The turbulent and complex business environment demands that an organization keeps updating its business travel map; take a strategic step that focuses the capabilities and commitment of all personnel to realize the organization's ideal future. Innovative companies use a balanced scorecard as a strategic management system that manages corporate strategy on a continuous basis. The Strategy Model using balanced scorecard on the company's electrical distributor is a strategic and operational business plan that is developed through the following steps: 1) description of vision and mission becomes the goal; 2) description of objectives into strategic advice; 3) Strategic description becomes a strategic initiative to achieve strategic objectives; 4) description of strategic initiatives into a program; and 5) a description into the budget program. The goal to be achieved in this research is to know the performance on the company's electrical distributor in improving profitability. The Balanced Scorecard analysis in the firm found that the financial perspective score 5, the Customer Perspective 3.08, the Internal Business Process Perspective of 3.04, and the Learning and Growth Perspective 2.7. Based on the results of the company score then determine the strategy to increase sales volume by increasing customer satisfaction through quality products with competitive prices, and increase the number of stock items. Optimizing the profit earned, so as to increase the company's ability to return capital to shareholders, by limiting the cost to the owner's personal needs.


Uncertainty in an increasingly competitive business environment, especially in the raising and emergence of several new companies in travel transportation services, should encourage a company to be able to have better performance to compete. Companies are faced with various threats and opportunities that emerge in the business environment, thus exposed to the uniformity of the company’s performance measurement tools as an instrument of the company’s performance evaluation. Measurement of company performance applied by Baraya Travel Bandung still use traditional performance measurement, incomprehensive and not optimal yet. Baraya Travel Bandung needs a performance measurement tool that can provide an overview of the overall achievement of the company’s business. The design of performance measurement tool that became the purpose of this research is Balanced Scorecard. The design of performance measuring tools using the Balanced Scorecard begins with translating the company’s vision, mission and strategic objectives that are linked into four perspectives in the Balanced Scorecard.

The business environment today in Indonesia is shifting to a whole new level of measuring its performances. Rather than only one financial perspective which causes evaluating the customer's needs, the internal processes, and the human resources separately, the company must have a comprehensive tool to link its vision and missions into strategies that can be implemented and measured. This research aims to analyze and explore the linkage of vision, missions into strategy map, also a measurement of performances at the company using SWOT analysis, TOWS analysis, IE matrix, and Balanced Scorecard analysis. This research presents that balanced scorecard measurement could give benefits by exploring the non-financial perspectives that enable the company to create strategic alignment between strategic objectives that link the company’s vision and missions into strategic outcomes and performance driver so can boost the company’s performance.

The influence of the periodicity of diagnostic measurements on the operational state of high-voltage transformers is considered. Examples of defects of switching devices of converter transformers and methods for their detection are given. The rationale for the importance of recognition of defects at an early stage of their occurrence is given. The influence of the multiplicity of overvoltages on the service life of converter transformers in the aluminum industry is investigated. Based on the analysis of the service life of converter transformers of one of the powerful aluminum plants, where 83% of converter transformers have exhausted their standard service life, it is shown that in 40% of cases it would be possible to avoid their failures, with timely detection and elimination of emerging defects. Examples of defects of OLR (on-load regulators) of converter transformers and methods for their detection are given. The importance of recognition of defects at an early stage of their occurrence is substantiated. A method for chromatographic analysis of dissolved gases in transformer oil has been developed for the qualitative determination of defects and ways to eliminate them. Examples of diagnostics of converter transformers at operating voltage and working load are given, providing the best quality operational characteristics of converter transformers. The periodicity of diagnostic measurements and the reduction of defects and failures has been substantiated. The question of diagnosing the state of the converter transformer TDNP-40000/10 at an enterprise of the aluminum industry is investigated. Currently, diagnostic methods are being developed based on chromatographic analysis of dissolved gases in transformer oil.

The paper examines various approaches to the definition of the term «digital economy» in the scientific and business environment along with factors and forms of its development in different countries taking into account the specifics of the current stage of the Russian economy, which is a matter of particular importance in seeking new sources of the world economy growth. The subject of the research is opportunities and threats inherent in the process of digitalization of economies and their impact on the operation of international and national markets as well as the development of the world economy as a whole. The purpose of the paper was to analyze the practical experience in the formation and development of the digital economy in foreign countries and Russia and identify the changes it brings to the activities of state institutions and business structures, established rules of market exchange, the process of promotion and use of innovations. All the above made it possible to determine the country-level specifics of the digital economy evolution reveal the contradictory nature of its manifestations and justify the necessity for active participation of the state in stimulation and support of potentially promising digital innovations in various sectors of the economy. It is concluded that the level of the digital economy development depends on the real-sector performance, the maturity of markets, the state of the national economy. It is highlighted that the criteria for a comprehensive assessment of the results of the economy digitalization must be developed.

Carbon-like materials such as the anode and the ramming paste play a crucial role in the efficiency of the Hall–Héroult process. The mechanical behavior of these materials during forming processes is complex and still ill-understood. This work aimed to investigate experimentally the mechanical behavior of a carbon paste used in the aluminum industry under different loading conditions. For this purpose, experiments consisting of (1) relaxation tests at different compaction levels, (2) quasi-static cyclic tests at several amplitudes, (3) monotonic compaction tests at varied strain rates, and (4) vibrocompaction tests at different frequencies were carried out. The obtained results highlight some fundamental aspects of the carbon paste behavior such as the strain rate’s effect on the paste compressibility, the hardening-softening behavior under cyclic loadings, the effect of cycling amplitude on the stress state and the paste densification, and the frequency effect on the vibrocompaction process. These results pave the way for the development of reliable rheological models for the modeling and the numerical simulation of carbon pastes forming processes.
