This work presents the development and improvements obtained by the implementation of continuous flow in the cabinet process at Schneider Electric's manufacturing plant in Tlaxcala, Mexico. The areas involved were the demand-planning, materials-planning, and manufacturing processes and warehouse operations. The implementation process, which consisted of shared planning, analysis of control operations, and synchronization of lean manufacturing techniques, led to increased communication among personnel within departments at the Schneider Tlaxcala plant (STP). In addition, this implementation produced the following benefits: (1) improvement of demand coverage in high-demand seasons without exceeding the production capacity, (2) reduction of shortages and delays in the assembly line with associated savings of approximately $3.5 million, (3) reduction of 17.5% in the overproduction of stamped parts and thus on the daily holding inventory, (4) setup time reduction of 77%, and (5) elimination of product flow between the cabinet process and the warehouse to reduce delivery lead time to the assembly line. The fifth benefit was made possible because STP was able to supply the cabinets directly to the assembly line in two days. As a result, the company released 49 storage spaces and improved its customer service by 5% because it could make the final products available to customers at the appropriate time (i.e., on schedule). After 24 months, these improvements led to total recurring savings of approximately $1 million considering an investment of 1.25%. In addition, Schneider Electric was able to successfully replicate this methodology in similar manufacturing plants in North America.

“…These include navigating the firmly held beliefs of coaches and the knowledge gap between the OR practitioner and stakeholders around the scientific method (Hurley, 2006), having a short time-frame to convince stakeholders of the value of the proffered decision support, and the perceived utility and ease of use of the decision support system (Shibl, Lawley, & Debuse, 2013). Having a competent model (or at least a functional prototype) that is transparent, robust and easy to explain to stakeholders (Levasseur, 2015) is critical. In a high-pressured sports performance environment, there is little room for coaches to engage in discussions around what a decision support system may be able to achieve.…”

Rugby union, like many sports, is based around sequences of play, yet this sequential nature is often overlooked, for example in analyses that aggregate performance measures over a fixed time interval. We use recent developments in convolutional and recurrent neural networks to predict the outcomes of sequences of play, based on the ordered sequence of actions they contain and where on the field these actions occur. The outcomes considered are gaining territory, retaining possession, scoring a try, and being awarded or conceding a penalty. We consider several artificial neural network architectures and compare their performance against baseline models.Accounting for sequential data and using field location improved classification accuracy over the baseline for some outcomes. We then investigate how these prediction models can provide tactical decision support to coaches. We demonstrate that tactical insight can be gained by conducting scenario analyses with data visualisations to investigate which strategies yield the highest probability of achieving the desired outcome.

аннотация Предмет. Многообразие и значимость существующих различных экономических систем невозможно пере-оценить. Поэтому очевидно, что их необходимо исследовать, приспосабливать, проектировать и использовать. цель. Целью данной работы является представление результатов поискового исследования в области инстру-ментов управления современными организациями. Качество и эффективность управленческой деятельности в настоящее время определяется не столько используемыми парадигмами, концепциями или принципами, а скорее применяемыми формами и содержанием элементов процессной деятельности, а также уровнем вы-полнения профессиональных управленческих задач. Методология. Исследование состояло в анализе современных разработок в области управления бизнес-про-цессами в социально-экономических системах. Использовались материалы по структуризации и классифи-кации управленческой деятельности с различных точек зрения. Проведено исследование и обзор различных средств и методов управления. Наиболее распространенной структурной единицей управленческой деятель-ности на практике и во многих научных работах является задача, которая представляет собой комплекс про-цедур преобразования входной информации в выходную информацию, выполняемых в определенное время с заданным качеством. Среди инструментов реализации были выбраны методы выполнения процедур, методы принятия управленческих решений и элементы менеджмента. результаты. Выполнено инструментальное обеспечение решения задач подпроцесса управления развитием управленцев организации. Определен их состав, дана характеристика и рассмотрены особенности их примене-ния. Было показано распределение инструментов управления по задачам подпроцесса управления развитием управленцев организации. Показана практическая реализация инструментов обеспечения технологий приме-нения задач управления в организации. выводы. Исследование имеет ценность для преподавателей, руководителей и консультантов, проводящих подготовку, переподготовку и развитие профессиональной компетенции управленцев в организациях любо-го профиля с учетом отраслевой специфики. Таким образом, использование инструментария технологизации управления позволяет повысить качество и эффективность деятельности современной организации.

The diversity and significance of existing different economic systems cannot be overestimated. Therefore, it is obvious that they need to be investigated, adapted, designed and used. Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a search study in the field of modern organizations management tools. The quality and effectiveness of managerial activity is currently determined not so much by the paradigms, concepts or principles used, but rather by the forms and content of the elements of the process activity used, and by the level of performance of professional m...
