Implementation of SAP in Kalev Factory, Sugar Candy Unit
No full textSelleks et tänapäeva tööstused suures konkurentsis ellu jääksid ning suudaksid kohaneda turu
muutustega on oluline väga täpselt jälgida kuluallikaid, et toota võimalikult efektiivselt. SAP
majandustarkvara pakub võimalust jälgida täpselt toote valmistamiseks kuluvat aega, tööjõu
ressurssi ning materjale. Tänu sellele on võimalik optimeerida protsesse ning ka laovarusid.
Uurimise ja analüüsi käigus otsiti vastuseid põhilistele uurimisküsimustele: kas
juurutusprotsess vastas üldistele uue majandustarkvara juurutuspõhimõtetele, millised olid
Suhkrukommi üksuse töötajate hirmud ning kas need ka realiseerusid ning kas
juurutusprotsess oli edukas või oleks saanud midagi teha teisiti.
Uue majandustarkvara juurutusprotsess Kalevi tehases vastas üldistele juurutuspõhimõtetele.
Kõik vajalikud etapid olid kaetud ning langesid kokku soovitusliku juurutusstruktuuriga.
Suhkurkommi üksuse töötajate kõige suuremateks hirmudeks olid hirm oma arvutikasutamise
oskuste pärast ning kardeti ka inglise keelset programmi. Lisaks toodi välja ka kartust uute
tööülesannete ees ning kardeti ka seda, et tavapäraste tööülesannete kõrvalt ei jää aega
arvutis vajalike liigutuste tegemiseks. Kardeti ka harjumuste muutmist, sest olles pikalt
töötanud ühe programmiga ja minnes üle teisele, on kõik liigutused vaja ümber õppida. Üle
poolte küsimustikule vastajatest hindas, et nende hirmud realiseerusid osaliselt ning 6 vastajat
arvasid, et nende hirmud ei osutunud tõeseks.
Juurutusprotsess oli edukas, sest ei toimunud ühtegi suurt seisakut ega möödapanekut
materjalide või planeerimise osas. Tootmistöötajad said kiiresti tootmist alustada ning kiiresti
oldi valmis üle minema saja protsendilisele tootmismahule. Ettepanekuteks oleks varuda õiged
seadmed uue majandustarkvara kasutuselevõtuks varemalt ning pöörata rohkem tähelepanu
masterdata andmete õigsusele, et juba harjutades saaksid töötajad kohaneda õigete
andmetega.The goal of this graduation thesis Implementation of SAP in Kalev factory, Sugar Candy unit
is to analyze if the implementation process went according to the new ERP implementation
strategies.
The research addresses the challenges that modern production companies face in an
increasingly competitive environment, highlighting the importance of an efficient ERP system
to reduce costs and optimize processes, including inventory management.
The decision to implement SAP was driven by Kalev’s need to align with other Orkla Group
companies and improve it’s operations.
The author has focused on three research questions:
• Did the implementation process go according to the new ERP implementation
recommendation?
• What did the people in Sugar Candy unit fear the most before the implementation of the
new system and did all their fears came true?
• Was the process successful and what could have been done differently?
As the shift leader in Sugar Candy unit, the author played a key role in leading the SAP
implementation. To better understand the concerns of the workers, a questionnaire was
distributed to the employees.
Chapter one is introductory and describes what is SAP ERP and what are the advantages of
having it.
Chapter two reviews the company Kalev and introduces the project SMART EST One which
was the project of implementing SAP.
Chapter three describes the implementation process in production and explains it more
thoroughly in Sugar Candy unit.
It was concluded that the implementation of SAP was successful, and it aligned with the
implementation strategies. There were no significant production disruptions, and all the
needed materials were provided within the reasonable time. Main fears for the workers in
Sugar Candy unit were fear of using computers as part of everyday work and, they were
concerned about the language of the program.
The author suggests that for future implementations, all the new equipment should be in place
before the system is launched. Also, it is important to check the data and make sure that it is
correct before the test system is made because then users can start practicing with the correct
data and improve the overall process
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
