The Design and Implementation of a Key Performance Indicator Dashboard for KE-chain
No full textKE-works is a six years old company which aims to optimise the product development process in industrial applications. To accomplish this, KE-works deploys a web-application called KE-chain. KEchain is an engineering workflow management system with the objective to increase the efficiency of the product development process through better control, more efficient distribution, access and use of product-related information. Users have the possibility to set-up a project, manage the tasks belonging to this project, and control the workflow and information distribution. With KE-chain users are able to create structure in the heap of information that composes their product and, when used right, improve the process of their project development. One of the key elements in optimising the product development process is the monitoring of the available data to give users insight in the status of the project. Currently it is difficult to get a good overview of a project within KE-chain and it is not possible to see what tasks are cirtical at a certain moment. A common way of showing the status or performance of systems is the use of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s). These indicators, for example in the form of a graph or a table, can quickly give information about the performance of a system. KE-works has decided that it wants to give its users an overview in the formof a project-specific dashboard with KPI widgets. Therefore the assignment is to design and develop an integrated KPI dashboard into KE-chain. To design the KPI dashboard, which we named KE-board, we shortly researched the field of Performance Measurement to get an overview of the different approaches for the design of KPI’s. As a basis for the design we have adopted the Lean methodology [1] which has been used by KE-works in the past. In our research we have actually connected the Lean wastes to measures in KE-chain. To do this, we have chosen a bottom-up approach, which means we started by identifying the available data, after which we extracted several groups of measures. We have interviewed several clients of KEworks, the users of KE-chain. From these interviews we deducted which groups of measures were important for which user roles. To verify which measures are of importance for these dashboards, we have questioned and interviewd the consultants of KE-works. By combining the results of the interviews and the questionnaires we designed 7 KPI widgets. Finally, we created KE-board and integrated it into KE-chain in five weeks of implementation. After that we have evaluated the complete dashboard by interviewing the consultants of KE-works. On top of that, we have sent them a questionnaire in which they rated the functionality of the widgets to see if they contribute to their purpose and achieve the goals that we set for them. KE-board has been received well by the management and employees of KE-works and according to the extensive evaluation we can state that it definitely contributes to the optimization of the product development process in KE-chain.Computer ScienceComputer ScienceElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

Optimal upper bound for the infinity norm of eigenvectors of random matrices
No full textLet be a random Hermitian (or symmetric) matrix whose upper diagonal and diagonal entries are independent random variables with mean zero and variance one. It is well known that the empirical spectral distribution (ESD) converges in probability to the semicircle law supported on . In this thesis we study the local convergence of ESD to the semicircle law. One main result is that if the entries of are bounded, then the semicircle law holds on intervals of scale . As a consequence, we obtain the delocalization result for the eigenvectors, i.e., the upper bound for the infinity norm of unit eigenvectors corresponding to eigenvalues in the bulk of spectrum, is . The bound is the same as the infinity norm of a vector chosen uniformly on the unit sphere in . We also study the local version of Marchenko-Pastur law for random covariance matrices and obtain the optimal upper bound for the infinity norm of singular vectors. This is joint work with V. Vu. In the last chapter, we discuss the delocalization properties for the adjacency matrices of ErdH{o}s-R'{e}nyi random graph. This is part of some earlier results joint with L. Tran and V. Vu.Ph.

Development of zein-based ice nucleator films for frozen food applications
No full textThis research aimed at developing zein-based ice nucleation films for the applications of frozen foods. Acetic acid was chosen as the solvent to cast zein films with flawless surface. Tributyl citrate (TBC) was mixed into zein films to various proportions and 10% TBC was most effective on improving mechanical properties resulting in 2.3-fold more flexibility and 5.8-fold more toughness compared to unplasticized zein films. But incorporation of 20% TBC significantly decreased the water absorption by 19% compared to 10% TBC. Thus, zein films with 20% TBC with good flexibility and water resistance was used in following experiments. The activity of ECINs was stable at pH between 4.0 and 9.0 and ionic strength between 0.01 M and 0.10 M. In the development of INFs, the optimum adsorption of ECINs on zein films surface occurred through layer-by-layer method at pH 7.0 and ionic strength of 0.05 M on UV/ozone-treated zein. A novel method was developed to quantify the activity of INFs, which revealed that the highest activity of zein-based INFs reached 175 units/mm2. The zein-based ice nucleation films (INFs) were used to wrap frozen bread dough during five freeze/thaw cycles. The high-activity INF was as effective as blending ECINs in improving the yeast survival by 40%, and consequently increased the specific volume of bread loaf by 25%. Furthermore, high-activity INFs prevented the dehydration of frozen dough and thus significantly reduced the crumb hardness by 36% and increased the crumb springiness by 1.25 times. On energy saving, zein-based INFs were less potential than blended ECINs. INFs only reduced the time of freezing by 6% compared to the 20% by blended ECINs. However, the total amount of ECINs used on wrapping a piece of dough was only about 1/200 of the amount through blending. In addition, ECINs immobilized on the zein films showed desirable stability to sustain at least fifteen repetitive uses on freezing water.Ph.

Integrating centralized and decentralized approaches for multi-robot coordination
No full textAutonomous multi-robot systems play important roles in many areas such as industrial applications for repetitive tasks, explorations in hazardous environments, and military missions in extreme conditions. Many existing coordination strategies are developed for two general types of multi-robot systems including strongly centralized systems and completely decentralized systems. For strongly centralized systems, the global information including the environment as well as the locations of all the robots is shared. It is typical for small number of robots in well structural environments and is not robust to dynamic environment or failures in communications and other uncertainties. For completely decentralized systems, each robot is executing its own control schemes completely autonomously. There are no specified leaders throughout the mission, and the team organization does not have a set structure. In many real-world applications, it is beneficial to use so-called weakly centralized systems, in which the leader robot is not specified a priori, but it is selected dynamically during the mission to guide the robot team through dynamic environments or other uncertainties. It is very challenging to develop coordination strategies for this type of systems because of the dynamic nature of the team structures. The strategies should not only allow for on-line leader role selection but also enable formation decomposition and reconfiguration whenever necessary. In this thesis, we describe a general coordination framework for weakly centralized multi-robot systems that integrates the features from both strongly centralized and completely decentralized coordination strategies at the individual robot level. The framework allows the robots to reconfigure the formation dynamically in the presence of obstacles or other uncertainties in the environment, and promotes the main advantages of multi-robot systems such as flexibility and modularity. Since the control schemes can be decentralized and this framework allows for the selection of the motion planner and local controller for a given task, the framework can be naturally applied to multi-robot systems with larger scales. We have implemented this framework on a team of two-wheeled differential driven mobile robots. Significant results from numerical simulations and experiments have been obtained to demonstrate that the coordination schemes are effective and robust, and the framework is viable and can be scaled to relative large scale multi-robot systems.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Ke X

Pembangunan Sistem Informasi Supply Chain Management Di Pt Marc & Stuart Indonesia
No full textPT Marc & Stuart Indonesia merupakan perusahaan yang bergerak dibidang fashion untuk wanita dan pria. Produk yang diproduksi adalah sandal pria kategori M6. Permasalahan yang terjadi di PT Marc & Stuart Indonesia adalah outlet kesulitan dalam repeat order sesuai dengan data best seller. Data best seller dihasilkan dari data penjualan produk yang melebihi 5 pasang setiap bulan. Hal ini mengakibatkan perusahaan rugi karena terdapat stok produk yang tidak terjual di outlet. Bagian pengadaan kesulitan melakukan pembelian bahan baku sesuai dengan kebutuhan produk. Perusahaan terkadang menyediakan stok bahan baku berlebih untuk mengatasi ketidakpastian pembelian bahan baku ke supplier. Tetapi penyimpanan jumlah bahan baku yang besar akan mengakibatkan stok bahan baku menumpuk digudang. Bagian pengiriman kesulitan menentukan estimasi waktu pengiriman terhadap repeat order yang telah dilakukan outlet. Hal ini mengakibatkan outlet tidak mendapatkan produk sesuai dengan waktu pengiriman yang sudah ditetapkan. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, PT Marc & Stuart Indonesia membutuhkan sistem informasi Supply Chain Management. Sistem produksi menggunakan Pull Supply Chain (make-to-order). Metode Economic Order Quantity digunakan untuk menghitung jumlah keperluan bahan baku. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian yang telah dilakukan disimpulkan bahwa sistem sudah membantu perusahaan dalam mengelola pemesanan, menentukan jumlah keperluan bahan baku, menentukan estimasi waktu pengiriman yang tepat untuk pemesanan outlet
[[alternative]]The Meta-interpretation of Ke Jieh-The Analysis of Ideology of Body Action on the stage
No full text[[abstract]]The body endured some depressions under the shadow of binary opposition. Irigaray used the "black cave" to point out the pride of reason. Bakhtin used the "grotesque body" to unveil the prejudice of civilization.
Thus, I searched for a stage including character/thinking, voice/language, body/action to ascertain the fact of body's distress.
The Chinese opera theater became my selected object. In this stage the term of body action was "Ke Jieh".
The different roles of Ke Jieh in different theaters reflected the body suffering situations. There were three theaters as following:
1.Ke Jieh used the colonial mimicry of onnagata Ke Jieh to perform "the rebellion theater". In the facet of expressing sovereignty Ke Jieh played the supernumerary by means of the status of female.
2.Ke Jieh performed "the puppet theater" with the status of clown. The foregrounding position of Ke Jieh was under the control of commercial, political, culture, aesthetic theory.
3.Ke Jieh used the subject-creation of body to fight the material civilization; therefore, Ke Jieh performed "the essence theater" with the status of main actor. Ke Jieh returned to the original identity and got rid of the control of "God's will" in order' to look for the real presentation.
In conclusion, the performance of Ke Jieh in the Chinese opera theater became the potential text of body culture activities. "The rebllion theater" protested the degraded situation of body. "The puppet theater" was the reflection of body under control. "The essence theater " provided some directions to the development of body education.
