Building a production strategy in connection with technological changes on the example of the micro-enterprise Devas OÜ
No full textPäris olulist rolli mängivad väiksemad ettevõtted majanduses ja ühiskonnas. Kuid selles
ettevõttede tüübis on olemas omad eelised ja puudused, neil jääb peamiseks raskuseks
tekkitavad nende jaoks piirangud seoses mitmete faktoriga nagu: finants tööaeg, tööjõud.
Seoses selliste faktoritega väiksemad ettevõtted ei saa paindlikult muuta strateegiat,
tehnoloogiat või tervikliku töökorraldust. Siin on olemas põhiline väikeste ettevõttede
paradoks – suur olulisus majanduse korralduses, kuid suhteline paindliku puudus.
Sarnane juhtum on toimunud ettevõttel Devas OÜ, kus soovitati muuta tehnoloogiat
niimoodi, et poleks vajadust rakendada kallimaid seadmeid, vaid parendades
tootmisprotsesse. Devas OÜ ettevõttes loodeti tehnoloogia muudatust, mis on võimas
parendada tootmisprotsesse. Ettevõtte soov lõputöö autorile oli püstitud ülesaane: luua
tootmisstrateegia kavandit, mis oleks abivahendiks rakendates uut tehnoloogia
tootmiseprotsessidesse edaspidi niimoodi, et see mõjutaks ettevõtte jäätkusuutlikule.
Antud lõputöö peamiseks eesmärgiks on luua tootmisstrateegia kavandit, mis mõjutab
ettevõtte edaspidi jäätkusuutlikusele ja parima tehnoloogia rakendamisele.
Antud lõputöö hõlmas kaks peammist osa: teoreetilist osa ning empiirilist osa.
Teoreetilises osas olid vaadatud ja teoreetiliselt analüüsitud järgmised küsimused:
• Mis on mikroettevõtte ja mis on väikeste suurusega ettevõttetel on kitsaskoht?
• Mis on mikroettevõttette ulatus Eestis?
• Millised on põhimõtted turu ja tehnoloogia trendide analüüsimise jaoks?
• Millised on põhimõtted finantsi ja strateegilise eesmärki püstitamiseks?
• Millised kompetentse vaja selleks, et töötaja oleks võimas täita strateegilise
eesmäke?
Uurimismeetodiks oli valitud juhtumisuuringu meetod, mis annab võimalust analüüsida
olemasolevat muutust ning rakendada saadud andmed uutesse protsessidesse.
Empiiriline osa hõlmab enda sees järgmised teemad:
• Ettevõtte üldtutvustust, kütte-, ventilatsiooni- ja kliimaseade paigaldamise
segmendi turul ülevaade ja ettevõtte ärimudeli ülevaatlus
• Eesmärkide püstitamine
• Sisemiste muutuste ülevaatlus, mis on muutunud, mis on juhtunud
• Mis olid oodatavad tulemused enne muudatust ja millised on tegelikud muutused
• Tootmisstrateegia kavandi ülesehitus
Tootmisstrateegia kavand oli ehitatud ja fookuses olid tehtud järgmistes segmetides: uue
tehnoloogia rakendamine; kvaliteedikontrolli süsteemi parendamine; tootmiskulude
juhtimine ning kokkuhoid; turuosa laiendamine ning klientide rahuolutase kõrgendamine.
Lõputöö pakub väärtuslikke teoreetilisi ning praktilisi teadmisi ning soovitusi, mida Devas
OÜ või sarnased ettevõtted võiksid kasutada, et parendada mikroettevõtte tööprotessid
suurendades lõpptoodangukvaliteeditaset samuti olles jäätkusuutlikuid riigi raamedes
pakkudes oma lahendusi Eesti arengule.A pretty important role is played by smaller companies in the economy and society. But in
this type of enterprises there are their own advantages and disadvantages, the main
difficulty for them remains the emergence of restrictions for them in relation to a number
of factors such as: financial working hours, labor. Due to such factors, smaller companies
cannot flexibly change strategy, technology or holistic work organisation. There is a
fundamental paradox of small businesses here – great importance in the organisation of
the economy, but a relative lack of flexibility.
A similar case has occurred at the company Devas OÜ, where it was recommended to
change the technology in such a way that there would be no need to implement more
expensive equipment, but to improve production processes. The Devas OÜ company hoped
for a change in technology that is powerful to improve production processes. The
company's wish for the author of the thesis was to create a draft production strategy that
would be an aid in applying the new technology to production processes in such a way that
it would affect the company's ice production.
The main goal of this thesis is to create a draft production strategy that will affect the
company's future sustainability and the application of the best technology.
This thesis covered two main parts: the theoretical part and the empirical part.
In the theoretical part, the following questions were considered and theoretically analyzed:
• What is a microenterprise and what is a bottleneck for small sized enterprises?
• What is the scope of microenterprises in Estonia?
• What are the principles for analyzing market and technology trends?
• What are the principles for setting a financial and strategic goal?
• What competencies are needed for an employee to be able to perform strategic
challenges?
The research method was the chosen case study method, which provides an opportunity
to analyze the existing change, as well as to apply the obtained data to new processes.
The empirical part covers within itself the following topics:
• General introduction of the company, market overview of the heating, ventilation and
air conditioning installation segment and review of the company's business model
• Setting goals
• Review of internal changes that have changed, what has happened
• What were the expected results before the change and what are the actual changes
• Structure of the draft production strategy
The design of the production strategy was built and the focus was on the following
segments: the implementation of new technology; improvement of the quality control
system; management of production costs, as well as savings; expanding market share
and increasing customer satisfaction.
The thesis offers valuable theoretical and practical knowledge and recommendations that
Devas OÜ or similar companies could use to improve the work processes of a micro-enterprise by increasing the quality level of the final product as well as being sustainable within the framework of the state by offering their own solutions for the development of
Estonia

Caracterização geológica-estrutural da região aurífera de Santa Rita (Jeroaquara), norte do Greenstone Belt de Faina (GO)
No full textThe Faina Greenstone Belt (FGB) is a NW-SE/SW (strike/dip), 50 km length and 6 km outward width structure, located in the Goiás Archean Block, a Granite-Greenstone terrain inserted in the Inner Brasilia Fold Belt, central Brazil. The Goiás Archean Block hosts five Greenstone Belts Terrains (Crixás, Guarinos, Pilar, Serra de Santa Rita and Faina), the first three host proved gold deposits that are currently exploited, whilst Santa Rita and Faina remain under explored. Despite being under surveyed the FGB shows many vestiges of past gold exploitation, such as various shaft works from Brazilian colonial period, such those of Cascavel Project, and more recent activities such as the disabled Sertão Mine. Orinoco Gold is currently the main player in the mineral surveying in the area; this final academic work was developed by the author during a trainee period at the exploration company. The work was a detailed (1:10.000) geological and structural mapping of a 40 km2 area in the north portion of the FGB, westwards of Santa Rita (Jeroaquara) village. The interest in this region goes by the fact that it was registered significant gold, silver, chromium and copper grades by chip sampling and whole rock analysis in this area. Also, the area is just southwards of Eliseu Target (in the same structural trend), where whole rock analysis and drilling core showed important gold occurrences. The work allowed delineating a complex stratigraphic and structural setting for this portion of the FGB. The rocks of the area are structured as four tectonic domains separated by major NW-SE/SW (strike/dipdir), NE vergence thrust faults. In the studied area these faults cause significant tectonic truncations that dictate the outcrop pattern in this part of FGB. Also macroscopic folds mapped in the area, related to various deformational phases, influences in the rocks exposition in the area. The three upper domains coincide...O Greenstone Belt de Faina (GBF) é uma faixa de atitude NW-SE/SW (direção/rumo do mergulho), de 50 km de comprimento 6 km de largura em sua porção central, inserido no Bloco Arqueano de Goiás, um terreno Granito-Greenstone alojado na porção interna da Faixa Brasília. O Bloco Arqueano de Goiás abriga cinco faixas Greenstone Belt (Crixás, Guarinos, Pilar, Serra de Santa Rita e Faina), os três primeiros hospedam significativos depósitos provados de ouro, que são atualmente explorados, entretanto os Greenstone Belts de Santa Rita e Faina permanecem menos estudados. Apesar de ser menos prospectado, o Greenstone Belt de Faina mostra muitos vestígios de explorações antigas de ouro, tal como os garimpos do período colonial, tal como o Projeto Cascavel, e também evidências de atividades mais recentes, tal como a Mina Sertão, atualmente desativada. A Orinoco Gold é atualmente a principal empresa com atividades exploratórias na área; estre trabalho de conclusão de curso foi desenvolvido pelo autor enquanto esta realizada estágio na referida empresa. O trabalho realizado foi o mapeamento e caracterização geológica-estrutural de uma área de 40km2 na porção norte do GBF, a oeste da localidade de Santa Rita (Jeroaquara). O interesse nesta região se deu, pois foram obtidos teores significativos de ouro, prata, cromo e cobre em amostragem de chip e análise química de rocha total., e também pois se situa imediatamente a sul do Alvo Eliseu, onde foram identificadas importantes ocorrências de ouro através de amostras de chip e de furos de sonda. Este trabalho permitiu delinear o complexo quadro Tectono-estratigráfico desta porção do GBF. As rochas da área estão estruturadas na forma de quatro domínios lito tectônicos separados entre si por falhas de empurrão de primeira ordem, de atitude NW-SE, vergência para NE. Estas falhas de empurrão causam expressivos truncamentos..
Measurement of Economic Effectiveness of IS/ICT
No full textThe main goal of this thesis is to measure the economic effectiveness of the specific real IS/ICT based on real data, which were provide by the owner of the system. Next goal is to describe how to measure economic effectiveness of IS/ICT, especially based on costs and effects analysis. Complex information about economic effectiveness of IS/ICT issue and also costs and effects analysis of enterprise informatics are made up of knowledge gained by studying professional publications aimed to this and relative topics. Necessary data to measure the economic effectiveness of the chosen IS/ICT was gained by its owner. To reach the main goal, author chose a few commonly used financial indicators and proposed two other metrics. Based on calculations of these indicators and metrics, author estimated that the rated system is economically effective. Author forwarded the results of measurement to the owner of rated system, along with the comment of author. The contribution of this thesis is that shows the universal procedure of economic effectiveness measurement of IS/ITC in clear and complex structure. The thesis can be divided into two logical parts -- the theoretical one and practical one. In the theoretical part, author describes in standalone chapter possibilities in dividing of costs and its identification, severity of this act and also possible ways of the cost evidence. The next chapter speaks about effects of IS/ICT, where author also mention possibilities in dividing of effects, ways of their identification and measurement. This capture also put the accent especially on the hardness of their assignment. The last theoretical chapter imaginarily joins the antecedent chapters because describes a few financial indicators and metrics, suitable for measurement of economic effectiveness of IC/ICT. In that case, this capture speaks about usage data about costs and effects in measurement of economic effectiveness. One whole chapter is devoted to practical part of this thesis, in which author used all defined indicators and metrics from theoretical part and measured the economic effectiveness based on real data. Thus, author used the knowledge from theoretical part in the practical one. The part of measurement is also a discussion of the results
Measurement of Economic Effectiveness of IS/ICT
No full textHlavním cílem práce je provést měření ekonomické efektivnosti konkrétního IS/ICT zavedeného v praxi na základě reálných dat poskytnutých majitelem systému. Dalším cílem práce je teoreticky popsat způsob měření ekonomické efektivnosti informačních systémů, zejména na základě analýzy nákladů a efektů IS/ICT. Souhrnné informace o problematice měření ekonomické efektivnosti IS/ICT a analýzy nákladů a efektů podnikové informatiky jsou vytvořeny na základě poznatků získaných studiem odborné literatury na toto téma a témata podobná. Data potřebná pro provedení měření ekonomické efektivnosti konkrétního IS/ICT byla získána přímo od majitele systému. Pro dosažení hlavního cíle autor vybral několik běžně používaných finančních ukazatelů a navrhl dvě další metriky. Na základě výpočtů těchto ukazatelů a metrik autor usoudil, že hodnocený IS/ICT je efektivní, a společně s komentářem předal výsledky hodnocení majiteli systému. Přínosem práce je, že ukazuje obecný postup hodnocení ekonomické efektivnosti IS/ICT v jasné a přehledné struktuře. Práci je možné rozdělit na dva logické celky -- teoretickou a praktickou část. V teoretické části práce autor v samostatné kapitole popisuje možnosti členění nákladů a jejich identifikaci, náročnost takového úkonu a možnosti evidence nákladů. Následuje kapitola o efektech IS/ICT, kde autor rovněž hovoří o možnostech kategorizace, způsobech jejich identifikace a měření a klade důraz zejména na náročnost jejich zjištění. Poslední kapitola teoretické části pomyslně spojuje dvě předchozí, jelikož popisuje několik finančních ukazatelů a metrik vhodných pro hodnocení ekonomické efektivnosti IS/ICT. Tato kapitola tedy hovoří o tom, jak využít data o nákladech a efektech k samotnému měření ekonomické efektivnosti. Praktické části je věnována jedna kapitola, ve které autor použil všechny definované ukazatele a metriky z teoretické části a na základě reálných dat provedl měření ekonomické efektivnosti a aplikoval tak poznatky nabyté v teoretické části práce. Součástí měření nejsou jen výpočty ukazatelů a metrik, ale i diskuse výsledků měření.The main goal of this thesis is to measure the economic effectiveness of the specific real IS/ICT based on real data, which were provide by the owner of the system.

Interpolation of Level Sets for Equimeasurable Functions
No full textAbstractThe author proves a new theoretical property for the family of rearrangementsR(f) of a given measurable functionf. Given a finite number of equimeasurable functionsf1,…,fn∈R(f), it is possible to construct a family of equimeasurable functions (ηλ)λ∈[0,1]⊂R(f) which interpolates the functionsf1,…,fnin a convexlike way. However, as an application, this interpolation result yields a compact fixed point property

The paper gives an analysis of collecting practices in Olyka, further nationalization and
division of collections, the emergence and decline of public museum. Also, it is presented some comments on the
musealisation of cultural and natural heritage of the town.
The author believes that for actualization of cultural heritage it is more promising to musealize not just separate objects,
but all historical, cultural and natural environments including whole their movable, immovable, intangible objects and with
participation of local residents. Such approach could be fulfilled in the way of creation «environmental» museum or
ecomuseum. It should cover the entire historical territory of the town including the castle, historical and religious buildings,
necropolises, objects of nature
