Abstract Competitive products are the key to the success of every company. To resist the pressure of high competition companies must also optimize their processes to an even greater extent. Apart from the direct production departments such as manufacturing and assembly, where the optimization of production processes have been standard practice for decades, the indirect areas such as product development and planning of production systems are now moving increasingly to center-stage. Alongside the requirement for innovation, these areas are expected to keep to schedule and cost restrictions. But the high degree of complexity of the process steps involved and the difficulty of accurately defining them prevent effective process management in these areas. Experience from industry shows that companies desire a lot of support in these areas. The following paper describes an innovative methodology for the flexible planning, monitoring and controlling of highly complex dynamic development processes. This methodology, has already proved successful in pilot projects in different industries such as automobile or electrical tool industry.

The allocation of nutrients within the abaca plant is of interest, as it determines the amounts which may be removed from the farm, returned to the soil in dead plant part, and available for re-translocation to subsequent generations of suckers. Hence, the study was conducted to investigate the level of nutrition among abaca plants grown under diversified multi-strata agroecosystems and to understand the pattern of abaca nutrient uptake planted under coconut and Rainforestation production systems. The allocation of nutrients within the abaca plant is of interest, as it determines the amounts which may be removed from the farm, returned to the soil in dead plant part, and available for re-translocation to subsequent generations of suckers. Hence, the study was conducted to investigate the level of nutrition among abaca plants grown under diversified multi-strata agroecosystems and to understand the pattern of abaca nutrient uptake planted under coconut and Rainforestation production systems. In the abaca–coconut agroecosystem, results show that availability of macronutrients from different blocks demonstrates a high degree of significant differences (p≤0.01) within 0-30cm soil depth. These differences can be attributed to the history of land uses, farmer’s management practice and soil the type. On the other hand, it can be concluded that the trees planted under the Rainforestation system plays a significant role in the nutrient fluxes and the improvement of soil acidity. This is due to the fact that trees function as “nutrient-pumps”. Therefore, integrating abaca under the Rainforestation system is a best option. Finally, it is not enough and safe to conclude that the low nutrient concentration in abaca leaves is due to low nutrient in the soil concentration solution since the standard values for abaca is still unknown. Thus, using the results for diagnosing nutrient deficiencies is insufficient.

Lifecycle Management

The shift to satisfied customer markets forces manufacturers to offer customised products. Moreover, product lifecycles are shortened, which requires a faster development of products and corresponding production systems. Both challenges amplify complexity in production. This complexity is usually confronted with flexibility. A new approach offering decentralised structures, and thereby flexibility, comes from cybertronic systems (CTS), which are further developed mechatronic systems with the capability to communicate through open networks with other such mechatronic systems. Up to now no integrated development process to engineer cybertronic products (CTP) and production systems (CTPS) has been developed, although such a process is essential to use their beneficial properties for today’s market conditions. Therefore, research is conducted in the research project mecPro². First, the properties of cybertronic systems are investigated and dissociated from those of mechatronic systems. Based on these properties, the connections of CTP and CTPS are analysed and a systematics for description for both is identified. With this the model-based development processes of CTP and CTPS can be further defined as well as their intersections and afterwards implemented in a data model. Finally, the development process is summarised in a product lifecycle management software to support the development process.

We have developed an innovative methodology to link maternal siblings within 2000-2005 England and Wales Birth Registration data, to form a Pregnancy Spine, a unification of all births to each unique mother. Key challenges were Blocking & Cluster resolution. To optimise geographic blocking, Internal Migration data was incorporated to map likely geographic movement of mothers between births. Following probabilistic linkage, sibling clusters were modelled as a graph and their structure optimised using community detection methods. Childhood statistics data relating to child DOB were incorporated to evaluate accuracy and remove false links. Our development has resulted in a new blocking and cluster resolution method. We developed new ways to assess sibling group accuracy, beyond traditional classifier metrics, and infer error rates.We applied our method to Registration Data used in earlier studies for QA of our methods. Using this, and other maternal sibling composition statistics, we present results showing that a high degree of accuracy was obtained for standard and new evaluation metrics. These methods will improve other linkage projects linking unknown clusters sizes/multiple datasets, or longer time period longitudinal linkage. To this Spine, researchers can append and link other data sources to answer questions about maternal and child health outcomes.

Considered the first principle of the formation of the phenomenon of development of society at the level of territorial communities. The results of the study of the expansion of the possibilities of development of territorial communities as the initial level of society existence in the conditions of modernization of local self-government through the introduction of a process approach are given. The proofs of the priority role of the processes of development of territories and the necessity of creating control systems for the development process as a fractal system of local self-government are given. It is noted that the management of development processes at the local level has not yet been brought to theoretical and methodological clarity; not provided theoretical characteristics, parameters and indicators of development processes; the technology of construction and flow is not simulated; There are no defined approaches to the evaluation of the results of processes in accordance with the vectors of community development, which testifies to the lack of effective management of the phenomenon of development, starting with the initial level of its occurrence. To solve the problem of intensification and increase of the development of territorial communities, a conceptual vision of process management, creation of a system of process management, which is considered as a fractal component of the system of local self-government is developed. It is represented by a conceptual apparatus for controlling processes proposed by the definition of the concepts of «process», «development process», the path of process management, the structure of the mechanism for managing the development process in the control circuit. Criteria and indicators of controllability of development of processes are determined by adhering to the allowable limits of their fluctuations. The given proposals deepen the theoretical and methodological basis of process management. The proposed algorithm for designing development processes at the first stage of their life cycle allows you to streamline the management of development processes, reduce the path and time for their implementation. Using the results of the research carried out will allow to focus efforts and formulate tasks for local self-government bodies for the implementation of development functions; establish the level of economic, social and resource efficiency of processes; deepen the social consolidation of power, residents and business entities; to carry out comprehensive support of the components in the chain of their interaction and implementation of results; to expand the space of intuitive, creative innovative thinking when making managerial decisions.

Trichoderma virens (Gliocladium virens) (Miller et al.) von Arx is a soilborne fungus with a high degree of rhizosphere competence that produces a potent herbicidal compound, viridiol, and therefore has potential for development as a bioherbicide. We investigated the possibility of using composted chicken manure (CCM) as a medium for the production and deployment of T. virens. We chose CCM since the safe disposal of chicken manure presents significant logistic problems, and composted manures, as well as serving as an organic source of nitrogen, have been shown to support the activity of other biological control agents. Composted chicken manure supported the growth of T. virens and the rapid production of high concentrations of viridiol, but only when it was supplemented with large quantities of nutrients, including sucrose (16% w/w). Viridiol was not stable when stored in CCM, with a rapid decline in viridiol concentrations observed in T. virens-inoculated CCM cultures. Clearly, a cheaper alternative to sucrose is required as a carbon source for T. virens in CCM or similar media, and effective storage methods would need to be found for a T. virens-based bioherbicide product. Importantly, CCM did not need to be sterilized to support the growth of T. virens and its concomitant production of viridiol, suggesting that on-farm production systems may be feasible. Trichoderma virens-colonized CCM reduced the emergence and seedling growth of redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) in a greenhouse experiment and dramatically reduced the emergence of a mixed community of broadleaf weeds in the field.
