The workload is highly related to efficient and effective human resource utilization in an organization to achieve organizational objectives, vision, and mission. Various methods are used to optimize the number of personnel in an organization so that each task can be completed quickly and precisely. Accounting Institutions are inseparable from problems regarding the lack of workload with the number of personnel working on it. The change of the Policy gives an impact on the change of Job Description and List of Personnel Arrangements of the organization. To overcome these issues, workload measurement, analysis can be used to determine the optimal amount of personnel required in their working units. This study uses a mental workload measurement so called NASA-TLX and physical workload measurement According to the applicable workload regulation that is in accordance with the Administrative Direction of Workload Analysis. Both methods are then carried out to be compared to each other. The results showed that the physical workload is required in the completion of tasks in each work unit. In addition, the determination of the optimal number of personnel using physical workload or appropriate tasks per task position based Job Description is performed. As a result, it is known that there is an excessive workload in the Sub Service Budget Cost work units with personal shortcomings. On the other hand, there is an excessive personnel number in Administrative Work, Sub Department of Finance Administration and Sub Department Financial Control. The overall conclusion of this study is a need for personnel reduction in a List of Personnel Arrangements currently known as Accounting Institutions to be 39 personnel instead of the existing 48 personnel.  Keywords: Workload, NASA-TLX (Task Load Index), assignments Per Task title, Number of Optimal personnel

Abstract The paper deals with the improvement of central traversing system on rotor spinning machines, where rectilinear motion with variable stroke is used. A new system of traversing rod with implemented set of magnetic-mechanical energy accumulators is described. Mathematical model of this system is analysed in the MSC. Software Adams/View and verified by an experimental measurement on a real-length testing rig. Analysis results prove the enhancement of devised traversing system, where the overall dynamic force is reduced considerably. At the same time, the precision of the traversing movement over the machine length is increased. This enables to increase machine operating speed while satisfying both the maximal tensile strength of the traversing rod and also output bobbin size standards. The usage of the developed mathematical model for determination of the optimal number and distribution of accumulators over the traversing rod of optional parameters is proved. The potential of the devised system for high-performance rotor spinning machines with longer traversing rod is also discussed.

Parking Place

Nowadays, in all cities, there is an acute problem of a lack of parking spaces. The number of vehicles is constantly increasing not only in big cities and megacities, but also in small towns of the country, and there are not enough parking places—the pace of solving the problem is several times slower than the growth rate of transport among citizens. The paper is dedicated to the determination of an optimal size of a parking place for design vehicles in a parking space as an element of roads. In the example of passenger cars and trucks, the optimal number of parking places is presented. The results of the research on the dimensioning of parking spaces serve as recommendations and can be used for the design of objects of transportation infrastructure. According to the research, authors introduce the term “design vehicle” and provide its definition. They also figure out optimal parameters for each design vehicle and recommend a special template for designing parking places.

Abstract The confidence of reliability indicates that reliability has randomness induced by any epistemic uncertainties, and these uncertainties can be reduced and manipulated by additional knowledge. In this paper, the uncertainty of input statistical models is mainly treated in the context of confidence-based design optimization (CBDO). Thus, the objective of this paper is to determine the optimal number of data for reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) under input model uncertainty. The uncertainty of input statistical models due to insufficient data is frequent in practical applications since collecting and testing samples of random variables requires engineering efforts. There are two ways to increase the confidence of reliability to be satisfied, which are shifting design vector and supplementing input data. The purpose of this research is to find balanced optimum accounting for a trade-off between two operations since both operations lead to the growth of overall cost. Therefore, it is necessary to optimally distribute the resources to two costs which are denoted as the operating cost of design vector and the development cost of acquiring new data. In this study, two types of costs are integrated as a bi-objective function, satisfying the probabilistic constraint for the confidence of reliability. The number of data is regarded as design variable to be optimized, and stochastic sensitivity analysis of reliability with respect to the number of data is developed. The proposed bi-objective CBDO can determine the optimal number of input data based on the current dataset. Then, the designers decide the additional number of tests for collecting input data according to the optimum of bi-objective CBDO to minimize the overall cost.
