Collaborative Working Environment

Service-oriented technologies drive new ways to perform interoperability between manufacturing companies. The aerospace segment is a highly competitive area, supported by numerous partners and applications which need to collaborate and to be interoperable. Particularly, the subcontracted small and medium enterprises (SMEs) need to be flexible towards the changes that are imposed by the major contractors, doing so at the lowest cost. This paper proposes a framework which advocates negotiations as a pillar mechanism to support innovation during the development of services in industrial collaborative working environments.

Collaborative Working Environment

Negotiation in collaborative manufacturing environments drive new ways to perform interoperability between industrial companies. The networks of SMEs are a novel segment in a highly competitive area, supported by numerous partners and applications which need to collaborate and to be interoperable. Particularly, the subcontracted small and medium enterprises (SMEs) need to be flexible towards the changes that are imposed by the major contractors, doing so at the lowest cost. This paper proposes a framework which advocates negotiations as a pillar mechanism to support innovation during the development of services in industrial collaborative working environments, and reflects the results of the European research project H2020 C2NET.

The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of entrepreneurial   working environment on employee productivity among small and medium enterprises in Kitale town, Kenya. The specific objectives of the study were to; examine    entrepreneurial working environment, establish employee productivity   and to find out the relationship between entrepreneurial working environment and employee productivity among small and medium enterprises in Kitale town. The study used  both descriptive, cross-sectional and correlation research designs. A total of 14 SME  hotels  with  a total of 92 regular employees were sampled   to participate in the study. The sampling method used was census since the population was small. The research instruments reliability test  had a cronbatch’s alpha value of  0.884 which was above the threshold. The results indicated that SMEs hotels have not embraced entrepreneurial working environments in their work places which will allow employees to be motivated to exploit their potential and improve on productivity. The study results also showed that employee productivity is low implying that they may not be achieving their set targets which affects performance of  SMEs hotels. The study results also revealed that there was a significant relationship between entrepreneurial working environment and employee productivity. The study recommendations were;the SMEs hotels are facing stiff competition from world class hotels, to remain relevant  and in productive operations, they should embrace creation of entrepreneurial environment where their employees will feel motivated  and valued. The SMEs hotels  should consider recruiting entrepreneurial human resources who will easily utilize their unique skills and talents to benefit the enterprises they work with and the  county government of Trans Nzoia  and national government should draft a policy to provide incentives to  SMEs hotels while operating in  uncertain business environments..

The rise of new service-oriented technologies drives new ways to perform interoperability between manufacturing companies, even in areas not directly connected to the manufacturing enterprise core business. The aerospace segment is a highly competitive area, supported by numerous partners and applications which need to collaborate and be interoperable. Particularly, the subcontracted small and medium enterprises (SMEs) need to be flexible towards the changes that are imposed by the major contractors, doing so at the lowest cost. This paper proposes a framework based on Model Driven Interoperability (MDI) and service orientation principles, which advocates negotiations as a pillar mechanism towards the achievement of sustainable interoperability in manufacturing organisations acting in the same industrial market, using a service-oriented platform. The framework encompasses a set of tools that implement the business modelling and negotiation rules, including a reference ontology, and supported by a set of cloud-based services deployed in a cloud infrastructure. The underlying complexity is to model the dynamic environment where multi-attribute and multi-participant negotiations are racing over a set of heterogeneous resources. The evolution of the negotiations is performed through the use of the metaphor Interaction Abstract Machines (IAMs). This framework is then illustrated by the case study of the European Space Agency – Concurrent Design Facility (ESA-CDF) department, which performs feasibility studies for space missions.

Abstract Field S located in offshore Malaysia had been producing for more than 30 years with nearly 90% of current active strings dependent on gas lift assistance. Subsurface challenges encountered in this matured field such as management of increasing water-cut, sand production, and depleting reservoir pressure are one of key factors that drive the asset team to continuously monitor the performance of gaslifted wells to ensure better control of production thereby meeting target deliverability of the field. Hence, Gas Lift Optimization (GLOP) campaign was embarked in Field S to accelerate short term production with integration of Gas Lift Management Modules in Integrated Operations (IO). A workflow was created to navigate asset team in this campaign from performing gaslift health check, diagnostic and troubleshooting to data and model validation until execution prior to identification of GLOP candidates with facilitation from digital workflows. Digital Fields and Integrated Operations (IO) developed in Field S provided an efficient collaborative working environment to monitor field performance real time and optimize production continuously. Digital Fields comprises of multiple engineering workflows developed and operationalized to act as enablers for the asset team to quickly identify the low-hanging fruit opportunities. This paper will focus on entire cycle process of digital workflows with engineer's intervention in data hygiene and model validation, the challenges to implement GLOP, and results from the campaign in Field S.

Many benefits from implementation of e-business solutions are related to network effects which means that there are many interconnected parties utilizing the same or compatible technologies. The large-scale adoption of e-business practices in public sectors and in small and medium enterprises (SMEs)-prevailing economic environments will be successful if appropriate support in the form of education, adequate legislative, directions, and open source applications is provided. This case study describes the adoption of e-business in public sectors and SMEs by using an integrated open source approach called e-modules. E-module is a model which has process properties, data properties, and requirements on technology. Therefore e-module presents a holistic framework for deployment of e-business solutions and such e-module structure mandates an approach which requires reengineering of business processes and adoption of strong standardization that solves interoperability issues. E-module is based on principles of service-oriented architectures with guidelines for introduction into business processes and integration with ERP systems. Such an open source approach enables the spreading of compatible software solutions across any given country, thus, increasing e-business adoption. This paper presents a methodology for defining and building e-modules.

Banking Industry in India, a major section of which constitute of nationalized Banks, is facing three important challenges- to continue its contribution in rapid growth of Indian Economy, to make pace with the International Prudential Norms of Banking and Accounting Practices and to contain NPAs (Non-Performing Assets) and recover, which has reached an alarming Rs 6.0 lakhs crores. The bulk of Bank advances go to the large industries and big and established business houses, the major share of NPAs are attributed to them presently. The share of MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises), a priority sector of Indian economy, towards growing NPAs may need equal attention as they are in large numbers. Laying stress on strengthening legal framework to overcome this challenge not proving very effective, a service oriented architecture framework may find a solution of advance diagnosis and prevention of MSMEs turning into NPAs. This chapter proposes data mining service in cloud computing environment to Banks which can be delivered as Platform-as-a-Service through Shiny.
