Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous rechercherons comment éliminer les opérations de non-valeur-ajoutée dans la fabrication des pièces en matériaux composites incluant la fixation des puces RFID directement dans les pièces en matériaux composites utilisées dans les industries aéronautiques et spatiales. Nous proposerons une nouvelle méthode innovante. Cette méthode industrielle utilise la technologie RFID pour aider éliminer les étapes de non-valeur-ajoutée qui empêchent des améliorations opérationnelles. En plus d’aider à éliminer des opérations de non-valeur-ajoutée, cette technologie peut permettre d’augmenter la communication transverse entre des processus opérationnels. L'utilisation appropriée de technologie RFID peut aussi aider à augmenter la visibilité des produits, des données et des outils dans la fabrication. Les étapes de contrôle inutiles qui induisent des délais de processus plus importants et des coûts additionnels plus élevés peuvent automatiquement être éliminées. De plus, cette méthode permet d’assurer une macro et micro traçabilité. La technologie RFID marche très bien tant avec la fibre de verre qu'avec les composés de fibre de carbone industriels. L’intégration de ces aides technologiques dans les pièces composites permet de créer des matériaux "intelligents" et de communiquer avec d'autres systèmes industriels qui sont voisins, ou dans un autre pays via le logiciel. Et cette capacité peut aider à réduire la documentation et améliorer la traçabilité pendant les phases industrielles transverses de l'entreprise. Les Informations peuvent être stockées sur la puce à l’avance ou bien après chaque processus. Ceci permet aussi d’élaborer de nouveaux processus et des occasions de traitement de la part de la société pour les parties qui sont en service. De cette façon, la puce peut permettre une communication entre le fabricant et le client. Les informations sur l'Étiquette RFID permettent aux pièces d'être gérées plus rapidement et à distance pendant tout le cycle de vie de la pièce. Les informations enregistrées sur la puce pendant la fabrication de la pièce composite peuvent même être lues, avec un ajout d’information, pendant que la pièce est en service. La méthode que nous proposons est la fixation la puce RFID dans les pièces en matériaux composites. Le dépistage et le contrôle automatiques de ces parties permettra à nos processus industriels d'être plus efficaces et visibles pendant la fabrication, aussi bien que le support après la livraison du produit. Dans un proche avenir, des entreprises nationales et internationales transformeront leur ingénierie et procédés de fabrication en appliquant cette méthode novatrice qui accélère les cycles de vie, maximise l'efficacité et élimine des étapes inutiles dans le processus. En conséquence, ces entreprises seront dans une bien meilleure position pour maximiser leur productivité et des nouvelles occasions de produit/marché aussi bien que la documentation de produit efficace et les processus de production aideront des entreprise ou les clients à abaisser leurs coûts d'exploitation, à augmenter la productivité des salariés, à améliorer la conformité, le délai de diminution et à faire des progrès plus rapides dans le domaine de la durabilité. En résumé, le fait de diminuer le délai de livraison à chaque étape dans le processus "On-Target" soutiendra) grandement la performance de " On-Cost" et " On-Quality". En utilisant cette méthode, les fabricants deviendront capables de diminuer considérablement leurs coûts, d’améliorer de façon significative les améliorations de processus, d’augmenter l’innovation à chaque étape du processus et de lancer dans l’entreprise des actions qui lui conféreront une vaste excellence opérationnelle. / The main objective of this thesis is to improve the traditional manufacturing processes in the company and to replace the traditional manufacturing methodology by new method in order to improve the manufacturing efficiency (time, cost, quality, safety of the products etc.). In the frame of this thesis, we will focus on how to eliminate the non-value added operations in the manufacturing by the embedding RFID tags directly in the composite parts used in aerospace companies. We will propose a new innovative state of the art composite manufacturing method that uses RFID technology to help eliminate non-value added manual steps that impede operational improvements. This technology can help to eliminate non-value added operations and increase the communication across operational processes. The appropriate use of RFID technology can also help increase the visibility of the products, data, and tools in manufacturing. The unnecessary control steps which induce higher process lead-times and higher additional costs can automatically be eliminated. The macro and micro traceability of processes and products (such as the part information, lifecycle, movement history and location) can all be automated and digitized with less manual intervention and less paper documentation. Carefully using this technology across our production processes, we can rapidly transform operational processes and improve their accuracy, control and efficiency. This is a lean, innovative and value adding innovative approach that significantly increases the visibility and monitoring of processes. RFID technology works very well with both glass and carbon fibre composites’ manufacturing. This technology helps makes the composite parts “smart” and communicate with other manufacturing systems that are nearby or in another country via software. And this capability can help reduce documentation and improve traceability during the manufacturing phases and across the company. Information can be stored on the tag before and/or after each process. This also enables new process and company service opportunities for parts that are in-service. In this way, the tag can enable a communication between the manufacturer and customer. The information on the RFID Tag enables the parts to be managed faster and remotely across the full lifecycle of the part. The information recorded on the RFID Tag during the manufacturing of the composite parts can even be read and more information can be read during in-service. This information can create an advantage for any modification of the parts, repair, and maintenance in the future. In this way, RFID based processes can reduce unnecessary steps across the whole supply chain and reduce the high workload of manual processes and documentation. Furthermore, costs can be minimized due to increased visibility and elimination of unnecessary steps across processes. Using RFID technology by direct embedding of the RFID Tag in the composite parts intends to measure and reduce “Process Variation”. The idea here is not to move the tasks, but to optimize and eliminating the non-value added tasks by using RFID based production method “embedding of RFID Tag in Composite parts”. The method that we propose is embedding the RFID tag in the composite parts. Automatically tracking and monitoring these parts will enable our industrial processes to be more efficient and visible during manufacturing as well as in service-processes that occur after delivery of the product. As mentioned previously, the intention here to enable our composite parts to be “smart” so they can be communicated to automatically across their lifecycle. This will help create an industrial "Internet of Things”. [...]

The article reviews the sugarcane distillery sector of Peru and its main operational problems. Based on the literature reviewed and discussed with academics who have knowledge of the food supply chain, an integrated hybrid model was developed to help any distillery with lower levels of competitiveness than its competitors in other sectors, such as pisco, applying techniques of process management and food safety to increase the efficiency of liquor distilleries. The findings confirm that distilleries can increase their efficiency, thanks to the higher performance of their operations after their alignment with the integrated model. / Revisión por pares

Despite the steady rise in online education and increasingly empirical studies on related learning technologies and technology support, there is considerable evidence that the field has not kept the pace with studies related to online education administrators (OEAs). Further investigation was needed into OEAs’ practice of day-to-day administration of their programs. Therefore, this study examined OEAs’ perceptions of their areas of responsibility, tasks to be accomplished and skills and knowledge needed for them to get the job done. A three-round Delphi research technique was employed as a structured group communication method between five participants to answer three research questions. The protocol consisted of anonymous participants using online surveys to respond to several rounds of questioning. The research concluded with a group consensus. The results produced nine functional areas, 12 operational tasks and 14 competencies of skills and knowledge for OEAs. Based on the findings, it was now possible to illustrate an operational management competency model as a resource for the administrator in charge of an online education program. After conclusions were drawn, the study provided recommendations for future research.

Problem Mergers and acquisitions are a common way for organisations to extend their operations. By merging two or more organisations into one, the newly formed constellation can access new markets and increase the market presence or control of the supply chain. Previous research has demonstrated that mergers and acquisitions generally need to improve in creating added value. There appears to be a gap in existing research regarding the extent managers utilise and execute knowledge integration. The relationship between operational managers and organisational members is yet to be explored in the context of M&As, which has derived the problem statement of this thesis.   Purpose This thesis aims to gain insights into how organisational members and operational managers contribute to knowledge integration. The thesis also aims to reveal what essential aspects influence the outcome of mergers and acquisitions processes, partially with consideration to organisational members and operational managers, but also to other variables that are of significance during mergers and acquisitions.   Methodology The thesis is conducted through the qualitative research method. The thesis is mainly based on semi-structured interviews with professionals with broad experience in mergers and acquisitions processes and their integration phases. Aside from the interviews, data from secondary cases on mergers and acquisitions have been condensed to view additional perspectives and complement the primary data.   Findings The thesis finds that operational managers are in control of the overhauling structure of mergers and acquisitions processes. Although, despite the control of the operational manager, they are to be considered an enabler, leaving the organisational member as the executer, which implies that one cannot operate without the other. It appears in the thesis that mergers and acquisitions are complex constructs and that there are numerous varying variables. Therefore, one of the thesis’ main findings highlights the importance of understanding the interrelationship between operational management and organisational members, especially in the context of mergers and acquisitions.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma descrição dos modelos tecnológicos aplicáveis em terminais \"OffShore\", especializados em apoio logístico às unidades marítimas de extração de petróleo. Com a expansão do setor petrolífero brasileiro, o apoio logístico ganhou uma importância considerável, tendo em vista o aumento no número de unidades marítimas e a distâncias, superiores a 200 km da costa brasileira. Os terminais \"OffShore\" desempenham um papel importante no elo de transição entre as unidades marítimas e o transporte terrestre e precisam buscar eficiência e rapidez nos seus serviços para atingir índices de produtividade compatíveis com expectativa de aumento na movimentação de carga. A inserção da inteligência computacional permite a otimização dos tempos de espera dos caminhões, a diminuição do tempo de operação das embarcações e do tempo de atendimento dos caminhões, das taxas de ocupação dos equipamentos e otimiza o arranjo da carga no estoque. Um terminal \"OffShore\" é um sistema com vários componentes interligados entre si, consequentemente a ineficiência de um componente interfere em toda cadeia logística do terminal. / The current work aims to show a description of the technological models applicable to OffShore terminals, specialized in logistic support to the maritime units of oil extraction. With the expansion of the Brazilian oil industry, logistics has gained considerable importance in view of the increase in the number of marine units and distances greater than 200 km from the Brazilian coast. The Offshore terminals play an important role in link units transition between sea and land transport, and must seek efficiency and speed in its services to achieve productivity levels consistent with expected increase in cargo handling. The integration of computational intelligence enables optimization of waiting times of trucks, reducing the operating time of vessels and the service time of the trucks, the occupancy rates of the equipment and the arrangement optimizes the load on the stock. A Offshore terminal is a system with several components interconnected, hence the inefficiency of one component affects the entire logistics chain in the terminal.
