Most of entrepreneurs in software industries in Indonesia have sufficient capabilities for developing their products, but lack of managerial skills in managing business. To achieve business success, the entrepreneurs need not only technical knowledge gathered from their technical education, but also need managerial business knowledge. This paper aims at presenting an integrated competency model for...
This study illustrates an estimation tool for software test that provides the estimated time and the cost of any sort of software test project. There are different well-recognized estimation tools for software development process [9], however, there remains a lack of standard tools for estimation of Software Test phase. Therefore, the authors developed a web base tool (www.4beats.net/tpet/) in order...
The paper investigates differences in data gathering and preparation of the workplace environment for virtual ergonomic analyses. The two investigated scenarios are classical digitization of the workplace by measurement of dimensions and subsequent modelling of the workplace in 3D drawing software compared to 3D scanning of the workplace by an industrial scanner. Those two scenarios are assessed in...
Production of engineering drawings have evolved from manual to Computer Aided Design (CAD), primarily for the speed and accuracy presented by CAD. Unlike modelling and simulation packages that are equipped with building blocks, CAD packages are generally supplied with no pre-drawn symbols. From best practices in industrial engineering and working for companies that make use of CAD systems, evidently...
Professional engineering service-delivering firms (PESDFs) that provide knowledge-intensive technical services to oil and gas (O&G) operators are under pressure to deliver their services/products in a more effective and efficient way, especially in the current oil crisis situation. While the objective of the firms is to deliver the highest value to their clients, waste is still embedded in the...
Computer Aided Design (CAD) packages are normally bought off-the-shelf for a wide range of engineering disciplines. However, a single system cannot possibly meet requirements of different users as these packages are normally provided with basic primitives but no blocks for quick generations. A case study carried out at a power enterprise in Zimbabwe revealed delays in attending to faults and installations...
This case study arises from the need to make more robust and effective quality assurance procedures of the products by automating the final inspection process. The case study explains how the automation of the inspection process was performed in a company from the automotive sector. Knowledge, involvement and commitment of operators and respective managers should not be neglected because their reaction...
Excellence in product development results from integrating various stakeholders' requirements into a winning offering. Customer care has become increasingly important, as digitalization enables new business models and revenue streams for companies. The integration of care requirements must be enabled in the product development (PD) process beginning in the early concepting and development phases in...
In this paper, we address the problem of allocating workforce to software projects, considering bilateral (project managers' and employees') preferences and cost of allocation. Earlier research has addressed the workforce allocation to software projects as stable matching problem with strict preferences ranking. However, in practice, there are scenarios where project managers did not strictly rank...
Product program optimization gains increasing relevance in industrial practice, due to rising number of variants in the context of product individualization. The definition of a product platform for several products of the program is a promising measure to reduce internal variety for the company. However, decisions for the right platform concept are challenging. Therefore, this publication aims to...
Switches and crossings (S&Cs) connect the rail network, guiding trains from one track to another and supporting path crossing. They are critical systems given the frequency of their functional failure and the consequences on the operation, cost and safety of railway transportation. Reliability studies are required to support the transport objective of providing dependable, sustainable and cost...
Nowadays the competition in IT offshoring is fierce along with the rapid growth of IT offshoring. Some of Indonesian IT vendors succeed in acquiring IT projects from clients abroad, but some of them are not successful in delivering the project. Some previous studies have included interaction capability as the determinant of IT outsourcing success, but the concept of interaction is considered as one...
Line, a kind of Instant Messenger, has become one of the popular communication tools for modern people. “Ignoring read messages” which means the recipients keep silent after they read the messages sent by the senders have caused poor communication between romantic lovers and further led the devastation of their romantic relationships. This study forms a unique framework representing the factors affecting...
This paper will address how to develop a strategy when developing and implementing product configuration systems (PCSs) in engineer-to-order (ETO) companies. PCSs are often gradually implemented especially where there are complex products and processes in order to break down the overall project and reduce risk. This highlights the importance of having an overall strategy to guide the long-term development...
