Mejora de los tiempos de espera de camiones y reducción de movimientos improductivos en el despacho de contenedores mediante la metodología TAS + UEPS y gestión visual dentro de un terminal portuario del Callao / Improvement of waiting times and reduction of unproductive container movements in a Port Terminal using “TAS + UEPS” methodology and Visual Management

Orellana Gamarra, Jimmy Alfredo, Sermeño Santana, Luis Alonso 20 November 2020 (has links)
En la gestión de terminales portuarias se ha evidenciado un problema común, alto tráfico de camiones y largos tiempos de espera dada la variabilidad en la llegada de camiones. Este es un desafío importante para los puertos no solo en los países emergentes, sino también en los más desarrollados. Esta situación ha dado la oportunidad de investigar en esta materia y hacer uso de un Sistema de Citas para Camiones (TAS, por sus siglas en inglés) junto con otras herramientas correspondientes a la ingeniería industrial para la optimización de los procesos de atención de camiones dentro de una terminal portuaria en Perú. Para ello, se realiza un diagnóstico de la empresa objeto de estudio y mediante una simulación de sistemas discretos se valida la viabilidad técnica de la propuesta. Se demostró que un procedimiento de atención basado en citas, gestión Último en Entrar, Primero en Salir (UEPS) para contenedores y desarrollo de la gestión visual dentro del patio de contenedores; es una opción altamente viable para reducir tiempos de espera y movimientos improductivos de contenedores. / In the management of port terminals a common problem has been evidenced, high traffic of trucks and long waiting times given the variability of trucks arrival. This is a significant challenge for ports not only in emerging countries, but also in the more developed ones. This situation has given the opportunity to investigate in this matter and make use of a Truck Appointment System (TAS) together with other tools corresponding to industrial engineering for the optimization of truck service processes within a port terminal in Peru. To do this, a diagnosis is made of the company object of study and through a simulation of discrete systems, the technical viability of the proposal is validated. It was demonstrated that a procedure of attention based on appointments, Last in, First Out (LIFO) management for containers and development of visual management within the container yard; it is a highly viable option to shorten waiting times and unproductive movements of containers. / Trabajo de Suficiencia Profesional

Intervención con equipamiento Portuario y Cultural para la Ciudad de Cerro Azul / Intervention with Port and Cultural equipment for the City of Cerro Azul

Flecha Corvetto, Carlos 17 May 2021 (has links)
Cerro Azul es una caleta de pescadores con gran historia entre sus calles, orillas y cerros; que va desde el asentamiento de la cultura Huarco en sus acantilados, hasta la revolución agrícola y llegada de los primeros japoneses al Perú. Lamentablemente, Cerro Azul ha perdido su identidad y carácter, dejando que poco a poco su historia quede como un vago recuerdo de sólo aquellos que la conocen bien. El proyecto planteado busca realzar esta tan importante caleta de pescadores del sur de Lima, dándole la relevancia que merece y devolviéndole a sus pobladores el orgullo de pertenecer a Cerro Azul. Como partida inicial, se plantea una propuesta urbana que ayuda a reordenar los tránsitos y flujos que por el momento están quebrados. Asimismo, se crea un nuevo hito en la ciudad donde se ubicará el proyecto en mención, acompañado de una gran plaza que ayudará a unificar tanto física como socialmente a los dos malecones que actualmente se encuentran fraccionados: el malecón del balneario y el de la zona residencial. De esta manera se proyectan tres tipologías: (i), un nuevo terminal pesquero que cumpla con las demandas de esta caleta, (ii) un centro de capacitación que ayude a inculcar e involucrar a la población con la pesca y cultura y, (iii) finalmente, un museo de sitio que muestre toda la vasta historia y reafirme a sus visitantes y pobladores el orgullo y la importancia de esta caleta de pescadores. / Cerro Azul is a fishing cove with a great history among its streets, shores and hills; from the settlement of the Huarco culture on its cliffs, to the agricultural revolution and the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants to Peru. Unfortunately, Cerro Azul has lost its identity and character, leaving little by little its history as a vague memory of only those who know it well. The project seeks to enhance this important fishing cove in the south of Lima, giving it the relevance it deserves and returning the pride of belonging to Cerro Azul to its inhabitants As a starting point, an urban renewal is proposed to help reorder the traffic and transit flows that are currently broken. Likewise, a new landmark is created in the city where the project will be located, accompanied by a large plaza that will help integrate physically and socially the two piers that are currently divided: the pier of the seaside resort and the residential area. In this way, three typologies are presented: (i), a new fishing terminal that meets the demands of this cove, (ii) a training center that will help involve and impress the population with fishing and culture, and (iii) finally, a site museum that will show the vast history of Cerro Azul and reaffirm to its visitors and residents the pride and importance of this fishing cove. / Tesis

P2P SIP over mobile ad hoc networks / [SIP P2P pour les réseaux mobiles ad hoc]

Wongsaardsakul, Thirapon 04 October 2010 (has links)
Cette thèse propose une nouvelle architecture Peer-to-Peer pour l’établissement de sessions SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) sur les réseaux ad hoc. SIP est un protocole con¸cu à l’origine sur un modèle centralisé est n’est pas nativement adapté aux réseaux mobiles ad hoc (MANET) en raison de leurs caractéristiques inhérentes de mobilité. Nous avons ciblé nos études sur un mécanisme de lookup distribué Peer-to-Peer (P2P) tolérant aux fautes, même en cas de mobilité des noeuds du réseau. Cette thèse s’articule autour de quatre principales contributions: Nous introduisons le concept de Structured Mesh Overlay Network (SMON) : un overlay P2P sur MANET permettant d’effectuer des lookups de ressources rapides dans un environnement ad hoc. SMON utilise une architecture cross layer design basée sur une Distributed Hash Table (DHT) utilisant directement les informations de routage OLSR. Cette architecture cross layer permet d’optimiser les performances du réseau overlay lors d’un changement de topologie du réseau. La seconde contribution, SIPMON, est un overlay SIP sur réseau SMON. Sa particularité est d’utiliser un DHT pour distribuer les identifiants d’objet SIP dans le réseau overlay SMON. Les expérimentations menées prouvent que cette approche garantit une durée de découverte SIP constante et permet un établissement de session plus rapide entre deux usagers sur réseau ad hoc. SIPMON ne s’applique cependant qu’à un réseau MANET isolé. Notre troisième contribution SIPMON+ permet un interfonctionnement de plusieurs overlays SIPMON connectés à Internet. SIPMON+ unifie donc les overlays de réseau et permet de joindre un client SIP qu’il soit localisé sur un réseau ad hoc ou sur l’internet. De plus, SIPMON+ permet une continuité de service sans couture lors du passage entre un réseau MANET et un réseau d’infrastructure. Notre prototype a démontré que les performances de temps d’établissement d’appel SIPMON+ étaient meilleures que pour l’approche concurrente MANEMO (MANET for Network Mobility). Le scénario d’usage principal est la fourniture de services de communication multimédia d’urgence rapidement déployables en cas de catastrophe majeure. Nous avons développé un prototype SIPMON+ totalement fonctionnel de service de communication P2P multimédia. Ce prototype a été expérimenté en situation réelle de catastrophe. Notre prototype sans infrastructure a donné de biens meilleurs résultats que MANEMO en termes de temps de déploiement, de taux de perte de paquets et de temps d’établissement d’appel. / This work presents a novel Peer to Peer (P2P) framework for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) on Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET). SIP is a client-server model of computing which can introduce a single point of failure problem. P2P SIP addresses this problem by using a distributed implementation based on a P2P paradigm. However, both the traditional SIP and P2P SIP architectures are not suitable for MANETs because they are initially designed for infrastructured networks whose most nodes are static. We focus on distributed P2P resource lookup mechanisms for SIP which can tolerate failures resulting from the node mobility. Our target application is SIP-based multimedia communication in a rapidly deployable disaster emergency network. To achieve our goal, we provide four contributions as follows. The first contribution is a novel P2P lookup architecture based on a concept of P2P overlay network called a Structured Mesh Overlay Network (SMON). This overlay network enables P2P applications to perform fast resource lookups in the MANET environment. SMON utilizes a cross layer design based on the Distributed Hashing Table (DHT) and has direct access to OLSR routing information. Its cross layer design allows optimizing the overlay network performance during the change of network topology. The second contribution is a distributed SIP architecture on MANET providing SIP user location discovery in a P2P manner which tolerates single-point and multiple-point of failures. Our approach extends the traditional SIP user location discovery by utilizing DHT in SMON to distribute SIP object identifiers over SMON. It offers a constant time on SIP user discovery which results in a fast call setup time between two MANET users. From simulation and experiment results, we find that SIPMON provides the lowest call setup delay when compared to the existing broadcast-based approaches. The third contribution is an extended SIPMON supporting several participating MANETs connected to Internet. This extension (SIPMON+) provides seamless mobility support allowing a SIP user to roam from an ad hoc network to an infrastructured network such as Internet without interrupting an ongoing session. We propose a novel OLSR Overlay Network (OON), a single overlay network containing MANET nodes and some nodes on the Internet. These nodes can communicate using the same OLSR routing protocol. Therefore, SIPMON can be automatically extended without modifying SIPMON internal operations. Through our test-bed experiments, we prove that SIPMON+ has better performance in terms of call setup delay and handoff delay than MANET for Network Mobility (MANEMO). The fourth contribution is a proof-of-concept and a prototype of P2P multimedia communication based on SIPMON+ for post disaster recovery missions. We evaluate our prototype and MANEMO-based approaches through experimentation in real disaster situations (Vehicle to Infrastructure scenarios). We found that our prototype outperforms MANEMO-based approaches in terms of call setup delay, packet loss, and deployment time.

Effektivisering av aktiviteterna i ett internt logistikflöde : En fallstudie på Stora Ensos bruk i Skoghall / Improved efficiency of the activities in an internal logistics flow : A case study of Stora Enso’s mill at Skoghall

Windh, Rebecca, Traaholt, Hanna January 2023 (has links)
Under senare år har Stora Enso sett en stadig och ökande efterfrågan. För att möjliggöra en ökad produktion framöver, ska en investering göras vid ena kartongmaskinen på Skoghalls bruk. En ökad produktion ställer krav på att det efterföljande flödet fungerar väl och idag, upplever företaget att dagens interna logistikflöde inte alltid fungerar problemfritt. För att öka förutsättningarna för att hantera produktionsökningen, finns det därför ett intresse av att undersöka aktiviteterna i det studerade flödet och se var slöseri uppstår för att kunna reducera eller eliminera dem. Syftet med studien är därmed; Ta fram rekommenderade åtgärdsförslag för hur aktiviteterna i Skoghalls bruks internlogistik kan effektiviseras. Studien utgick ifrån tre huvudfrågor: Vilka slöserier finns det kopplat till brukslagret och Vänerterminalen och var förekommer dem?, Vilka åtgärdsförslag finns för de identifierade slöserierna? och Vilka av de identifierade åtgärdsförslagen rekommenderas för Skoghalls bruk?. Den första huvudfrågan besvarades genom att en kartläggning av nuläget gjordes med inspiration från de två första stegen av en värdeflödesanlys och ett spagettidiagram. Kartläggningen baserades på intervjuer, observationer och datainsamling som genomfördes på såväl brukslagret som Vänerterminalen. Intervjuerna genomfördes med anställda som antingen arbetade operativt eller administrativt i brukslagret och Vänerterminalen, för att få en heltäckande bild över hur aktiviteterna genomfördes och var slöserier uppstår i aktiviteterna. Utifrån informationsinsamlningen togs sju födeskartor fram som innehöll tidsmätningar för de olika aktiviteterna. Baserat på kartläggningen och sammanställningen av informationsinsamlingen identifierades slöserier kopplat till aktiviteterna. Totalt identifierades fem olika typer av slöserier vilka var: onödig transport, defekta produkter, onödig rörelse, väntan och lager. För att besvara den andra huvudfrågan genomfördes först en rotorsaksanalys, med hjälp av metoderna 5 varför och fiskbensdiagram, där rotorsakerna till slöserierna identifierades. Baserat på rotorsakerna, togs nio åtgärdsförslag fram som ämnade reducera slöserierna och därmed effektivisera aktiviteterna i det studerade systemet. Slutligen besvarades den sista huvudfrågan med hjälp av ett insats-verkan diagram där åtgärdsförslag rekommenderades utifrån förväntad effekt och insats. Baserat på förväntad effekt respektive insats definierades åtgärdsförslagen som genomförbar, möjlig, överväga och avfärda. Sammanfattningsvis beslutades fyra åtgärdsförslag som genomförbara vilka rekommenderades i första hand. Vidare beslutades tre åtgärdsförslag som möjliga vilket innebär en lägre effekt än de genomförbara och de rekommenderas därför i andra hand. Två åtgärdsförslag beslutades för att övervägas, vilka kännetecknas av både en hög insats och effekt och rekommenderas därför till att undersökas vidare för att se om insatsen kan reduceras innan åtgärdsförslaget blir aktuellt. Inget åtgärdsförslag bedömdes ha så pass låg effekt i kombination med hög insats att det bör avfärdas. I figur 1 nedan ses en sammanställning av de framtagna åtgärdsförslagen. / In recent years, Stora Enso has seen steady and increasing demand. To enable increased production in the future, an investment will be made in one of the board machines at Skoghall Mill. Increased production requires that the subsequent flow works well, and today the company has expressed that the current internal logistics flow does not always work smoothly. In order to increase the conditions for managing the increase in production, there is an interest in investigating the activities in the studied flow. This is to see where waste occur in order to reduce or eliminate them. The purpose of the study is thus; To provide recommended suggestions for how the activities in Skoghall Mill’s internal logistics can be made more efficient. The study was based on three different main questions: What wastes are there linked to the mill warehouse and V¨anerterminalen and where do they occur?, What suggestions are proposed for the identified wastes? and Which of the identified suggestions are recommended for Skoghall mill?. The first main question was answered by mapping the current situation with inspiration from the first two steps of a value stream mapping and a spaghetti diagram. The mapping was based on the interviews, observations, and data collection conducted at both the mill warehouse and V¨anerterminalen during the implementation phase. The interviews were conducted with employees who worked either operationally or administratively in the mill warehouse and V¨anerterminalen, to get a comprehensive picture of how the activities were carried out and where waste occurs in the activities. Based on the collected information, seven flow maps were produced that contained time measurements for the different activities. Based on the mapping and the collected information, wastes linked to different activities were identified. A total of five different wastes were identified which were:transportation, defects, motion, waiting and inventory. To answer the second main question, a root cause analysis was first carried out, using the 5 why and fishbone diagram methods, where the root causes of the wastes were identified. Based on the root causes, nine proposed suggestions were developed that aimed to reduce waste and thus make the activities in the studied system more efficient. Finally, the last main question was answered using an impact-effort diagram where recommended suggestions were presented based on expected impact and effort. Based on expected impact and effort the proposed suggestions were defined as feasible, possible, consider and reject. To summarise, four proposed suggestions were decided to be feasible and recommended in the first instance. In addition, three proposed suggestions were identified as possible, which means a lower impact than the feasible ones, and are therefore recommended in the second place. Two proposed suggestions were decided to be considered, and these proposed suggestions are characterised by both a high effort and impact and are therefore recommended to be investigated further to see if the effort can be reduced before the proposed suggestion becomes relevant. No proposed suggestion was judged to have such a low impact in combination with high effort that it should be dismissed. Figure 2 below shows a summary of the proposed suggestions.

[pt] DESENHO DE UM SISTEMA DE MEDIÇÃO DE DESEMPENHO DE UM ELO DA CADEIA DE SUPRIMENTOS DA INDÚSTRIA AUTOMOTIVA / [en] DESIGN OF A PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR A LINK IN THE AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLY CHAIN

GABRIEL SIMOES DE OLIVEIRA 24 August 2020 (has links)
[pt] Sistemas de Medição de desempenho (SMDs) vem ganhando crescente destaque nos ambientes corporativo e acadêmico, tornando-se uma importante ferramenta para a gestão de operações. Contudo, ainda há uma carência de estudos de SMD contemplando a indústria automotiva, em particular, em elos específicos de sua cadeia de suprimentos como os associados aos terminais de veículos em áreas portuárias. A literatura acadêmica também carece de mais estudos com evidências empíricas sobre a aplicabilidade dos SMDs que, em sua maioria, concentram-se em metodologias de estudo de caso ou surveys. Neste contexto, o objetivo desta dissertação é desenhar um SMD, com foco no conjunto de indicadores de desempenho, para as operações de um terminal de veículos localizado no porto do Rio de Janeiro. A presente dissertação utiliza o método empírico de pesquisa-ação e apresenta as lições aprendidas no desenho do SMD que culminou no desenvolvimento de um Painel de Bordo experimental, abastecido com seis meses de dados reais. O SMD forneceu suporte a alta administração para tomadas de decisão, além de corroborar questões chaves da literatura referentes ao desenvolvimento do SMD, como a importância do apoio da alta administração, mitigação dos efeitos das limitações dos sistemas de informação, clareza e simplicidade no desenho do SMD de maneira que seja evitado o excesso de indicadores de desempenho no sistema. / [en] Performance Measurement Systems (PMSs) have gained increasing prominence in the corporate and academic environments, becoming an essential tool for operations management. However, there is still a lack of PMSs studies contemplating the automotive industry, particularly, in specific links of its supply chain such as those associated with vehicle terminals in port areas. The academic literature also lacks more studies with empirical evidence on the applicability of PMS, which mostly focuses on case study methodologies or surveys. Within this context, the objective of this dissertation is to design a PMS, focusing on the set of performance indicators, for the operations of a vehicle s terminal located in the port of Rio de Janeiro. This dissertation uses the empirical action-research method and presents the lessons learned in the design of the PMS, which culminated in the development of an experimental Maple Panel, supplied with six months of real data. The PMS provided support to top management for decision making, in addition to corroborating key issues in the literature regarding, like highlighting the importance of support from top management, mitigating the effects of the limitations of information systems, clarity and simplicity in the design of SMD in order to avoid excessive performance indicators in the system.

Godsplacering för minskad körsträcka i en intermodal terminal : En studie om att optimera placering av gods hos SCA Logistics

Edvall Ung, Erik January 2023 (has links)
The placement of goods is considered an important aspect to minimize mileage, which reduces costs and the amount of environmentally hazardous emissions. In this case study with a quantitative approach, the aim was to optimize the placement of goods in an intermodal terminal to minimize the distances between its warehouses and the different delivery approaches for current and future operations. For the purpose to be fulfilled and an optimization model to be created, the flow of goods through the terminal needed to be identified and quantified. With the help of the data that emerged via the quantification, calculations of the capacities of the storage spaces could be carried out. The mileage was then calculated by using the business's current goods location to be able to compare with the results of the optimization model. The optimization was done in LINGO where an optimization model was created using linear programming with the assignment to minimize the mileage of the business. The theoretical result showed that using an optimal goods placement for the current situation reduced the mileage by approximately 21 % for the goods that was in the storage areas at the time of the data collection. For the future situation with an expanded terminal, cargo placement and priority orders could be demonstrated using planned volumes for the year 2025. The study states that by using a simple linear programming model, optimal goods placement can be determined in an intermodal terminal to minimize its mileage. / Godsplacering anses vara en betydelsefull aspekt för att minimera körsträckor, vilket minskar kostnaderna och även mängden miljöfarligt utsläpp. I denna fallstudie med kvantitativ ansats var syftet att optimera godsplaceringen i en intermodal terminal för att minimera dess körsträckor mellan lager och de olika utleveranssätten för den nuvarande samt framtida verksamhet. För att syftet ska uppfyllas och en optimeringsmodell kunna skapas behövdes därmed godsens flöde genom terminalen identifieras och kvantifieras. Med hjälp av den data som framkom via kvantifieringen kunde beräkningar av lagringsutrymmenas kapaciteter genomföras. Därefter beräknades körsträckan utav verksamhetens nuvarande godsplacering för att kunna jämföras med optimeringsmodellens resultat. Optimeringen genomfördes i verktyget LINGO där en optimeringsmodell skapades med hjälp av linjärprogrammering och dess mål var att minimera körsträckorna hos verksamheten. Det teoretiska resultatet påvisade att användning av en optimal godsplacering för nuläget minskade körsträckorna med cirka 21 % för den mängd gods som fanns i lagringsutrymmena vid datainsamlingen. För det framtida läget med en utbyggd terminal kunde godsplacering och prioriteringsordningar påvisas med hjälp av planerade volymer för år 2025. Studien konstaterar att med hjälp av en simpel linjärprogrammeringsmodell kan optimal godsplacering bestämmas i en intermodal terminal för att minimera dess körsträckor.

HELICOPTER BORNE TELEMETRY DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM FOR DOWN RANGE APPLICATIONS

Varaprasad, K. S., Murthy, K. S. R. 10 1900 (has links)
ITC/USA 2005 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2005 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The terminal phase telemetry data acquisition has always been a challenging task especially for long and medium range test launches. The task becomes more complicated if the article under test describes a very low altitude cruise terminal phase trajectory. Generally, for long and medium range missions test fired into sea the terminal phase data is acquired by deploying instrumented ships in the vicinity of impact point but beyond the safety corridor. But for long range missions with low altitude cruise terminal phase trajectory and wide safety corridor this conventional approach will not work out because of limitation of LOS from the ship platforms. Hence, for such applications an air borne telemetry receiving system is also to be added to the down range instrumentation network. This paper describes a typical and cost effective air borne system realized utilizing the Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) products and technology. This paper also addresses as to how the signal scattering problems are tackled in the design implementation.
