ASSEMBLY LINE BALANCING IMPLEMENTATION IN MINOR AND SUB ASSEMBLY WORK SHOP AT SHIPYARDS

Recently, the competitive environment is very tough in shipbuilding industry and under these circumstances, manufacturing a ship in a shorter time becomes significantly important in order to meet the customer demands. Therefore, it is hard to do that by using traditional manufacturing techniques. The shipyards located in Turkey usually have functional locations for the machines and this situation often causes longer production times. Instead of this, assembly lines should be redesigned as workshops in the shipyard. Prefabrication work unit is a good example in which an assembly line is needed to be designed. In this study, an assembly line design for prefabrication work unit was performed. For this, assignments of work operations to work shops were carried out by using Largest Set Rule Algorithm and some alternatives were created according to compare the different values of cycle time. These alternatives were simulated by using a production simulation program and the most appropriate assembly line design was presented.

WORK ANALYSIS OF PLATE BENDING WORKSHOP IN SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY

Plate bending is one of the major processes in shipbuilding. The plates which are cut in specific dimensions are sent to plate bending work shop and they are curved by using various methods. These curved plates constitute bilge turn plates of a vessel which are curvilinear. In this study, plate bending work shop was considered and its simulation model was created by using SIMIO software. The aim of the study is to see the effects of some alterations on available situation of plate bending work shop and present some recommendations in order for the plate bending work shop to operate effectively. In this work, there are number of four alterations including the changing of bending processing time, number of cranes and bending machine. At the end of the study, the values of the most suitable crane number, bending machine number, and the bending operation processing time were recommended. It is believed that the plate bending work shop will operate in effective way if the shipyard administration implement the recommendations presented in this study.

Investigating the Use of Active Transportation Modes Among University Employees Through an Advanced Decision Tree Algorithm

Now more than ever, the health and economic benefits of active transportation (AT) are evident and several planning efforts and programs are particularly targeted at improving active transportation options for different populations, such as students and seniors. Administrative employees at universities received less attention in the literature than other population groups.This population spends a lot of time doing sedentary activities and behaviors during their working time. Thus, the present study used a C5 decision tree to examine the usage of university employees’ AT modes when they are out of campus to get to work, shopping, and leisure. The effects of the sociodemographic and living environment of employees on their AT mode choice were also examined. According to the results, walking was the most frequently used mode to get to work and leisure and public transport was the most frequently used mode to get to shopping. Transit station conditions (25), sidewalk availability and coverage (36), and bike path availability and coverage (30) were the most important factors in the use of AT modes by employees to get to work, shop, and leisure, respectively. Furthermore, several decision rules were extracted from the C5 tree, which included combinations of multiple factors.KEYWORDS: Active transportation, mode choice, university employees, trip purposes, C5

A Model for Global Governance of Platforms

Digital platforms such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and a more recent entrant, Zoom, have provided core societal functions that have enabled us to work, shop, educate ourselves and our children, run businesses, maintain social contact, and receive and disseminate information. At the same time, the uses of these technologies have led to elevated concerns in areas such as surveillance, cyber risks, democracy, public health, competition and monopoly power, and economic prosperity. Current governance arrangements are incoherent and fragmented nationally and internationally—where they even exist. At the same time, they typically reflect vested state and corporate interests that can be very difficult to challenge. The way forward is to create a new institution for the digital realm: a Digital Stability Board (DSB) that would be a multi-stakeholder forum with a remit to create global governance for big data, AI, and the digital platforms, while allowing national variation to reflect different values and cultures while avoiding a race to the bottom in governance. Taking concerted and coordinated action on global governance under a structure such as a DSB will help to ensure that the benefits of the platforms are magnified, and the risks minimized individually and globally.

Answer-Set Programming for Lexicographical Makespan Optimisation in Parallel Machine Scheduling

We deal with a challenging scheduling problem on parallel-machines with sequence-dependent setup times and release dates from a real-world application of semiconductor work-shop production. There, jobs can only be processed by dedicated machines, thus few machines can determine the makespan almost regardless of how jobs are scheduled on the remaining ones. This causes problems when machines fail and jobs need to be rescheduled. Instead of optimising only the makespan, we put the individual machine spans in non-ascending order and lexicographically minimise the resulting tuples. This achieves that all machines complete as early as possible and increases the robustness of the schedule. We study the application of Answer-Set Programming (ASP) to solve this problem. While ASP eases modelling, the combination of timing constraints and the considered objective function challenges current solving technology. The former issue is addressed by using an extension of ASP by difference logic. For the latter, we devise different algorithms that use multi-shot solving. To tackle industrial-sized instances, we study different approximations and heuristics. Our experimental results show that ASP is indeed a promising KRR paradigm for this problem and is competitive with state-of-the-art CP and MIP solvers.

Improving Puskesmas Staff Competency Through Office Application Workshop At Puskesmas Selindung

Puskesmas is a health service facility that organizes public health efforts and first-level individual health efforts, service agencies that provide services to the community, really need the speed of information services so that they can provide optimal services to the community. To provide optimal and maximum service to the community, the puskesmas needs to increase the competence of the staff at the puskesmas by conducting office application workshops for their staff. For the puskesmas staff in Selindung, there are already some who know how to use office applications such as word, excel and powerpoint. But in detail in the use and utilization of office applications in more detail, they still do not understand and are not optimal. This is what makes the author and the team collaborate with the Puskesmas Selindung to carry out a work shop for office applications for puskesmas staff. The purpose of this workshop is to increase the competence of Pusekesma staff in the use and use of computers, especially in office applications, including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint. Because these three applications are often used for data and information needs managed by the Selindung health center. The method used in this activity is a workshop and training model. That is by conducting lectures or giving material, and directly practised

Student Practice In 3D Design and Printing for Promoting Analytical and Applied Mathematical Thinking Skills

The educational literature emphasizes the key role of analytical thinking (AT) and applied mathematical skills (AMS) in solving engineering prob-lems and calls to nurture these skills in school STEM education. This study proposes and explores a strategy for fostering AT and AMS among middle school students and prospective teachers through practice in digital design and 3D printing. The study involved 32 seventh grade students and five prospective teachers of technology. Both groups learned a 10-hour work-shop, “Make a spinning-top.” The participants designed spinning-tops that can fit into a Kinder Surprise egg and analysed their geometric and mechani-cal properties. We collected data from students’ worksheets, their designed artefacts, and in-class discussions. The results indicated that the assignment prompted the participants to apply AT and AMS. School students designed complex models, inquired into their geometry, and verified their designs through 3D printing. The worksheets were found to be an effective tool to frame and guide students’ thinking in the design tasks and the creation and testing of mathematical models. For the prospective teachers, the workshop, accompanied by lectures on the methodology of experiential learning, ena-bled to implement mathematical solutions in designs and develop instruc-tional units on the subject.

How to build capacity to best use good/best practice

In the Netherlands the best practice portals contains approximately 325 best and good practices with different levels of recognition (well described, theoretically sound and effective). Evaluations of the portal (2013 and 2018) show that the portal is well appreciated by professionals of municipal health services and stakeholders but the uptake of best practices can be improved. An implementation study (2014) to the uptake of interventions revealed that the RIVM had to work on dissemination strategies for policymakers, capacity building implementing best practices by professionals and incentive strategies for both groups. In this presentation the focus is on the capacity building of professionals. In order to support professionals and policymakers with evidence-based decision making the RIVM developed the online Manual Healthy Municipality, Healthy School and Healthy Kindergarten. In the manuals overviews of best practices are presented per theme (e.g. smoking), target group (e.g. elderly) or setting (e.g. neighbourhood) in combination with tools and instruments for intersectoral collaboration, citizens involvement and monitoring and evaluation. These manuals are well known and combine process information (how) with product information (what: effective programs and what works overviews). The implementation study showed also that professionals would like to have more support in the form of workshops and masterclasses. In order to get this the RIVM organizes workshops how to describe an intervention for recognition and how to adapt an intervention. The assumption that a recognized can't adapted to the local contexts was one of the inhibiting factors of the implementation of best practices. To ensure that the adjustments are made properly we have developed a checklist for the adaptation of interventions which is the base of the workshop. Professionals can also ask for a tailored work shop for example how to create support for the use of best practices.
