RPA Vendor Evaluation and Selection using AHP and Kano Model

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) as a technology has gained momentum due to the onset of Industry 4.0. RPA is considered to be the simplest forms of automation in which, typically, the human actions are mimicked without taking into account the complex judgements associated with it. Hence, RPA is deemed fit for the rule-based tasks which are highly repetitive, bulky and are error-prone. Traditionally, organizations looking to increase its operations efficiency improve workforce utilisation, turn to RPA. With the shift in working pattern enforced by COVID-19, RPA adoption is no more a luxury, but a necessity. In a short span of time, the number of RPA vendors, that is the developers and providers of RPA software have significantly increased and due to current demands of RPA, it is expected to grow further. This increase in choices makes the vendor selection part of any RPA Implementation Project highly complex and confusing. Keeping in mind the significance of the vendor selection process, various methods of RPA Vendor Selection have been previously proposed but it is still evolving along with the changing needs of the Businesses. This Research paper aims to propose a standard model using Kano Model and Analytic Hierarch Process (AHP) such that it can be customized during each new RPA implementation project without compromising on the basic structure and method for evaluation.

RATIONAL ORGANIZATIONAL-TECHNOLOGICAL DECISIONS OF ADDITION OF 5-STORE FLOOR RESIDENTIAL HOUSES OF SERIES 1-510 / 5

The reconstruction of large-block buildings of mass development is a strategic direction in solving urban planning problems of dilapidated housing, which will improve the comfort of living of residents of buildings and their energy efficiency, improve the architectural and aesthetic appearance, extend the life cycle of buildings, as well as increase the area for people to live. Reconstruction can be carried out by the addition of attic floors, which will increase the total living area of the house with a different layout and configuration of the premises. The reconstruction method using the combined load-bearing frame of the attic floor from rolled steel structures and lightweight thin-walled structures, according to technical and economic calculations, is the most effective and appropriate, as it allows due to the typical development of these objects, as well as the existing reserve of the bearing capacity of structures and building elements , including the bases and foundations, to implement this technology for the reconstruction of buildings, while significantly reducing investment, labor completed work and construction deadlines.

Blockchain technology in the international supply chains

The relevance of the study is that globalization and the integration of the international economy provide excellent opportunities for economic development through international trade and investment. It is necessary to make the product and services more competitive. One of the factors determining the competitiveness of trade is how quickly and how economically the goods can be delivered. The competition in the logistics industry is continually growing, which forces participants to improve their efficiency, improve quality and reduce costs. In these conditions effective IT solutions are vital tools for logistics and the ability to manage the logistics processes in the business environment in the context of globalization is a factor of competitiveness. Within the framework of this paper, the existing business processes of cargo delivery were described. The study of the process of interaction of international supply chain participants made it possible to identify the ineffectiveness of existing processes to understand what can be replaced and corrected with the introduction of blockchain technology. The main reason of inefficiency is the low level of business processes digitalization. The cases of existing blockchain projects for the logistics industry were investigated. The article provides possible cases of using blockchain for the logistics industry.
