The need for new technologies and efficient management of resources requires the use of performance indicators whose information ensures management in a visual and fast way. Today, maintenance is a sector that is technological and developed, and indicators that can develop the team a lot. The proposed study aims to analyze the individual performance indicators of the maintenance team, in addition to identifying the main problems affecting efficiency in the sector. To this end, a case study was carried out in the maintenance sector of a food industry. With the subsequent application of Pareto, it was possible to observe which the most impacting points were. After the application of Ishikawa, it is possible to identify the causes, and with the 5W2H points of improvement in the process were defined, planning with the actions for monitoring and execution, this action plan was proposed because of all analysis of the indicators. It is concluded that the indicators are necessary for a good management, and the application of the tools facilitates the vision of the indicators and still allows the improvement of them.

As the health care system transitions to a precision medicine approach that tailors clinical care to the genetic profile of the individual patient, there is a potential tension between the clinical uptake of new technologies by providers and the legal system's expectation of the standard of care in applying such technologies. We examine this tension by comparing the type of evidence that physicians and courts are likely to rely on in determining a duty to recommend pharmacogenetic testing of patients prescribed the oral anti-coagulant drug warfarin. There is a large body of inconsistent evidence and factors for and against such testing, but physicians and courts are likely to weigh this evidence differently. The potential implications for medical malpractice risk are evaluated and discussed.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the operational performance of industrial park infrastructures in Germany to find first indications for cost saving potentials. Design/methodology/approach – Between 2006 and 2007, six chemical parks and chemical related industrial parks in Germany participated in a benchmarking study with focus on operation and maintenance of buildings, communication infrastructures and traffic infrastructures. Based on data analysis in combination with workshops, numerous key performance indicators were defined and calculated. Findings – To compare the different complexities of the analysed infrastructures, the most important key performance indicators were adjusted using correction factors defined and verified during the workshops. This made a discussion based on comparable and comprehensible figures possible which increased the acceptance and applicability of the benchmarking methodology. The benchmarking results showed large differences in performance levels, indicating that there are significant cost saving potentials in some industrial parks. Research limitations/implications – The comparability may remain limited due to the partly insufficient availability of data from the participants. Other limitations are due to the small number of investigated industrial parks and the focus of the benchmarking study on Germany. Originality/value – The developed benchmark and best practice methodology is well suited to evaluate best practice in the field of industrial park infrastructures. It is important for industrial parks to understand the individual performance level and to adapt best practice in all areas.

Advanced Metering

This paper sets out features of traditional Energy Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) employed in energy management programs; then, new indicators are proposed based on Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) usage. These indicators make it possible to directly relate the amount of energy, type of end use and user consumption patterns. Analysis of AMI system information enables planning for differentiated Demand-Side Management (DSM) strategies. A case study developed at Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Bogotá campus is presented, which proposes new Energy Key Performance Indicators in Real Time. These indicators enable information analysis and DSM strategies that are appropriate for new technologies and that are aimed at increasing energy efficiency. Additionally, this paper presents the factors that have to be taken into account when implementing KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and the decision-making process. This results in variable overall energy savings between 5 and 40%, according to the DSM strategy implemented.

Learning Relationships

This chapter presents an educational and consulting path for the use of new technologies that support the improvement of learning relationships in groups (Parmigiani, 2009), the construction of knowledge (Lakkala et al., 2007; Kangas et al., 2007) and the ability to recognize and explore the experience of communication and relationship at professional and personal levels, for the individual and for groups in order to enhance abilities and professional skills on several levels: cognitive, affective, conative and practical (Paquay, Altet, Charlier, & Perrenoud, 2001). Through the report of the experiments carried out for two years and applied to two training projects for teachers of five Primary and Secondary Italian schools, the main objective is to describe and present the overall results. The approaches used were inspired by the method of participatory research and action research with a clinical and pedagogical approach. The methodology is based on the case study of the Clinica della Formazione (Massa, 1992; Franza, 2003) that increases the emotional, communicative and relationship dimensions and gives concreteness not only to the educational action but also to the process behind it, which then becomes the target of investigations.

Transformation Processes

The Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is seeking to revolutionise its academic operations. HCT has 17 campuses across the UAE, creating both opportunities and challenges for management. The organisation needs to identify and implement an effective and efficient management structure and process to realise its new vision, HCT 2.0. HCT has developed a strategic plan 2017–2022, where it is implementing the corporate approach in an academic institution. This approach imposes 320 key performance indicators and 23 strategic initiatives to achieve the HCT 2.0 vision and mission. The key target of HCT 2.0 is to achieve 100% employment for its graduates by 2022. The management has solicited all stakeholders’ input in the transformation processes, to ensure alignment of its operations with the new paradigm. This paper demonstrates the transformation process and its impact at the leadership level. Keywords: Leadership, organisational transformation, HCT 2.0, change management

Hearing Impaired Children

This paper presents the procedures developed and used in the individual treatment programs for a group of preschool, postrubella, hearing-impaired children. A case study illustrates the systematic fashion in which the clinician plans programs for each child on the basis of the child’s progress at any given time during the program. The clinician’s decisions are discussed relevant to (1) the choice of a mode(s) for the child and the teacher, (2) the basis for selecting specific target behaviors, (3) the progress of each program, and (4) the implications for future programming.
