Applying project management principles to avoid cost overruns at pt edn
No full textAbstract. Today, Infrastructure development in Indonesia is developing. Indonesia is lagging behind in infrastructure, this causes our country to determine high domestic prices because of its complicated and expensive infrastructure. Impressive infrastructure development in the country will improve the economy of the surrounding community. So the community has the opportunity to sell or deliver goods or expand the business at a relatively lower price than before. PT EDN is a contractor company in a toll road infrastructure industry, the scope of work PT EDN's includes on Cut & Fill and Supply Materials. PT EDN obtained a contract from one of the main contractors as a subcontractor to run the Bogor - Ciawi - Sukabumi Toll Road Project. The methodology of this research was conducted by gathering information about what happened in doing and the results obtained in the BOCIMI project, and this study using a qualitative research method by conducting interviews with stakeholders in the BOCIMI project. While working on the project, many obstacles occur, including planning and making budgets, managing cash flows, and controlling the project. After conducting interviews and data collection, problems arise at PT EDN due to not having an integrated system between one business process and other business processes. Therefore, project management is needed to add value when working on a project, so that operations in the project can works well and can improve the performance of PT EDN. The purpose of this study is to find and identify the cause of cost overruns such as internal and external factors, and to avoid cost overruns in project implementation by applying project management principles. Moreover, the results of the recommendations obtained from this discussion and research for PT EDN are to to applying change management to deal with the change of design by the main contractor, applying risk mitigation, applying project planning management methods and project control management, applying control cost method that can see the cost performance, and develop human resources, with enhanced team collaboration in the project. With these recommendations, it is expected to be a guideline in conducting effective project management with the aim of gaining profit according to the targetKeywords:, Project Management, Project Cost Management, Cost Overrun
Implementation of total productive maintenance in pt. Ip lontar
No full textAbstract. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a maintenance program which concentrates on total involvement of everyone from top management to all employees in the organization. TPM practice a maintenance program by doing training, Autonomous Maintenance and 5S (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain). This program expect to the result in maximum Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), tidier, neat, clean work place and morally boosted employees. This research was compiled based on qualitative methods by conducting interviews with top management, middle management in the company and customer. In-depth interviews were conducted to explore how the opinions of respondents regarding the implementation of total productive maintenance. From the results of interviews and literature studies, There are four recommendation that propose to PT IP Lontar for successful of TPM Implementation. Establish TPM Implementation team, OEE of equipment become employees KPI, Communication and promotion about TPM activity, and People development. In the end, if total productive maintenance has been implemented effectively, the company can reduce cost of maintenance and improve reliability of each equipment because it has a strong foundation in the form of structured maintenance system.Keywords: derating, total productive maintenance, employee involvement, OE
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
