COLLABORATIVE ENGINEERING AND ITS IMPLICATION IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL ENGAGEMENT IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

As suggested by several previous studies, employee and managerial engagement is a key factor in an organization's productivity and performance. Positive leadership styles, social support and autonomy, among others, have been proposed as predictors of engagement. Collaborative learning has multiple advantages over learning in competitive and individual situations, including the development of high-skill social competencies, and collaboration and teamwork per se. This paper analyses the correlation between the level of engagement, employees' perception of collaboration and other common predictors of organizational commitment over a seven-year period of field analysis (2014-2020) in multinational companies in the industrial sector. The study shows that the perception of collaboration is significantly positively correlated with engagement and can be a good predictor of engagement. This suggests the suitability of both the adoption of collaborative learning methodologies to middle and higher degrees linked to industry, as well as the promotion by industrial organizations of the application of collaborative engineering and other methods and means for collaborative work. KEY WORDS: Work engagement; employee engagement; industrial organization; leadership; collaborative learning; cooperative learning; distance learning; collaborative engineering.

Shallow Water Subsea Well Drilling and Completion Utilizing Jack Up Rig at Natuna Sea Block

In 2019, Premier Oil Indonesia commenced drilling campaign to complete 4 development wells consist of 3 subsea development wells and 1 platform well at Natuna Sea Block with water depth 260ft - 280ft. To optimize the mobilization and demobilization cost, one single Jack Up rig was selected to complete those 4 wells. The Jack Up rig require several modifications to enable drilling and completing subsea wells. The Jack Up rig is equipped only with surface BOP stack; therefore, 16” HP riser is utilized to drill reservoir section then a Suspended Texas Deck (STD) was required as means to suspend the weight in order to hang 16” HP riser stack and also it is designed to take the full BOP weight in the event the secondary BOP tensioner fail. A modification work was also performed on Conductor Tensioner Platform (CTP) to extend it to accommodate Subsea Tree temporary storing of Subsea Tree complete with Tree Running Tool (TRT) for inspection and preparation prior to subsea deployment. On the other hand, Subsea Tree has Protection Structure Assembly (PSA) has the biggest dimension among other subsea equipment which leaving only option to be deployed by TDS directly from supply vessel to the wellhead using ROV-friendly lifting bridle arrangement. The drilling campaign has successfully completed and met drilling objectives without major safety case. It is proven that with collaborative engineering works involving company, rig contractor and third party contractors enabling the success of subsea drilling and completion campaign in shallow water at Natuna Sea Block using Jack-up rig. The lesson learned was established upon completing drilling the 1st well then applied to next well resulting significant time improvement to complete the well from 52 days to become only 35 days, noting that these 2 wells have similar drilling and completion profile.

A SURVEY OF WEB-BASED TOOLS FOR COLLABORATIVE ENGINEERING DESIGN

Demand is increasing for effective online tools to perform collaborative engineering design by geographically separated teams. In particular, tools that facilitate the concept ideation phase of the engineering design process are sought for immediate implementation in upcoming capstone engineering design courses. In this work researchers conducted a literature review, interviews with practicing engineers, and a thorough web search to identify available tools and the desired features and requirements. A set of 98 web-based collaborative tools were identified then filtered down to 18 candidates which met the minimum criteria. These 18 were systematically evaluated by the researchers who rated their satisfaction of eleven requirements. The five highest rated finalist platforms were more thoroughly tested by design teams who used the platforms in design sprint activities. Evaluator ratings and feedback were collected at multiple points and several best practices were discovered during testing. Conceptboard (www.conceptboard.com) received the highest evaluator ratings, with few negative comments, and is expected to be an effective tool for collaborative engineering design.

Data management within new product development and collaborative engineering: a bibliometric and systemic analysis

Purpose Although organizations have more data than ever at their disposal, actually deriving meaningful insights and actions from them is easier said than done. In this concern, the main objective of this study is to identify trends and research opportunities regarding data management within new product development (NPD) and collaborative engineering. Design/methodology/approach Bibliometric and systemic analyses have been carried out using the methodological procedure ProKnow-C, which provides a structured framework for the literature review. A bibliographic portfolio (BP) was consolidated with 33 papers that represent the state of art in the subject. Findings Most recent researches within the BP indicate new trends and paradigm shifts in this area of research, tackling subjects such as the internet of things, cloud computing, big data analytics and digital twin. Research gaps include the lack of data automation and the absence of a common architecture for systems integration. However, from a general perspective of the BP, the management of experimental data is suggested as a research opportunity for future works. Although many studies have tackled data and collaboration based on computer-aided technologies environments, no study examined the management of the measured data collected during the verification and validation stages of a product. Originality/value This work provides a fresh and relevant source of authors, journals and studies for researchers and practitioners interested in the domain of data management applied to NPD and collaborative engineering.
