Product development and modernization with a method of value analysis
Full text linkGlavna tema diplomskega dela je razvoj inovativnega in zložljivega pležuha. Za razvoj izdelka smo najprej analizirali trg in njegove ciljne skupine ter se nato lotili raziskave konkurence. Preučili smo teorijo vrednostne analize in jo v nadaljevanju uporabili v praktičnem delu naloge, kjer smo razvijali pležuh, ki se lahko zloži in ima vzmetenje. Analizirali smo funkcije in kriterije izdelka ter izbirali med variantnimi rešitvami. Pležuh smo v nadaljevanju skonstruirali v programu Solidworks. Na koncu smo z znanjem o ekonomiki projektov ocenili potencialne ekonomske učinke v primeru vstopa na trg z izdelkom.The main topic of the diploma work is the development of an innovative and foldable skibock. To develop the product, we first analyzed the market and its target groups and then made competition research. We studied the theory of value analysis and then used it in the practical part of the task, where we developed a skibock that can be folded and has a suspension. We analyzed the functions and criteria of the product and chose between variant solutions. Pležuh was constructed in the Solidworks program. Finally, with the knowledge of project economics, we assessed the potential economic effects in case of entering the product market
Production line optimization project with value stream analysis and other lean methods
No full textV magistrski nalogi smo raziskali teorijo vitke proizvodnje in se seznanili z njenimi orodji, ki jih uporabljajo v podjetjih za optimiziranje procesov. Orodje analiza toka vrednosti smo nato uporabili za analizo resnične proizvodnje v podjetju Geberit, kjer smo ustvarili načrt trenutnega stanja proizvodnje linije za izdelavo priključnih cevnih sistemov, opredelili problematične točke procesa in zanje predlagali rešitve. Ugotovili smo, da podjetje proizvaja cevne sisteme z izgubami, kot so vmesne zaloge, čezmerno proizvajanje in izgube zaradi gibanja izdelkov. Podjetju smo v načrtu želenega stanja toka vrednosti predlagali rešitve z uporabo kanban sistema in združevanjem delovnih procesov v celico.We have researched the theory of lean manufacturing and conducted a detailed review of the literature on a lean methodology tool called Value Stream Mapping (VSM). We then applied Value Stream Mapping to analyze the actual production at Geberit, where we developed a map for the current state of the production line for pipe systems, identified problematic process points, and proposed solutions for them. We found that the company was producing pipe systems with waste, such as work in process inventory, overproduction, and waste due to product movement. In the future state map of the value stream, we suggested solutions to the company using a "kanban" system and consolidating work processes into cells.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
