Organisations intend to optimise their supply chain (SC) by following the most suitable SC strategies that serve their business interest to gain a competitive advantage. This paper reviews the literature to extract the relationship between leagile attributes and SC drivers to estimate total supply chain value (TSCV). As a result, three leagile attributes efficiency & flexibility (E&F), decoupling point (DP) and virtual network (VN) along with four main SC drivers consisting of production, distribution, inventory and information have been deployed. Effects of leagile attributes to the SC drivers are evaluated to measure TSCV using four performance metrics i.e., cost, quality, service and lead time. This research developed a conceptual connectivity map to measure the average value of each driver at a micro-level (upstream/downstream) to evaluate TSCV at the macro-level for SC optimisation. The proposed connectivity map would support supply chain managers to implement the leagile strategy by measuring TSCV.
组织打算通过遵循最合适的供应链战略来优化他们的供应链,以服务于他们的商业利益,从而获得竞争优势。本文回顾了相关文献,提取了敏捷属性与供应链驱动因素之间的关系,以估计供应链总价值。因此,部署了三个敏捷属性,即效率和灵活性(E&F)、解耦点(DP)和虚拟网络(VN),以及四个主要的SC驱动因素,包括生产、分销、库存和信息。评估敏捷属性对供应链驱动程序的影响,使用四个绩效指标,即成本、质量、服务和交货期来衡量TSCV。本研究开发了一个概念性的连通性图,在微观层面(上游/下游)测量每个驱动程序的平均值,以评估宏观层面的TSCV,以实现SC优化。所提出的连接图将支持供应链管理者通过度量TSCV来实施敏捷战略。

Nowadays, businesses aim to respond to customer needs at unprecedented speed. Thus, many companies are rushing to the DevOps movement. DevOps is the combination of Development and Operations and a new way of thinking in the software engineering domain. However, no common understanding of what it means has yet been achieved. Also, no adoption models or fine-grained maturity models to assist DevOps maturation and implementation were identified. Therefore, this research attempt to fill these gaps. A systematic literature review is performed to identify the determining factors contributing to the implementation of DevOps, including the main capabilities and areas with which it evolves. Then, two sets of interviews with DevOps experts were performed and their experience used to build the DevOps Maturity Model. The DevOps maturity model was then developed grounded on scientific and professional viewpoints. Once developed the Maturity Model was demonstrated in a real organisation.
如今,企业的目标是以前所未有的速度响应客户的需求。因此,许多公司都在涌向DevOps运动。DevOps是开发和运营的结合,是软件工程领域的一种新思维方式。然而,对它的含义还没有达成共识。此外,没有发现任何采用模型或细粒度成熟度模型来帮助DevOps成熟化和实现。因此,本研究试图填补这些空白。进行了系统的文献综述,以确定有助于DevOps实施的决定因素,包括其发展的主要能力和领域。然后,对DevOps专家进行了两组访谈,并将他们的经验用于构建DevOps成熟度模型。DevOps成熟度模型是在科学和专业观点的基础上开发的。成熟度模型一旦开发出来,就在一个真实的组织中进行了演示。

The study aims to determine the critical factors needed for the private higher education sector in Malaysia to perform well under current turbulent business landscape with intensified competitiveness. The findings revealed that strategic agility is crucial for private higher education institutions (HEIs) as it was found to significantly influence organisational performance. In order to acquire strategic agility, these institutions should develop the three critical factors of technology, organisational capabilities, and people. In the case of technology, private HEIs need to be cautious, as new technology adoption could be affected by different organisational types of private HEIs. This study is original due to the potential adaptive agile manufacturing concepts and the resource combination of critical factors that are rarely examined under the private higher education context in Malaysia. Furthermore, knowing the importance of strategic agility enables practitioners to optimise the right resource combination to achieve organisational performance and sustain their business in the future.
该研究旨在确定马来西亚私立高等教育部门在当前竞争加剧的动荡商业环境下表现良好所需的关键因素。研究结果表明,战略灵活性对私立高等教育机构至关重要,因为它会显著影响组织绩效。为了获得战略灵活性,这些机构应该发展技术、组织能力和人员这三个关键因素。就技术而言,私立高等学校需要谨慎,因为新技术的采用可能会受到不同组织类型的私立高等学校的影响。这项研究是原创的,因为潜在的适应性敏捷制造概念和关键因素的资源组合很少在马来西亚私立高等教育背景下进行研究。此外,了解战略敏捷性的重要性使从业者能够优化正确的资源组合,以实现组织绩效并在未来维持其业务。

In ports, businesses processes can be improved through the use of more efficient technologies. In this regard, Business process management systems (BPMS) may be considered the best tool for this purpose since it helps users to coordinate and automate critical processes such as cargo manifests, customs declaration the management of scales, or dangerous goods, traditionally supported by EDI technologies. The aim of this work is to demonstrate, through a systematic analysis of the literature, the state of the art in BPMS research in the port industry. For this, a systematic review of the literature of the last ten years was carried out. The works generated by the search were subsequently analysed and filtered. After the investigation, it is discovered that the relationship between BPMS and the port sector is practically non-existent which represents an important gap to be covered and a future line of research.
在港口,可以通过使用更高效的技术来改进业务流程。在这方面,业务流程管理系统(BPMS)可能被认为是实现这一目的的最佳工具,因为它可以帮助用户协调和自动化关键流程,如货物清单、报关、天平管理或危险货物,传统上由EDI技术支持。本工作的目的是通过对文献的系统分析,展示港口行业BPMS研究的最新进展。为此,对过去十年的文献进行了系统的回顾。随后对搜索产生的作品进行了分析和过滤。经过调查,我们发现BPMS和港口部门之间的关系实际上并不存在,这是一个需要弥补的重要缺口,也是未来的研究方向。

Deep changes have been taking place in business, brought about by increasing technological advancement and a constant digital transformation. Risk event management has become strategic in project management, where uncertainties are inevitable. In this sense, the use of concepts of ubiquitous computing, such as contexts, context histories, and mobile computing can assist in proactive project management. This paper proposes a computational model to the reduction of the probability of project failure through the prediction of risks. The aim of the study is showing a model to assist teams to identify and monitor risks at different points in the life cycle of projects. This research was conducting a case study containing five projects in execution to evaluate the risk recommendations. For history, a database with 153 projects was used for a financial company. The recommendations were evaluated by a project team composed of 9 professionals, obtaining a result of 72% acceptance.

This study investigates the relationship between employee readiness to adopt technology in halal meat retailing and manufacturing industries and halal supplier service quality on halal logistics performance. In this paper, quantitative research was carried out by collecting random sample data from 276 respondents working in Indonesian halal meat industries and suppliers. Inter-correlation analysis using SmartPLS is used to determine the extent to which employees' readiness to adopt technology in halal meat retailing and manufacturing industries, as well as the quality of halal service suppliers, affects the performance of halal logistics. The results of this study indicate that the performance of halal logistics is significantly influenced by the readiness of the use of technology in the retail halal meat industry and the quality of halal service suppliers. Meanwhile, the moderate influence occurs in the relationship between the technology readiness in the halal meat manufacturing sector and the performance of halal logistics.

This paper study a new approximation model to solving stochastic data envelopment analysis (SDEA) problem. The proposed approach is based on problems that might occur in everyday life. This paper discusses the approach in determining the efficiency and super efficiency ratings of a decision making unit (DMU) in the DEA model with stochastic data. In determining efficiency, SDEA is first transformed into an equivalent deterministic DEA by changing its chance constraints in such a way that the SDEA problem can be solved easily. The author proposes an approach technique called a sample median approximation (SMA) to change the chance constraints so that it will be easy to get the optimal solution in determining the efficiency of DMUs. In the process, the data to be processed first is determined by the median average which will later be considered to represent the actual sample average. As a numerical example, the author resolves the vendor selection problem as presented by Wu and Olson (2006) in their paper. By taking the same parameter value (α = 0.2 and beta = 0.9), the efficiency score and super efficiency of the problem are obtained.
本文研究了一种求解随机数据包络分析(SDEA)问题的新的近似模型。所提出的方法是基于日常生活中可能出现的问题。本文讨论了在具有随机数据的DEA模型中确定决策单元的效率和超效率等级的方法。在确定效率时,首先通过改变其机会约束,将SDEA转化为等效的确定性DEA,从而使SDEA问题易于求解。作者提出了一种称为样本中值近似(SMA)的方法来改变机会约束,以便在确定DMU的效率时容易获得最优解。在该过程中,首先要处理的数据由中值平均值确定,该中值平均值稍后将被认为代表实际样本平均值。作为一个数值例子,作者解决了Wu和Olson(2006)在论文中提出的供应商选择问题。通过取相同的参数值(α=0.2和β=0.9),可以获得问题的效率得分和超效率。

Industrial process digitalisation is pervading numerous areas of production system, including sustainability. The study presents a method to affirm how the social sustainability of a company also passes through the protection of the welfare of the worker and describes a case study focused on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The method considers different aspects including the characteristics of the worker/s, the working context, and the content of the work activity. According to the objectives of social sustainability in the factory environment multifactorial variables related to the workers wellbeing have been defined. IoT system and ad-hoc questionnaires can be used to collect such variables. Following the proposed method, the results of the case study offer many in-depth insights, from the objective analysis of personal characteristics to the organisation of work, and from the application of international standards to the evaluation of psychological parameters.

Effort estimation is very important for any software development organisation. A lot of work is present for effort estimation in traditional software development but, effort estimation in agile software development (ASD) poses a great research challenge as not much of work is done in this regard. This work proposes a fuzzy approach for effort estimation in ASD environment by identifying first the cost drivers affecting the effort of agile projects and then calculating the effort using fuzzified story point approach. These cost drivers are collected through meetings and by taking a web survey from the companies in Delhi-NCR which practise ASD. Statistical tests are also performed in order to show the dependency of effort on these cost drivers. Here, fuzzy interval type-2 is used which is compared with fuzzy type-1. It is found that, the effort calculated using fuzzy interval type-2 is better than fuzzy type-1.
工作量估算对于任何软件开发组织都是非常重要的。在传统的软件开发中,工作量估算已经做了大量的工作,而敏捷软件开发中的工作量估算却面临着巨大的研究挑战,因为在这方面的工作做得并不多。这项工作提出了一种模糊的方法来估算ASD环境中的工作量,首先确定影响敏捷项目工作量的成本驱动因素,然后使用模糊的故事点方法计算工作量。这些成本驱动因素是通过会议和对德里ncr实施ASD的公司进行网络调查收集的。还进行了统计测试,以显示工作量对这些成本驱动因素的依赖性。这里使用模糊区间类型2与模糊区间类型1进行比较。结果表明,模糊区间2的计算结果优于模糊区间1。
