Performance benchmarking and performance measurement are the fundamental principles of performance enhancement in the business sector. For businesses to enhance their performance in the modern competitive world, it is fundamental to know how to measure the performance level in business that also incorporates telling how they will performance after a change has been made. In case a business improvement has been made, the performance processes have to be evaluated. Performance measurements are also fundamental in the process of doing comparisons of performance levels between corporations. The best practices within the industry are evaluated by the businesses with desirable levels of the kind of performance measures being conducted. In that regard, it is fundamental if similar businesses applied the same collection of performance metrics. In this paper, the NETIAS performance measurement framework will be applied to accomplish the mission of evaluating performances in business by producing generic collection of performance metrics, which businesses can utilize to compare and measure their organizational activities.

ABSTRACTWe use a state-of-the-art non-equilibrium quantum transport simulation code, NEMO-1D, to address the device physics and performance benchmarking of cross-plane superlattice Peltier coolers. Our findings show quantitatively how barriers in cross-plane superlattices degrade the electrical performance, i.e. power factor. The performance of an In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As cross-plane SL Peltier cooler is lower than that of either a bulk In0.53Ga0.47As or bulk In0.52Al0.48As device, mainly due to quantum mechanical effects. We find that a cross-plane SL device has a Seebeck coefficient vs. conductance tradeoff that is no better than that of a bulk device. The effects of tunneling and phase coherence between multi barriers are examined. It is shown that tunneling, SL contacts, and coherency only produce oscillatory behavior of Seebeck coefficient vs. conductance without a significant gain in PF. The overall TE device performance is, therefore, a compromise between the enhanced Seebeck coefficient and degraded conductance.

Logistics Management is an effective system for the companies to deliver the products to the customers at the exact place where they demands at right time with right cost. Logistics management comprises the planning, implementation and control of the flow of raw materials and finished goods from the suppliers to the customers. This study is conducted to understand the conception of logistics and its significance. This study is to show the main functions of the logistics, aim, tactics and its various components. Nowadays most of the major companies are enforced to lessen their business expenditures because of the globalization and the companies are finding ways to reduce the costs without affecting the productivity. This made them to practice a new management tactics like Supply chain management and e-logistics. E-logistics provides the idea of logistics business into the modern world through the internet and completely changes the concept of simple logistics into e-logistics. E-logistics is the most modern technology in the field of logistics which brings the whole business world into a small online eworld. This novel set of communication with better computing and collective skills changes the new logistics into a customer oriented technology by data sharing, providing information and exact statistics with the supply chain customers. E-logistics helps in managing the new challenges in the supply chain field. The main components of the e-logistics are multi-channel operations, cross-border tasks, warehouse plan and inventory, planning, estimating and performance management. This study targets to understand the main benefits and the new tasks between logistics and e-logistics.

Concentrated solar energy offers a source for renewable high-temperature process heat that can be used to efficiently drive endothermic chemical processes, converting the entire spectrum of solar radiation into chemical energy. In particular, solar-driven thermochemical processes for the production of fuels include reforming of methane and other hydrocarbons, gasification of biomass, coal, and other carbonaceous feedstock, and metal oxide redox cycles for splitting H2O and CO2. A notable issue in the development of these processes and their associated solar reactors is the lack of consistent reporting methods for experimental demonstrations and modelling studies, which complicates the benchmarking of the corresponding technologies. In this work we formulate dimensionless performance indicators based on mass and energy balances of such reacting systems, namely: energy efficiency, conversion extent, selectivity, and yield. Examples are outlined for the generic processes mention above. We then provide guidelines for reporting on such processes and reactors and suggest performance benchmarking on four key criteria: energy efficiency, conversion extent, product selectivity, and performance stability.

Habitat Design

The notion of interdisciplinarity is inherent in the principles of human factors and ergonomics. HFE can be described as a multi-disciplinary, user-centric ‘bundling science,’ in that it applies theory, principles, and data from many relevant disciplines to the design of work systems, taking into account the complex interactions between the human and other humans, the external environment, tools and equipment, and technology to enhance human performance and well-being (Wilson, 2000). The 2017 HFES Annual Conference panel addressed how to increase management’s perceived value of HFE by changing the focus of HFE from risk to enhanced employee wellbeing, performance and productivity. This panel furthers this discussion by addressing how HFE can increase its perceived value by partnering with other disciplines to solve a critical organizational problem. We use the example of the Mars spacecraft habitat design to illustrate how HFE and other disciplines can intersect to create a living, working and recreational space that supports astronaut health, wellbeing and performance. First, Mosier describes HFE’s increasing role in interdisciplinarity. Mosier also discusses habitat design from the perspective of team and psycho-social factors. Kennedy describes how architectural and engineering factors affect astronauts’ physiological and psychological well-being. Miller discusses the role automation and technology will play in habitat functioning to keep astronauts safe and healthy. Banks adds concepts of psychological need satisfaction through habitat design to maintain astronaut health and well-being. Imada closes the panel with the role of HFE in the design of suitable human interfaces and consideration of how all elements function together as an effective system. The audience will be invited to contribute their own ideas for how these different disciplines can work together with HFE to create a healthy and productive habitat.
