meet, and the public supervision to which they are subject. In this particular issue, it will be essential to delineate the scope of the supervision exercised by the Protectorate over the stricto sensu foundations. Likewise, in order to determine the extent to which public procurement rules apply to the Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Navigation, it will be required to carry out the same analysis as for the foundational entities, and it will be decisive their nature of a Corporation governed by public law, the needs met by them, and the public supervision to which they are subject; this latter circumstance will require an in-depth study, after the abolition of the permanent chamber resource.

Abstract In the past several decades, disputes and controversies have been often raised between agent authorities and bidding contractors in government procurement cases, among which the construction projects are regarded as the most significant in number and nature of the issues. The study was carried out on the basis of construction procurement cases conducted in the last 10 years by the Taiwan Power Company. The data from the practical projects were collected, summarized, and analyzed to investigate the pattern and solution for the dispute and controversy of the procurement cases of Taiwan Power Company as to provide useful references for similar studies for other public government-sponsored companies which constitute a major and very important part of the economic developments in Taiwan since late 1960’s. Results of the study include (1) revelation of the major pattern of the disputes: quality and defect guarantee, modification of the content of the construction contracts, and failure to fulfill the responsibilities addressed in the contracts, (2) mis-understanding and mis-interpretation of terms in the contracts which are the origin and major source of the disputes and controversies, (3) solutions for dissolving the cases which require clear specification and thorough check-list of the itemized works included in the contracts, and clear clarification of the contract terms with respect to both domestic and international standards and considerations.

Abstract:
There is a general conformity in employment discourses that informal employment is not welcomed in the employment circles regardless of how well marketed it could be. The government of South Africa on its state owned projects in the construction industry introduced policies that promoted local labour procurement of employees a process that has resulted with heavy contestations due to its application. This study examines the impact of local labour procurement policy on locally recruited employees and those who got retrenched purely for the purpose of accommodating the policy requirement. This is done through the use of Kusile power station as a case study. It adopts qualitative research approach using interviews and document analysis. The study also examines this policy in conjunction with the current labour legislation and the effects it has on the existing labour and the proposed amendment labour bills. It also examines the motive behind the introduction of the policy and who has benefited from it. However the findings reveal that there is inconsistence in the application of the policy. The purpose why the policy was introduced is to reduce unemployment poverty in the areas where these projects are being constructed. Further also the study reveals that in as much as the policy promotes informal employment, this type of informal employment is different from the commonly well-known informal employment purely on the aspect of remuneration and benefits compared to the common one.

Global warming, climate change and the greenhouse emission have been highly concerned nowadays. In addition to solar power and onshore wind power, offshore wind power is becoming the latest renewable energy. Recently, the west coast of Taiwan is recognized as the best offshore wind farm in the world. In that case, Taiwan has an edge on developing offshore wind power. According to policy of the Bureau of Energy, under Mistry of Economic Affairs, our official government has been promoting the local industrial supply chain and building up the offshore infrastructure. Moreover, in order to help the local supplier, the government has been attracting European manufacturers with subsidiary policies for technology transfer, exchanging the crucial experience and techniques with the access to our market. The ultimate goal is to further the localization of the industrial supply based on our wind farm developing experience. In the future, we would enter the Asia offshore wind farm market. Now, because of the insufficient developing experience in Taiwan, we should review the investment procedure in other ways. For example, although procurement strategy takes the least time in the whole procedure, it is the most influential part of the project, which would directly affect both the cost and profit. So far, we could only lower the risk of development by outsourcing the Turnkey to reliable foreign suppliers. However, this measure also limits our local development in this field. Therefore, before upgrading our techniques and lowering the production cost of Turnkey, it is first required to ensure that enough technique has been transferred to Taiwan and that local suppliers are capable of finishing projects independently, so that the crucial criteria in procurement can be established. Based on the offshore wind power project, the present paper considered the most capable marine construction as the research object, building up “procurement strategy of offshore wind power marine construction” which includes the study of local suppliers’ independent technical capability, and the evaluation of procurement project. With related theories such as FPR and TOPSIS, we can obtain more details about the capacity of the private sector, the degree of technology transfer, the items that need improvement, and the best solution to procurement of marine construction, which provided the most efficient strategy for decision makers. Throughout the experimental validation of “procurement strategy offshore wind power marine construction”, the result of the present study coincided with the practical adoption, which would be helpful for the following decision-making process.

"An exploratory study of power, relationship commitment, supply chain integration and performance." Thesis, 2007. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b6074412.
Abstract:
In Study 1, a taxonomy of SCI is developed based on three main types of SCI that are defined and measured in this study. Supply chain performance, operational performance and financial performance of the firms within the supply chain are investigated across five types of SCI patterns identified in the taxonomy. Study 1 also examines the factors influencing SCI pattern, such as competitive hostility, company size, and industry, among others. In Study 2, the impact of relationship commitment on SCI is investigated. We investigate two types of relationship commitment and their impact on integration and performance from both supplier and customer sides. In Study 3, five types of power used by suppliers or customers and their impacts on manufacturers' two types of relationship commitment, SCI, and supply chain performance are examined.Keywords. Supply Chain Integration, Performance, Relationship Commitment, Power, China
Supply chain integration (SCI) has received increasing attention from academic researchers and practitioners in recent years. However, our knowledge of what influences SCI, and how SCI influences the performance of supply chains and companies within the supply chains, is still very limited. This research is an effort to remedy that deficiency by empirically examining power, relationship commitment, and their impact on SCI and performance based on the data collected from 617 manufacturing companies in China. This dissertation consists of three studies.
Theoretically, this research contributes to transaction cost theory, social exchange theory and power-relationship commitment theory. It extends RCM research and relationship marketing research from traditional dyadic relationships in two-level supply chains to triadic relationships in three-level supply chains. The managerial implications and guidelines developed from this study will help the companies enhance their global competitiveness by developing and managing relationships with their trading partners to achieve the more effective integration of the internal and external processes within the supply chain.

"Enhanced Reserve Procurement Policies for Power Systems with Increasing Penetration Levels of Stochastic Resources." Doctoral diss., 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.49053.
Abstract:
abstract: The uncertainty and variability associated with stochastic resources, such as wind and solar, coupled with the stringent reliability requirements and constantly changing system operating conditions (e.g., generator and transmission outages) introduce new challenges to power systems. Contemporary approaches to model reserve requirements within the conventional security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) models may not be satisfactory with increasing penetration levels of stochastic resources; such conventional models pro-cure reserves in accordance with deterministic criteria whose deliverability, in the event of an uncertain realization, is not guaranteed. Smart, well-designed reserve policies are needed to assist system operators in maintaining reliability at least cost.
Contemporary market models do not satisfy the minimum stipulated N-1 mandate for generator contingencies adequately. This research enhances the traditional market practices to handle generator contingencies more appropriately. In addition, this research employs stochastic optimization that leverages statistical information of an ensemble of uncertain scenarios and data analytics-based algorithms to design and develop cohesive reserve policies. The proposed approaches modify the classical SCUC problem to include reserve policies that aim to preemptively anticipate post-contingency congestion patterns and account for resource uncertainty, simultaneously. The hypothesis is to integrate data-mining, reserve requirement determination, and stochastic optimization in a holistic manner without compromising on efficiency, performance, and scalability. The enhanced reserve procurement policies use contingency-based response sets and post-contingency transmission constraints to appropriately predict the influence of recourse actions, i.e., nodal reserve deployment, on critical transmission elements.
This research improves the conventional deterministic models, including reserve scheduling decisions, and facilitates the transition to stochastic models by addressing the reserve allocation issue. The performance of the enhanced SCUC model is compared against con-temporary deterministic models and a stochastic unit commitment model. Numerical results are based on the IEEE 118-bus and the 2383-bus Polish test systems. Test results illustrate that the proposed reserve models consistently outperform the benchmark reserve policies by improving the market efficiency and enhancing the reliability of the market solution at reduced costs while maintaining scalability and market transparency. The proposed approaches require fewer ISO discretionary adjustments and can be employed by present-day solvers with minimal disruption to existing market procedures.Dissertation/Thesis

Abstract:
The sustainability of the REIPPP programme was as yet unknown. Through this study control drivers critical for the sustainability of the REIPPP programme were identified and prioritised. As background sustainability was investigated on an international level and within the South African context. Control drivers are drivers that have a significant impact on the sustainability of the REIPPP programme and also have some level of controllability. These drivers were obtained and compiled based on appropriate literature. The Global Reporting Guideline (GRI) for sustainability was used as baseline for identifying control drivers. To further obtain and verify the relevant sustainability control drivers, input from the REIPPP programme’s key stakeholders were included in the research. The key stakeholders provided an impact and controllability rating via a questionnaire, which was used to prioritise the identified control drivers. Selected key stakeholder where requested to review control drivers that were identified and prioritised, providing the researcher a means of verifying the preliminary proposed control drivers. Obtaining a final list of prioritised control drivers critical for the sustainability of the REIPPP programme was achieved by integrating the drivers identified by the researcher, stakeholder selected alternative drivers and their self-suggested control drivers. The prioritised control drivers could be used to promote or control the sustainability of the REIPPP programme by addressing and/or supporting the control drivers having the most significant impact. The top 5 prioritised control drivers were selected to be used in an interview with high level key stakeholders. The interviewees provided their input on how these drivers could be supported or addressed to control or even promote the sustainability of the REIPPP programme. From the interview it was clear that the final list of prioritised control drivers was relevant and could influence the long-term sustainability of the REIPPP programme. Many insights were obtained which could provide significant role players, or even the South African Government, the guidance they need to take the REIPPP programme forward.MIng (Development and Management Engineering), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

Abstract:
First Essay: We study the effect of entry of ethanol plants on the spatial pattern of corn prices. We use pre- and post-entry data from corn elevators to implement a clean identification strategy that allows us to quantify how price effects vary with the size of the entrant (relative to local corn production) and with distance from the elevator to the entrant. We estimate Difference-In-Difference (DID) and DID-matching models with linear and non-linear distance specifications. We find that the average-sized entrant causes an increase in corn price that ranges from 10 to 15 cents per bushel at the plant’s location, depending on the model specification. We also find that, on average, the price effect dissipates 60 miles away from the plant. Our results indicate that the magnitude of the price effect as well as its spatial pattern vary substantially with the size of the entrant relative to local corn supply. Under our preferred model, the largest entrant in our sample causes an estimated price increase of 15 cents per bushel at the plant’s site and the price effect propagates over 100 miles away. In contrast, the smallest entrant causes a price increase of only 2 cents per bushel at the plant’s site and the price effect dissipates within 15 miles of the plant. Our results are qualitatively robust to the pre-treatment matching strategy, to whether spatial effects are assumed to be linear or nonlinear, and to placebo tests that falsify alternative explanations.
Second Essay: We estimate the cost of transporting corn and the resulting degree of spatial differentiation among downstream firms that buy corn from upstream farmers and examine whether such differentiation softens competition enabling buyers to exert market power (defined as the ability to pay a price for corn that is below its marginal value product net of processing cost). We estimate a structural model of spatial competition using corn procurement data from the US state of Indiana from 2004 to 2014. We adopt a strategy that allows us to estimate firm-level structural parameters while using aggregate data. Our results return a transportation cost of 0.12 cents per bushel per mile (3% of the corn price under average conditions), which provides evidence of spatial differentiation among buyers. The estimated average markdown is $0.80 per bushel (16% of the average corn price in the sample), of which $0.34 is explained by spatial differentiation and the rest by the fact that firms operated under binding capacity constraints. We also find that corn prices paid to farmers at the mill gate are independent of distance between the plant and the farm, providing evidence that firms do not engage in spatial price discrimination. Finally, we evaluate the effect of hypothetical mergers on input markets and farm surplus. A merger between nearby ethanol producers eases competition, increases markdowns by 20%, and triggers a sizable reduction in farm surplus. In contrast, a merger between distant buyers has little effect on competition and markdowns.

Taiwan is the # 1 swithing power supplies all over the world. The demands of the different power adapters are high and various but there is still a big competition among numerous of suppliers that are existed. Under such circumstance, the power suppliers necessary deeper understand customer’s requirement together with “time to market” concept and than become worldwide switching power supplier. Other than that, time and costs will be the best advantages among the competition. Due to this, our purpose for this research is concerning to the organization purchasing / procurement and special focus on international purchasing strategy, assessment criteria for international purchasing, factors influencing the company’s purchasing strategy and practice, and use A company as research partner and running a survey an analysis the result. The research is written according to the first chapter base on the background from the international and local market survey and other relevant literature. The research result is gather base on A company sent out 200 surveys to it clients and there are 104 survey are filled and returned back for complete the research. After descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, Wilks’ Lambda analysis of variance, there are 4 main factors as hereunder: 1) There is a significant relationship between “proactive global purchasing strategy type” and “assessment criteria for international purchasing”； a significant relationship between “global purchasing strategy type “ and “organizational factor”。 However, there is no significant relationship between “global purchasing strategy type” and “market factor” and “environmental factor”。 Proactive and reactive strategy types have significant different in between labor force, organization factors (such as materials cost, quality and transportation), clients structure of attitude and requirement, market base requirement and technology development; and the environment factor of change regulation of import and export. 2) There is no any purchasing analysis standard in between “proactive global purchasing strategy type” and “reactive global purchasing strategy type”. Proactive and reactive strategy types have same significant different for low cost products, low technical skill products, eliminated the new product design and produce period, more accurate lead time, currency exchange rate and the relationship between supplier and client. 3) There is significant differentiation “proactive global purchasing strategy type” and “manufacture purchasing attitude”; however, there is no different between “reactive global purchasing strategy type” and “manufacture purchasing attitude.” 4) There is huge significant differentiation between European and American countries and Asia on “proactive global purchasing strategy type” and “reactive global purchasing strategy type” in between “purchasing strategy factor”, “purchasing analysis standard” and “manufacture purchasing attitude.”

Abstract:
Thesis (M.Com. (Development Theory and Policy))--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, School of Economic and Business Sciences, 2016.The paper identifies that due to the historic evolution of the South African economy, particularly the emphasis placed on energy provision as a catalyst for successful mineral extraction; the seeds were sown for South Africa to be an industrial hub in transformer manufacturing. However, this opportunity has not been realised. Domestic transformer manufacturers have continued to lose market share both domestically and globally. The research identifies a lack of demand, locally, for domestically manufactured transformers as an inherent cause of the challenges faced by the local transformer industry. This lack of demand is also recognized as the reason constraining the potential growth of the industry. The paper identifies a virtuous cycle between capacity utilization and expansion, wherein; higher capacity utilization favourably influences price competitiveness, which increases market share and induces investment into additional capacity. As greater market share is 2 | P a g e attained due to price competitiveness, even higher capacity utilization is achieved; therefore further inducing investment on the expanded capacity and the cycle continues with further expansion. The paper investigates sectoral designation as an industrial policy instrument to achieve this model, that is; increase demand, capacity utilization and ultimately broaden the industrial base of transformer manufacturing. The paper advocates that, while growing in the export market is the ideal end point, the industry would grow its current production capacity threefold if it were provided the opportunity to fully satisfy domestic demand1. As a result, this should be the first market to conquer. It is also identified in the research that sectoral designation as a policy instrument is not without shortfalls, particularly given the unique characteristics inherent in the transformer industry. The paper concludes with policy recommendations to overcome the identified shortfalls and proposes a model for consideration. This dissertation is submitted for the completion of a Master of Commerce in Development Theory and Policy degree. I would like to express utmost gratitude to Dr Paul Jourdan for his supervision, guidance and valuable contribution in the preparation of this research report.

Abstract:
In the recent years, governments have encouraged the utilization of renewable energy by providing incentives to investors, and enhancing traditional practices in the sector. For example, in Ontario, Canada, local distribution companies can now legally own and operate up to 10 MW generating plant per location as long as it is from a renewable source. Although this trend results in some operational benefits for the host networks, it also creates specific technical challenges and economic problems. New modeling approaches are needed to account for the main features of power produced by these facilities, namely, the uncertainty and uncontrollability.
The uncertainty of power produced by weather-based generating facilities affects the decisions of different activities related to the operation of distribution systems. Examples of these tasks include power procurement decisions, the assessment of voltage magnitude variation, and reactive power management. If not properly included, uncertainty could result in non optimal outcome of operational activities of a distribution system operator. Based on different optimization techniques, the thesis introduces several models that capture the uncertain behavior of renewable resources. Two operational tasks were selected for application using the enhanced models: economical operation of distribution system and impact assessment on voltage magnitude.
The power procurement problem is an operational challenge to acquire the correct economic mix of power purchases to supply the demand of a local distribution company. Three models have been presented to formulate the power procurement problem with a consideration of the stochastic nature of renewable generation. These models select the optimal quantities of bilateral contracts under uncertain renewable generation and give the option to decision makers to recalculate the powers from other sources. In one of these proposed models, the mean-variance theory is utilized to evaluate the risk associated with the variation of renewable power output on the financial efficiency of a local distribution company. Unlike previous studies, in which renewable power production is identified as a decision variable, in this work the generation from these units is represented as a parameter to model their feature of uncontrollability. Comparison of results obtained from using the proposed models showed that the degree of uncertainty plays an important role in selecting the proper mix. In general, stochastic based algorithms are superior to deterministic approaches when increasing contributions from renewable resources are considered.
A major technical problem that may be caused by the uncertain generation of renewable units is the increase of voltage variation. The second part of the thesis introduces a methodology based on a Monte-Carlo technique to assess new installation depending on its impact on the quality of supply voltage. Two different standard measures for supply voltage quality are applied in this approach to provide the decision maker a tool that can be used to authorize new connections of renewable generation. The consistency of results obtained by the two indices applied in the proposed methodology encourages adopting the proposed approach for evaluating the impact of new connections of renewable resources.
The models proposed in the thesis contribute to promote safer integration of renewable resources in distribution systems by modeling two main features: uncertainty and non-controllability.

Abstract:
Corruption from a criminological perspective forms the basis of this dissertation. The crime component
of corruption the 'what', 'why' and 'how' is the dominant theme throughout the study and includes
corruption in the South African public sector, highlighting police corruption in the Western Cape.
Although this study is exploratory, certain qualitative interviewing techniques, including an interview
guide, were used to maximise the information obtained from knowledgeable interviewees. Corruption
was further elucidated by the employment of criminological theories to explain pertinent findings in the
research, by highlighting risk factors that lead to corruption, by giving examples of corruption and by
discussing anti-corruption agencies and the effectiveness of existing legislation.
Corruption in the public sector has always been around and will be ad infinitum. The severity of the
consequences of this phenomenon can be curtailed by the will of politicians, the involvement of civil
society and an operational criminal justice system.Criminology
