A production strategy enables companies to effectively manage the different challenges that the production function face in a competitive environment. A production strategy helps a company to make operational and strategic decisions that follow a logical pattern and supports the corporate strategy and the competitive priorities of the company. When no strategy exists the decisions may be arbitrary and unpredictable leading to an under-achieving production system. Production strategy involves decisions that shape the long term capabilities of a producing company. For the traditional production industry there are a number of production strategy frameworks that facilitates the process of designing production systems. However, these frameworks typically leave project based production out of the scope or treat project based production as one type of production system, when in fact project based production systems can be multifaceted depending on product design and market requirements. This thesis focus on project based manufacturing in a house-building context. Houses can be produced by different types of production systems, and depending on how the production systems are designed they have strengths and weaknesses in different areas of competition. To be able to meet the increasing demand for residential houses, and improve performance in the house-building industry, the way houses are produced have to match different market requirements in a more effective and efficient way. To do this a production strategy has to exist. Typically there is a trade-off between productivity and flexibility, hence a production system designed to meet customer requirements concerning product design is probably not the best process choice if the customer thinks price and delivery time are the most important. A production strategy helps a company to make decisions so that the output of the production system meets customer requirements in the best possible way. Due to the fact that project based production is typically left out of the scope in traditional production strategy literature and that there is a lack of research concerning production strategy in a house-building context, the purpose of this research is: … to extend the production strategy body of knowledge concerning project based production in a house-building context. To fulfil the purpose the following four research questions are studied and answered: RQ1: What aspects can be useful in a classification matrix contrasting different production systems for house-building? RQ2: Which competitive priorities are important to measure when evaluating different production systems on a production strategy level in a house-building context, and how can they quantitatively be measured? RQ3: How does the characteristics of the production system, i.e. the process choice, affect information exchange in a house-building context? RQ4: How can a new production strategy be formulated and implemented in an industrialised house-building context and what challenges are important to consider in that process? To answer RQ1 a classification matrix was developed that classify production systems along two dimensions: a product dimension (degree of product standardisation) and a process dimension (degree of off-site assembly). The two dimensions are related, for example a high degree of standardisation should be matched with a high degree of off-site assembly and consequently a low degree of product standardisation should be matched with a low degree of off-suite assembly. A mismatch, e.g. high degree of off-site assembly and low degree of standardisation, typically leads to poor performance and should hence be avoided. To be able to see how different types of production systems perform in different areas of competition key performance indicators (KPIs) were developed. The KPIs presented in this research can be used to measure quality, delivery (speed and dependability), cost (level and dependability), and flexibility (volume and mix) at a production strategic level (RQ2). Furthermore, to answer RQ3, a production strategy perspective was taken on information exchange by relating information exchange to the design of the production system. The results indicate that employing different types of production systems leads to different approaches to information exchange. Employing a production systems using traditional production methods on-site and a low degree of product standardisation lead to a traditional approach to information exchange, e.g. project meetings, telephone and mail. Production systems employing some degree of off-site assembly have less complex and more stable supply chains and use ICT-solutions to a higher extent, which facilitates information exchange. The findings also indicate that a high degree of product standardisation facilitates the use of ICT-solutions such as ERP and BIM. RQ4 concerns the production strategy process, i.e. formulation and implementation. Failure in this processes can jeopardise the whole business. Based on a longitudinal case study of an industrialised house-builder a suggested production strategy process was developed, including both production strategy formulation and implementation. The study also identified context specific challenges that have to be considered in an industrialised house-building context, e.g. the complexity that comes with using two different production processes (off-site and on-site) in the same production system. The research is case based and a total number of eight different production systems have been studied. Data has been collected through interviews, observations, and review of company documents.

The Demonstration project was conducted on the Demonstration Farm at the Maricopa Agricultural Center. In this project all current guidelines and recommendations disseminated by the University of Arizona were integrated in a systems approach. The management decisions were made by the Extension Specialists in agronomy, entomology, irrigation management, weed sciences, and plant pathology following the University recommendations. On a 50.5 acre field 80% Bt and 20% non-Bt cotton was planted dry and watered up. Due to the cold spring and sand-blasting, only a stand of 30,900 plants/A could be established with 84% terminal damage. 72 acreinches of water were used with 41.3 acre-inches in postplant irrigations. Weed control could be achieved with one preplant application and three cultivations. Three sprays against Lygus and one spray against whiteflies were necessary after the thresholds were exceeded. A total of 4120 lb seedcotton per acre were harvested, with 32.7% lint turnout (2.81 bales/A) and 45.9% seed turnout (1891 lb/A). After harvesting a field budget was established. The variable costs per acre were $915, the total cost $1266/acre. In spite of the lack of replications this project validates the usefulness and compatibility of University recommendations and the potential for integration of all disciplinary guidelines in one system.

L’efficacité de la grande majorité des outils utilisés pour le Traitement Automatique des Langues Naturelles (TALN) dépend directement ou indirectement des ressources linguistiques informatisées sur lesquels ils reposent. Pour des langues internationalement employées telles que le français ou l’espagnol, bien des ressources de référence sont encore dans un état précaire de développement. Pour d’autres langues ayant une communauté moins importante, ces ressources sont souvent inexistantes. Cette situation est la conséquence directe des ambigüités et des irrégularités des langues naturelles. Ces dernières rendent leur formalisation complexe, leur description manuelle fastidieuse et leur acquisition automatisée difficile. De nos jours, pour les aspects linguistiques ayant des formalismes de description consensuels, la principale limitation à la création des ressources linguistiques est le coût humain prohibitif induit par leur création et amélioration manuelle. Comme le formalise la loi de Zipf, améliorer la qualité et la couverture d’une ressource linguistique devient toujours plus laborieux lorsque l’on compara les efforts investis aux améliorations obtenues. La difficulté est donc moins de savoir comment décrire l’aspect linguistique d’une langue que d’en réaliser une description dont la couverture et la qualité répondent aux besoins d’applications performantes. Construire de telles ressources requiert donc des années d’efforts constants débouchant trop souvent sur des résultats d’une qualité relative et d’une visibilité limitée. L’acquisition et la correction rapides et efficaces de ressources linguistiques sont donc des problèmes peu résolus et d’une importante capitale pour les développement dans le domaine du TALN. Dans ce contexte, mes recherches ont pour but premier de faciliter la production de ressources linguistiques symboliques ayant trait à l’analyse syntaxique. Elles s’inscrivent dans un projet, appelé Victoria, dont l’objectif est de développer un ensemble de techniques, d’outils et de stratégies pour l’acquisition et la correction de règles morphologiques, de lexiques morphosyntaxiques et de grammaires lexicalisées. L’application pratique de ces développements nous a permis de créer et/ou d’améliorer des ressources linguistiques pour le français, l’espagnol et le galicien. Plus particulièrement, mes efforts se sont concentrés sur : des stratégies pratiques pour minimiser les efforts nécessaires à la création et l’amélioration de ressources linguistiques ; l’acquisition automatique des règles morphologiques d’une langue à morphologie concaténative ; la correction semi-automatique de lexiques morpho-syntaxiques à large couverture.

The purpose of the master thesis has been to examine the production system at the company Lundqvist Trävaru AB and use the gathered information to create a layout suggestion together with a couple of improvement ideas. The thesis is the final part of the Industrial Design Engineering programme at Luleå University of Technology (LTU). Lundqvist Trävaru AB is a manufacturing company that specializes in producing prefabricated building kits out of wood, but the insufficient size of their current factory located in the industrial area of Öjebyn on the outskirts of Piteå, have created a need to relocate to alarger site. This new site is located at Haraholmen south of Piteå. The aim and objective have therefore been to develop a layout suggestion as well as a couple of improvement ideas, with the purpose of solving the identified problems at the current factory, thereby making sure that they do not reappear at the new site. Methods in the form of interviews, observations and documentation reviews were performed to identify potential problems with the production system and the work organization. To aid the investigation of the current factory, literature reviews of scientific books and articles were also performed during the project, with the purpose of giving the thesis a solid scientific foundation. After an overview of the production system had been created, the next step was to analyze the identified problems. These affected many different aspects of the company, for instance the material handling, work organization, flow ofinformation, production flexibility, inventory capacity and production flow. The main problem that in turn caused many of the identified problems was the insufficient inventory capacity, which led to problems with overflowing inventories and long delivery times for materials. This in turn affected thematerial handling negatively and made it hard to keep track of materials in the factory. Additional problems that were identified was divided workstations, scattered areas for material storage, an increasing amount of special orders with dimension outside of the ordinary size range, a lack of standardized working methods and lack of communication between the office and the production team. After the problems had been identified, the next part of the project was dedicated to performing creative methods with the purpose of developing layout concepts as well as improvement ideas. The methods that were used to fulfill this task was brainstorming, mind map, requirement specification, proximity chart and workshop. After these methods had been performed the result was four layout concepts and several improvement ideas. The next step was to evaluate the layouts and the ideas with the help of the requirements that had been specified together with the management at Lundqvist. The evaluations resulted in a final layout together with the most promising improvement ideas. These ideas were to standardized drawings and working methods, increase the work with creating manuals for the different stations and machines, adapt the workstations for special orders, purchase tablet computers for each workstation thereby allowing better information sharing and contact between the production team and the office, create a digital map of the factory, use markings and colors at inventories to facilitate identification of specific materials, better routines for the disposal of production waste and larger passages for trucks and wheel loaders. The result of the last part of the project was a 3D-model of the factory and the site, which showed the placement of the different machines, workstations and inventories used during the production of the prefabricated building kits. The benefits of the suggested layout and improvement ideas are bettermaterial handling, increased inventory capacity, better information sharing, standardized working methods and drawings, a straighter production flow and an increased production flexibility, which gives a better ability to produce special orders. If it turns out that it is hard to implement the layout at thepresent, the recommendation for Lundqvist Trävaru AB is to start with implementing the improvement ideas and then successively implement the layout. The suggested ideas and layout will make the company more prepared for the future and increase their ability to handle the planned productionincrease, while also making sure that they are able to better keep production deadlines, attract more customers and successfully establish themselves at Haraholmen. Which in turn will lead to reduced unemployment and increased tax revenue for Piteå municipalitySyftet med examensarbete har varit att undersöka produktionssystemet hos företaget Lundqvist Trävaru AB, samt använda den insamlade informationen för att skapa ett layoutförslag tillsammans med ett par förbättringsidéer. Detta examensarbete är sista delen av programmet Teknisk Design vid Luleå Tekniska Universitet (LTU). Lundqvist Trävaru AB är ett tillverkningsföretag som är specialiserade på att producera prefabricerade byggsatser gjorda av trä, men otillräckligt utrymme vid deras nuvarandefabriken belagd i industriområdet Öjebyn i utkanten av Piteå, har skapat ett behov av att flytta till en större anläggning. Denna nya anläggning är placerad i Haraholmen söder om Piteå. Syftet och målet har därför varit att utveckla ett layoutförslag, såväl som ett antal förbättringsförslag, med syftet att lösa de identifierade problemen vid den nuvarande fabriken och därmed se till att de inte dyker upp igen vid den nya anläggningen. Metoder i form av intervjuer, observationer och dokumentgranskningar utfördes för att identifiera potentiella problem med produktionssystemet och arbetsorganisationen. För att underlätta undersökningen av den nuvarande fabriken utfördes också litteraturgranskningar av vetenskapliga böcker och artiklar under projektets gång, i syfte att ge examensarbetet en stabil vetenskaplig grund. Efter att en översikt av produktionssystemet hade skapats var nästa steg att analysera de identifierade problemen, vilket påverkade många olika aspekter av företaget, bland annat materialhanteringen, arbetsorganisationen, informationsflödet, produktionsflexibiliteten, lagerkapaciteten och produktionsflödet. Huvudproblemet som i sin tur orsakade många av de identifierade problemen, var den otillräckliga lagerkapaciteten, som lede till problem med överfyllda lager och långa leveranstider för material. Detta påverkade i sin tur materialhanteringen negativt och gjorde det svårt att hålla reda på material i fabriken. Ytterligare problem som identifierades var uppdelade arbetsstationer, utspridda områden för materiallagring, en ökande mängd specialbeställningar med dimensioner utanför det vanliga storleksområdet, brist på standardiserade arbetsmetoder samt brist på kommunikation mellan kontoret och produktionsteamet. Efter att problemen hade identifierats ägnades nästa del av projektet åt att utföra kreativa metoder i syfte att utveckla layoutkoncept och förbättringsidéer. Metoderna som användes föratt utföra denna uppgift var brainstorming, mind map, kravspecifikation, närhetsanalys och workshop. Efter att dessa metoder hade utförts blev resultatet fyra layoutkoncept och flera förbättringsidéer. Nästa steg var att utvärdera layouterna och idéerna med hjälp av de krav som hade specificerats tillsammans med ledningen hos Lundqvist. Utvärderingen resulterade i en slutlig layout tillsammans med de mest lovande förbättringsidéerna. Dessa idéer var att standardisera ritningar och arbetsmetoder, öka arbetet med att skapa manualer för de olika stationerna och maskinerna, anpassa arbetsstationerna för specialbeställningar, köpa surfplattor för varje arbetsstation och därmed möjliggör bättre informationsdelning och kontakt mellan produktionsteamet och kontoret, skapa en digital karta över fabriken, använda markeringar och färger vid lager för att underlätta identifiering av specifikt material, bättre rutiner för hantering av produktionsavfall och större passager för truckar och traktorer. Resultatet av projektets sista del var en 3D-modell av fabriken och tomten, som visade placeringen av de olika maskinerna, arbetsstationerna och lagren som används under produktionen av de prefabricerade byggsatserna. Fördelarna med den förslagna layouten och förbättringsidéerna är bättre materialhantering, ökad lagerkapacitet, bättre informationsdelning, standardiserade arbetsmetoder och ritningar, ett rakare produktionsflöde samt ökad produktionsflexibilitet, vilket ger en bättre förmåga att producera specialbeställningar. Om det visar sig vara svårt att implementera layouten i nuläget är rekommendationen för Lundqvist Trävaru AB att börja med att implementera förbättringsidéerna och sedan succesivt implementera layouten. De förslagna idéerna samt layouten kommer att göra företaget mer förberett för framtiden och öka deras förmåga att hantera den planerade produktionsökningen, samtidigt som de ser till att de kan hålla produktionsdeadlines bättre, locka fler kunder och framgångsrikt etablera sig på Haraholmen. Vilket i sin tur kommer att leda till minskad arbetslöshet och ökade skatteintäkter för Piteå kommun.

The current study aimed at investigating the sustainability of KwaZakhele's Permaculture Project and was conducted in the Eastern Cape Province within the Nelson Mandela Metro Municipality at Ward 22 according to Municipal Ward demarcations. The researcher was motivated to carry out this study due to the fact that many food production projects in the NMMM are not sustainable and thus contribute to food insecurity and a high rate of unemployment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of permaculture projects in solving some of the food insecurity and unemployment issues in the NMMM. The KwaZakhele Permaculture Project (KPP) is a vegetable garden which produces different types of vegetables for marketing purposes and for household consumption. The KPP is supported financially by overseas-based organisations and have created ten direct work opportunities for KwaZakhele community. All the project members of the KPP are women. A qualitative research approach was employed in this study, with the emphasis of collecting primary data from the project participants as well as consulting secondary data from sources such as academic journals, books and government policy documents. The study reveals that permaculture design training and project monitoring are the most important developmental support permaculture projects need before and after implementation. The study also determined that the costs of establishing permaculture project can be higher or lower depending on the project size. Consultation and co-ordination fees account for a greater portion of the funding followed by permaculture infrastructure. The results of the study also indicate that permaculture design principles and ethics are seen as a strength for the sustainability of KPP.

Traditional methods of project management are not appropriate for complex projects anymore. Since projects are becoming increasingly complex and uncertain, interaction between activities and resources is growing in ways not considered by these methods. Nowadays, managers need more agile project management methods that are able to recognize and deal with uncertainty and to produce the expected results. Lean project management, the most recent approach of lean methodology, appears as an alternative approach capable of dealing with complexity and uncertainty. The latest investigations in the field show that traditional methods are still adequate for simple projects, while lean methods are more appropriate for complex projects. This thesis aims to investigate the nature of lean project management and to examine project risk management processes so that managers can assess the complexity of projects before their beginning and decide which method to apply in order to manage them.

Critical Chain project management methodologies have been used for the last ten years to manage a wide range of projects. These methods, which apply Eli Goldratt's Theory of Constraints, have demonstrated the ability to complete projects faster and with greater predictability. While the focus of Critical Chain has been on projects of a finite duration, such as product development efforts, the application of these techniques in a more continuous, manufacturing setting can also bring about the same benefits of decreased time and increased predictability. In a customized product environment, where each product is a unique project, scheduling production requires more than the creation of a schedule and the management of manufacturing resources. Information must be created and managed from the moment a project is initiated through its implementation. It is the proper management of the essential project details across functions: materials, labor activities, and their timing, that enables faster project lead times and lower overall costs. ABB Raffin Electric's labor and material costs were 15% higher than expected for 2008 due to cost and schedule slippage. This thesis shows how a process for managing project information could have recovered 75% of the lost costs through the proper management of materials and labor activities. Costs and activity durations were estimated using a tool that combined small, common groups of materials and labor activities into complex assemblies.
(cont.) These assemblies were then translated into a set of common instructions for execution. A Critical Chain production schedule managed the execution of these work instructions and balanced resources among all active projects. Finally, a process for feeding back information from finished projects enabled more accurate future estimates.

This research was undertaken to determine the profitability of investing research funds into the Three Strata Forage System (TSFS) project, a cattle production project funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and carried out in the village of Pecatu, Bali. The purpose of the project was to increase the production of cattle and productivity of the traitional farming system by introducing different grass, ground ground legumes, fodder shrubs and trees, and changing the pattern of land allocated to these forages.
A TSFS plot foregoes 0.09 hectares of crop production to produce 0.09 hectares of grass and ground legumes (strata 1), 2000 shrubs (strata 2) and 42 fodder trees (strata 3) on the perimeter of a 0.25 hectare crop field. Cattle are fed exclusively with forages obtained from the plot, in contrast to the traditional system where cattle are tethered on marginal land and fed with feed obtained from other locations on the farm. The TSFS researchers have claimed that the TSFS will "not only increase the quantity and quality of the forages, but it could also increase the stocking rate [of cattle] and carrying capacity of the land, increase the soil fertility, reduce the soil erosion, increase the firewood supply, increase the farm income, induce other on-farm activities, and induce better ecological balance of the environment" (Nitis et al, 1989).
In this study, the claims made by TSFS project researchers have been evaluated using financial analyses. Using data collected from farms in Pecatu, Bali, the values of TSFS production inputs are estimated from local market prices and regressions estimating farm production relationships. The results of the financial analyses were then used to
infer the social welfare effects of the TSFS.
The results of the analyses show that the TSFS plot incurs negative returns, relative to a traditional crop field. Elements of the TSFS system, such as improvements to the local ecosystem, are believed to have a minimal effect on the final estimates of the profitability of the plot and are excluded from the analysis. The large negative returns of the plot indicate that there are resource allocation costs associated with the transfer of high value crop land to the low value forage production advocated by the TSFS.
The grasses and ground legumes introduced by the TSFS project were not familiar to farmers in Pecatu. However, the farmers were willing to experiment with the new varieties, with varying degrees of risk averseness and success in adoption (in accordance to the findings of Antle and Crissman (1990)). The tree and shrub forages of the TSFS were already known to farmers in Pecatu; the introduction of the TSFS did not appear to affect the use of tree fodder resources but may have increased the use of forage shrubs. The results of financial analysis of individual project forages indicate farmers have preferences for specific forage species. While farmers agreed to participate in the TSFS project due to financial incentives, they found they could reduce the costs of the TSFS by adopting profitable aspects of the TSFS, using a more flexible approach to land allocations and choice of forage species.
As the shrubs, grasses and ground legumes are well-known throughout Asia, it appears that the only new management techniques introduced by the TSFS are the planting arrangement and feeding system - and these aspects have resulted in negative returns. Therefore, any positive welfare effects associated with the project are due to an
increase in the rate of adoption of the forages included in the TSFS - although these effects are not large enough to offset the losses imposed by an inefficient allocation of land and labour resources to forage production.
Reviewing all resource allocation effects of the TSFS, and given the size of the payments needed to obtain farmer participation it is clear that the net welfare effects are negative. Notwithstanding the optimistic claims of the project literature, the forages produced by the TSFS regime are not valuable enough to match the profitable crop activities they are supplanting.
There is evidence to suggest that TSFS researchers have been prone to misjudge the true costs and benefits associated with the TSFS plot. This arises not only as a result of overly optimistic claims of project benefits and understated project costs, but a pervasive disregard for the rationality of traditional farmers.
For future research projects, it is recommended that the funding agency, IDRC, require ex ante economic analyses, to determine the true social costs and benefits of a proposed technology. In this way, projects of net negative social value can be identified and improved before research resources have been allocated to the generate an inefficient technology.Land and Food Systems, Faculty of

O processo pelo qual passa um projeto de arquitetura, do estudo preliminar até o momento em que é finalizado no nível do projeto executivo, é uma das bases e enfoque deste trabalho. Associado a isto, verifica-se a discussão acerca das questões ambientais e dos impactos ambientais causados pelo fenômeno de criação de cidades e seu adensamento no planeta em que vivemos. A partir disso, foram levantadas informações que apresentam um panorama atual daquilo que se tem feito a respeito. Em uma atitude pró-ativa, são apresentados projetos arquitetônicos embasados em conceitos mitigadores. Dessa forma, pode-se visualizar as soluções com as quais busca-se aparar algumas arestas. A relação entre o edifício e o meio no qual se insere, bem como sua interação com os seus usuários, são no momento, algumas das principais preocupações deste estudo. Torná-las, respectivamente, mais tênues e mais agradáveis fazem parte do objetivo em questão. Considera-se que existem meios totalmente provenientes de criatividade e de recursos tecnológicos capazes de agregar qualidade ao produto final de um projeto arquitetônico, ou seja, aos edifícios. O salto qualitativo é proveniente da correta maneira em se lidar com um problema comum que afeta todas as pessoas: a saúde do Planeta Terra.Part of this work?s background is the process through witch passes an architectural project, since its preliminary studies until the final step, in terms of construction drawings. In association with that, there is an analysis of the discussion on environmental questions and the environmental impacts caused by the cities creation phenomenon and its densification on the planet in witch we live. From this point, a panorama has been defined with information of what is being done regarding this subject matter. Adopting a pro-active attitude, architectural projects designed with sustainable principles were presented. Solutions with witch rough edges can be softened are now possible to be seen. The relation between the building and the place where it is inserted, as well as it?s interaction with the people, are two of this studies concernment. To convert them in a more neutral and pleasant relation/interaction are part of the goal. It is considered there are creative and technological ways, passive to aggregate quality to a building, the final product of the architectural project. The quality step comes from the correct way to deal with an every people common concernment: the health of the Planet Earth.

The aim of this thesis project is to create a user interface for a web based film production project management portal. This implies creating a site map and a functionality specification based on the needs of the people working in the film production industry. The project was made on account of The Chimney Pot, a post production company in Stockholm. For the scope of this project, the research was concentrated on the part of film production that concerns The Chimney Pot, i.e. the procedures that take place after a film has been recorded. The research also focused on people working in the area of Stockholm, even if their clients and customers in other areas of Sweden and abroad were indirectly included in order for the project portal to be a usable tool in projects where these people are involved.
Before any visible results can be seen in a web production project, a range of preparation steps needs to be taken. Planning is essential if the final product shall work properly. Extensive research has to be done into the industry. In order to make the product usable, the intended users, their requirements, work procedures and environment need to be examined. Only when there are substantial results and enough knowledge about the industry, the actual implementation can start. The first step is to make a functionality specification, next a site map should be produced and the technical architecture should be specified. These are the areas that are covered in this project, but there are also recommendations about how the further development should be made. Important aspects in the next phase are to create a budget, to put together a development team and to create a graphic user interface. In the whole process the issues of usability need to be considered, i.e. efficiency, flexibility, learnability and satisfaction.
The key requirements for the project portal turned out to be speed and effectiveness. The user interface was designed to be intuitive and to be shallow, which means that the user should be able to perform any task with the least amount of mouse clicks possible. Another intention with the produced user interface is for it to be clearly divided into the four main areas that could be extracted from the user requirements. They are planning, project details, communication and file sharing. Directly after logging on to the project portal, the user should get an overview of all these areas. Other important considerations were security, version control and seamlessness. These issues demand a thorough planning of the technical architecture and this thesis provides some useful tips for the further development of the technical specification.

The appraisal of government-sponsored agricultural projects should examine the costs and benefits for society as a whole. The present thesis was developed in a context where the Ecuadorian government included poor small farmers from the province of Manabi as suppliers of Jatropha curcas, an endemic plant that produces oil seeds, which can be used as feedstock for biofuel. The government assumed that this initiative would improve the income of the involved farmers, but this assumption was not measured in quantitative terms. A study published in support of the project's development performed a financial evaluation that excluded the value of input resources to the national economy. Given this, the main objectives of this thesis were to measure the changes in welfare for the target group, and to construct a government cash flow that determined the project's net benefits with respect to the national economy. Cost-benefit analysis quantifies the impacts to all members of society arising from the implementation of a project or policy. In particular, the selected methodology was directed to agricultural projects involving smallholders. This method also proposes alternative projects and compares the net benefits with the status quo. In this case, the status quo was proposed by the government, and it involved farmers collecting Jatropha curcas seeds from living fences growing throughout the province. The alternative, proposed in this thesis, entailed that the smallholders cultivate the plant on their lands. Thus, financial analysis evaluated the farmer's resources placed in the project at market values, which resulted in the net benefits for the project's duration. On the other hand, the economic analysis considered values that represent the opportunity cost of input resources, and measured the project's impact to the national economy.The financial analysis determined that the annual net benefit in the status quo did not cover the farmer's investment. On the other hand, the alternative project showed positive total and incremental net benefits, implying that investment and operating costs would be covered. The government cash flow statements for the current and the proposed projects showed cumulative deficits. The economic analysis determined that the alternative project's incremental net benefit was positive. The net present value of the alternative project at the individual level was positive, representing a 41% increment with respect to the status quo. At the aggregate level, the net present value of the project's incremental net benefit was positive, which signifies an addition to the national economy. The results of financial analysis suggest that if the farmer switches from the status quo to the proposed alternative, his annual income would increase. It was also determined that the current government's initiative does not offer sufficient monetary incentive for farmers to engage in it. However, the net income change expected from the alternative project is positive, and is able to cover the initial investment and operating expenditures. The government's cash flow indicated that the project does not generate sufficient income to cover for the investment and recurrent costs. The results of the economic analysis suggest that the alternative project would produce a positive change in the net national income. Therefore, the analysis and results presented in this thesis might be used as a model for future evaluations of government investment intended to assist poor smallholders.L'évaluation des projets agricoles financés par le gouvernement devrait examiner les coûts et les revenus par rapport à la société dans son ensemble. Cette thèse s'est développée dans un contexte où le gouvernement équatorien a mis en effet un projet dans lequel les agriculteurs pauvres de la province de Manabi sont devenus fournisseurs de Jatropha curcas, une plante endémique qui produit des graines huileuses utilisées comme matière première de biocarburants. Le gouvernement a supposé que cette initiative permettrait d'améliorer le revenu des agriculteurs concernés, mais cette hypothèse n'a pas été mesurée en termes quantitatifs. Une étude publiée pour soutenir le développement du projet a effectué une évaluation financière qui exclut la valeur des ressources à l'économie nationale. Dans ce contexte, les principaux objectifs de cette thèse sont : l'estimation des changements dans le bien-être du groupe ciblée, et la construction d'un flux de trésorerie du gouvernement qui puisse déterminer les revenus nets du projet par rapport à l'économie nationale.L'analyse coûts-bénéfices quantifie les impacts à tous les membres de la société résultant de la mise en œuvre d'un projet ou d'une politique. En particulier, la méthode choisie ici évalue les projets agricoles impliquant les petits propriétaires. Cette méthode propose également des projets alternatifs et compare les bénéfices nets avec le statu quo. Dans ce cas, le statu quo a été proposé par le gouvernement, et il s'agit de récolter des graines de Jatropha curcas des clôtures vivantes semées à travers la province. Le projet alternatif, proposé dans cette thèse, implique que les petits agriculteurs cultivent la plante sur leurs terres. Ainsi, l'analyse financière a évalué la valeur des ressources de l'agriculteur placés dans le projet en prix de marché, dont le résultat est les bénéfices nets pour la durée du projet. D'autre part, l'analyse économique a considéré les valeurs qui représentent le coût d'opportunité des ressources, qui estime l'impact du projet pour l'économie nationale.L'analyse financière a déterminé que le bénéfice net annuel dans le statu quo ne couvre pas l'investissement de l'agriculteur. D'autre part, le projet alternatif a rapporté des bénéfices nets totaux et différentiels positifs, ce qui signifie que l'investissement et les coûts opératifs seraient couverts. Les états des flux de trésorerie du gouvernement pour le projet actuel et le projet proposé ont montré des déficits cumulés. L'analyse économique a déterminé que le bénéfice net différentiel du projet alternatif a été positif. La valeur actuelle nette du projet alternatif au niveau individuel a été positive, ce qui représente une augmentation de 41% par rapport au statu quo. La valeur actuelle nette du bénéfice agrégat a été positive, ce qui signifie une addition monétaire à l'économie nationale.Les résultats de l'analyse financière suggèrent que si l'agriculteur passe du statu quo à l'alternative proposée, son revenu annuel augmenterait. Il a également été déterminé que l'initiative actuelle proposée par le gouvernement n'offre pas d'avantage monétaire attractif aux agriculteurs. Cependant, la variation espérée du revenu net du projet alternatif est positif; par conséquent, l'investissement initial et les dépenses de fonctionnement seraient couverts. Les flux de trésorerie du gouvernement ont indiqué que le projet ne génère pas de revenus suffisants pour couvrir les coûts d'investissement et de fonctionnement. Les résultats de l'analyse économique suggèrent que le projet alternatif produirait un changement positif dans le revenu national net. De ce fait, l'analyse et les résultats présentés dans cette thèse peuvent être recréés dans futures évaluations de l'investissement du gouvernement visant à améliorer la situation socio-économique des petits propriétaires agricoles.

Daicel Safety Systems Americas, INC has traditionally utilized various methods to manage project completions including the Critical Path Method (CPM). Though these methods have led to successful project completions, they often come with adverse effects. Due to the amount of literature and advancement in the project management discipline, alternative options such as Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) have gained popularity. CCPM seeks to perfect the CPM approach by recognizing resource constraints and the critical chains dependency on them while safeguarding completion dates with buffers. CCPM offers project managers an option to remove resource inefficiency and stalling while meeting deadlines.
The goal of the thesis was to address the validity of CCPM to complete a Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) for a product line addition. The submission was timely due to risk management purposes and manufacturing flexibility. Because of past project history with CPM and the need to advance into a more reliable method, the results of the CCPM approach were heavily analyzed. The project outcome indicated that CCPM offers a viable solution to timely target schedule completions.

The construction industry is suffering with many problems nowadays. Many projects are
getting failed and getting over budget. It has been generally noticed that chaos in
construction industry is only because of the absence of explicit theory of project
management. The paradigm of project management in construction is still following mass
production, which means considering only conversion activities. The present style of
conventional project management is based on two fundamental theories i.e. management-
as-planning (for planning and execution) and thermostat model (for control).
The new philosophy (lean production) considers production both conversion and flow
processes. The focus of lean production is to reduce flow processes, to improve the
conversion processes, and to reduce the wastes during production.
Among all other lean tools, this document is focusing on Last Planner System (LPS) for
the production control system. In the end of the document, two case studies have been
mentioned in which it is clearly demonstrated that, when project managers used the LPS
the value of PPC (percent planned completed) and PF (performance factor) have been
more salubrious as compared to the absence of LPS during the execution of the project.

Thesis (MA.Agricultural Management (Animal Production)) -- University of Limpopo, 2013The objectives of the study were to evaluate the productivity of the Vhembe egg production project and determine the management and socio-economic factors affecting productivity. The data were collected from 2005 to 2007. Thirty-two farmers from four municipalities were randomly selected. Each household received a once-off unit consisting of a cage with eighteen point of lay chickens 4x50 bags of laying mesh, feeding and drinking troughs. Production records from sampled farmers were used in the analysis. Data included monthly egg production, eggs consumed, eggs sold, income from eggs, production costs, monthly feed utilization and mortality. Primary data on educational standards, socio-economic characteristics (age and gender of the household head, farming size, level of education and alternative income, were collected using a questionnaire. The study revealed that sex, age and educational level had impact on production as low production was associated with older farmers and low level of education. These factors should be considered when planning community projects. Chicken rearing and ownership is often shared among the family members, in this study, the management was predominantly by women (63%) and children (18%). This may be an indication that if assistance efforts are targeted towards women, village poverty could be significantly reduced. It is concluded that the low income accrued from the project explains the reason for high abandonment or neglect of the project. The income received from the project is smaller than the government grants and as such not attractive. It is not surprising that presently most farmers have abandoned the project. It is noted that if labour costs had been taken into consideration, the project would be running at a serious loss and the resultant output would discourage even the most enthusiastic farmers.

The construction industry ranks high in the number of occupational incidents due to the complex and interdependent nature of the tasks. However, construction firms using lean construction have reported better safety performance than the rest. The situation reflects the limitation of traditional planning methods used in construction firms focusing on project level planning, at the expense of production level planning. Lean construction involves participants in the formal production planning process to minimize variability in workflow thus reducing probability of incidents. Considering the involvement of various participants in the production planning process, this research study hypothesized that communication levels afforded by participants during formal production planning have a positive impact on safety performance.
The goal of this research study was to understand the role of communication in the formal production planning process and its impact on safety performance. A case study approach was adopted for analyzing two projects, one following formal production planning and another following traditional project planning. Weekly subcontractor coordination meeting was selected as the unit of analysis. Data has been collected using direct observations, open-ended interviews, and examination of archival documents. For this study, the independent variables were categories of communication and dependent variable was recordable incidence rate (safety performance). Communication data was analyzed using Robert Balesâ Interaction Process Analysis.
Based on the analyses, the participants involved in formal production planning demonstrated: more sensitivity and higher degree of control by frequently providing suggestions/opinions, more enthusiasm in exchange of commitments, sincerity by declining inquiry for commitments in case of conflict of interest, and greater involvement by engaging in frequent dialogues with others. In addition, participants involved in production planning adopted a proactive approach toward safety performance by ensuring that safety was considered while preparing production plans, thus helping improve awareness. The findings indicated a better safety record by the project following formal production planning in comparison to the other project.
The research study provides a â mesoâ level understanding of the role of communication among project participants during formal production planning, and indicates that production planning might have a beneficial impact on safety performance.Ph. D.

The aim of this paper is to present a new genetic algorithm approach for large scale multiple resource-constrained project-scheduling problems. This research area is very common in industry especially when a set of activities needs to be finished as soon as possible subject to two sets of constraints, (?) Precedence constraints, and (?) Resource constraints. The literature reveals that previous researches have developed numerous scheduling methods and techniques to overcome the complex nature of this problem. However, there are still no promising methods that guarantee optimal solutions as well as computational feasibility. Genetic Algorithms (GA) are very promising Artificial Intelligence approaches to this problem in terms of the computational feasibility and the quality of solutions. However, the most common models of GA are very difficult to implement in scheduling problems. On the other hand, using specific and proper design of GA can make scheduling problems tractable. The emphasis in this research is on investigating the complexity of scheduling problems and developing a new GA approach to solve this problem in such ways that the advantages of GA are fully utilized and the design of GA is based on the nature of scheduling problems. In order to make this research more practical and challenging, we extend the type of resources constraints to multiple types rather than only one resource type. Computational results are also reported for the most famous classical problems taken from the operational research literature.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Thesis (PhD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The main proposition of this study is that the notion of a single set of universal success factors (enablers) of innovation is naïve. Rather, the importances of different enablers are contextually based and dependent upon different kinds of projects and their attributes. By investigating the roles of project radicalness and maturity in governing the importance of enablers of innovation in the process industries, two major conclusions were made, viz. (1) the importance of enablers are significantly moderated by project attributes, and (2) the mutual interactions between moderators of enabler importance prevent the formulation of middle-range theories of innovation radicalness or maturity, which propose normative relationships between innovation attributes and enabler importance. Although a number of previous studies have posited such outcomes, this study provides empirical evidence thereof for a set of generic enablers of innovation. These findings have suggested that the modelling of innovation at the project level should follow a contingent approach. While contingency theory has widely been applied to correlate structural and environmental attributes when the unit of analysis is the organisation, the literature on project management has largely ignored the importance of project contingencies, assuming that all projects share a universal set of managerial characteristics. This void is addressed through the development of a contingency model of the influence of secondary contingencies (project radicalness and maturity) on the importance of enablers. It represents an integrative perspective of the contextual importance of a number of enablers (and constructs thereof) that have previously been investigated and reported independently. Given that theory development in project management is still in its early years, it may therefore be concluded that the study contributes to the validity of classical contingency theory arguments in the context of the project. Although it does not consider an exhaustive list of all possible contingencies, and findings thereof strictly pertain only to process innovation, it does represent a considerable step in the evolving process of theory development on the modelling of innovation at the project level.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie poneer in hoofsaak dat die idee van ‘n enkele stel universele suksesfaktore (drywers) vir innovasie, eng is. Dit word eerder voorgestel dat die belangrikheid van verskillende drywers kontekstueel is en bepaal word deur verskillende tipes projekte en hul eienskappe. Na gelang van ‘n ondersoek na die rolle van projek radikaalheid en stadium van ontwikkeling in die bepaling van die belangrikheid van drywers van innovasie, is twee hoofgevolgtrekkings gemaak, naamlik dat (1) projekeienskappe ‘n beduidende invloed op die relatiewe belangrikheid van drywers het, en (2) die onderlinge interaksies tussen moderators van die belangrikheid van drywers dit verhoed om middelomvang teorieë van innovasie radikaalheid of stadium van ontwikkeling te formuleer, wat normatiewe verhoudings tussen die eienskappe van innovasies en hul drywers voorstel. Alhoewel sulke resultate deur ‘n aantal vorige studies gepostuleer is, verskaf hierdie studie empiriese bewyse daarvan in terme van ‘n generiese stel drywers van innovasie. Bevindinge in hierdie verband het getoon dat innovasie op die projek-vlak deur ‘n voorwaardelikheidsmodel gemodelleer moet word. Alhoewel voorwaardelikheidsteorie algemeen gebruik word om strukturele en omgewingseienskappe op organisatoriese vlak te korrelleer, het die projekbestuur-literatuur tot dusver grootliks die belangrikheid van projekvoorwaardelikhede geïgnoreer deur aan te neem dat alle projekte ‘n universele stel bestuurseienskappe deel. Hierdie leemte word geadresseer deur die ontwikkeling van ‘n voorwaardelikheidsmodel vir die invloed van sekondêre voorwaardelikhede (projek radikaalheid en stadium van ontwikkeling) op die belangrikheid van drywers. Dit verteenwoordig ‘n geïntegreerde perspektief van die kontekstuele belangrikheid van ‘n aantal drywers (en konstrukte daarvan) wat voorheen onafhanklik nagevors en gepubliseer is. Aangesien teorie ontwikkeling in projekbestuur steeds jonk is, word die gevolgtrekking gemaak dat die studie bydra tot die geldigheid van klassieke voorwaardelikheidsteorieargumente in die konteks van die projek. Alhoewel dit nie ‘n veelomvattende lys van alle moontlike voorwaardelikhede beskou nie, en die bevindinge daarvan streng gesproke slegs betrekking het op proses-innovasie, verteenwoordig die studie ‘n beduidende stap vorentoe vir teorie-ontwikkeling in die modellering van innovasie op die projek-vlak.

The purpose of this project was to determine if it was possible to take Shakespeare's text and, preserving the language, present it in a way which would make it more accessible to a modern audience. It was also important to maintain the appropriate acting style and technique that distinguishes classical acting.

Over the past two decades, translation workplaces have been substantially transformed by technological developments (Drugan 2013; Risku et al. 2013), and by the emergence of production networks in which a language service provider (LSP) acts as an intermediary between translator and client (Abdallah and Koskinen 2007; Abdallah 2012). However, there is little research into how technologies are integrated in the various translation workplaces found in production networks. My research aims at enhancing our understanding of translation project management and translation quality in production networks by conceptualising project management as a practice (Shove et al. 2012). For this empirical study, a data set was collected based on 60 hours of workplace observations within a UK-based LSP and 10 semi-structured interviews with four project managers (PMs) and one vendor manager (VM). Drawing on concepts from practice theory, the study analyses routinised enactments of the practice by PMs, their integration of information technologies into such enactments, their understanding of translation quality, and their strategies to achieve quality in the translation production process. I propose that the practice of translation project management is deeply embedded into a larger complex of interdependent translation production practices. A practice-theoretical framework emphasises the socio-material and collective nature of the practice. My study demonstrates that project management is a joint effort between PMs and other actors in translation production. Based on an analysis of how PMs use CAT tools and an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system when they are managing translation projects, I argue that technologies are inextricably linked with enactments of production practices, and that they form part of the social structures surrounding the practice. The application of practice theory affords a new understanding of skills, or competence, in which the engagement in professional activities is vital, and in which building competence is an ongoing process. Finally, I suggest that buyers of translation products, i.e. clients, substantially contribute to translation quality, as PMs carry out project management based on the notion of translation as a service.

Managing a project is multitasking. For making this easier, a project mangaer has a lot of tools. Two of the tools that are often used are a project management model and a virtual project room. These two can be of different types in different compaies and in different culutres. In this thesis, we investigate it there is any neeed for these two tools to be combined. If there is a need, how should the combination be done?

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The logical scheduling of activities in an engineering project currently relies heavily on the experience and intuition of the persons responsible for the schedule. In large projects the complexity of the schedule far exceeds the capacity of human intuition, and systematic techniques are required to compute a consistent sequence of activities. In this study a simple model of the engineering process is described. Based on certain specified relationships between components of the model, a consistent sequence of activities is determined in the form of a logical step schedule. The problem of resource constraints receives special attention. Engineering projects are often executed with limited resources and determining the impact of such restrictions on the logical step schedule is important. This study investigates activityshifting strategies to find a near-optimal sequence of activities that guarantees consistent evolution of deliverables while resolving resource conflicts within the context of logical step schedules.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die logiese skedulering van aktiwiteite in ‘n ingenieursprojek steun swaar op die ondervinding en intuisie van die persone wat verantwoordelik is vir die skedule. In groot projekte is die kompleksiteit van die skedule veel hoër as die kapasiteit van die menslike intuisie, en sistematiese tegnieke word benodig om ‘n konsekwente volgorde van aktiwiteite te bereken. In hierdie studie word ‘n eenvoudige model van die ingenieursproses beskryf. Gebasseer op sommige relasies tussen komponente van die model, kan ‘n konsekwente volgorde van aktiwiteite bepaal word in die vorm van ‘n logiese stap-skedule. Die probleem van beperkte hulpbronne ontvang spesiale aandag. Ingenieursprojekte word dikwels uitgevoer met beperkte hulpbronne en dit is belangrik om die impak daarvan op die logiese stap-skedule te bepaal. Die studie ondersoek die gebruik van aktiwiteit-skuiwende strategieë om ‘n nabyoptimale volgorde van aktiwiteite te vind wat konsekwente ontwikkeling van die projekprodukte waarborg, terwyl hulpbron konflikte opgelos word binne die konteks van ‘n logiese stap-skedule.

The speed of launching new products will accelerate and so the complexity of products and productions systems (Sorli et al 2006; Windt et al., 2008). Change is a natural effect of product development and it offers opportunities to develop the related production (Jarratt et al, 2011; Lager, 2002). To increase the launching, simultaneous development projects with a multi-project structure can be initiated (Araszkiewicz, 2017). This results in transmitted design changes from the product development project into the related production development project. In turn, the production development project needs to manage these transmitted design changes. The study has investigated how transmitted design changes shall be managed in production development projects. This was performed by exploring theoretical fields of Engineering Change and Project Management and collecting empirical data from a studied complex production development project at Scania DT. A standardized Transmitted Design Change process is recommended to use in order to achieve better communication in-between the interdependent projects and manage change with respect to risk and without harming other processes. Furthermore, project management methodologies and its characteristics were discussed in order to support and facilitate the management of transmitted design changes. The study concludes that both flexible and traditional project management methodologies shall be adopted in these complex development projects with high levels of interdependencies. The combined strategy supports changes and uncertainties with flexible iterations and controls the projects with standardized processes and structure.
