EVOLUTIONARY TRANSFORMATION OF THE QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM OF DEFENSE GOODS, SERVICES AND WORKS IN UKRAINE

It is inadvisable to limit the quality assurance system for defense-related goods/services/works solely to a set of mechanisms; it must necessarily encompass vertical and horizontal connections both among the relevant functional blocks (subsystems) and between the entities involved in their operation. In the context of not only geopolitical challenges but also the ongoing daily struggle against an aggressor state, it is critically important to establish an effective and efficient system for controlling the quality of defense-related goods/services/works. This article is dedicated to the systematization of the characteristics of transformational changes and the outlining of methodological foundations for the effective functioning of the quality assurance system for defense- related goods, works, and services in Ukraine. A conceptual three-level model of the quality assurance system for defense-related goods, services, and works has been formulated by distinguishing the essential parameters of their operation at the global, national, and micro levels. The peculiarities of forming a quality assurance system for defense-related products at both the micro and macro levels have been justified. It has been emphasized that the effectiveness of the evolutionary transformation of the quality assurance system for defense-related products at all levels of its representation should be characterized by the penetration of market forces into the mechanism of its operation. Attention has been drawn to the substantive directions for implementing the requirements of NATO standards in the AQAP series (AQAP 2110) within the framework of a corporate quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001. Since there are no legal or legislative requirements mandating the implementation of quality management systems, the enhancement and improvement of the efficiency of internal business and production processes should be a direct concern of the enterprise itself, driven by market forces. At the same time, the state should create stimulating mechanisms, for instance, by employing soft regulation; in military procurement specifications, it should mandate the presence of a certificate of compliance with AQAP requirements for the enterprises involved. The expected effects of the transformation of the studied system include economic, organizational, and worldview effects. A comparative analysis of the evolutionary transformation of the quality assurance system for defense-related goods, services, and works has been conducted based on the following criteria: the object and subject of control; the function performed by the control subject; the breadth of the controlling institution’s functionality; the perimeter of the controlling institution’s authority; the level of depth of control; and the level of subordination of the controlling institution to the Ministry of Defense. Despite the complexity of the task declared at the state level regarding the functioning of the state guarantee system for the quality of defense-related products, which is influenced not only by objective factors but also by worldview factors, its implementation has the potential to significantly enhance the quality of Ukraine’s defense products and substantially improve Ukraine’s rankings in terms of transparency, institutional maturity, and the ecological soundness of economic relations in the defense sector.

A Systematic review of integrated management system frameworks: Dimensions and implication for sustainable management of construction and demolition waste

The literature has increasingly dealt with management systems, using Total Quality Management (TQM) and Integrated Management System (IMS) interchangeably. While several terminologies have been used in the literature to refer to these two, the degree of integration of the various components of the management systems varies widely between studies. Therefore, there is a high possibility that it will be difficult to find a general or appropriate model without disciplinary barriers. Therefore, this systematic literature review (SLR) provides a holistic overview assessment and guidance of key existing studies on management system frameworks, components, factors influencing the choice of IMS, and challenges. Given the lack of existing studies focusing on construction waste, particular attention is given to the construction industry. This SLR intends to: (1) identify IMS dimensions and how the concept relates to environmental and sustainability management; (2) discover IMS frameworks and factors affecting them. A typical systematic literature search method was used to analyze the articles available on SCOPUS, Web of Science, Science Direct and Google Scholar Host between 2010 and 2022, resulting in the selection of 85 theses. The results show the following: (1) Studies indicate different forms of IMS frameworks depending on their specific study area; (2) A variety of conditions and factors affect IMS implementation, including cost reduction, optimized resources, unification of internal audits; Increased staff training; (3) Several limitations were identified in the analyzed papers, such as: the alignment of sustainability practices with environmental laws. Consequently, there is a need for a more interdisciplinary IMS approach, a deeper analysis of the effectiveness of the IMS framework across industries and regions.

Towards an Agile-Based Integrated Management Systems Framework

Purpose: We propose an unprecedented model for incorporating agile methodology (AM) into the development of an Integrated Management System (IMS). Design/Methodology: The research design employed a literature review and content analysis approach. We identified ten distinct IMS models from academic literature and subjected them to critical cross-analysis. Additionally, we conducted an exhaustive review of seminal agile literature to pinpoint essential characteristics of both AM and IMS. Findings: The comprehensive content analysis and coding process facilitated identifying fundamental agile elements to be integrated into the proposed framework. As a result, we present an interdisciplinary Agile-based Integrated Management System (AIMS) framework. Originality: This framework draws upon insights from diverse research sources and introduces a three-level analysis perspective: strategic, tactical, and operational. Integrating IMS with AM empowers organisations to make more agile and responsive decisions concerning IMS implementation. Within this framework, the IMS backlog is defined concurrently with its development, reflecting an adaptive approach in contrast to the conventional project scope delineation.

Performance Analysis and Optimization Proposal Using Balanced Scorecard Framework for IT Outsourcing Company, PT IT Expert System

IT outsourcing companies enable businesses to delegate their IT functions, focusing on core activities, cost efficiency, and access to advanced expertise and technology. The success of these companies hinges on employee performance, influenced by factors like psychological well-being, work environment, and organizational culture. In Indonesia, the IT outsourcing industry is rapidly transforming due to increasing demand for digital solutions and technology experts. Companies strive to provide faster, more efficient services while being flexible and adaptable. The IT services market revenue in Indonesia is expected to grow from $4.89 billion in 2023 to $9.07 billion in 2028, driven by digital transformation, supportive government policies, and increased IT infrastructure investments. PT IT Expert System (PT IES), established in 2010, provides IT services like software development and IT outsourcing. Despite sector growth, PT IES’s financial performance has declined, with monthly revenue dropping from Rp. 220 million to Rp. 140 million, affecting liquidity and leading to debt for paying salaries. This financial strain is partly due to 46% of their IT professionals being idle and a lack of software development projects. The research aims to identify the main causes of PT IES’s business problems, determine an appropriate performance management system framework, and establish suitable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The root cause identified is the absence of a performance management system, leading to an ineffective appraisal system and poor decision-making. The Balanced Scorecard framework is recommended for PT IES, translating strategic objectives into measurable processes across four perspectives. This framework streamlines performance evaluation and forecasting. The Balanced Scorecard framework proposal includes 4 perspectives, 9 strategic themes, and 18 strategies with key objectives. These strategies are cascaded into 92 business strategies and objectives with 92 KPIs.

Development of an integrated energy management system for off-grid solar applications with advanced solar forecasting, time-of-use tariffs, and direct load control

Effectively managing and maximizing the integration of renewable energy sources is essential for a sustainable power grid due to the stochastic and intermittent nature of renewable energy generation. This study develops a comprehensive Integrated Energy Management System incorporating supply-demand side management in the form of time-of-use credit, direct load control, and generator control to enhance photovoltaic utilization in off-grid applications. A novel three-step solar energy forecasting approach is proposed in this paper, utilizing low-level data fusion and regression models to predict next-day photovoltaic generation with improved accuracy, and a rule-based decision algorithm is developed to correct forecast errors and manage loads dynamically. A techno-economic analysis covering a 20-year duration is carried out for scenarios with and without the integrated energy management system; three configurations are investigated for supplying an off-grid residential home, including diesel generator, diesel generator/photovoltaic system, and diesel generator/photovoltaic system/integrated energy management system. Results reveal that the hybrid configuration with integrated energy management system achieved 44 % and 46 % reductions in costs and carbon dioxide emissions compared to the diesel generator alone, and 8 % and 9 % compared to the diesel generator/photovoltaic setup respectively. The Integrated Energy Management System further enhanced photovoltaic utilisation rate by over 113 % when compared to the diesel generator/photovoltaic system. Further evaluations include customer behaviour impacts, demonstrating that a fully automated system with 100 % compliance significantly outperforms systems with manual customer control, highlighting the detrimental effect of overrides on the efficiency of direct load control. The flexibility of the Integrated Energy Management System framework allows potential adaptation for on-grid applications, showcasing its utility in diverse operational contexts.

A Fusion Approach for UAV Onboard Flight Trajectory Management and Decision Making Based on the Combination of Enhanced A* Algorithm and Quadratic Programming

The rapid advancement of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies has led to an increasing demand for UAV operations in low-altitude, high-density, and complex airspace such as mountains or urban areas. In order to handle complex scenarios and ensure flight safety for UAVs with different flight missions beyond visual line of sight in such environments, a fusion framework of onboard autonomous flight trajectory management and decision-making system using global strategical path planning and local tactical trajectory optimization combination is proposed in this paper. The global strategical path planning is implemented by an enhanced A* algorithm under the multi-constraint of UAV positioning uncertainty and obstacle density to improve the safety and cost-effectiveness. The local tactical trajectory optimization is realized using quadratic programming to ensure smoothness, kinematic feasibility, and obstacle avoidance of the planned trajectory in dynamic environments. Receding-horizon control is used to ensure the flight path and trajectory planning efficiently and seamlessly. To assess the performance of the system, a terrain database and a navigation system are employed for environment and navigation performance simulation. The experimental results confirm that the fusion approach can realize better safety and cost-effectiveness through path planning with kino-dynamic feasible trajectory optimization.

Performance management system components and the role of the management accountant

PurposeWhile extant research does mention performance management systems as antecedent to a management accountant’s role, and that there is tension between both, there is little detailed research. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the extent to which a performance management system interacts with the role of a management accountant.Design/methodology/approachThe study is a cross-sectional field study, using interviews with paired management accountants and operative managers in 16 multinational organisations in Germany. The perspectives of both management accountants and operative managers are analysed separately. The role episode model theoretically informs the study.FindingsThe findings reveal management accountants distinguish between three roles of scorekeeping, controlling and business support, similar to prior literature. By contrast, operating managers are concerned with the value-adding and non-value-adding character of activities and thus support a dichotomy of management accountants’ roles. Drawing upon the role episode model, this study elucidates the interplay between performance management systems and the roles of management accountants, which encompass both role-taking and role-making dynamics. Additionally, this study contributes to management control literature by operationalising the components of a performance management system framework and linking them to the role of management accountants, as proposed by role antecedents in previous literature. The study also uncovers factors influencing role-taking and role-making, alongside examining the repercussions of role consensus or conflict based on the interaction with the operating manager.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper is subject to the normal limitations of case study research and generalisation. The findings may also be influenced by the cultural context of the study.Originality/valueAn updated role episode model is presented, highlighting further performance management systems’ components. The study also reveals factors enabling and/or inhibiting the management accountants’ business support role and the impact of role consensus/conflict.

Circular production operations – A management system's framework for seamless transition from linear to circular

Production companies’ ambition to reach sustainable development goals, has resulted in a rapid strategic movement towards circularity in production. Previous studies have indicated that a transition to circular production is affirmed and a prioritised action. However, few studies describe how to operate a circular production, and how to perform the transition from linear to circular. To fill this gap, this paper aims to explore strategies for a seamless transition and to add new knowledge in this area. A multiple case study was employed for this purpose, based on production companies located in Sweden. Collected data were analysed by an inductive coding process. The coding process generated managerial themes that characterise the transition process in production operations. From the themes, three main incubators: management systems, standards and strategy, form together with drivers and blockers a framework called Integrated Circularity Management Systems (ICMS). The research presented in this study adds new knowledge to the field of circular production operations management as well as gives practical guidance for decision-makers in the manufacturing industry on how to initiate a circularity transition in an established production system.

The development of energy saving measures as a basis of ensuring energy efficiency in higher education institutions in healthcare of Ukraine

The implementation of efficient energy management systems (EnMS) to meet the requirements of ISO 50001 is an urgent problem, taking into account the aggravation of the issue of energy supply and energy saving in the country, especially in the conditions of martial law. The main issue facing higher education institutions (HEIs) of Ukraine when creating rational activities for the use of energy resources is the implementation of an energy management system to meet the requirements of DSTU ISO 50001:2020. The main problems faced by all HEIs now are revision of legislation, rising prices and cost of energy resources, high inflation, frequent exchange rate changes. EnMS will allow each institution to monitor energy consumption and provide an opportunity to develop and implement effective energy saving projects. Aim. To theoretically substantiate and propose practical energy saving measures for a higher education institution (HEI) in the healthcare sector of Ukraine within the framework of the implemented energy management system. Materials and methods. The research materials were data from scientific publications, statistical reports and the results of own research, in particular measures for the energy modernization of electric lighting in public areas of educational buildings of HEI. Such scientific methods as the method of content analysis, comparative analysis, the method of generalization and systematization of information, as well as the methods of mathematical and statistical calculations were applied. Results and discussion. The calculation of electricity costs and savings for lighting public areas of all educational buildings of HEI of healthcare of Ukraine has been carried out, and the need for lighting equipment has been formed. The total electricity savings during the energy modernization of lighting in educational buildings of HEI of healthcare of Ukraine and the total economic efficiency from the electricity savings have been calculated. It has been found that the energy efficiency during the energy modernization of lighting in the educational buildings of HEI is 25,126 kWh/year, and the total economic efficiency from electricity savings is 69,600 UAH/year.

This, in turn, will allow HEI to form its own general energy supply strategy aimed at improving both energy efficiency and overall operational efficiency.

Strategies to enhance the level of service and safety of rural roads: A case study.

Faced with the contradiction between the increasing traffic volume and the aging road infrastructures in the rural area, this paper aims to propose feasible strategies to enhance the level of service and safety, by a case study of the rural area in the north Jintan district. In order to figure out current issues related to rural roads, a carefully designed investigation has been conducted, and the results of the two-week investigation include roads' basic information, traffic signs and protective facilities, surrounding landscape, and etc. Based on the field driving tests, specific problems including signs category, signs installation and facility maintenance have been fully analyzed. Meanwhile, the problem of roadnet connectivity has also been pointed out through the theory of complex network, and results show that the average node clustering coefficient and shortest path length perform worse than the demonstration plot of other rural districts. For the sake of rural traffic safety and management efficiency, both quantified and qualified strategies have been put forward. The quantified strategies include the regular inspection indicators, the safety sight distance at T-type crossings, as well as the risk severity of sections and the crossings. The qualified strategies involve the management of trucks and roadworks, the setting of signalized intersections, and the timely updates of traffic signs and facilities. Finally, an intelligent management system framework has been established for rural road traffic, with highly interconnected modules of data acquisition, risk identification and information publishing.

The Integrated Component-Based Knowledge Management System (ICB-KMS) for Mental Healthcare

The importance of mental health in the world needs special attention. A country with a dense and high population, such as Indonesia, is known to be vulnerable to the prevalence of mental disorders due to the pressure of various factors such as work, social, cultural, and environment. The high number of mental disorders threatens the country's economy because they are not optimally productive. Currently, accurate mental health data is complex due to stigma and a lack of understanding and knowledge in society. This research aims to apply the integrated component-based knowledge management system (ICB-KMS) framework for mental health. The study was conducted in five mental hospitals in the A category using quantitative and qualitative methods. More than 200 pieces of data were collected from practitioners and healthcare professionals (doctors and psychiatrists), medical staff, nurses, management, stakeholders, and policymakers. Four of the seven phases of the ICB-KMS framework were successfully carried out, i.e., requirement analysis, system design and architecture, knowledge acquisition and integration, and user interface design interaction. The result is a blueprint of ICB-KMS with functional and non-functional systems and application architecture.

Barriers and Facilitators to Collecting Surgical Outcome Data in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: An International Survey.

Perioperative data are essential to improve the safety of surgical care. However, surgical outcome research (SOR) from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is disproportionately sparse. We aimed to assess practices, barriers, facilitators, and perceptions influencing the collection and use of surgical outcome data (SOD) in LMICs. An internet-based survey was developed and disseminated to stakeholders involved in the care of surgical patients in LMICs. The Performance of Routine Information Systems Management framework was used to explore the frequency and relative importance of organizational, technical, and behavioral barriers. Associations were determined using χ 2 and ANOVA analyses. Final analysis included 229 surgeons, anesthesia providers, nurses, and administrators from 36 separate LMICs. A total of 58.1% of individuals reported that their institution had experience with collection of SOD and 73% of these reported a positive impact on patient care. Mentorship and research training was available in <50% of respondent's institutions; however, those who had these were more likely to publish SOD (P = 0.02). Sixteen barriers met the threshold for significance of which the top 3 were the burden of clinical responsibility, research costs, and accuracy of medical documentation. The most frequently proposed solutions were the availability of an electronic data collection platform (95.3%), dedicated research personnel (93.2%), and access to research training (93.2%). There are several barriers and facilitators to collection of SOD that are common across LMICs. Most of these can be addressed through targeted interventions and are highlighted in this study. We provide a path towards advancing SOR in LMICs.
