Designing Information System To Support Business Process Improvement In A Small-Mid Size Bottled Drinking Water Industry
Full text linkDue to inefficiencies of the business processes in small-mid size of bottled drinking water industries,
it is necessary to improve them. The improvements are carried out in business processes of production,
warehouse, delivery, marketing, and finance departments. The main causes of the inefficiencies are the
inefficiencies of the business process itself and that the business processes of those departments were not
integrated. This paper is concerned with designing information system to support for the integration of those
departments. First, we mapped the business process of each department using flow diagram. Then analyze the
inefficiencies of each department. Next, we redesign the business processes and standardize them. The next step
is integrating the business processes by designing the information system. We design the information system
modular. The modules are marketing module, production module, logistic module and finance module. Data
Flow Diagram (DFD) is used to model the system. Relational database management system (RDBMS) is used
to design the database. User interfaces are built to ease in using the program application. The outputs of the
information system are reports and documents in monitor screen view and in printing. The validation showed
that the information system designed can support the business process improvements.

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
Penentuan Alokasi Buffer untuk Meningkatkan Performansi Lini Produksi (Studi Kasus di PT. General Electric Lighting Indonesia)
Full text linkPT. GE Lighting Indonesia is a manufacturing company that producing lamp. In generally, PT. GE Lighting Indonesia's producing line consist of 5 machines with buffer allocation storage between machine that have early capacity of buffer= 1225 units, buffer2= 915 units, buffer3= 820 units, and buffer4= 545 units. The allocation of these buffer is definitely done with purpose to place output from machine before processed to the next machine. Time difference process in every machine make the stream of production process become less fluent and affecting less maximal is machine damage factor. although the preventive maintenance policy is applied in PT. GE Lighting Indonesia remain to be the machine damage cannot be obviated at production process take place.
This research will try to redetermine the buffer allocation in PT. GE Lighting Indonesia in order to make the production process more fluent, so that can increase the throughput in production line. The method that is use to redetermine the buffer allocation is simulation approach. The reason why the author use this method is because there wasn't found a representative and valid analytical model that match with the system. The simulation is done with Promodel 4.0 software.
Based on the experiment design and running of simulation, it's achieved a conclusion that the best alternative buffer capacity is at 900 units ( buffer1, buffer2, buffer3, buffer4 has a same capacity at 900 units) with aveerage throughput at 9.651 unit/shift. While in the early buffer capacity only produce as many as 9207 unit/shift. Finally, if it's compared with the early condition, redetermining the buffer allocation can increase the throughput of production line process equal to 444 units/shift
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
ANALISIS BEBAN KERJA UNTUK MENENTUKAN JUMLAH KARYAWAN OPTIMAL PADA BAGIAN OPERASI SARANA PENYELENGGARAAN DIKLAT KILANG PPSDM MIGAS
Full text linkPPSDM Migas is a company engaged in oil and gas. One factor that must be considered by the company is the distribution of workload to employees so that the effectiveness and efficiency of employees can be reached. The fact in the field, PPSDM Migas has just transferred its employees to PPSDM Jakarta, so there is a discrepancy between workload and number of employees. To overcome the problem of measuring workloads in PPSDM Migas, this study uses a task per task approach. This method will provide information about the allocation of employee human resources to complete the existing workload optimally. Based on the results of the workload measurement on PPSDM Migas using the task per task approach it can be concluded that from the two positions as a pilot project there was one position which resulted in a mismatch between the workload and the number of office holders, namely 4 Tank employees and Distribution but from the calculation results it takes 7 employees. The position of Executor of Distillation Operations has the number of employees as many as 2 employees and from the results of the calculation required 2 employees, this shows the suitability between the number of employees and the workload on the position. Based on the results of calculations from both positions, the position of Implementing Distillation Operations is included in the category of sufficient office efficiency. Whereas in the position of Implementing Tank and Distribution Installation get the medium category
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
