Corporate sustainability is about incorporating sustainability practices into business strategy, which is paramount for a company's development. It emphasises the search for a balance of the economic, social and environmental perspectives. The strategic adoption of sustainability practices changes management and organisational characteristics. Nonetheless, the question that remains is whether the opposite can happen. The study aims to match some of the characteristics of a sample of companies with sustainability strategy. A multinomial logistic regression analysis was used for the collected data. Data from five companies' characteristics were used as independent variables and related to 15 aspects of corporate strategy and sustainability practices as dependent variables. The results show that sustainability is definitively in the strategic agenda; it has an important influence in the competitive strategy of the studied companies.
企业可持续发展是指将可持续发展实践纳入企业战略,这对公司的发展至关重要。它强调寻求经济、社会和环境方面的平衡。可持续发展实践的战略性采用改变了管理和组织特征。然而,仍然存在的问题是,是否会出现相反的情况。该研究旨在将具有可持续发展战略的公司样本的某些特征进行匹配。对收集的数据进行多项逻辑回归分析。来自五家公司特征的数据被用作自变量,并与公司战略和可持续发展实践的15个方面相关,作为因变量。结果表明,可持续发展在战略议程上是明确的;它对所研究公司的竞争战略有着重要的影响。

The Australian mainland has 35,876 km of coastline, and an additional 23,859 km of island coastline. The persistence of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing has been identified as a major factor contributing to the overexploitation of marine resources worldwide. Unfortunately, this vast area requires a great deal of resources and costs hundreds of million dollars to protect. Due to decisions at different times, the patrol boat bases are located at the east side of Australia while most illegal activities are at the North West, which is located a vast distance from where the asset is. Instead of piecemeal development in the past, the current situation has called for a model-based design methodology for the support system design. This paper reviews methodologies commonly used in enterprise systems design and outlines a system model that captures elements of the support system and improves the processes of developing a viable solution to the problem.
澳大利亚大陆有35876公里的海岸线,另有23859公里的岛屿海岸线。非法、未报告和无管制的捕捞活动持续存在,已被确定为造成全世界海洋资源过度开发的一个主要因素。不幸的是,这片广阔的地区需要大量资源,保护成本高达数亿美元。由于不同时期的决定,巡逻艇基地位于澳大利亚东部,而大多数非法活动位于西北部,该地区距离资产所在地很远。目前的情况要求采用基于模型的设计方法来设计支持系统,而不是过去的零散开发。本文回顾了企业系统设计中常用的方法,并概述了一个系统模型,该模型捕获了支持系统的元素,并改进了开发可行解决方案的过程。

Manufacturing companies nowadays are more than ever compelled to adapt to the challenges of constantly changing conditions in the product creation process. The exchange of digital data and data processing are pre-requisites for improvements of agility from initial idea to disassembly and recycling. The 3D PDF format offers not only the ability to visualise 3D data without installing or licensing a CAD system, but also allows the data to be dynamically adjusted, commented and animated in a template container. In this paper, a concept for the use of 3D PDF is presented regarding a defined workflow for disassembly and recycling within the product creation process. After having identified a distinctive field of studies with the help of the model, it is to work out a new use case. Later in the paper, a workflow is developed and finally a prototypical example of the 3D PDF document is implemented.
如今的制造公司比以往任何时候都更需要适应产品创造过程中不断变化的条件带来的挑战。数字数据的交换和数据处理是提高灵活性的先决条件,从最初的想法到拆卸和回收。3D PDF格式不仅提供了在不安装或许可CAD系统的情况下可视化3D数据的能力,还允许在模板容器中动态调整、注释和动画化数据。在本文中,提出了一个使用3D PDF的概念,该概念涉及在产品创建过程中定义的拆卸和回收工作流程。在模型的帮助下确定了一个独特的研究领域后,它将制定一个新的用例。随后,本文开发了一个工作流,并最终实现了一个典型的三维PDF文档示例。

A human factors assessment model for sustainable manufacturing 可持续制造的人为因素评价模型
Q1 Multidisciplinary Pub Date : 2017-12-12 DOI: 10.1504/IJASM.2017.088511
M. Peruzzini, M. Pellicciari
Although factories are becoming smarter and more and more automated, thanks to ICT penetration, process performances still highly depend on 'humans in the loop' who have to carry out their tasks by perceiving and understanding increasingly complex multidimensional data sets. Forecasting the human behaviours and assessing how human factors affect the process performance are very difficult but fundamental for strategic decision-making and sustainable manufacturing. In this context, the research highlights the need of predictive methods to design human-centred smart manufacturing systems from the early design stages as an important part of the overall assessment of process sustainability. The paper defines a model to early assess human factors to be integrated with other existing models (i.e., cost estimation and lifecycle assessment) to evaluate manufacturing process sustainability. The proposed integrated method can be fruitfully used to support the design of sustainable manufacturing systems by taking into account also the impact on workers. An industrial case study focusing on packaging machines design is presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method and its adoption to propose re-design action promoting sustainability.
尽管由于信息通信技术的普及,工厂正变得越来越智能和自动化,但过程性能仍然高度依赖于“循环中的人”,他们必须通过感知和理解日益复杂的多维数据集来执行任务。预测人的行为和评估人的因素如何影响过程性能是非常困难的,但这是战略决策和可持续制造的基础。在此背景下,该研究强调了从早期设计阶段就需要预测方法来设计以人为中心的智能制造系统,作为过程可持续性总体评估的重要组成部分。本文定义了一个早期评估人为因素的模型,该模型与其他现有模型(即成本评估和生命周期评估)相结合,以评估制造过程的可持续性。通过考虑对工人的影响,所提出的综合方法可以有效地用于支持可持续制造系统的设计。以包装机械设计为重点的工业案例研究,展示了所提出方法的有效性,并采用该方法提出了促进可持续性的重新设计行动。

Automatic extraction of vertices coordinates for CNC code generation for dental wire bending 牙线弯曲数控代码生成中顶点坐标的自动提取
Q1 Multidisciplinary Pub Date : 2017-12-12 DOI: 10.1504/IJASM.2017.10009461
R. Hamid, Teruaki Ito
This paper reports a new methodology for an automatic extraction of vertices coordinates from a dental wire CAD model in an initial graphics exchange specification (IGES) file format for CNC bending code generation. It has two main components, the first one deals with IGES feature extraction and the second one deals with autonomous CNC code generation based on the Cartesian coordinates using various mathematical formulae. The procedure is carried out in MATLAB environment through some developed functions to support wire design technique in CAD by means of 3D line segmentation. In this approach, the digital design of the wire is constructed from multiple 3D line segments in reference to the 3D teeth scan image (STL file). The developed methodology has three steps consisting of an IGES model pre-processing, automated coordinate extraction and CNC bending code generation. The developed methodology is limited to the CAD design through multiple line segments and has been verified with a case study.
本文报告了一种新的方法,用于从牙线CAD模型中以初始图形交换规范(IGES)文件格式自动提取顶点坐标,用于数控弯曲代码生成。它有两个主要组件,第一个涉及IGES特征提取,第二个涉及使用各种数学公式基于笛卡尔坐标的自主数控代码生成。该程序是在MATLAB环境中通过一些开发的函数来执行的,以支持CAD中的三维线分割的布线设计技术。在这种方法中,参考3D牙齿扫描图像(STL文件),从多个3D线段构建金属丝的数字设计。所开发的方法包括三个步骤,包括IGES模型预处理、自动坐标提取和数控折弯代码生成。所开发的方法仅限于通过多个线段进行的CAD设计,并已通过案例研究进行了验证。

Traditional centralised manufacturing systems will be replaced in future more and more through decentralised and geographically dispersed manufacturing strategies. So-called distributed manufacturing systems represent an ideal approach to meet challenges regarding individualisation of products, customer proximity or more sustainable production. Networks of smart and agile micro-production units lead to a rationalisation of the supply chain and therefore to an increase of sustainability. In this paper, the actual state of the art in distributed manufacturing is presented. Afterwards, sustainability oriented reasons for a trend towards distributed manufacturing networks are explained. Then, evolutionary stages in the development of factories are represented describing their characteristics at every stage. Finally, a framework of possible network models for distributed manufacturing networks of smart and agile mini-factories is provided and enforced by examples from industrial practice. The paper closes with a discussion of the proposed framework and an outlook on future needs in research.

Technology innovation activities in developing countries can spur new opportunities for faster development of an industry, economy and better living standards. On the other hand, they can also mean a loss of financial resources designed for primary needs of the society, an excessive burden on the environment or new health risks for the population. This analysis complements our long-term research so as to promote positive, safe, efficient and environment-friendly technology innovation in the EU. The main goal of this research is to analyse technology innovation in the developing EU countries, mainly by the WIPO patent analysis (1980-2014), compared with selected indicators and related determinants. In terms of the main research methodology, our calculated and summarised patenting data were completed by the bibliometric analysis of technology innovation activities of these countries to identify relevant trends. For better benchmarking, as the key indicators of a national technological performance were chosen: granted technology patents, compared with other indicators such as a number of utility models, industrial designs, and trademarks. According to our study, the most successful technology-developing countries of the EU are particularly Poland, Hungary, Romania as well as Greece and Bulgaria. Why is this so? We will also include our study mainly focused on the developing EU countries.
发展中国家的技术创新活动可以为加快工业、经济发展和提高生活水平带来新的机遇。另一方面,它们也可能意味着为社会的基本需求而设计的财政资源的损失、环境的过度负担或人口的新健康风险。这一分析补充了我们的长期研究,以促进欧盟积极、安全、高效和环保的技术创新。本研究的主要目标是分析欧盟发展中国家的技术创新,主要通过WIPO专利分析(1980-2014),与选定的指标和相关决定因素进行比较。在主要研究方法方面,我们通过对这些国家的技术创新活动进行文献计量分析来完成对专利申请数据的计算和总结,以确定相关趋势。为了更好地进行基准测试,选择了国家技术绩效的关键指标:授予技术专利,与一些实用新型、工业设计和商标等其他指标进行比较。根据我们的研究,欧盟最成功的技术发展中国家尤其是波兰、匈牙利、罗马尼亚以及希腊和保加利亚。为什么会这样?我们还将包括主要针对欧盟发展中国家的研究。

Contextualising aircraft maintenance documentation 将飞机维修文档置于上下文中
Q1 Multidisciplinary Pub Date : 2017-08-29 DOI: 10.1504/IJASM.2017.086159
H. Koornneef, W. Verhagen, R. Curran
The use of documentation for task support in aircraft line maintenance is still mostly paper-based, which is slow, burdensome and prone to error. This paper provides an overview of the issues associated with the use of paper-based documentation in aircraft line maintenance and describes the development of a novel concept for contextualised documentation to address these issues. Using ontology-based data access, the system is able to retrieve relevant documents approximately twice as fast as existing relational database systems and provides support for a wide variety of file types. Limitations of the developed system are software vendor dependency, compatibility issues between integrated software solutions and lack of support for automatic mappings. Nevertheless, the developed system provides a proof of concept for a mobile tool to overcome the weaknesses of maintenance documentation in line maintenance, working towards increased operational efficiency, reduction of human factor induced maintenance errors and reduced paper consumption.
飞机线路维护中用于任务支持的文档的使用仍然主要是基于纸张的,这是缓慢的、繁重的并且容易出错。本文概述了在飞机线路维护中使用纸质文档的相关问题,并描述了为解决这些问题而开发的上下文文档的新概念。使用基于本体的数据访问,该系统能够以大约两倍于现有关系数据库系统的速度检索相关文档,并为各种文件类型提供支持。所开发系统的局限性包括软件供应商依赖性、集成软件解决方案之间的兼容性问题以及缺乏对自动映射的支持。尽管如此,所开发的系统为移动工具提供了概念验证,以克服线路维护中维护文档的弱点,努力提高操作效率,减少人为因素导致的维护错误,并减少纸张消耗。

Amorphous transdisciplinary service systems 无定形的跨学科服务体系
Q1 Multidisciplinary Pub Date : 2017-08-29 DOI: 10.1504/IJASM.2017.10007176
M. Sobolewski
Amorphous transdisciplinary system is the application of backend object-oriented service providers - local/remote objects - having independent limited computational functionalities - provider services - that dynamically actualise frontend service-oriented microservices and macroservices. A microservice binds to a single provider and executes a single provider service. A macroservice by contrast is a compound service request comprising of microservices and other macroservices with service fidelities and metafidelities. Macroservices express dynamic collaborations of large number of provider services (applications, tools, and utilities) with emergent multifidelity management. This type of agile service aggregation is often referred to as a system of systems. A metafidelity - fidelity of fidelities - is used by a fidelity management system to morph a macroservice for evolving collaboration of provider services at runtime. The presented amorphous transdisciplinary approach provides service-oriented modelling or programming, or both (mogramming) with a corresponding service-oriented operating system. The operating system runs amorphous frontend macroservices and dynamically manages its service processor - corresponding collaborations of backend service providers.
无定形跨学科系统是后端面向对象服务提供商(本地/远程对象)的应用,具有独立的有限计算功能(提供商服务),动态实现前端面向服务的微服务和宏服务。微服务绑定到单个提供者并执行单个提供者服务。相比之下,宏服务是一种复合服务请求,包括微服务和其他具有服务可信度和元可信度的宏服务。宏服务表示大量提供者服务(应用程序、工具和实用程序)与紧急多思想管理的动态协作。这种类型的敏捷服务聚合通常被称为系统体系。保真度管理系统使用元保真度(保真度)来变形宏服务,以在运行时发展提供商服务的协作。所提出的无定形跨学科方法提供了面向服务的建模或编程,或两者兼有(mograming),并提供了相应的面向服务的操作系统。操作系统运行无定形的前端宏服务,并动态管理其服务处理器——后端服务提供商的相应协作。
