Industrial Maintenance

Industry 4.0 marks the beginning of the so-called fourth industrial revolution. The new emerging information technologies, such as internet of things, cloud computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, among others, have challenged the management and organization of industrial companies. They have now shorter market response times, higher quality requirements, and customization needs, which challenges many industrial areas from production to maintenance, from design to asset management. The maintenance and asset management condition and the reliability of production lines are closely linked and constitute key areas of good industrial operation. This work seeks to present a roadmap proposal for the management of industrial assets from maintenance management. In addition, it seeks to identify the key elements for a roadmap design and proposes a set of management questions to assess maintenance maturity.

The natural development of history of humanity confronts the societies with a new industrial wave making use of the opportunities of the information and communication technologies. While the concept of labor depending on muscle force that produced the emergence of modern societies withdraws from production process, the gap is filled by intelligent machinery which automatically decides by itself by employing machinery automation and internet technologies. In the new social order, people determine their own standing according to their intellectual build-up instead of muscle power. Industry 4.0 brings a lot of advantages together with the reduction of source consumption, energy productivity, production efficiency, stabilization of rising workforce expenditures, and prevention of the impact of aging societies on production. Although problems come up on the issues of setting the intelligence of machinery and accomplishing workforce market that fits the industrial revolution, technological developments and the subsidies draw the actualization date of the process forward.

Fishers in the small-scale, commercial linefishery in the southern Cape, South Africa, are exposed to variability and change in the marine social-ecological system of which they are a part. Faced with multi-scalar changes within this complex system, fishers employ a wide range of strategies in reaction to change. As part of a broader study of stressors that bring about change in these systems, this contribution examines the fishers’ responses to these changes and is based on a participant-led, semi-structured interview process of skippers/boat owners, crew, processors and spouses/partners, in six communities in the southern Cape region, and has been supplemented with appropriate secondary data. The results are discussed using a resilience framework. The data were initially considered thematically by stressor, but results identified that a place-based analysis was equally important. Three major groupings were identified: (1) fishers who adapt and show clear business-orientation, (2) fishers who cope, and (3) fishers who react and are thus caught in a poverty trap. In addition to place-specific history, local feedback loops and indirect effects need to be better accounted for to understand these responses to change at various scales. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the basis of scenario planning in the region.

Islamic work ethics which is an ethical moral conduct of individual will not only create emotional bond between workers and organization but towards society and most significantly to Allah. Besides, it will also contribute to more commitment leading to higher performance and loyalty to the institution. In Nigerian setting, Islamic work ethics is assumed to be influenced by the Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) who become the apparatus through which employee practice of IWEs is assessed. Presently, there are 16 IFIs who perform their role to enhance their performance through ethical conduct of their employees. Even though each of these IFIs perform their role to ensure the best ethical conduct was practice, there are still issues and challenges faced that lead to the non-adoption of IWEs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to disclose the issues and challenges faced that lead to role the non-adoption of IWEs by IFIs in Nigeria. A qualitative method is employed in this study using secondary data as well as semi-structured interview on the selected IFIs in the Northern part of Nigeria as a case study. The findings of the study revealed that there are issues and challenges that contribute to the non-adoption of IWEs such as lack of Islamic finance background of most of the practitioners, absence of orientation program and weak supervisory framework. The findings of this study are hoped to contribute to the existing literature on IWEs and its proper practice for enhanced performance of IFIs. Finally, the study’s conclusion as well as the direction for future research are provided and discussed.
