Planning a Vietnamese Lunch Buffet Menu for a Finnish Restaurant: Case Sulo Restaurant
No full textThere have been studies on Vietnamese dishes or Vietnamese restaurants in Finland; however, there is no specific research in Kajaani about Vietnamese cuisine, especially applying Vietnamese dishes into a Finnish restaurant's menu. The choice of topic was based on personal interest in the restaurant business operation and menu creation. The author hopes that the thesis will contribute to the development of the restaurant industry in Kajaani becoming more diverse.
During the process, the author used results from previous studies as a resource for this research. The main goal of the thesis was to develop a lunch buffet menu for Sulo by adding Vietnamese food during the timeframe from November 2019 to November 2020. The thesis consists of a theoretical background related to the food culture of Vietnam and Finland, product development, menu planning. Respondents of the survey were 154 customers who visited Sulo restaurant for three days in September 2020. A combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods was used through interviews and surveys among Sulo's staff and customers to collect in-depth information for the idea to design the new menu.
As a result of the thesis, many customers expected that Vietnamese food would be served by Sulo restaurant monthly. Also, four suggested menus have been selected by the author, which have to be useful and suitable in accordance with all the rules and regulations of the Sulo restaurant. The research paper has answered the research questions, although there are some limitations. The author wishes to have the opportunity to continue the studies, or an-other student interested in the topic might implement the suggested menu at Sulo to get accurate feedback from customers on Vietnamese food

Managing the impact and changes caused by Covid-19 crisis based on Company X
No full textKäesolevas töös on analüüsitud Ettevõtte X võtmemõõdikute põhjal COVID-19 pandeemia mõju ettevõtte osakonna tööle. Vaatluse all oli ajavahemik 2019‒2023, millest ülemaailmne pandeemia oli aastatel 2020‒2022. Analüüsi tulemusel leiti, et koroonapandeemia tõi kaasa negatiivse mõju, kuid kättesaadavate andmete põhjal ei olnud võimalik analüüsida, kas rakendatud tegevuste mõju saavutas eesmärki või mitte. Seega tehti ettevõtte töö parendamiseks ja häiretest tingitud olukorras tulemuslikkuse tõstmiseks ettepanekud mh kirjalikest allikatest leitud teiste ettevõtete kogemuste põhjal.
Esimeses osas esitati ülevaade COVID-19 viirusest, ülemaailmsest pandeemiast ja selle mõjust ühiskonnale ja töökorraldusele. Riikide valitsused rakendasid viiruse leviku tõkestamiseks erakordseid piiranguid ning meetmeid, majandus ja ettevõtjad pidid kohanema teenustelt toodetele muutunud tarbimisharjumustega, mis oli osaliselt aluseks süvenenud kriisile töötlevas tööstuses, kus nõudlus ületas pakkumust ja tekkisid komponentide tarneraskused. Paljud tootmises kasutatavad komponendid pärinesid koroonaviirusest enam mõjutatud Hiinast, mis oli ühtlasi ka viiruse leviku lähtepunktiks. Juba enne koroonapandeemiat oli suund tarneahelate lihtsustumise ja lühenemisele, viiruse kriis kiirendas seda trendi tuua tootmine tagasi lähipiirkonda või kodumaale, Aasiast tagasi Euroopasse. Kuigi mõned protsessid võivad pärast kriisi taanduda, siis osad kriisi mõjud on tõenäoliselt püsivad.
Töö teises osas uuris autor ettevõtete näitel teoreetilisi kogemusi, kuidas pandeemia algusaegadel tuldi toime tarneahelast tingitud olukordadega, kui tootmisvõimekus oli piiratud ja ebastabiilne ning logistilised väljakutsed süvendasid ebakindlust pandeemias, millel lõppu ei paistnud olevat. Leidus avalikel allikatel põhinevaid lahendusi, kus esmatähtis oli proaktiivsus ja tsentraliseeritud koordineerimine.
Töö kolmandas osas anti ülevaade ettevõtte X tegevusest, Covidiga toimetuleku meetmed, struktuurist ja pandeemia aegsetest tarneraskustest. Ettevõte tegeleb projektipõhise tootmisega, tooteid valmistatakse ning teenuseid osutatakse vastavalt kliendi tellimusele.
Töö neljandas osas anti ülevaade mõõdikute kasutamisest üldiselt, kirjeldati ja analüüsiti 2019‒2023 aastatel Ettevõtte X osakonnas kasutusel olnud võtmemõõdikuid. Töö autor leidis, et kriisi ajal 2020 ‒ 2022 aastatel olid enim mõjutatud kliendi halduse ja planeerimiseosakonna tulemused, kus 69% mõõdiku tulemustest olid halvenenud ning ostu osakond, kus tulemus oli pisut parem. Peamisteks põhjusteks toodi välja pikenenud tarneaegu, hilinevaid tarneid ning tarnitavate toodete kvaliteeti. Analüüsi tulemus viitas süvenenud probleemidele, kus 2021. aastal oli 77% kõikidest rakendatud mõõdikute tulemused halvenenud. Võrreldes varasema perioodiga ehk 2020. aastaga oli enim mõjutatud „tulu ja kulu tasakaalu näitaja“ mõõdik, mille tulemus varsemaga halvenes ligikaudu 3 korda, mõõdiku „testjaamade tarne aeg“ tulemus halvenes 19 punkti ning „järel müügi tarne täpsus“ langes 29% võrra. Alates aastast 2020 on näha kolme fookusgrupi: Klient, Töötaja ja Sidususgrupp mõõdikute jaotuses muutust. Üha rohkem rakendatakse Kliendi suunal mõõdikuid, mis viitab uutele või kohandatud strateegilistele eesmärkide, mis on ühtlasi aluseks rakendatud mõõdikutele.
Töö viiendas osas tõi autor välja muutuste juhtimise tähtsuse. See on pidev protsess ja oluline osa organisatsiooni edukusest. Edukate muutuste aluseks on kaasamine, avatud suhtlemine ja pidev areng. Samuti toodi välja muudatuste sisseviimisega seotud probleeme.
Ettevõtte X osakonna töö korraldamiseks ja tulevaste võimalike kriisidega paremaks toimetulekuks esitati lõputöö viimases osas järeldused ja ettepanekud, milleks on kasutatavate mõõdikute täpsem põhjendus ja kirjeldus, töörühma moodustamine, materjalide soetamise strateegia jaoks vajalike tootmismaterjalide grupeerimine olulisuse ja koguste/mahu järgi.The before paper is written in Estonian, where the topic of it is: „Managing the impact and changes caused by Covid-19 crisis based on Company X” to which the author examined the nature and impact of COVID- 19, while also exploring the measures taken by leading organizations to control the virus's spread. The study also explored the theoretical experiences of companies in dealing with supply chain-related issues during the pandemic's early stages.
The analysis is based on departments of key performance indicators between the years of 2019 - 2023, which were used to evaluate their experiences. The analyses showed a noteworthy impact on several metrics which were driven by: customer management and planning, purchasing and quality teams. The study highlights the need to improve material management to which the author has made several proposals to consider and highlights change management as an important aspects of organizational success
Marine biomimicry through computational design
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALEQuesto documento si concentrerà sulla possibilità di integrare in futuro la natura e la biologia nel processo di progettazione architettonica, un campo già noto come biomimetismo, utilizzato da tempo nella progettazione di molti prodotti diversi. Poiché l'applicazione degli insegnamenti della natura può portare alla creazione di strategie e tecnologie più sane e sostenibili, la ricerca cercherà di stabilire un esempio di metodologia per designer e architetti per integrare il biomimetismo nel processo di progettazione architettonica. Janine Benyus, autrice del libro "Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature", ha definito il biomimetismo come "l'emulazione consapevole del genio della vita". Il documento utilizzerà questa prospettiva come lettura intenzionale e applicazione dei sistemi e delle soluzioni esistenti nella natura, molto più avanzati, che possono notevolmente migliorare le idee e le performance dei designer.
Entrando nella discussione di una metodologia di progettazione universale che potrebbe essere utilizzata dagli ambienti più comuni a quelli più estremi, il lavoro di ricerca si concentrerà sugli esseri viventi che esistono in un ambiente con condizioni di vita estreme, come il mondo sottomarino. Studiare come le creature possano affrontare o trarre beneficio da queste condizioni estreme può portare a ispirazioni significative per il design in luoghi all'interno o all'esterno del pianeta Terra. Esplorare anche solo una frazione di questo mondo potrebbe portare a molte intuizioni su come questi organismi e sistemi possano fornire soluzioni per elementi di design molto interessanti, tra cui pressione, radiazioni, resistenza dei materiali, rigenerazione e altro. Utilizzando il design computazionale come strumento in grado di raggiungere la complessità dei sistemi e dei processi viventi, il documento concluderà anche con l'applicazione della metodologia proposta attraverso un progetto architettonico. Il progetto dimostrerà i metodi proposti nella ricerca e cercherà di fornire soluzioni per alcuni dei problemi scelti che sorgono in una determinata località. Con l'obiettivo di un processo che sfida le norme, il progetto sarà immaginato come una delle prime strutture per l'abitazione sul pianeta Marte, come possibile precedente per altri progetti architettonici in condizioni estreme esistenti sulla Terra.This paper will focus on a possibility of future integration of nature and biology in the design process of architecture, a field already known as biomimicry, which has been long used in the design field for many different products. As the practice of applying lessons from nature can lead to the invention of healthier, more sustainable strategies and technologies, the research will seek to establish an example of a methodology for designers and architects to integrate biomimicry in the process of architectural design. Janine Benyus, author of the book “Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature”, has defined biomimicry as the “conscious emulation of life’s genius.” The paper will use this view as an intentional reading and application of existing systems and solutions found in nature that are far more advanced and that can tremendously elevate designers ideas and performance. Entering the discussion of a universal design methodology that could be used from the more common to the more extreme environments the research paper will be focused on living beings that exist on a environment that in itself has extreme life conditions, which is the underwater world. Studying how creatures can cope or benefit from these extreme conditions, can bring significant inspiration to design in places inside or outside planet Earth. Exploring just a fraction of the realm could bring many insights on how these organisms and systems can provide solutions for very interesting design elements, including pressure, radiation, material durability, regeneration and more. Using computational design as a tool which can achieve the complexity of living systems and processes, the paper will also conclude on an application of the proposed methodology through an architectural project. The project will demonstrate the methods proposed in the research and try to provide solutions for some of the chosen issues that arise in a chosen location. With the goal of a process that challenges the norms, the project will be imagined as one of the first structures for habitation in the planet Mars, as a possible precedent for other architectural projects in existing extreme conditions on Earth
