Corrosion is still responsible for large economic losses in many and very different industry sectors like e.g. marine, refinery and petrochemistry, oil and gas pipelines or of drinking water and appearing by hot gases and combustion products in steel and concrete constructions. There are only some examples chosen. The corrosion phenomena are still a huge astonishment because of some costly repair processes and because of large production losses. The corrosion control systems existing by now help to avoid or to minimize these losses but the question still is, if the existing control system can be working better or longer. If yes, what a key can optimize the corrosion protection depending on the sector’s requirements.

Cost control is a part of cost management which is carried out by the project owner and the contractor throughout a project. However, the structures of the control function developed by each party generally differ since the purpose of the function and the level of the structure are not exactly the same. Contractors have several advantages while building a cost control system such as more detailed information about the project, more background, more dedicated personnel, specifically developed software etc. Therefore, contractors have a broader vision on the issue. Owners need to utilize cost control systems not only for common reasons but also due to some specific necessities. Unlike contractors, owners have to capitalize projects just before they put their investments into operation. This paper intends to focus the necessities prioritized by the owners and contractors on the issue. A comparison will be made to distinguish the differences between the cost perspectives of project owners and contractors. An assessment will be done of the matters that owners pay attention while establishing a cost control structure in light of the experiences practiced in oil and gas projects. Thus, the important points which should be better to consider by the owners' project control teams will be advised.

Abstract Simons’1 “levers of control” is a strategy-based framework that takes into consideration the belief systems of and the functions and interactions within an organization. The purpose of this article is to discuss Simons’ levers of control from an Islamic viewpoint, based on the teachings of the Quran and Sunna. It demonstrates that the concept of “levers of control”, as posited by Simons, does not contradict the basic tenets of Islam. In fact, all the main components of the levers of control – belief system, boundary system, diagnostic control system, and interactive system – were actually emphasized and vigorously implemented by Prophet Muhammad SAW. However, these practices have never before been organized into well-arranged and systematic categories that can be used as guidelines by Islamic organizations. Such organizations should aspire to implement comprehensively the practices of Prophet Muhammad SAW in all aspects of organizational management functions, including those related to control. However, in the absence of clear and comprehensive guidelines, any implementation may not be appropriate or in accordance with the practices of Prophet Muhammad SAW. More importantly, incorrect implementation as a result of limited understanding or misunderstanding of the Prophet’s SAW practices can affect the overall perception of Islam. By properly utilizing the levers of control, organizations that strive to emulate the practices of Prophet Muhammad SAW in their operations can be successful.

Control systems are an important and increasingly complex part of most industrial and non-industrial systems. As such, identifying and handling associated risks is increasingly important. Systems- Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is a relatively new hazard identification method developed to analyze modern, complex control systems. While traditional hazard analysis methods mainly focus on the failures of a system, STPA focuses on interactions among control commands and environmental conditions, so that potential non-failure problems, mainly caused by unsafe control actions, can be identified. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers are the most common conventional controllers (CCs) and are widely used in industry due to their simplicity. PID controllers are tuned for operation and based on the system behaviour, in a certain limited operating region. If the behavior and/or operating region of a system changes over time, the PID controller requires retuning to perform as desired and prevent loss of production, or accidents, due to inadequate control. Adaptive controllers (ACs) are able to self-adjust and adapt to changes in the system parameters and operating region, such that the overall control task is performed without the need for continuous re-tuning by an operator. The tuning of an AC is done once, at the time of implementation. This can be very helpful for both the efficiency and the safety of the control system. The interactions between the operator and the control system are reduced when the controller is able to self-adjust, potentially reducing the number of hazards. On the other hand, the complexity of ACs may introduce new kinds of hazards that do not exist when using CCs. In this paper, we compare CCs and ACs from both a control and a safety perspective using STPA. As a test case, we compare the efficiencies and hazards of a CC, and an AC applied to a pipeline-riser system subject to slug flow, a hazardous phenomenon occurring in mixed oil and gas pipes. This phenomenon is difficult to control since the behaviour changes drastically with different flow conditions.

The importance of corporate social responsibility, especially in the environmental domain, continues to grow in an era of mounting climate urgency. This study is based on original, empirical, survey-based research in two post-communist European countries and seeks to add a geographical viewpoint and to investigate the influence of innovative constructs (environmental reporting, environmental strategy, environmental management control system) on environmental and economic performance. Data are analysed through partial least squares structural equation modelling, which enables the use of a complex model with several links between constructs. Findings reveal that environmental strategy has a positive impact on the use of an environmental management control system and an indirect positive impact on environmental performance. The environmental management control system has been shown to have a positive influence on environmental performance and, ultimately, on economic performance.

The issue of increasing the efficiency of functioning of classical control systems for technological processes and objects of oil and gas engineering is investigated. The relevance of this topic lies in the need to improve the quality of the control systems for the production and transportation of oil and gas. The purpose of the scientific work is to develop a neuro-fuzzy logic controller with discrete terms for the control and automation of pumping units and pumping stations. It is noted that fuzzy logic, neural network algorithms, together with control methods based on adaptation and synthesis of control objects, make it possible to learn the automation system and work under conditions of uncertainty. Methods for constructing classical control systems are studied, the advantages and disadvantages of fuzzy controllers, as the main control system, are analyzed. A method for constructing a control system based on a neuro-fuzzy controller with discrete terms in conditions of uncertainty and dynamic parameters of the process is proposed. The positive features of the proposed regulator include a combination of fuzzy reasoning about a technological object and mathematical predictive models, a fuzzy control system gains the possibility of subjective description based on neural network structures, as well as adaptation to the characteristics of the object. The graph of dependence for the term-set of the controlled parameter on the degree of membership is presented. A possible implementation of tracking the triggering of one of the rules of the neuro-fuzzy system in the format of functional block diagrams is presented. The process of forming an expert knowledge base in a neuro-fuzzy control system is considered. For analysis, a graph of the dependence of the output parameter values is shown. According to the results obtained, the deviation of the values for the model and the real process does not exceed 18%, which allows us to speak of a fairly stable operation of the neuro-fuzzy controller in automatic control systems.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the influence of environmental, social and governance performance on the economic performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 companies. Structural equation modeling and linear regression have been utilized to measure the overall and individual influence of environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance on economic performance using longitudinal data comprising the years from 2010 to 2015. The overall ESG model had a significant relationship on economic performance. Furthermore, the findings of this study show that social and governance performance significantly affects economic performance in all regression models. However, environmental performance failed to show a significant relationship. The research contributes to the literature by providing insights for investors, managers and employees about the influence of ESG performance on company performance.

AbstractThis research analyses an implementation of four levers of control in PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk which are belief system, boundary system, diagnostic control system and interactive control system. The research methodology is qualitative descriptive that uses primary and secondary data. In belief system, the company communicates its core values with vision, mission statement, and corporate values. The company reduces risk by regulating employee’s behavior in its agreement with union labor, code of conduct and by implementing an investment policy as part of its boundary system. For the interactive control system, the company monitors interactively certain indicators in the balanced scorecard. In the diagnostic control system, the company evaluate an implementation of its strategy by monitoring indicators not only in the balanced scorecard and but also evaluating variances in its management reports.
