Abstract:

Purpose: Improvement measures are taken unceasingly in organizations in order to optimize the obtained results in each sphere of a company’s functioning. This article presents the results of an improvement process conducted for a welding operation in the given production process. Design/methodology/approach: Taking advantage of the Kaizen approach, the article describes the results of this process and its visualization, which has been conducted with the help of a Spaghetti Chart tool. Findings: Initially, it has demonstrated that the analysis of real pathways of product value creation at the given worksite through application of the mapped-out changes brings about measurable effects. The applied worksite reorganization allowed for a limitation of an employee’s excessive movements at the worksite. In order to conduct a benchmark – both states “before” and “after” the introduction of improvement changes have been juxtaposed. Research limitations/implications: The presented analysis has a temporally and spatially limited dimension - this simultaneously being an impulse to extend research in the future. While conducting an analysis of an operator’s work, the problem must be dealt with in a broad perspective - we conduced type case study, so this is the limitation. Practical implications: The conducted analysis has taken place in real organizational conditions, using the example of a functioning worksite. Working with the “continuous improvement” approach, the instruments for development have been initiated in all spheres and levels of the given organization. Line employees have been motivated by the management to carry out single modernizations at the given worksite, which has influenced their own development. This in turn has stimulated their conscious need for active participation in the process of change. Originality/value: The conducted analysis has taken place in real organizational conditions, using the example of a functioning worksite.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to present an economic evaluation framework of an RFID system implementation through a pilot project with the aim of streamlining logistic processes and compliance with higher level requirements. The company involved in the project belongs to the CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) food industry, and in particular to the alimentary industry, whose principal scope was to comply the new norms of the sector by implementation of a better traceability system. This system, besides being very effective for the scope of the project, also had a huge impact in economic terms on logistics resources and cost reduction. For this reason, the discover of the RFID technology for the company has been greatly appreciated at management level, and today other fields of application are under evaluation. The added value of this article is contained not only in the results obtained in the economic evaluations, but also in the applied methodology, evidencing the advantages obtainable in the processes by cutting no added value operations. The economic analysis has thus been conducted on the basis of this TO-BE process streamlining.

Abstract:

In today’s environment, the success of an organization depends on the ability to reduce the decision cycle, make better decisions, and share strategic information within the organization. The model of this paper shows that the results of GIS processing are much more efficient in the information process - decision making, production, evidence, both in the transport sector and in other fields of activity.The main purpose of a GIS system is, beside the introduction, storage and editing of some geographic, demographic, environmental information etc. The analysis and the study of this information in a relational context, in order to obtain complex decisions. Network analysis in GIS is most frequently related to finding new solutions to transport issues.

Abstract:

Genome erosion is a frequently observed result of relaxed selection in insect nutritional symbionts, but it has rarely been studied in defensive mutualisms. Solitary beewolf wasps harbor an actinobacterial symbiont of the genus Streptomyces that provides protection to the developing offspring against pathogenic microorganisms. Here, we characterized the genomic architecture and functional gene content of this culturable symbiont using genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics in combination with in vitro assays. Despite retaining a large linear chromosome (7.3 Mb), the wasp symbiont accumulated frameshift mutations in more than a third of its protein-coding genes, indicative of incipient genome erosion. Although many of the frameshifted genes were still expressed, the encoded proteins were not detected, indicating post-transcriptional regulation. Most pseudogenization events affected accessory genes, regulators, and transporters, but “Streptomyces philanthi” also experienced mutations in central metabolic pathways, resulting in auxotrophies for biotin, proline, and arginine that were confirmed experimentally in axenic culture. In contrast to the strong A+T bias in the genomes of most obligate symbionts, we observed a significant G+C enrichment in regions likely experiencing reduced selection. Differential expression analyses revealed that—compared to in vitro symbiont cultures—“S. philanthi” in beewolf antennae showed overexpression of genes for antibiotic biosynthesis, the uptake of host-provided nutrients and the metabolism of building blocks required for antibiotic production. Our results show unusual traits in the early stage of genome erosion in a defensive symbiont and suggest tight integration of host–symbiont metabolic pathways that effectively grants the host control over the antimicrobial activity of its bacterial partner.

Abstract:

AbstractIn the late 1920s, the American obstetrician Joseph DeLee brought the motion-picture camera into the birth room. Following that era's trend of adapting industrial efficiency practices for medical environments, DeLee's films give spectacular and unexpected expression to the engineering concept of ‘streamlining’. Accomplishing what more tangible obstetric streamlining practices had failed to, DeLee's cameras, and his post-production manipulation, shifted birth from messy and dangerous to rationalized, efficient, death-defying. This was film as an active and effective medical tool. Years later, the documentarian Pare Lorentz produced and wrote his own birth film, The Fight for Life (1940). The documentary subject of the film was DeLee himself, and the film was set in his hospitals, on the same maternity ‘sets’ that had once showcased film's remarkable streamlining capacity to give and keep life. Yet relatively little of DeLee was retained in the film's content, resulting in a showdown that, by way of contrast, further articulated DeLee's understanding of film's medical powers and, in so doing, hinted at a more dynamic moment in the history of medicine while speaking also to the process by which that understanding ceased to be historically legible.

Abstract:

As the subject of oil and gas production, reservoir management is the oil production plant’s core business. But at present, there are some problems in reservoir management. For example: the development and management unit is not clear; the organizational structure is not streamlining; management mechanism is not perfect; evaluation is not systematic and so on. So, the oil production plant should focus on those four aspects to explore reservoir management---“unified the ground and underground, clear the input-output” “flattened the management layers, specialized functions structure” “market-oriented economy development, optimize the production process” “long-efficiency business goal , comprehensive evaluation of analysis”

Abstract:

Green Production has becoming increasingly important because of the growing need for sustainable development. Lean Production is one the most influential concepts in contemporary industrial management. The focus of Lean Production has been waste elimination and streamlining operations. Therefore, it is natural to seek alternatives for balancing or synergizing productivity gains with environmental friendliness by combining Green and Lean initiatives. However, Green and Lean practices may result in negative side effects. Such cases are mostly explained by dysfunctional assessments of effects. Sometimes, companies center on the positive effects, but hide or externalize negative trade-offs. Therefore, consistent assessment is critical to secure the achievement of Green and Lean objectives. An assessment has to consider all vital interdependencies between various effects. When enforced by law, it should respect all limitations and incentives set by regulators. To address these issues, an approach to integrated assessment of Green-Lean Production was conceptualized. Two fundamental strategic perspectives are considered for assessment: the product and operations views.

Abstract:

The use of additive manufacturing (AM) systems in scale production has rapidly increased in recent years. The growing tendency to adopt AM technologies into established manufacturing systems has led to research that considers the optimisation of both process and resource planning. In order to maximise the outputs of such a production process, planning must be conducted rigorously. This paper proposes an automated software tool, called EasyPlan, which streamlines the optimisation of resource planning. The algorithm is developed using LabVIEW and is demonstrated for an AM component from the medical industry. For the evaluation process, parameters such as stock levels, delivery terms and technical charts of the products are provided. A user friendly interface is developed, making EasyPlan versatile to all types of environments.

Abstract:

The Republic of Moldova faced two shocks in 2020: the drought, which led to a decrease in crop production by more than a third, and the spread of the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARSCoV-2), which led to lockdowns, temporary suspension of the activities of enterprises and organizations. In this situation, the main task facing the state is sustainable economic growth. Thus, the improvement of foreign trade policy is relevant, since the development of economic relations with other countries, an increase in the export potential of the national economy will ensure stable economic growth. The primary goal of this study is to improve the foreign trade policy of the Republic of Moldova. The main methods used are statistical research method, a systematic approach, an abstract-logical research method, etc. As a result of the study, the main and specific objectives were developed that need to be included in government programs and strategies aimed at promoting exports, developing trade and economic relationship.

Abstract:

This article deals with the implementation of virtual manuals for mass production workplaces in the automotive industry. The aim is to conduct a pilot study as a source for future research and the possibility of connecting virtual instruction manuals to production systems. A system was designed that uses its own software solution for creating instructions, which was connected to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) in a manufacturing company. The whole system is connected to the company’s production cycle. This solution has been validated. Three months after the introduction of the innovation, it can be stated that during the application of the system, the scrap rate was reduced from an initial 12 pieces to a final state of 3 pieces, and the length of time for training newly arrived operators was shortened. The analysis focused mainly on the evaluation of scrap, the aspect of time in this case did not need to be stated due to the high workplace cycle. The proposed solution thus contributed to the streamlining and modernization of production and will be an important input for the creation of a general IoT methodology.

Abstract:

The rapid depletion of fossil fuels and their adverse effect on the environment have led scientists to look for alternative sources and technologies of energy production. India took the lead in utilising biological wastes for the production of 'biogas' with varied applications like cooking and power generation. South Africa first used transesterified vegetable oil as 'biodiesel' to power vehicles. With the numerous benefits to mankind and environment, the use of biological fuels is gaining momentum throughout the world. With a little more streamlining, biofuels will be soon replacing the existing fuel sources, at the same time helping us to rectify the thoughtless exploitation of the past.

The contemporary migration experience is mobile, fragmented and mediated, creating a new diasporic interface that interplays the three threads of media, culture and art. However, studies of transnationalism within media, culture and art scholarship continue to collapse into binary models, ultimately streamlining the complex cultural translations that occur in this interface. This essay argues that the notion of aesthetic cosmopolitanism allows for a more rigorous account of the diasporic interface, keeping alive the kinetic element that permeates transnational cultural production.

Abstract:

The article presents a solution based on a cyber-physical system in which data collected from measuring sensors was analysed for prediction in the production process control system. The presented technology was based on intelligent sensors as part of the solution for Industry 4.0. The main purpose of the work is to reduce data and select the appropriate covariate to optimise modelling of defects using the Cox model for a specific mechanical system. The reliability of machines and devices in the production process is a condition for ensuring continuity of production. Predicting damage, especially its movement, gives the ability to monitor the current state of the machine. In a broader perspective, this enables streamlining the production process, service planning or control. This ensures production continuity and optimal performance. The presented model is a regressive survival analysis model that allows you to calculate the probability of failure occurring over a given period of time.

Abstract:

Abstract Background The Acute Medical Ambulatory Centre (AMAC) was established with the goals of facilitating early discharge and preventing avoidable medical admissions. 12 months post its introduction, the service was inefficient and operating under capacity. A project aimed to improve the AMAC referral processes and increase the centre’s overall efficiency was undertaken. Methods Western Australia Department of Health Clinical Service Redesign methodology (a blend of Lean and Six Sigma methodologies) was used to complete the project. This involved process mapping, root cause analysis and solutions sessions with stakeholders, as well as a semi-structured phone interview with patients. Results Transition from a paper-based to an electronic referral system. Creation of an ‘AMAC Quick Reference Guide’ for doctors. Production of an AMAC contact card to be given to patients on discharge if they have AMAC follow up. Letters detailing the patient review are forwarded on the day of the appointment facilitating timely feedback to GPs. An AMAC information flyer for GPs is now available on the hospital website. Conclusion Redesigning the referral process to the AMAC has improved workflow and efficiency with significant improvements in staff satisfaction. The institution is aiming to become paperless and this redesign project has led to the elimination of another paper form. The success of the project is testament to the engagement of the staff involved and demonstrates the need for doctors to not only engage their medical colleagues, but also nursing and clerical staff. The redesign project has helped refocus hospital priorities and should hopefully see further support for the centre; developing the ambulatory model of care as an integral part of the service provided. Other centres can learn valuable lessons from our experience and develop similar strategies to cope with the ever-increasing demands on the public healthcare system.

Abstract:

Aiming at streamlining GPCR production from E. coli inclusion bodies for structural analysis, we present a generic approach to assess and optimize refolding yield through thermostability analysis. Since commonly used hydrophobic dyes cannot be applied as probes for membrane protein unfolding, we adapted a technique based on reacting cysteins exposed upon thermal denaturation with fluorescent 7-Diethylamino-3-(4-maleimidophenyl)-4-methylcoumarin (CPM). Successful expression, purification and refolding is shown for two G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor S1P1, and the orphan receptor GPR3. Refolded receptors were subjected to lipidic cubic phase crystallization screening.

In der Stückgutindustrie lassen sich die acht Gestaltungsrichtlinien der Wertstrommethode nach Erlach hervorragend anwenden. In der Prozessindustrie weist die Produktion jedoch häufig andere Merkmale (beispielsweise eine Kuppelproduktion) auf, die neue Herausforderungen an die Wertstrommethode stellen. Aufbauend auf den acht Gestaltungsrichtlinien des Wertstromdesigns werden in diesem Fachbeitrag Handlungsempfehlungen für die Anwendung der Wertstrommethode in der Prozessindustrie diskutiert.   The eight design guidelines of Erlach‘s Value Stream Design Method work well in streamlining operations in the piece-good industry. In the process and chemical industries, however, production systems exhibit different characteristics, like joint production, that present challenges for the eight step value stream design method. Building on the eight design guidelines, this article discusses the deficits of this method in the process industries and gives recommendations for its adaptatio.

Abstract:

Amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by caged greater gliders were measured simultaneously by means of potassium hydroxide absorption, and by the low-level, doubly labelled water method, which incorporated a gas isotope ratio mass spectrometer for determining the low oxygen isotope enrichments. The two methods yielded significantly different values, but doubly labelled water underestimated CO2 production by only 8.3% on average, and this error is in the range of mean errors found in previous validation studies where no significant differences existed. In addition, we tested procedures designed to reduce the costs of using the doubly labelled water method, by streamlining field and laboratory procedures for sample handling and processing.

Abstract:

Intermetallic TiAl alloys are a class of innovative high-temperature materials which are developed to replace the substantially denser Ni-base alloys in low-pressure turbine blades of jet engines. By streamlining the production process of these parts, a substantial decrease in production costs can be achieved. To this end, a profound knowledge of the microstructural processes occurring during hot deformation is a prerequisite. To investigate the microstructural development during forming operations, cast and extruded as well as only cast specimens were hot-deformed and the microstructural development investigated in-situ by means of a novel diffraction method. This powder diffraction method utilizes the behavior of individual reflection spots on the Debye-Scherrer rings for deriving the materials response to the deformation imposed. It was found that the behavior of the two specimens is rather similar, although the starting microstructures show pronounced differences.

Abstract:

This paper provides a practical approach to rationalization of shipyard information flows through procedures which analyze the quality and quantity of information produced by and received by shipyard employees. An improvement in the yard's productivity is gained through better quality and timeliness of management information, elimination of redundant or unnecessary reports, streamlining of reports, and reduced distribution of the information. The process to achieve these goals is based on a microcomputer-assisted analysis of existing information flows. An inventory of reports and management information is developed to include distribution, frequency, computerized versus manual production, size, and use of the information. Based on the analysis, recommended rationalization can result in productivity gains (effective use of management and indirect labor time, timely and accurate decision-making, improved operations management, etc.) and in cost reductions (reduced report production, distribution, and computer costs, minimization of manufacturing error, smaller indirect staff, etc.).

Abstract:

The past three decades have seen phenomenal growth in investments in the area of product lifecycle management (PLM) as companies exploit opportunities in streamlining product lifecycle processes, and fully harnessing their data assets. These processes span all product lifecycle phases from requirements definition, systems design/ analysis, and simulation, detailed design, manufacturing planning, production planning, quality management, customer support, in-service management, and end-of-life recycling. Initiatives ranging from process re-engineering, enterprise-level change management, standardization, globalization and the like have moved PLM processes to mission-critical enterprise systems. Product data representations that encapsulate semantics to support product data exchange and PLM collaboration processes have driven several standards organizations, vendor product development efforts, real-world PLM implementations, and research initiatives. However, the process and deployment dimensions have attracted little attention: The need to optimize organization processes rather than individual benefits poses challenging “culture change management” issues and have derailed many enterprise-scale PLM efforts. Drawn from the authors’ field experiences as PLM system integrators, business process consultants, corporate executives, vendors, and academicians, this paper explores the broad scope of PLM, with an added focus on the implementation and deployment of PLM beyond the development of technology. We review the historical evolution of engineering information management/PLM systems and processes, characterize PLM implementations and solution contexts, and discuss case studies from multiple industries. We conclude with a discussion of research issues motivated by improving PLM adoption in industry.

Abstract:

Today’s possibilities of genome editing easily create plentitudes of strain mutants that need to be experimentally qualified for configuring the next steps of strain engineering. The application of design-build-test-learn cycles requires the identification of distinct metabolic engineering targets as design inputs for subsequent optimization rounds. Here, we present the pool influx kinetics (PIK) approach that identifies promising metabolic engineering targets by pairwise comparison of up- and downstream 13C labeling dynamics with respect to a metabolite of interest. Showcasing the complex l-histidine production with engineered Corynebacterium glutamicuml-histidine-on-glucose yields could be improved to 8.6 ± 0.1 mol% by PIK analysis, starting from a base strain. Amplification of purA, purB, purH, and formyl recycling was identified as key targets only analyzing the signal transduction kinetics mirrored in the PIK values.

Abstract:

This research purpose to know the application of Cost Reduction Strategies on Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME). Cost reduction strategies have the meaning of "change" even though it is better known as "cost reduction" but any company that dares to implement cost reduction means that it is ready to change. The problem in the application of Cost Reduction Strategies is the difficulty in making a priority scale to determine cost items that can be streamlined and not optimal in carrying out the cost reduction stage. The focus of this study is more on the application of business process change strategies and also the efficiency of human resources. This research uses a qualitative description method. The technique of collecting data was done by interviewing and surveying a number of respondents using a sampling technique. The survey results showed 67% applied the concept of efficiency in business processes and 25% implemented a human resource efficiency strategy (streamlining), 8% of respondents stated that they did not implement an efficiency strategy during a pandemic because their income has actually increased. From the survey results, it shows that the main focus of MSME entrepreneurs when there is a decline in turnover is to make improvements to the production process firsts, streamlining is the final choice.Key words: Cost Reduction Strategies, UMKM Bogor, Covid-19

Abstract:

The aim of the article is to propose ways to increase the functioning efficiency of the newly created workplace with regard to the course of the processes themselves, as well as of the working conditions of the affected employees in the selected company, dealing with the production of refrigeration and air conditioning units for automobiles. The automotive market is primarily customer-oriented, to which companies strive to meet and deliver high-quality products that are different from their competition. To ensure this goal, it is necessary to acquire theoretical knowledge in the field of organization and structure of the production process. It is also necessary to analyse problematic points of the newly created working zone on the basis of observations and interviews with employees. The essence of streamlining the workplace and improving the working conditions of employees lies in the identification, analysis and elimination of shortcomings, that have arisen mainly due to dynamic changes and rapid implementation of the working zone in the corner of the production hall. Based on the identified deficiencies, the authors of the paper have proposed corrective actions and have analysed the results of the improved condition.

Abstract:

Abstract This special issue on “Systems and Architectures for High-Quality Statistics Production” is a stimulating resource for statistical agencies and private sector data collectors in a challenging time characterized by massive amounts of data, from a variety of sources, available in varying intervals, and with varying quality. Traditionally, statistical products were created from a single source, most often through surveys or administrative data. However, neither surveys nor administrative data alone can match the data needs of today’s society. In addition, the need to reduce the costs of data production necessitates that multiple sources are used in combination. The need to reduce costs also necessitates the streamlining of production cycles, and the increasing difficulties in data collection itself require such systems to be much more flexible than they have been in the past. Increasingly, these reasons are driving statistical agencies and private data collectors to redesign their entire data production cycle. The examples in this special issue from Statistics Netherlands and Statistics New Zealand demonstrate such developments in government agencies; the example from RTI reflects efforts visible among private sector data collectors. This commentary will highlight some issues of general interest related to organizational challenges, and some that create the basis for reproducible research and are therefore of general interest to the research community.

Abstract:

AbstractAquaponics is a food production system which connects recirculating aquaculture (fish) to hydroponics (plants) systems. Although aquaponics has the potential to improve soil conditions by reducing erosion and nutrient loss and has been shown to reduce food production related carbon emissions by up to 73%, few commercial aquaponics projects in the EU and UK have been successful. Key barriers to commercial success are insufficient initial investment, an uncertain and complex regulatory environment, and the lack of projects operating on a large scale able to demonstrate profitability. In this paper, we use the UK as a case study to discuss the legal and economic barriers to the success of commercial aquaponics in the EU. We also propose three policies: (1) making aquaponics eligible for the new system of Environmental Land Management grants; (2) making aquaponics eligible for organic certification; and (3) clarifying and streamlining the aquaponics licence application process. The UK’s departure from the EU presents a unique opportunity to review agricultural regulations and subsidies, which in turn could provide evidence that similar reforms are needed in the EU.

Abstract:

Transition from manufacture to the industrial way of meat production and processing, as well as contemporary concept of food quality and safety, have led to the application of starter cultures. Their application leads towards the streamlining of the production process in the desired direction, quality improvement and its harmonization, and thereby to its standardization. Application of moulds in the meat industry is based on positive effects of their proteolytic and lipolytic egzoenzymes which, as a consequence, leads to the creation of characteristic sensory properties ('flavor') of fermented products. Penicillium nalgiovense is a typical representative of moulds used in the production of fermented sausages-salamis from our region. Samples of 'zimska salama' (dry sausage), produced with Penicillium nalgiovense, were evaluated as hygienically unacceptable. Their sensory properties changed due to contamination of this mould during the ripening process. Micological analysis discovered the presence of Penicillium aurantiogriseum, which is a frequent mould contaminant in the meat industry. At the same time, thin layer chromatography revealed no possibility of metabolic activity of this mould in the creation of mycotoxins. However, the presence of this mould on the surface of 'zimska salama' is considered as undesirable due to formation of 'off flavor' in products. Such product is considered as hygienically unacceptable and cannot be used for the human consumption.
