There is extensive evidence to suggest that many industrial products are designed with far too many parts. Design for assembly (DFA) case studies indicate that, in many designs, large proportions of excess components are only used for joining. In many cases an excessive number of incorrect joining processes are used, possibly due to a lack of knowledge of such factors as availability, cost and functional performance of alternatives. Selection methodologies exist for some individual joining technologies. However, selecting the most appropriate technology is usually left to the designer through a non-formalized judgemental approach. This paper introduces a new methodology for identifying the most appropriate joining technology and its specific process variants, through both a paper-based methodology and software implementation, as a part of a proactive approach to DFA. The underlying strategy adopted is described and the selection process itself and its application to industrial case studies is demonstrated.

<p>The use of jajan in the masabatan biu ceremony in achi katiga tradition in the village of Tenganan Dauh Tukad Karangasem is closely related to the natural conditions of the area. Considering that the nature is rich with natural resource to be used as a complement in the masabatan biu ceremony. The achi katiga tradition is part of culture. The implementation of the achi katiga tradition contains noble values inherited by the ancestors. These values certainly need to be practiced by the community so that they can be understood and developed by the community. The use of jajan at the masabatan biu ceremony can be used in selection of saye , the communication of this organization helps in the selection process. Selection of Saye is the selection of candidates for the leadership of Sekaa Teruna Dukuh Mengku The uniqueness of the selection of Saye is that not all members can become prospective leaders. So that in this background a problem statement can be drawn, namely what is the shape of the jajan symbol made by roban in the implementation of the Aci katiga Tradition? What is the function of the Achintya Jajan symbol made by roban in the implementation of the Aci katiga Tradition? What is the meaning of the jajan symbol made by roban in the implementation of the Aci katiga Tradition? The three formulations of this problem are dissected using Religious Theory is one of the most complex and<br />evolving elements in various places in the world. According to Koentjaraningrat (1980: 228-229) that if someone does something in the world, then there will be four main elements of religion in general, namely: (1). (2) a system of belief or human images about the shape of the world, nature, the unseen, life, death, etc .; (3) a system of implementation related to the world; and (4) community groups or social units that conceptualize and revive religion and the system of religious ceremonies. The use of Symbol Theory to reveal the meaning of the symbol of the use of jajan in the ceremony of the masabatan biu to the Achi katiga tradition. Etymologically, symbols or symbols are derived from the Greek word “ syim-ballein “ which means throwing together (objects, deeds) openness of ideas. Perception theory is the core of communication, whereas interpretation (interpretation) is the core of perception, which is identical to the decoding in the persepni process of the symbol’s meaning in the use of jajan in the ceremony of the mesabatan biu in the Achi katiga tradition. The method of data have been used is information, interviews, and documentation. Observation of the analyze,<br />observations Interviews are carried out by constructing people, events, activities, organizations, motivations, feelings, etc. that are carried out by two parties, namely the interviewer (interviewer) who asks questions with the person interviewed (interviewed).</p>

This study aims to determine and analyze the selection process of candidate members of the Election Supervisory Committee (Panwas) Election in two districts and two cities in the province of Riau. The selection takes place in mid-2017, in response to Law No. 15 of 2011 on General Election. Moreover, Riau will hold the Elections to the Regions in 2018 and Legislative Election and the Presidential and Vice Presidential Election in 2019. The existence of Panwas is a necessity in the effort to make the election more qualified and produce leaders in accordance with the conscience of the people. But please note how transparency in the selection process of candidates for Panwas members who have a very big mandate in the nation's democratic process. Selection of Panwas member candidates should fulfill the element of transparency as a proof of the implementation of good governance.The method used in this research is qualitative research methods. Data collection is done by using primary data in the form of in-depth interviews to the informants.Purposive sampling is chosen to be a technique in getting informants in accordance with this research. In addition, secondary data derived from the Election Supervisory Agency and mass media documents also support and sharpen the case studies as the analytical blades in this study.

<p>ABSTRACTSelection Policies generally is guidelines for library that contains the design and activities that will be increase quality and quantity of collections. This written activity has capability to guide library vision, mission, and goal. He purpose of this research are to review selection process of fiction collection, selection authority, and selection principle in Kanaan Global School Jambi Library. This research using case study approach and research data obtained from interviews and documentation. The result shows: (a) on selection process, selection plot already on point but there is no written policy; the librarian also have know how to use selection tools such as publisher catalogue and bookstore website (b) dualism of authority in fiction book selection policy were librarian and chief director. Librarian just as Indonesian fiction collection selector and the chief director as foreign language fiction collection. (c) Principle differences on fiction collection, librarian more focus on collection popularity and the chief director more focus on quality and vision mission and curriculum relevance.</p>

Abstract Design and manufacturing integration at the early design stage in product development, that is, the integration of conceptual design and conceptual process planning, may make a big impact. Thus the development of systematic computer-based support for this integration is desirable. To select and evaluate manufacturing processes, some aspects of form information is necessary. Thus when only the functionally critical forms have been determined from major functional requirements, synthesis of the configuration shape in a generic form would enable early assessment of manufacturing, processes. As a stepping stone toward the development of the configuration shape synthesis and process selection, case studies have been conducted using real world industrial parts. In this paper, we present the case studies using a planet carrier and a gear box housing, and discuss the issues in development of the shape synthesis and process selection method to support the design and process planning integration.

Impact of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) on sustainable transport development is indisputable. It can be tested through various methods. The identification and detailed analysis of specific types of ICT solutions, case studies approach or scenarios analysis are examples of perspectives for impact assessment that can lead to the proof that successful applications of ICT solutions entails optimised, more accessible, less resource consuming and less emission intensive transport. The impact of ICTs in travel induction and substitution and resulting decarbonisation effect is difficult to assess isolated from other social, economic and technologic drivers. Financial applicability reflects initial investment cost as well as operation maintenance costs. Organizational feasibility refers primarily to the necessary changes in organisation and conduct of operations created by introduction of ICTs. The social factor results from user and public acceptance or lack of it. User acceptance is combination of many sub factors of which most important are: D2D travel time, D2D travel costs, comfort and convenience, safety and security. The objective of the article is to present the applicability of ICT solutions in passenger transport from the perspective of transport users taking into consideration real case studies from different European background. These case studies were identified as a result of specific selection process in order to receive a complex and differentiated sample. The first element of the selection process was the identification of ICT solutions to be applied in case studies. The next element was the choice of regions corresponding to varied economic and geographic characteristics. In addition, cultural factors have a strong impact on the behaviour of users. The resulting multidimensional factor matrix allows for the selection of best fitting case studies, which have potential to cover most of the ICT applications. Five European settings are selected for in-depth research. Each case represents different geographic, social and economic area, which forms a good European sample across differentiated setups. Case studies are supported by user surveys. Surveys allow for direct answers regarding user attitudes towards proposed ICTs. Based on this approach findings could be reported. The main conclusion is that users in various regions with very different characteristics as to the wealth, GDP levels, geography, and cultural backgrounds represent surprisingly similar attitudes towards ICTs. Specific findings regarding different types of solutions and different type of users are presented in the article. The analysis of selected case studies shows also that they could offer solution to many of transport sector problems including key issues from transport policy agenda: environment, mobility or accessibility. The paper is based on the authors research conducted within COMPASS project (Optimised co-modal passenger transport for reducing carbon emissions, project co-funded by the European Commission within the Seventh Framework Programme).
