Common Term

During the course of the industrial 4.0 era, companies have been exponentially developed and have digitized almost the whole business system to stick to their performance targets and to keep or to even enlarge their market share. Maintenance function has obviously followed the trend as it’s considered one of the most important processes in every enterprise as it impacts a group of the most critical performance indicators such as: cost, reliability, availability, safety and productivity. E-maintenance emerged in early 2000 and now is a common term in maintenance literature representing the digitalized side of maintenance whereby assets are monitored and controlled over the internet. According to literature, e-maintenance has a remarkable impact on maintenance KPIs and aims at ambitious objectives like zero-downtime.

This paper reports on the first stage of a study on the usage of electronic information services (EIS) by staff and students at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) and Leeds Metropolitan University (LMU). The study used by qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The questionnaires used at GCU were modeled on those developed at LMU. The project aimed to monitor off-campus usage of EIS, the use of passworded databases, and the freely available internet. The volume of electronic citations in students' course work and the possibility of developing routine performance indicators were also examined. Focus Groups were conducted with both staff and students between November 2001 and March 2002. These suggested, inter alia, that paramedics are the heaviest users of EIS and that paramedicine is the subject area where EIS are most integrated into the curriculum. Attitudes to the internet are extremely varied. Mode of attendance and workplace usage are important factors.

Water Safety Plan

The Water Safety Plan (WSP) concept has become a globally recognised and accepted approach to drinking water supply management and operation. Many countries around the world are adopting this proactive, risk-based model for ensuring consistent confidence in drinking water safety, accessibility and affordability. While it is widely accepted that the WSP concept is an appropriate tool for ensuring drinking-water supply efficiency, the process for gathering the required evidence to demonstrate this continues to be rather vague. The problem may lie fundamentally in the way WSPs are developed and implemented. This paper discusses the need for establishing performance targets, identifying key performance indicators and monitoring these to build a body of evidence that would be instrumental in demonstrating whether WSPs are effective or not.

Performance Analyze

After-sales service (ASS) is a product support activity provided to customers; after-sales service that focuses on quality can create a sustainable competitive advantage. This study aims to the ASS performance, analyze the causes of performance constraints that occur in ASS and recommendations for improving the performance of ASS conceptually. Service partner performance achievement can be assessed from four categories, i.e. very good, good, bad, and poor, based on the actual level of performance compared to performance targets. The sample of this research is 12 ASS partners in the electrical equipment industry in West Java and Jakarta. Factors causing failure were analyzed descriptively using the fault tree analysis (FTA) method, which involved experts in focus group discussions (FGD). Based on the evaluation, 25% of partners were rated good, 50% poor, and 25% very poor. Partner performance achievement is carried out on 22 performance indicators, of which 20 performance indicators have not achieved a good rating. These indicators relate to brand issues, warranty, training, parts control and stock management, pricing, and service systems, including service centers and service facilities. The proposed concept that becomes a recommendation for improving the performance of power tools ASS is improving the operating system and the selection of partners in the service center and service dealer categories with industrial customer segmentation.

Social Media Platforms

Since the launch of Facebook (FB) in 2006, social media participation has grown rapidly during the past decade. Although FB and YouTube (YT) still occupy the most prominent positions in the social media landscape, Instagram (IG) is rapidly gaining ground, and now has a market share of 35%. It is not uncommon for users to have more than one account. New social media platforms have been developed and gained some popularity, some major concerns have been raised. Displacement–reinforcement effects, such as changes in attitude and loyalty, may appear in relation to both new and old media. In addition, age appears to influence the platform usage and preference. These matters led us to our research question: Is the Internet generation more likely than other generations to switch from FB to YT or IG?

The Impact

254 Background: The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer’s System Performance initiative is a national, collaborative effort, aimed at reporting pan-Canadian system performance indicators across the cancer control continuum to inform system-wide quality improvements. Methods: This work involved prioritizing indicator development to address quality and cancer continuum dimensions, defining and adopting standardized methodologies, and collecting validated, comparable data from provincial and national sources. Results have been disseminated though a number of general and special topic reports and have been used by policy makers and planners to identify and interpret gaps, variations, and trends to inform quality improvement strategies. An independent evaluation of the impact of this work was conducted in 2012. Results: The Reports, published annually since 2009, include a broad range of performance indicators on prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment, research, patient experience, survivorship, supportive care, and long-term outcomes. Results show notable differences in performance by province, age and gender, geography (urban/rural), and socio-economic status, including significant variations in clinical practice patterns and concordance with evidence-based surgical, radiation, and systemic therapy guidelines. These are examined along with population risk factors, screening rates, and wait times, to assess relationships with outcome measures, including patient reported outcomes. Special studies, including chart reviews, have been conducted to explain variations, set performance targets, and to help focus quality improvement efforts. The impact evaluation identified substantial uptake of system performance information across the country and a range of specific initiatives informed by the work. Conclusions: This work represents one of the most comprehensive efforts of its kind involving all provincial and national jurisdictions in the sharing and dissemination of standardized performance results, the development of evidence-based national performance targets, and coordinated efforts to use this information to inform system-wide quality improvements in cancer control.

The Relationship

Objective: To explore the relationship between the income of general practitioners (GPs) and the performance characteristics of their practices. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting: All practices ( n = 166) in an inner city health authority, two years before the introduction of the new GP contract in April 2004 were studied. Main outcome measures: True income per GP was unavailable to us. Instead, the proxy measure - superannuable pay - was calculated (gross eligible income per GP minus the national average sum for GP expenses). Practice staff funding figures were also obtained. These two financial indicators were compared with practice characteristics and performance indicators. Results: Data were available from 151 out of 166 practices. Based on regression analysis, larger list sizes and higher practice staff budgets predicted 31% of the variation in GP income (standardized β = 0.66, P < 0.001; β = 0.19, P = 0.02; respectively). Higher staff budgets were independently associated with better cervical smear and two-year-old vaccination rates (standardized β = 0.24, P < 0.01; β = 0.18, P = 0.03; respectively). No association was demonstrated between performance indicators and income. Conclusion: Under the previous contract, GPs were able to maximize their income by taking on more patients, whereas achievement of performance targets had very little impact on overall income. The opportunity costs of pursuing higher-quality care might have outweighed the modest financial rewards attached to performance targets. Provided rewards for good-quality care are sufficiently high, the new GP contract is likely to tip the balance in favour of generating earnings by improving the quality of clinical care. To deliver this care, as measured by available performance indicators, our findings imply that a greater investment in practice staff will be needed.
