Saat ini organisasi banyak sekali melakukan perekrutan dan mempromosikan orang-orang terbaik yang mendorong populernya assessment center dan development center. Memang, merekrut kandidat yang keliru akan sangat merugikan, baik dari segi waktu maupun uang. Metode assessment center dan development center memungkinkan penerapan beragam teknik untuk menilai keterampilan saat ini maupun kinerja pot…
Untuk dapat menghadapi tantangan masa depan, perusahaan membutuhkan orang-orang bertalenta, yaitu orang yang berkontribusi besar terhadap kemajuan perusahaan. Sayangnya orang-orang semacam itu bukan hanya langka, tetapi juga sulit dikelola. Mereka sangat demanding dan membutuhkan lingkungan kerja yang khusus. Apabila tidak, mereka akan lari atau dibajak oleh perusahaan lain.Untuk mendapatkan, m…
The paper aims to identify both the location and severity of damage in complex framed buildings using limited noisy vibration measurements. The study aims to directly adopt incomplete measured mode shapes in structural damage identification and effectively reduce the influence of measurement errors on predictions of structural damage.
In this paper a two-stage Data Envelopment Approach is used to assess the relative efficiency of container shipping agents operating at Spanish ports, and studying the factors influencing it. In the first stage, an input-oriented, Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) model is used to compute efficiency scores of the different shipping agents. The model considers labor as input, and numbers of loaded…

central coast of the São Paulo State, Brazil. Sediment qualitywas evaluated through physicochemical analysis and toxicity tests of sediments collected in the disposal site and adjacent area. The physicochemical characterization of the sediments involved grain size distribution, concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated bip…
The purpose of the study is to describe the activities initiated based on participation in a quality award process and with the intention to improve performance.
In green logistics operation, all logistics processes form a bidirectional closed-loop topology. In order to model and optimize such a kind of structure, a standardized closed-loop logistics operation reference model is built which aims to provide supply chain managers with general analysis. Based on the reference model, potential risks of closed-loop logistics chain can be analyzed including n…
The purpose of this paper is to develop a risk assessment method for production processes of large-size steel ship hulls
The scope of this paper is implementation issues of the e-Navigation concept of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). IMO has adopted the e-Navigation strategic implementation plan (SIP) in 2014. This plan, i.a., bases on estimating the effect of e-Navigation applications on reducing navigational accidents, including collisions and groundings of ships falling under the International Co…
Purpose – To minimise business risk of incurring increased marketability and acquisition costs due to volatile demand exacerbated by the bullwhip phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach – Based on the vision of the seamless supply chain and the active support of the decision support system exploiting the automatic pipeline inventory and order based production control system (APIOBPCS) a…
Describes the “Health Check” – an investigation of critical activities in warehouses which incorporates reviews of people′s perceptions, technology applied and systems used, in order to produce a rapid evaluation statement. This report identifies three levels of possible improvement from immediate action, involving little or no capital expenditure, to longer projects with significant ca…
Human error with regards to ship handling is the main cause of maritime accidents. The error happens because of the psychological problem of distraction. Despite the use of modern equipment, standard working procedures and competent crews, still accidents occur because of the physical and psychosocial stresses during the working period on board the ship. This creates undesirable results such as…
The dredged sediments of polluted seaports now raise complex management problems since it is no longer possible to discharge them into the sea. This results in the need to manage them on land, raising other types of technical, economic and environmental problems. Regarding the technical and economic dimensions, traditional waste treatment methods have proved to be poorly adapted, due to very…
Some universities have their maritime education situated in faculty of engineering while few are included in faculty of business. Emphasises are apparently different for those in faculty of engineering from those in faculty of business. The maritime business curriculum has to fulfill the requirements of accreditation of different international organizations e.g. STCW95 and AACSB. This paper is …
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study how a general standardized processes assessment capability/maturity model, such as Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), can be combined to a standardized benchmark of logistics processes best practices, such as FD X50-604, to propose a new approach that evaluates logistics processes capability/maturity. Design/methodology/approach â…
The majority of logistics research is primarily populated by quantitative research viewed through a positivist lens. Increasingly, there are calls for logistics research to more frequently employ qualitative methodologies. The trend in management research generally is increasingly to use methods and approaches which provide a middle ground between the contrasting positivist and phenomenological…
The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework for route selection in multimodal transportation which can reduce cost, lead time, risk and CO2 emission in multimodal transportation systems.
This is a polemical paper challenging both the principle and practice of journal ranking. In recent years academics and their institutions have become obsessive about the star-ratings of the journals in which they publish. In the UK this is partly attributed to quinquennial reviews of university research performance though preoccupation with journal ratings has become an international phenomeno…
For most software companies, the pressure for process improvement arises from the direction of a recently released standard in the domain of process assessment and determination of capability (ISO 15504). In the case of ISO 9001 a valuable framework for evaluation of the degree of compliance to this standard is provided by SABS ARP 042: 1997, while ISO 15504 Part 5 offers a detailed assessmen…
Suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers alike are still considering reverse logistics (RL) to be the “necessary evil” in their day-to-day operations rather than an opportunity for future performance. At the same time, a well-structured RL program can create a substantial valueadded and positively affect the bottom-line. Based on in-depth investigation of best-in-class RL progra…
Using a sample of executing agency executives, donor agency executives and supplying organisation executives, this study aims to identify the critical criteria for the assessment of suppliers in foreign-aid funded procurement in Bangladesh.
This paper aims to present a supply chain performance assessment tool that measures the performance of key supply chain activities of a firm under different performance dimensions.
This research aims to develop a supplier risk assessment methodology for measuring, tracking, and analyzing supplier and part specific risk over time for an automotive manufacturer.
