This article describes a unique industrial symbiosis employing an algae cultivation unit (ACU) at the core of a novel eco-industrial park (EIP) integrating fossil-fuel fired power generation, carbon capture, biofuel production, aquaculture, and wastewater treatment. A new modelling framework capable of designing and evaluating materials and energy exchanges within an industrial eco-system is introduced. In this scalable model, an algorithm was developed to balance the material and energy exchanges and determine the optimal inputs and outputs based on the industrial symbiosis objectives and participating industries. Optimizing the functionality of the ACU not only achieved a substantial emission reduction, but also boosted aquaculture, biofuel, and other chemical productions. In a power-boosting scenario (PBS), by matching a 660 MW fossil fuel-fired power plant with an equivalent solar field in the presence of ACU, fish-producing aquaculture and biofuel industries, the net CO2 emissions were cut by 60% with the added benefit of producing 39 m3 biodiesel, 6.7 m3 bioethanol, 0.14 m3 methanol, and 19.55 tons of fish products annually. Significantly, this article shows the potential of this new flexible modelling framework for integrated materials and energy flow analysis. This integration is an important pathway for evaluating energy technology transitions towards future low-emission production systems, as required for a circular economy.

ABSTRACT The craft of a leather puppet in the district Bantul, Province Yogyakarta Special Region in its development experienced tides. Success retreival craft leather puppet skin strongly influenced by among other things, trend with the market demands quality goods, distinctness, value and price. But there is a vital need reckoned that human resources leather puppet characters handicraftsman skin also had an influence upon the way forward in sell their products. So far the role of the craftsman and forced them to market own goods their craft. Idealism character basic craftsman who pushes art of performing this function as artists and forced them role as an entrepreneur craft skin. It is very prevalent business does craft leather puppet skin and entrepreneurs craft leather puppet, eliciting much problem because tends perpetrated by player singular in do everything in good for production, management, marketing, etc. The development of crafts leather puppets are not limited on the orientation of the sheer capital adequacy but also the need for innovation, improvement of production systems, design, quality control, management, marketing system, that it took an understanding of entrepreneurship that is able to equip a small craftsmen as a good businessman. Keywords: character of human resources, marketing, business success. ABSTRAK Perkembangan kerajinan wayang kulit di Kabupaten Bantul, Propinsi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta cukup menyerap tenaga kerja. Keberhasilan usaha jenis ini perlu diimbangi dengan karakter sumber daya manusia dan kemampuan pegelolaan usaha yang baik agar dapat menangkap peluang pasar. Hanya saja selama ini sektor informal masih banyak kelemahannya karena para pengrajin merangkap kerja dalam segala urusan mulai dari pengerjaan produksi, manajemen, dan sekaligus pemasarannya, karena mereka belum memiliki pemahaman kewirausahaan yang baik. Untuk itulah perlu menjadi perhatian bersama agar sector ini dapat berkembang dengan baik untuk menangkap dan menjajagi pasar guna menjamin kelangsungan usahanya. Kata kunci: karakter pelaku usaha, pemasaran, keberhasilan usaha.

This summary outlines major themes introduced during a multiple-session symposium series devoted to the topic of work design in the 21st century. The 6 sessions in the series address the future of work design in relation to: (1) macroergonomic analysis of work systems design; (2) production systems design and automation of work; (3) human factors research needs in internet design; (4) design of education and training; (5) work design and community design; and (6) work in extreme environments. Session chairs participated in a 7th panel session to offer perspectives on the future of work design in relation to session topics. These perspectives are summarized here. The panel co-chair, Michael Wade, also provides a perspective on future trends in the integration of work and recreation. Collectively, the session and panel participants provide a rich body of judgment and opinion regarding the trajectory and evolution of work design in the coming decades, as well as likely reciprocal interactions between changes in work design and transformations in performance of human sociotechnical, organizational and socioeconomic systems.

A multilayer network model for the exploratory analysis of production technologies is proposed. To represent the relationship between products, parts, machines, resources, operators, and skills, standardized production and product-relevant data are transformed into a set of bi- and multipartite networks. This representation is beneficial in production flow analysis (PFA) that is used to identify improvement opportunities by grouping similar groups of products, components, and machines. It is demonstrated that the goal-oriented mapping and modularity-based clustering of multilayer networks can serve as a readily applicable and interpretable decision support tool for PFA, and the analysis of the degrees and correlations of a node can identify critically important skills and resources. The applicability of the proposed methodology is demonstrated by a well-documented benchmark problem of a wire-harness production process. The results confirm that the proposed multilayer network can support the standardized integration of production-relevant data and exploratory analysis of strongly interconnected production systems.

This paper presents the integration and implementation of automated processes, based on the sequence control specifications and requirements of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems to create a virtual test environment using a software simulation tool, PLCStudio. In order to meet the demands of the new manufacturing paradigm, PLCStudio is being designed as a next generation tool for digital production. This production solution set represents an integrated suite that provides manufacturing process design, tool and fixture design, factory and production systems design, visualization, and automation through 3D virtual simulation tools. The significant effect and benefit for the manufacturer from such a suite of tools would be a substantial reduction to the manufacturing lifecycle. This includes reduction of the assembly time and cut-down on the cost for a process development through the virtual validation and commissioning of production systems. In this paper, a process with quantifiable goals and efficiencies utilizing a robot and other devices is developed. PLCStudio is used to model the process. PLC logic control is developed to control the system and tested virtually using PLCStudio before it is used in a full scale physical test.
