The article describes the main directions of the modern theory of business processes. There are provided a brief overview of the main models and methods for each of these areas.
Socio-economic characteristics of the systems crisis which was brought about to Russia during the reforms period and was caused by implementing “shock therapy” are examined. Its main negative and positive consequences for the country are noted and the most important reasons for it are systematized. They include both conducting reforms on the basis of “Washington Consensus” provisions and ignoring...
The possibilities of gaming simulation to support the adoption of a broad range of planned and operational decisions in the management of enterprises and corporations are considered. The capabilities developed to date tools game modeling and original approach based on a synthesis of basic concepts of game theory and operations research with the ideas analytical accounting, the strict definition of...
Solar energy kiosks in developing countries are commonly designed with battery storage as daytime energy production does not coincide with an evening peak consumption. Curtailment of excess solar energy production can occur when current load and battery storage charging is not high enough during peak solar generation hours. Valuation of the options for coping with this phenomena, after a system is...
FDSOI and FINFet use the same electrostatic principles for their transistor architectures: the conduction properties of a thin layer of undoped semiconductor material are influenced by an isolated gate. For the same layer thickness, FINFET has more drive current and higher packing densities and FDSOI, due to a buried back-gate, shows more design flexibility, can handle extremely low supply voltages...
Correct and efficient selection of innovative solutions is the most important part of the whole process of implementation of innovations in small businesses. In this regard, the study of the mechanism for the selection of innovative solutions based on an assessment of efficiency reserves is a vital task. In this article, using analytical methods, systematic approach, logical methods of research are...
This paper focuses on examining how to develop and combine cost management, sustainability and emission reporting systems by utilizing Big Data. We provide evidence that shows how Big Data brings company-wide business benefits if data queries and interfaces are built to be interactive, intuitive and user friendly. Proper algorithm design and programming is a key factor in order to make the most of...
An idealized industrial group, consisting of two enterprises with vertical cooperation, is considered in this paper. We assume that the both enterprises, having necessary production capacities, act on the product markets once as the partners and once as the independent actors. The main problem of this kind of cooperation is to find the optimal conditions for the production programs for the both enterprises...
This paper addresses the practical aspects of basic design for prototyping a MAS that will manage the control functions of onshore oilfield automation as services. The technologies used in IT and Automation are more and more the same and Service Oriented Architectures and Cloud Computing have been adopted in process control world. Remarkable works present or debate architectures and technologies for...
We analyze two production ways of manufacturers: costly green production and less expensive non-green production. The former emits less green house gas, while the latter does more harm to global warming. We suppose there are three possible production strategies for a manufacturer: low cost production, dual production, and green mass market production. With an assumption that “green” consumers are...
With increasing shares of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in Europe and especially in Germany, new technologies are required that may provide flexibility. A potential technology to use excess electricity is alkaline water electrolysis. One goal of the Horizon 2020 project ELYntegration is to analyze the profitability of electrolysers in these new market surroundings. For current and future scenarios...
Changes in electricity markets, driven by the increased use of renewable energy resources and the active participation of consumers in managing their energy usage, creates a demand for new smart grid technologies and services. In this paper, we describe an architecture that has been developed within the EU-funded Nobel Grid project, integrating novel smart grid solutions and services to enable energy...
With the expansion of renewable energy's contribution to the energy mix, balancing the electricity grid is becoming increasingly challenging. Alongside other solutions, Power-to-Hydrogen concepts are gaining significant interest. In this paper, the “Task 38”, initiated by the Hydrogen Implementing Agreement of the International Energy Agency, presents the first of a two-step literature review regarding...
Private label has become an important strategy for retailers and B2C platform to gain competitive advantages. This paper investigates product introduction and position of B2C platform's private label in a distribution channel composed of one manufacturer and one B2C platform. Results indicate that introducing private label can create a win-win situation for both the B2C platform firm and the national...
The seru system is a new way of assembling products which is widely used in the electronics industry. Unlike the traditional assembly line, several small assembly units are constructed of which each is responsible for assembling an entire product. In this paper, the conversion process of assembly lines to seru systems (line-seru conversion) is studied. A cooperative co-evolution (CC) approach is proposed...
Visual analytics is a newly emerging field. It is progressing at a high pace around the world. There are a lot of domains and areas where this field has shown the presence in the last decade. It has improved business and has helped technology grow in a better way. So here in this paper we would highlight the application areas of visual analytics. Although the growth is rapid but still many of the...
The study aimed to probe into the establishment of the product life cycle model of cultural creative product industrialization. It proposed related opinions for the theory based on the analysis of and discussions on documents and data. Moreover, based on the results of case study and in-depth interviews, the study integrated the product life cycle with the industrial and industrialization theory to...
The challenge of the new globalized market and the current steel market outlook characterized by plant underutilization, are the elements leading metal producers to seek for low Capex investments, aiming at improving the efficiency of the production facilities, the quality of the products, the health and safety of the workers as well as the environmental sustainability. In this scenario, DANIELI has...
Brand and product developments are the cores for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to keep their long-term competitiveness. The goals are to plan products which satisfy customer requirements and to ensure products are developed timely and to fit the market trend. This study began with research references related to resources, product benefits, and brand strategies for SMEs. The analyses include...
Every organisation needs information flows to operate. Information modelling enables the analysis, communication and optimisation of information flows. LINQ is a technique for information modelling. This paper discusses the LINQ technique for modelling organisational information flows. We illustrate the technique with a case study. Then we analyse the similarities and differences between LINQ and...
