Implementation Of Effective Processes Research Articles

Performance Assessment of Business Process Optimization Algorithms Using a Prototype Dataset Generator

Modern approaches of business administration consider processes as the fundamental element for the structure of a company that pursues high competitiveness and profitability. Hence, the implementation of effective processes has become a major concern, in an attempt to develop methodologies for their continuous improvement with respect to predefined evaluation criteria. Considering that an optimization method needs to be evaluated systematically in terms of performance and accuracy, the aim of this paper is the development of a generator that can construct synthetic test problems of diverse size and difficulty, employing well-defined complexity parameters derived from the Graph Theory and where a business process design is represented as a two-terminal-directed acyclic graph. However, a plethora of different formulations regarding the process optimization problem that have been presented in the relevant literature motivated our research to consider the target model of the generator as an ideal case, which can be derived by the aforementioned formulations after reducing some of their constraints. The experimental evaluation demonstrates how different value settings of the complexity parameters affect the difficulty of the generated instances, proving the capability of the proposed generator to create test sets of varying complexity.

The integration of edge computing within actuator networks, combined with the scalability of sensors, holds the potential to proactively detect and prevent impending collisions. This cutting-edge approach not only accumulates and processes sensor-generated data but also employs it to mitigate the occurrence of road accidents. This discussion delves into the potential advantages offered by smart sensors and advanced technology, focusing on the enhancement of safety within transportation networks. The core attributes of these intelligent technologies facilitate the establishment of robust connectivity and the effective implementation of processes, ushering in an innovative era in the realm of road safety through smart technology.

THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF COMPETITIVENESS AND ITS IMPACT ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY OF THE STATE

It has been established that for many industry niches, not only the issue of increasing international competition of business entities is relevant, but also the raise in the number of internal competitors, as a result of the implementation of effective processes of an innovative nature, modernization, structural restructuring of business processes. It has been proven that another determining trend of competition processes at the level of business entities is the high pace of digitalization of the economy and technological changes, which are realized due to a significant reduction in the cycles of introducing innovative products and a significant change in the structure of relations between entities as a result of the introduction of digital platforms for the sale of goods and services and other IT technologies. The factors of competitiveness formation are added, taking into account the effect of factors on the distribution and use of resources, which, in turn, affect the level of competitiveness and national security of Ukraine. The classification features of competitiveness factors have been expanded, which will allow to determine the level of competitiveness and the main problems of activity, to strengthen competitive positions in the market, to form directions for improvement of activity and competitive advantages considering the national security of the state. Two groups of factors are distinguished, which have a greater influence on the level of competitiveness of products and, as a result, the level of national security of the state, to assess the competitive capabilities of products, product quality, the level of customer service, and the development opportunities of an individual enterprise within the limits of regional and national security of the state. A theory has been developed about the division of competitiveness factors into types of their consideration, which will strengthen the influence of positive factors and reduce the negative effect of some of them; will permit planning a high level of competitiveness in a given period in order to ensure the regional and national security of the state.

A Detailed Kinetic Study of Pyrolysis and Oxidation of Glycerol (Propane-1,2,3-triol)

Glycerol (propane-1,2,3-triol) has been an object of interest in recent years as a byproduct in the production of biodiesel, a parental molecule for syngas production, and a representative compound of the tar components derived from the carbohydrate fraction of biomass. Kinetic models describing the thermal degradation of glycerol toward lighter hydrocarbons and noncondensable gases are considered beneficial to an effective implementation of processes for its valorization. The aim of this work is to analyze and discuss the primary propagation reactions of glycerol, together with the ones of acetol (1-hydroxypropan-2-one) and 3-hydroxypropanal (the primary products of glycerol). This kinetic model is then evaluated in comparison with three independent sets of experimental measurements. The first one refers to pyrolysis experiments at intermediate temperatures, while syngas is obtained from glycerol pyrolysis at higher temperatures in the second one. The model is also tested against experiments on combustion of droplets of propanol–glycerol mixtures.

Computer Assisted Exercises Management Environment for Civil Security

Developing new training models along NATO and EU priorities, conducting computer assisted exercises and applying lessons learned from practical experience contribute to the strengthening the individual and team readiness for crises management. However, no matter how important CAX are for the enhancement of training in the integrated security sector, practically a unified CAX management environment in civil security area is still missing. This environment would form an organizational system comprising concepts, approaches, methodologies, tools and means for effective process implementation and their improvement. A model of unified CAX management environment for concept development, selection of methodology, application of tools, detailed analyses, prognosis, evaluations and scientifically based solutions is presented here. This model is based on the most accepted method for the enhancement of effectiveness, result-oriented management, ensuring transparency and oversight – the application of project management methodology for the entire management of CAX in civil security.

Linking learning and effective process implementation to mass customization capability

This study investigates the role of learning and effective process implementation in the development of mass customization capability. Building upon the knowledge-based view of the firm, we argue that internal and external learning are two knowledge-generation routines that contribute to effective process implementation. Effective process implementation, in turn, is a knowledge-based manufacturing capability, which, as a function of internal and external learning, leads to mass customization capability. We employ structural equation modeling to empirically test the effects of learning on mass customization capability, mediated by effective process implementation, using survey data collected from 100 manufacturing plants in 3 industries and 6 countries. Our results provide empirical evidence supporting the proposed model of the effect of internal and external learning on mass customization capability, fully mediated by effective process implementation. This research is one of the first studies to integrate insights from the knowledge-based view of the firm and mass customization. It complements the OM view of mass customization, which to date has largely focused on the technical side, by demonstrating the role of managerial practices and learning in cultivating mass customization capability in a manufacturing environment.

Contribution of manufacturing departments to technology development: An empirical analysis for machinery, electrical and electronics, and automobile plants in Japan

This paper focuses on the role of manufacturing departments in product and process technology development, with its relationship to other main fields of production management. We suggest five measurement scales concerning the technology development activities of manufacturing departments and show that three of the scales, effective process implementation, inter-functional design efforts and product design simplicity, are reliable and valid for 46 Japanese manufacturing plants. Using these measurement scales and a summarized super-scale of technology development, we empirically examine inter-industry and inter-class differences in the involvement of manufacturing departments in technology development and its relationship with other operations management practices and competitive performance to evaluate the contribution of manufacturing departments to technology development. A series of canonical correlation analyses demonstrate that the involvement in technology development is strongly influenced by human resource management, information systems, quality management, and manufacturing strategy, and that it plays a decisive role in determining the competitive performance of the manufacturing plants.

Quality management in mental health. II. Managing risk of dangerousness.

In 1995 R. L. Coleman and D. E. K. Hunter described a quality management approach that produced measurable improvements in quality of care in a state-operated psychiatric hospital. Continued evolution of this approach has subsequently enabled the development and implementation of effective processes for managing risk of dangerousness among patients throughout the hospital. Supported by management principles that promote hospital-wide quality improvement, clinicians and managers produced an environment that was conducive to promoting quality. The hospital-wide quality improvement context involved integrating multiple activities designed to promote quality of care, including significant collaborations with other health care organizations. The hospital's mission as an acute care psychiatric facility has required that it focus on assessing and managing risk of dangerousness in a systematic manner. This was done through developing and utilizing a predictive risk assessment instrument and indicators for managerial oversight. This was accomplished in these steps. First, clinical leaders rated potential criteria according to estimates of their ability to predict dangerousness behavior and reviewed their estimates in relation to clinical findings. Second (and concurrently), clinicians and managers implemented procedures to monitor clinical risk and performance. Finally, outcome data were reviewed. They suggested that this approach was effective in reducing risk of dangerous behavior among patients on all psychiatric wards.
