This paper argues that the opportunities offered by currently available collaborative Planning Support Systems (PSS) are useful not only for applying a systems approach and coordinating actors in the planning process, but also for tracking the evolution of design alternatives toward a final plan. The availability of process log-data in the latest PSS opens new paths for understanding (geo)design dynamics. With the aim of taking full advantage of this new data source, a novel Geodesign Process Analytics is described in detail from log-data extraction and pre-processing methods and tools to the development of the set of spatial, performance, temporal and design evolution indicators. The study also demonstrates how the proposed measures are appropriate for display in a dynamic dashboard, making available a real-time process analysis tool to the team coordinators, thus supporting their leading role in facilitating the geodesign process. The research assumptions were tested using the Geodesignhub PSS and data from a geodesign study developed within the International Geodesign Collaboration.

 The current paper is focused on material resources as a controlling factor in crop production. It has been found that according to the analysis of crop production expenditures in agricultural enterprises of Ukraine an expense structure consists of approximately 70% of material costs. In this regard, the ABC-analysis is utilized with the aim to determine the items of material expenses that significantly affect the cost and consequently the process of operational management for making decisions. The findings of the ABC-analysis of material expenditures for crop production in terms of elements at Ukrainian agricultural enterprises made it possible to determine the types of control (systematic, periodic, selective) that should be applied for different cost groups focusing on the most significant items of the material expenses. Expenditures are classified according to the stages of the technological process and types of the technology for crop cultivation, allowing to control the scope of production costs at each stage of crops growing. These stages can be the basis for the application in the system of cost management of Activity Based Costing model. It is proposed to apply the operational control of material costs through the budgeting system in the agrarian management. It plays a leading role in the management system providing the process of managerial decisions making with the operative information about the actual indicators of material costs and their deviations. A form fragment of a flexible budget on material expenditures for winter wheat production has been elaborated. The enterprise managers can make operational, current and strategic management decisions and, consequently, influence the change of material resources, adjusting them to the technological processes stages in production and sales of goods, works and services based on the proposed form of a budget.

ObjectiveMusculoskeletal care pathways are variable and inconsistent. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the evidence for the clinical and/or cost effectiveness of current care pathways for adults with hip and/or knee pain referred for specialist opinion.DesignSystematic review.Data sourcesElectronic database searches were carried out in MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Embase, PEDro, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central and Health Management Information Consortium without language restriction from 1990 onwards. Websites were reviewed for grey literature.Eligibility criteriaAll study designs and documents that considered care pathways for adults with musculoskeletal hip and/or knee pain referred for specialist opinion were screened by two reviewers. Risk of bias was assessed using The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist for randomised controlled trials and the Joanna Briggs Institute checklists.Data extraction and synthesisData extraction and quality assessment were performed by one reviewer and checked by a second. Findings are reported narratively.ResultsThe titles and abstracts of 1248 articles were screened and 140 full-text articles retrieved. 19 papers reporting 17 studies met the study inclusion criteria. Quality was low due to study design and methodological flaws. Most of the outcomes relate to organisational process at the ‘meso’ level of a whole systems approach.ConclusionIt can be concluded that the pathway is not linear, containing variations and activity loops. The available evidence suggests that, from the point of referral for specialist opinion, a model is required that integrates the skills of all the different healthcare professionals and streamlining is required to ensure that individuals are seen by the healthcare professional that best meets their needs. There is very limited evidence of patient experience informing knee and hip care pathways.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42016035510.

This paper presents the results of a collaborative project, the objective of which was to investigate the potential offered by combining ultrasonic Lamb wave interrogation of composite material structures, insonifying the whole structure, with a single wavefront integrating optical fibre detector. The system, which was designed primarily for condition monitoring rather than defect imaging, proved to be capable of detecting small (centimetre square) delaminations, millimetre-sized holes and impact damages of a few joules, all with insonification wavelengths of the order of 2 cm. Data extraction proved to be extremely important since the damage-detection process relies essentially on analysing scattering signatures rather than attempting to image defects and damage. The system—dubbed SISCO (Structurally Integrated Systems for comprehensive evaluation of COmposites)—indicates that self-monitoring structures can be efficiently designed using controlled insonification and a relatively sparse sensor array, presenting a contrast to the more conventional imaging approach involving far more complex sensing arrays and detection and signal processing algorithms.

Sustainable Competitive Advantages

Strategic planning is an organizational process, the purpose of which is to conceive, formulate and manage the strategies implementation in the enterprise. The implementation of strategic planning involves the implementation of a set of actions aimed at taking the organization from a known position to a more desirable position, creating sustainable competitive advantages. This study deals with substantiating the role and importance of organizational strategic planning in the development of the organization using a systems approach. Systems engineering consists of a multidisciplinary and collaborative engineering approach, the purpose of which is to derive, develop and verify the effectiveness of decisions or the functioning of the system throughout its life cycle to satisfy the needs, expectations and desires of stakeholders. The purpose of this article is critically to analyze the Andrade method by comparing the processes and tools used in this method with those obtained as a result of traditional strategic planning. The methods were compared by developing a case study conducted in a science, technology and innovation institution operating in Brazil and annually conducting strategic planning cycles, using traditional methodologies for managing and analyzing the effectiveness of the organization and defining strategies for its development. The paper using the engineering system, carries out the comparison of the applied phases and tools with the offers in the model. The obtained results prove disadvantages of the traditional strategic planning process in comparison with the model proposed by Andrade. The application of the proposed model would allow to obtain indicators, different from the results of traditional strategic planning, in terms of forming another set of strategies and tools to manage the organization’s development. The paper concludes that the model proposed by Andrade is more complex than the traditional one. It indicates the expediency of organizations using other tools to analyze and formulate company development strategies in the context of strengthening their competitive advantages and achieving strategic goals.
