Priority Management of Fiber Suitcase Spare Part Warehouse Using 5S Method and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)
Full text linkThis research discusses the warehouse management of fiber luggage spare parts at PT Artlyn Kreasi Mandiri using the 5S method and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The problem that occurs is the messy arrangement of spare parts in the warehouse which results in losses due to damage to spare parts and makes it difficult for employees to do their jobs. Effective warehouse management is considered crucial in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of company operations. In this context, the 5S method is used to understand the qualitative aspects of warehouse management, while the AHP method is used for decision-making. The results on 5S indicate the need for improvement of warehouse working environment conditions to reduce spare part damage and increase operational efficiency. In addition, the application of the 5S concept in the warehouse is expected to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of spare parts warehouse management. The AHP calculation results provide weights for each criterion and alternative that support decision making. From the AHP calculation results, it can be concluded that moving to a new warehouse has a higher global weight (0.749) compared to optimizing the existing warehouse (0.251), so moving to a new warehouse is considered a more optimal warehousing strategy for the compan
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
Analisis Pemilihan Vendor Untuk Pembangunan IPAL Menggunakan Metode Simple Additive Weighting dan Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution Pada Manufaktur Valve Production
Full text linkPeningkatan kapasitas produksi pada perusahaan manufaktur valve production telah menyebabkan lonjakan volume limbah cair yang signifikan, sementara perusahaan belum memiliki Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah (IPAL) internal. Saat ini, perusahaan masih bergantung pada pihak ketiga dalam pengelolaan limbah cair B3 dengan biaya pengolahan yang cukup besar, yaitu sekitar US781 per bulan. Hal ini tentunya menimbulkan beban operasional yang terus meningkat dan menunjukkan urgensi untuk membangun IPAL sendiri sebagai langkah strategis untuk efisiensi biaya dan pemenuhan regulasi lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, pemilihan vendor IPAL yang tepat menjadi langkah penting guna memastikan pengolahan limbah dilakukan secara efektif, efisien, dan sesuai standar keberlanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan kriteria dan alternatif dalam proses pemilihan vendor IPAL serta menentukan prioritas vendor yang paling sesuai dengan kebutuhan perusahaan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) untuk menentukan bobot preferensi kriteria dan Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) untuk menyusun peringkat dari alternatif vendor. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi literatur, wawancara, dan penyebaran kuesioner kepada tiga responden utama yang memiliki peran dalam proses pengadaan, yaitu Procurement Supervisor, QHSE Supervisor, dan Head Production. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa aspek reputasi menjadi kriteria paling dominan dengan bobot 0,632, diikuti aspek teknis (0,546), administratif (0,465), keuangan (0,455), dan lingkungan (0,389). Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan dengan menggunakan metode TOPSIS, PT. Harum Tirta Jaya (A4) terpilih sebagai vendor terbaik yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan perusahaan, dengan nilai preferensi sebesar 0,637. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi referensi dalam pengambilan keputusan pemilihan vendor IPAL secara objektif, terukur, dan sesuai kebutuhan industri
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
Analysis of Coding Machine Purchase Decisions Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method
Full text linkThe increasing public awareness of taking medicines, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, has made the pharmaceutical industry grow very rapidly. Therefore, the company is trying to increase its production, so it needs to add a coding machine. The choice of machine has a long-term impact because it will be used to assist the production process in the next few years, so it is necessary to use a method that is able to solve problems involving the consideration of company leaders, namely the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The order of priority of the coding machine selection criteria is the ability to print codes (33.6%), maintenance and repair costs (29.6%), the convenience of spare parts, solvents or make-up. and ink (16.2%), price (12.5%), and ease of use (8.1%). Based on the respondent\u27s questionnaire, the order of the best alternative coding machines is Supplier A at 49.12%, Supplier B at 27.28%, and last Supplier C at 23.60%
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
