<div>Disaster debris management is critical to the success of disaster recovery systems. While there are multiple disaster mitigation strategies and post-disaster debris management plans, it is hard to implement because of: (i) the uniqueness of disaster incidents and randomness of its impacts; (ii) complexity of disaster debris removal operations, policy and regulations and (iii) interdependency of multiple infrastructure networks. Also, delayed debris removal operation affects following emergency response activities. Furthermore, uncontrolled debris removal activities can result in significant environmental and public health consequences. Therefore, there is a need for a systematic approach to optimizing post-disaster debris management systems. </div><div><br></div><div>This research is aimed to understand the complexity of debris management and associated emergent dynamics through the lens of an adaptive system-of-systems (SoS). To develop the adaptive decision support system, this research (a) identifies the interdependent infrastructure network within a community and its relative importance; (b) develops real-time GIS database to integrate the data associated with critical infrastructure and geographical characteristics in the community map; (c) designs and selects a TDMS network to analyze the required number, capacity and resources, based on engineering-technical, managerial, and social-political dynamics; (d) simulate the productivity of debris-management SoS based on the real-time GIS database to gain insight into the impact of the dynamical nature of a disaster-affected area; and (e) develop a visualized interactive GIS-based platform for debris management to communicate real-time debris clearance strategies and operations among different agencies and organizations.</div><div><br></div><div>To evaluate the proposed framework and decision support system, this research conducted a case study, debris removal operation in the city of Baton Rouge, after the 2016 Louisiana flood. The results demonstrated the influence of sub-systems such as TDMS locations and capacity, road network condition, available resources, existing regulations and policies, characteristics of community on the behavior of the entire disaster debris removal management as a whole. </div><div><br></div><div>The proposed decision support system for effective disaster debris management will be beneficial for emergency agencies and disaster-prone communities to evaluate and optimize their disaster debris management system. Also, the system can be systematically integrated with other emergency response systems to maximize the efficiency of the entire disaster responses during post-disaster situations. </div><div><br></div>

Актуальность формирования методического подхода к повышению эффективности использования производственного оборудования газотранспортных предприятий, обусловлена тем, что в условиях, когда сырьевые и энергетические ресурсы истощаются, а требования к сохранению окружающей среды становятся все более строгими, одним из основных факторов, определяющих конкурентоспособность отдельных предприятий и страны в целом, становится состояние производственного оборудования, а также система его эксплуатации и показатели эффективности использования. Целью написания магистерской диссертации является разработка методического подхода к повышению эффективности использования производственного оборудования газотранспортных предприятий. В представленной работе изучению подлежат теоретические и методические аспекты процесса управления и оценки эффективности эксплуатации производственного оборудования на газотранспортных предприятиях. Результаты обобщения и систематизации указанных теоретических и методических аспектов позволили сформировать комплексный методический подход к повышению эффективности использования производственного оборудования газотранспортных предприятий. В качестве источников информации, используемой в процессе написания представленной магистерской диссертации, выступила научно-исследовательская, учебная и методическая литература по проблеме исследования, данные финансовой отчетности и внутренней документации исследуемого газотранспортного предприятия, а также результаты эмпирических исследований, проводимых автором в процессе написания работы. / The relevance of the formation of a methodological approach to improving the efficiency of using the production equipment of gas transmission enterprises is due to the fact that in conditions when raw materials and energy resources are depleted, and the requirements for environmental preservation are becoming more stringent, one of the main factors determining the competitiveness of individual enterprises and a country in In general, the state of production equipment becomes, as well as the system of its operation and indicators of efficiency of use. The purpose of writing a master's thesis is to develop a methodological approach to increasing the efficiency of using the production equipment of gas transmission enterprises. In the presented work, the theoretical and methodological aspects of the process of management and evaluation of the efficiency of the operation of production equipment at gas transmission enterprises are subject to study. The results of the generalization and systematization of the above theoretical and methodological aspects have made it possible to form an integrated methodological approach to increasing the efficiency of using the production equipment of gas transmission enterprises. The sources of information used in the process of writing the presented master's thesis were research, educational and methodological literature on the research problem, data from financial statements and internal documentation of the investigated gas transportation enterprise, as well as the results of empirical research conducted by the author in the process of writing the work.
