Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2011.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 58-59).
This thesis explores the meaning of surprise in product design and how surprise can be created in the early phase of the design process, specifically during ideation. In product and service markets with multiple competitors and where product differentiation is difficult, surprise, if used correctly, can be an indispensable differentiator-creating emotional attachment and fostering brand loyalty. A two-part experiment tests three different idea generation methods-brainstorming, multiple perspectives, and counter attributes (a new method proposed in this thesis)-and how ideation sketches from these methods are rated by workers on Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Findings reveal that counter attributes may be less effective at generating surprising ideas. Brainstorming and multiple perspectives perform similarly to each other, but small differences in the structure of an idea generation method may either inhibit or encourage creativity and surprise. The findings also reveal that how clearly an idea is expressed in a sketch greatly influences the variance for how it will be rated upon review.

Full textAbstract:
This study considers the contested meaning of public education through a qualitative investigation of Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts, a charter elementary school in Richmond, Virginia. The central research question that guides this study is “How do parents construct the idea of public schools as they explain their choice of Patrick Henry Charter School?” To answer this question I conducted a constructivist inquiry that involved a series of 16 semi-structured interviews with a maximum variation sample of Patrick Henry parents concerning their ideas about the school and about public education. The analysis of these interviews led to a grounded theory of the parents’ ideas as well as a case report constructed from the categorized units of data that explores the core themes of the theory. This study also addresses two sub-questions: (1) “How do the parents’ ideas about public schools reflect the logics embedded in the larger policy discourses concerning charters and the reinvention of public education?” and (2) “How do the parents’ ideas about public schools reflect the local public discourse around the public-ness of the school?” To answer the first sub-question I use my review of literature to develop an understanding of the reform debates around charter schools and their relationship to the contested ideas of public education. To answer sub question two, I present an adapted constructivist qualitative analysis of the public discourse that surrounded the school from April 2007 – when the idea of the school was first proposed at a school board meeting – until December 2011 – a year and a half after the school opened its doors. To capture the public discourse I collected and analyzed articles, editorials and letters from six local print publications (newspapers, weekly magazines) as well as the public comment portion of the minutes from Richmond School Board meetings. This analysis resulted in the construction of two competing narratives about the school, the juxtaposition of which shed light on the how idea of public-ness was constructed in the public discourse.

Case, Karen E. "A Big Idea: The Rollout of Open SUNY." NSUWorks, 2016. http://nsuworks.nova.edu/gscis_etd/959.
Full textAbstract:
Leveraging technology may be a viable solution in the higher education industry as enrollments decline and institutions have a hard time meeting their projected budgets. One innovative approach to mitigating this problem was approved in March of 2013 by the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York (SUNY). It is called Open SUNY. Open SUNY consists of nine components: the creation and expansion of online programs to meet workforce development needs, the development of online credit-bearing experiential learning experiences, support for training of faculty who opt to use emerging technologies, support for student access to online courses, the availability of prior learning assessment system-wide, the development of a research initiative to identify best practices and offer professional development, exploration of open education resources to bring down costs for students, support for expansion of online program development, and the creation and promotion of learning commons to facilitate communication and house content.
The purpose of this qualitative bounded case study was to observe the rollout of Open SUNY from the fall of 2014 through spring of 2015 in order to describe the experience of stakeholders at SUNY’s various campuses. To triangulate the data, multiple sources were used to observe the phenomenon such as interviews, documents and surveys. Purposeful sampling allowed for all institution types and geographic areas to be included in the population sample. Data were coded and analyzed using the constant comparative method. Three themes that arose from the data interpretation were: inclusiveness, systemness, and openness. An organizational structure model was used as a framework for making recommendations based on the research conclusions.

This thesis compares four relevance feedback methods. The Rocchio and Ide dec-hi algorithms for the vector space model and the binary independence model and Okapi BM25 within the probabilistic framework. This is done in a custom-made Information Retrieval system utilizing a collection containing 131 896 LA-Times articles which is part of the TREC ad-hoc collection. The methods are compared on two grounds, using only the relevance information from the 20 highest ranked documents from an initial search and also by using all available relevance information. Although a significant effect of choice of method could be found on the first ground, post-hoc analysis could not determine any statistically significant differences between the methods where Rocchio, Ide dec-hi and Okapi BM25 performed equivalent. All methods except the binary independence model performed significantly better than using no relevance feedback. It was also revealed that although the binary independence model performed far worse on average than the other methods it did outperform them on nearly 20 % of the topics. Further analysis argued that this depends on the lack of query expansion in the binary independence model which is advantageous for some topics although has a negative effect on retrieval efficiency in general. On the second ground Okapi BM25 performed significantly better than the other methods with the binary independence model once again being the worst performer. It was argued that the other methods have problems scaling to large amounts of relevance information where Okapi BM25 has no such issues.Uppsatsnivå: D

Full textAbstract:
Fundação de Apoio a Pesquisa e à Inovação Tecnológica do Estado de Sergipe - FAPITEC/SEFamily Family farming plays a role of great economic relevance, social and environmental development for the country. Intercedidos by the inclusion of technological packages stimulated by the Green Revolution, the agricultural sector has undergone major changes to meet the demands of the market, along with the inordinate increase in urban population and proposed economic growth. This has resulted in numerous socio-economic and environmental conflicts that undermine the society relationships and environment. In this sense, the objective of the research was to evaluate the sustainability of family corn farmers farming systems in the municipality of Simão Dias-SE, using as an object of study to characterize the family farm system with monoculture of corn. The methodology is guided in literature and field research, with purpose to achieve systemically data that contextualize the production systems of the studied region and observing their physical aspects, potentialities and limits. For sustainability assessment was carried out the selection of indicators based on the methodology of the Farm Sustainability Indicators - IDEA (VILAIN, 2000) in order to establish and meet the factors that act on the environment. The properties presented in good condition and with higher levels of socio-territorial context revealing improvements in the quality of life of farmers as well as the socio-economic context. However contexts use of natural and agricultural resources management had low levels of sustainability expressing the limitations regarding the conservation of natural resources and soil management. The research also contributes to the characterization of the territory showing that the socio-economic and agro-environmental sustainability needs of conservation practices that cause less impact on natural resources and at the same time ensure productivity generating income for farmers. Through evaluation and through the windows it was possible to provide support for creation of public policies and guidelines to decision makers, especially at the local level, in order to achieve the best levels of agricultural sustainability.
A agricultura familiar exerce um papel de grande relevância econômica, social e ambiental para o país. Intercedidos pela inclusão de pacotes tecnológicos estimulados pela Revolução Verde, o setor agrícola sofreu profundas transformações para atender as exigências do mercado, junto com o aumento desordenado da população urbana e proposta de crescimento econômico. Isso resultou em inúmeros conflitos socioeconômicos e ambientais que comprometem as relações sociedade e meio ambiente. Neste sentido o objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar a sustentabilidade dos sistemas agrícolas familiares produtores de milho no município de Simão Dias-SE, utilizando-se como objeto de estudo a caracterização do sistema agrícola familiar com monocultura do milho. A metodologia está pautada em pesquisa bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo, com propósito de alcançar de forma sistêmica dados que contextualizem os sistemas de produção da região estudada, observando assim seus aspectos físicos, potencialidades e limites. Para avaliação da sustentabilidade, foi realizada a seleção de indicadores com base na metodologia de Indicadores de Sustentabilidade das Explorações Agrícolas - IDEA (VILAIN, 2000) de maneira a estabelecer e reunir os fatores que agem sobre o meio ambiente. As propriedades apresentaram-se em boas condições e com níveis mais elevados no contexto socioterritorial revelando as melhorias na qualidade de vida dos agricultores assim como no contexto socioeconômico. No entanto os contextos uso dos recursos naturais e gestão agrícola apresentaram baixos níveis de sustentabilidade expressando as limitações no tocante à preservação dos recursos naturais e manejo do solo. A pesquisa contribui também com a caracterização do território revelando que a sustentabilidade socioeconômica e agroambiental precisa de práticas conservacionistas que causem menos impacto aos recursos naturais e ao mesmo tempo garantam produtividade gerando renda para os agricultores. Através da avaliação e por meio dos indicadores foi possível fornecer subsídios para criação de políticas públicas e diretrizes aos tomadores de decisão, especificamente em âmbito local, com o propósito de alcançar a melhores níveis de sustentabilidade agrícola.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis puts focus on the points where organisations perceive, translate and implement a new organisational idea, and the implementation and translation of one specific efficiency method is studied. We have looked at how a group of small manufacturing companies have implemented an efficiency method (Efficient production/Lean Production) and how they have translated it to fit their own organisation.
The authors were interested in finding out both about the challenges and the positive outcomes of implementing an efficiency method in a company. While getting to know more about the subject, the translator’s (the person responsible of implementing the method into the own organisation) role and importance to the implementation became more interesting. In cooperation with a Host Company (HC), a decision was made to study a group of small manufacturing companies who had all participated in one of HC’s programs, Lean School for Small Companies.
To be able to make generalisations from the results, a multiple-case study was carried out. To fulfil our purpose and gain a somewhat objective understanding of the processes of implementation we decided that it was necessary to interview two people from each company, one that had attended the Lean School and one who did not, but was directly affected by the efficiency method in daily work. The empirical findings were analysed in the light of the theoretical ideas we found about implementation of efficiency methods and translation of organisational ideas.
The results of the study were in many aspects consistant with the theories found on the subject. The processes of an implementation is complex and are affected by the factors commitment of leaders, problems or obstacles, the translators role and ability to manage the translation process and, furthermore, by knowledge input.

Full textAbstract:
In the last decades agricultural production has shown a significant increase, primarily in the
production of grains. This increase occurred mainly due to technological innovations in the
field, provided greater food supply, however, this advancement of agricultural areas brings a
lot of criticism when it comes to sustainability. The practice of monoculture plantations
contributes disproportionately to the simplification of ecosystems. It damages the
environment causing water, air and soil pollution due to intensive use of pesticides and
fertilizers and it contributes to the loss of biodiversity. In the city of Simão Dias - SE, the
monoculture of corn is the strongest kind of farming among the local farmers. The
advancement of areas cultivated with maize occurred together with the insertion of
technology in the field, as the example of genetically modified seeds and the use of machinery
what has made the city the second largest corn producer in the state. The monoculture of corn
represents the main source of income for farmers from the town; this monoculture has a high
dependence of inputs such as pesticides, chemical fertilizers and machinery, in addition to the
dependence on bank credit along with a reduced labor supply. In this context this research
addressed the levels of sustainability in the agroecosystems of maize in Simão Dias. The aim
of the research was guided in the analysis of the levels of territorial sustainability, economic
and present environment in agroecosystems of corn. The methodology is based on
bibliographic references, field survey and semi-structured interviews, analysis of soil and in
the selection of indicators based on the method of Indicateurs de Durabilité de Exploitations
Agricoles – IDEA. 20 families owning properties with similar cultivation characteristics were
selected among them there were ten properties that have embraced the technology of
transgenic seeds and ten properties that uses the conventional hybrid seed. As a result, the
levels of sustainability of the agroecosystem of transgenic corn had better results in the
productivity. The analysis of the levels of sustainability per sectors has demonstrated that the
social territorial sector showed the best results for all the involved properties, the analysis of
the economic axis has shown that money investments have increased productivity for farmers
who planted transgenic corn, allowing these properties better levels of economical
sustainability. When it came to the agricultural environment the levels of sustainability were
unsatisfactory in terms of diversification, management of soils, use of pesticides and
fertilizers in all properties. The properties that have used the conventional hybrid seed
presented a critical point: a low or non-existent biodiversity preservation and lack of technical
assistance. Their agricultural practices harm the sustainability of agroecosystems, especially
in regard to environmental sustainability. evaluation of indicators of sustainability of
agricultural holdings of agroecosystems of maize in the city of simão dias/seNas últimas décadas a produção agrícola mundial tem apresentado um aumento expressivo, principalmente na produção de grãos. Esse aumento, ocorrido principalmente devido às inovações tecnológicas no campo, proporcionou maior oferta de alimentos, no entanto, esse avanço das áreas agrícolas traz muitas críticas, principalmente no campo da sustentabilidade. A prática da monocultura contribui exageradamente para a simplificação dos agroecossistemas e por consequência danos ao meio ambiente como: poluição da água, do ar e do solo devido ao intenso uso de agrotóxicos e fertilizantes além da perda da biodiversidade. No município de Simão Dias – SE, a monocultura do milho possui grande destaque nas práticas agrícolas dos agricultores locais. O avanço das áreas cultivadas com o milho ocorreu acompanhado da inserção da tecnologia no campo, a exemplo das sementes transgênicas e do uso do maquinário, tornando o município o segundo maior produtor de milho do estado. A monocultura do milho constitui principal fonte de renda dos agricultores do município, apresenta práticas com elevada dependência de insumos como agrotóxicos, fertilizantes químicos e maquinários, além da dependência de crédito bancário e reduzida oferta de trabalho. Nesse contexto realizou-se a pesquisa que abordou os níveis de sustentabilidade em agroecossistemas do milho em Simão Dias Se. O objetivo da pesquisa pautou-se na análise dos níveis de sustentabilidade socioterritorial, econômica e agroambiental nos agroecossistemas de milho. A metodologia está pautada em referências bibliográficas, pesquisa de campo e entrevistas semi-estruturadas, análise de solo e na seleção de indicadores com base no método Indicateurs de Durabilité de Exploitations Agricoles – IDEA. Foram selecionadas vinte propriedades familiares com características de cultivo semelhantes, dez propriedades que adotaram a tecnologia das sementes transgênicas e dez propriedades que utiliza a semente hibrida convencional. Como resultado, os níveis de sustentabilidade do agroecossistema do milho transgênico apresentou melhores resultados devido a maior produtividade. A análise dos níveis de sustentabilidade por eixo demonstrou que o eixo socioterritórial apresentou os melhores resultados para todas as propriedades, a análise do eixo econômico demonstrou que os investimentos econômicos permitiram maior produtividade para os agricultores que cultivaram milho transgênico, permitindo a essas propriedades melhores níveis de sustentabilidade no eixo econômico. No eixo agroambiental os níveis de sustentabilidade apresentaram-se insatisfatórios no tocante à diversificação, manejo dos solos, uso de agrotóxicos e fertilizantes em todas as propriedades analisadas. As propriedades que utilizaram a semente híbrida convencional apresentaram um ponto crítico ainda maior: a pouca ou inexistente preservação da biodiversidade e ausência de assistência técnica. As práticas agrícolas no município comprometem a sustentabilidade dos agroecossistemas, principalmente no tocante a sustentabilidade ambiental.

The Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) relationship of rainfall is one of the most commonly used tools in water resources engineering to define the design outflow. The IDF is determined by rainfall-duration recorded data, however, these data are often scarce, leading to determination of equations using disaggregated daily rainfall data. Due to insufficient data about rainfall-duration and IDF equations in the state of CearÃ, this work developed a computational program in Java which systematized the methodology developed by Fechine Sobrinho (2011) for IDF equations establishment. This methodology was based on the isozone disaggregation of rain method, allowing the establishment of IDF equations for the 30 municipalities of the Cariri region located in the southern state. The computational tool allows the generation of IDF equations from the data obtained in the FundaÃÃo Cearense de Meteorologia e Recursos HÃdricos - FUNCEME, showing great applications, such as the spatial distribution of the parameters. The systematization of the IDF equations establishment through isozone method was validated by comparison of the obtained values with existing equations on the technical literature. Correlations above 95% were obtained for the distribution functions for the employed and performed the spatial parameters

Devuyst, Danielle. "Application of Spatial and Descriptive Analysis Methods to Determine Relationship Between Hardware Subsidies and the Sanitation Marketplace." Scholar Commons, 2016. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6081.
Full textAbstract:
Sanitation marketing is an emerging approach of strengthening the local private sector to implement scalable and sustainable improved sanitation coverage in developing countries, specifically among the poor. It encourages the enhancement of sanitation market supply and demand by developing distribution infrastructure and stimulating consumer interest. Unlike interventions that provide hardware subsidies to initiate sanitation demand, financial support for sanitation marketing is used exclusively for the research and development of the market; this encourages the private sector to become independent and self-sufficient. Qualitative data suggests that while sanitation marketing projects have been successful at implementing replicable and sustainable sanitation coverage, they are not effective in close proximity to other programs that provide hardware subsidies.
The aim of this study is to determine how hardware subsidies impacted iDE’s (formerly International Development Enterprise) Cambodia Sanitation Marketing Scale-Up (SMSU) project using quantitative data collected between 2010 and 2014, and to develop an approach that best illustrates this relationship. Using their project database of 48,844 transactions in 9 provinces, QGIS 2.8.1 and MS Excel were used to determine the correlations between the NGO (subsidized) and customer sales. QGIS maps and time-lapse animations were effective in spatially juxtaposing the quantity and location of both NGO and customer sales, and MS Excel charts quantified the relationship as a function of time, identifying opposing correlational patterns.
Within the Cambodia SMSU project, the provision of hardware subsidies (represented by NGO sales) resulted in the attrition of the sanitation marketplace (represented by customer sales) when the NGO sales landed between 71 and 889 in a single month, averaging 400 NGO sales in a month. Overall, 14 districts showed decreased customer sales in the presence of subsidies, and 36 districts showed increased customer sales in the presence of subsidies. Within this study, any district with over 395 sales in one month showed a decline in customer sales. There were 106 months within this project that the NGO and customer sales had a positive correlation and 110 months showing a negative correlation.

Es gibt umfassende Beschreibungen von Methoden und Werkzeugen zur Produktentwicklung und dem Industriedesign in unterschiedlichen Methodensammlungen (Bavendiek et al. 2014; Freisleben, 2001; IDEO.org, op. 2015; LUMA Institute, 2012; Pahl, et al. 2007; Strasseret al. 2014; Vezzoli et al. 2014). In Methodenkatalogen werden diese typischerweise nach Phasen in der Produktentwicklung oder entsprechend von Expertenwissen kategorisiert. Die meisten Produktentwicklungsprozesse zeichnen sich durch eine hohe Anzahl an Iterationen aus, welche sich jedoch mit vielen verbreiteten Prozessmodellen nicht ausreichend abbilden und planen lassen (Lohmeyer, 2013). Daher ist es notwendig, ProduktentwicklerInnen situationsspezifisch mit passenden Methoden zu unterstützen (Albers et al., 2014; Albers et al. 2015). Es stellt sich somit die Frage, wie man aus Prozesssicht und insbesondere auch aus Usability-Sicht, die große Vielfalt an Methoden der Produktentwicklung strukturieren kann. Da bisherige Anordnungen hinterfragt werden sollen, gilt es zu ermitteln, mit welchen alternativen methodischen Mitteln Methoden angeordnet werden können. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt ganz konkret anhand des IDE-Toolkits die Aufstellung und Strukturierung eines solchen Toolkits und dessen Anwendung und Integration innerhalb der Produktentwicklung. Zudem soll dieser Beitrag weiteren Organisationen, Unternehmen, Designagenturen, Forschergruppen etc. eine Vorgehensweise aufzeigen, um Methodensammlungen und deren jeweilige Struktur aufzustellen. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt somit eine übertragbare Vorgehensweise, um eine nutzungsbasierte Kategorisierung von Methoden und Werkzeugen in der Produktentwicklung durchzuführen. [... aus Punkt 1]

However, the successful development of innovative products requires more than just generate ideas, other characteristics of the process must be considered. To help understand these characteristics, a Framework to Support the generation of innovative ideas based on two pillars is developed: Conceptual Modelling and Conceptual Modelling applied. The framework is based on three key dimensions: Influential Factors; Methods, Techniques and Tools for Innovation; and Generation of Innovative Ideas. These dimensions are composed of variables, which together help to guide companies in the process of generating innovative ideas. Although cannot be generalized to all organizations, the study contributes empirically to the subject of the first stage of the Innovation Process.La capacidad de innovar de cualquier organización está directamente relacionada con un flujo continuo de nuevas ideas capaces de responder a las oportunidades de nuevos productos. Sin embargo, el éxito del desarrollo de productos innovadores, más que simplemente generar ideas requiere que otras características del proceso sean consideradas.

El framework se basa en tres dimensiones: Factores Influyentes; Métodos, Técnicas y Herramientas para la Innovación; y Generación de Ideas Innovadoras. Estas dimensiones están compuestas de variables, que en su conjunto ayudan a dirigir las empresas en el proceso de generación de ideas innovadoras con más agilidad.

In the tumultuous political climate following Brexit, a new energy has been given to the idea of establishing transnational lists for the European elections. With the ever-increasing need for democratic legitimacy on the EU stage, the system of transnational lists is viewed by many as a salvation to the problem with democratic deficit within the European Union. The idea of transnational lists was voted in the European Parliament during the plenary session in Strasbourg on February 2018 but rejected after a debate on a clearly divided issue. By analysing the debate from 2018, this study aims to investigate what are the conditions, found in the debate, that could make transnational lists in the European Parliament possible. When analysing the debate from 2018, five significant conditions for transnational lists were identified. These conditions were democracy, question of federal states, the aspect of spitzenkandidaten, solidarity and the size of Member States. Interestingly, the conditions were observed to be both obstacles and possibilities for transnational lists. Taken together, these results suggest that there is an association between the above-named conditions and the failure of the proposition for transnational lists, alternatively, to a future breakthrough.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorSince 1960s a more pronounced concern for the environmental issues has expressed and susceptible to search for sustainable viable solutions and environmental protection in many countries. Within this context, the family farming manifested as favorable environment, at the socioeconomic level and environment, to the access of sustainability, rural development, food security and the fight against the inland communities poverty. The aim of this research is to analyze the sustainability of family farming in the municipality of Lagarto, Sergipe State. For this aim, was selected the Irrigated Perimeter of Piauí from Lagarto, this locality presents crops and different ways of management. Hence, was relied on the assumption that crop diversification in agriculture tends to contribute to more sustainable systems of both the social, economic and environmental point of view. The study is ruled by theoretical sources that address family farming, sustainable agriculture and the use of indicators for assessing sustainability in agriculture, from the systemic approach. The selection and analysis of indicators were based on |Indicateurs method durabilité des exploitations Agricoles IDEA|, with adaptations, which have identified the main factors that limit the sustainability in family production systems of the study area. As a result it was found that the axis of agricultural sustainability with lower average was the agri-environment, and for which one must seek improvements. Was also identified the low crop diversification in both the conventional system as the organic system, provides lower conditions of financial income in the properties. Thus, it is emphasized that crop diversification in agricultural production systems promotes higher levels of sustainability.
A partir da década de sessenta uma preocupação mais acentuada das questões ambientais tornou suscetível à busca por soluções viáveis de sustentabilidade e proteção ao meio ambiente em diversos países. Neste aspecto, a agricultura familiar manifestou-se como ambiente favorável, tanto em nível socioeconômico quanto ambiental, ao acesso da sustentabilidade, desenvolvimento rural, segurança alimentar e combate à pobreza no campo. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a sustentabilidade da agricultura familiar no município de Lagarto/SE. Para tanto, selecionou-se o Perímetro Irrigado Piauí no referido município por apresentar plantios e formas de manejo diversificadas. Destarte, apoiou-se na concepção de que a diversificação de cultivos na agricultura tende a contribuir com sistemas mais sustentáveis do ponto de vista social, econômico e ambiental. O estudo foi pautado em referenciais teóricos que abordam a agricultura familiar, agricultura sustentável e o uso de indicadores para a avaliação da sustentabilidade na agricultura, a partir do enfoque sistêmico e em pesquisa de campo. Os indicadores foram selecionados e analisados com base no método Indicateurs de Durabilité des Exploitations Agricoles IDEA, com adaptações, que permitiram identificar os principais fatores que limitam a sustentabilidade nos sistemas de produção familiar da área de estudo. Como resultado detectou-se que o eixo agroambiental contribuiu com a obtenção de menores índices de sustentabilidade, sendo a baixa diversificação de cultivos e a baixa biodiversidade, tanto no sistema convencional quanto no sistema orgânico, os aspectos responsáveis pelas condições mais limitantes nas propriedades afetando a renda financeira dos agricultores. Desta forma, destaca-se que a diversificação de cultivos nos sistemas de produção agrícola promove níveis mais elevados da sustentabilidade.

Cette thèse est consacrée au développement d'une méthodologie de modélisation et d'évaluation des performances des processus industriels semi-structurés. La méthodologie traite des activités d'un processus opérationnel et de leurs relations. Elle s'intéresse non seulement aux relations simples, mais aussi aux relations complexes exprimées dans les coopérations. La méthodologie développée est basée sur les outils IDEF3 et réseaux de Petri stochastiques. La méthode IDEF3 est d'abord utilisée pour formaliser graphiquement le processus non encore observé. Le graphe IDEF3 ainsi obtenu facilite la compréhension de l'objet modélisé et permet la description de ses particularités. L'analyse quantitative du processus est du ressort des réseaux de Petri stochastiques généralisés (RPSG). C'est pourquoi nous établissons une complémentarité entre ces deux outils, en rendant possible le passage de l'un à l'autre. Nous proposons pour cela un équivalent RPSG pour chaque composante graphique IDEF3, des règles de conversion et une procédure de construction du RPSG. Quand des activités coopératives sont rencontrées dans le processus, on les traite séparément. On formalise d'abord ces activités à l'aide d'un modèle descriptif. L'extraction des performances de ce modèle nécessite l'utilisation de la simulation. Le modèle de simulation est défini en deux étapes. La première consiste à valider un modèle partiel au moyen d'un réseau de Petri temporisé stochastique coloré. Une méthode de résolution est définie à cette occasion pour analyser ce réseau. Les spécificités de la coopération sont ensuite ajoutées au modèle partiel. Cette étape ultime permet l'évaluation des durées moyennes des activités coopératives. Le modèle RPSG est complet lorsque l'on intègre les durées des activités coopératives, ces dernières sont alors considérées comme étant liées par des relations simples. L'évaluation des performances du processus est enfin réalisable. La méthodologie proposée a été expérimentée sur deux exemples industriels : un processus de téléopération et un processus de maintenance correctiveThis thesis is concerned with the development of a semi-structured business process modeling and performance evaluation method. This method deals with activities of an operational process and their relationships. It handles not only simple relationships, but takes into account complex links expressed by cooperations. The proposed method is based on IDEF3 and Stochastic Petri nets tools. IDEF3 is first used to formalized graphically a non observed process. The IDEF3 graph obtained makes the modeled object easy ro understand and allows to describe its particularities. Generalized stochastic Petri nets (GSPN) are responsible of the process quantitative analysis. For this reason. A "complementarity" is established between the tools. To make it possible to go from IDEF3 to GSPN, a GSPN equivalent for each IDEF3 graphical component, conversion rules and a GSPN building procedure are proposed. When cooperative activities are met into the process, they are treated separately. They are first formalized with a descriptive model. The performance extraction from the model requires the use of simulation. The simulation model is built in two steps. The former consists to validate the partial model by means of a colored stochastic timed Petri net. An analytic method is suggested to analyze this net. Next, the cooperation specificities are added to the partial model. This latter step allows to compute the mean duration of each cooperative activity. The GSPN model is completed when the cooperation durations are integrated, each one being considered then like a simple relationship. Finally, the process performance evaluation can be computed. The developed method has been experimented on two industrial examples : a teleoperation process and a maintenance process

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable performance of buildings has become a major concern among construction industry professionals. However, sustainability considerations are often treated as an add-on to building design, following ad hoc processes for their implementation. As a result, the most common problem to achieve a sustainable building outcome is the absence of the right information at the right time to make critical decisions. For design team members to appreciate the requirements of multidisciplinary collaboration, there is a need for transparency and a shared understanding of the process. The aim of this study is to investigate, model, and facilitate the early stages of Building Information Modelling (BIM) enabled Sustainable Building Design (SBD) by formalising the ad hoc working relationships of the best practices in order to standardise the optimal collaboration workflows. Thus, this research strives to improve BIM maturity level for SBD, assisting in the transition from ad hoc to defined , and then, to managed . For this purpose, this study has adopted an abductive research approach (iterative process of induction and deduction) for theory building and testing. Four (4) stages of data collection have been conducted, which have resulted in a total of 32 semi-structured interviews with industry experts from 17 organisations. Fourteen (14) best practice case studies have been identified, and 20 incidents narratives have been collected applying the Critical Decision Method (CMD) to examine roles and responsibilities, resources, information exchanges, interdependencies, timing and sequence of events, and critical decisions. As a result, the research has classified the critical components of SBD into a framework utilising content and thematic analyses. These have included the definition of roles and competencies that are essential for SBD along with the existing opportunities, challenges, and limitations. Then, Schedules of Services for SBD have been developed for the following stages of the RIBA Plan of Work 2013: stage 0 (Strategic Definition), stage 1 (Preparation and Brief), and stage 2 (Concept Design). The abovementioned SBD components have been coordinated explicitly into a systematic process, which follows Concurrent Engineering (CE) principles utilising Integrated DEFinition (IDEF) structured diagramming techniques (IDEF0 and IDEF3). The results have identified the key players roles and responsibilities, tasks (BIM Uses), BIM-based deliverables, and critical decision points for SBD. Furthermore, Green BIM Box (GBB) workflow management prototype tool has been developed to analyse communication and delivery of BIM-enabled SBD in a centralised system (Common Data Environment, CDE). GBB s system architecture for SBD process automation is demonstrated through Use Case Scenarios utilising the OMG UML (Object Management Group s Unified Modelling Language) notation. The proposed solution facilitates the implementation of BIM, Information Communication Technology (ICT), and Building Performance Analysis (BPA) software to realise the benefits of combining distributed teams expertise holistically into a common process. Finally, the research outcomes have been validated through academic and industrial reviews that have led to the refinement of the IDEF process model and framework. It has been found that collaborative patterns are repeatable for a variety of different non-domestic building types such as education, healthcare, and offices. Therefore, the research findings support the idea that a detailed process, which follows specified communication patterns, can assist in achieving sustainability targets efficiently in terms of time, cost, and effort.

Fukuchi, Hidetoshi. "Begleitungsmusik zu einer Lichtspielszene, Op. 34 evidence of Arnold Schoenberg's musikalische Gedanke /." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2004. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc4519/.
Full textAbstract:
Composition for Arnold Schoenberg is a comprehensible presentation of a musical idea (musikalische Gedanke); the totality of a piece represents the idea. For tonal works, he defines Gedanke as a process of resolving the "tonal relation" or "tonal problem." Contrary to the numerous tonal examples illustrating the notion of Gedanke, Schoenberg hardly expounds on the Gedanke principle for his atonal and twelve-tone repertoires. This study reevaluates Schoenberg's compositional philosophy and aesthetics including Gedanke, comprehensibility, Grundgestalt, and developing variation in light of his compositional practices in Begleitungsmusik zu einer Lichtspielszene, Op. 34. Although Schoenberg denies the existence of a tonal problem and hierarchy among pitches in twelve-tone compositions, the registral placement found in Op. 34 indicates certain functionality assigned to each pitch-class, producing a sense of "departure and return." The approach here elucidates the "idea" of Op. 34, in which the large-scale formal organization unfolds through contextually emphasized tonal relations. This study also explores Schoenberg's concept of the multi-dimensional presentation of a musical idea. Even though Schoenberg's discussion of musical coherence is usually limited to the immediate musical surface, I believe that he was also aware of an extended realization of foreground motives in the sense of Heinrich Schenker's "concealed motivic repetition." This analysis of Op. 34 demonstrates how the enlargement of a surface motive facilitates an understanding of the relation between the parts and the whole, which is perceived as the totality of Gedanke.

"Investigating the Correlation Between Marketing Emails and Receivers Using Unsupervised Machine Learning on Limited Data : A comprehensive study using state of the art methods for text clustering and natural language processing." Thesis, KTH, Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC), 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-189147.
Full textAbstract:
The goal of this project is to investigate any correlation between marketing emails and their receivers using machine learning and only a limited amount of initial data. The data consists of roughly 1200 emails and 98.000 receivers of these. Initially, the emails are grouped together based on their content using text clustering. They contain no information regarding prior labeling or categorization which creates a need for an unsupervised learning approach using solely the raw text based content as data. The project investigates state-of-the-art concepts like bag-of-words for calculating term importance and the gap statistic for determining an optimal number of clusters. The data is vectorized using term frequency - inverse document frequency to determine the importance of terms relative to the document and to all documents combined. An inherit problem of this approach is high dimensionality which is reduced using latent semantic analysis in conjunction with singular value decomposition. Once the resulting clusters have been obtained, the most frequently occurring terms for each cluster are analyzed and compared. Due to the absence of initial labeling an alternative approach is required to evaluate the clusters validity. To do this, the receivers of all emails in each cluster who actively opened an email is collected and investigated. Each receiver have different attributes regarding their purpose of using the service and some personal information. Once gathered and analyzed, conclusions could be drawn that it is possible to find distinguishable connections between the resulting email clusters and their receivers but to a limited extent. The receivers from the same cluster did show similar attributes as each other which were distinguishable from the receivers of other clusters. Hence, the resulting email clusters and their receivers are specific enough to distinguish themselves from each other but too general to handle more detailed information. With more data, this could become a useful tool for determining which users of a service should receive a particular email to increase the conversion rate and thereby reach out to more relevant people based on previous trends.Målet med detta projekt att undersöka eventuella samband mellan marknadsföringsemail och dess mottagare med hjälp av oövervakad maskininlärning på en brgränsad mängd data. Datan består av ca 1200 email meddelanden med 98.000 mottagare. Initialt så gruperas alla meddelanden baserat på innehåll via text klustering. Meddelandena innehåller ingen information angående tidigare gruppering eller kategorisering vilket skapar ett behov för ett oövervakat tillvägagångssätt för inlärning där enbart det råa textbaserade meddelandet används som indata. Projektet undersöker moderna tekniker så som bag-of-words för att avgöra termers relevans och the gap statistic för att finna ett optimalt antal kluster. Datan vektoriseras med hjälp av term frequency - inverse document frequency för att avgöra relevansen av termer relativt dokumentet samt alla dokument kombinerat. Ett fundamentalt problem som uppstår via detta tillvägagångssätt är hög dimensionalitet, vilket reduceras med latent semantic analysis tillsammans med singular value decomposition. Då alla kluster har erhållits så analyseras de mest förekommande termerna i vardera kluster och jämförs. Eftersom en initial kategorisering av meddelandena saknas så krävs ett alternativt tillvägagångssätt för evaluering av klustrens validitet. För att göra detta så hämtas och analyseras alla mottagare för vardera kluster som öppnat något av dess meddelanden. Mottagarna har olika attribut angående deras syfte med att använda produkten samt personlig information. När de har hämtats och undersökts kan slutsatser dras kring hurvida samband kan hittas. Det finns ett klart samband mellan vardera kluster och dess mottagare, men till viss utsträckning. Mottagarna från samma kluster visade likartade attribut som var urskiljbara gentemot mottagare från andra kluster. Därav kan det sägas att de resulterande klustren samt dess mottagare är specifika nog att urskilja sig från varandra men för generella för att kunna handera mer detaljerad information. Med mer data kan detta bli ett användbart verktyg för att bestämma mottagare av specifika emailutskick för att på sikt kunna öka öppningsfrekvensen och därmed nå ut till mer relevanta mottagare baserat på tidigare resultat.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo compreender como as transformações no contexto da defesa sanitária e inspeção agropecuária entre 1996 e 2014 se relacionam com as configurações identitárias do Idaf manifestadas por gestores nesse contexto. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que descreve os processos identitários da organização por um olhar interpretativista, pelo entendimento das relações simbólicas que permeiam essa organização, observados em discursos dos sujeitos. Para coleta dos dados foram utilizadas pesquisa documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas individuais. As entrevistas foram realizadas com cinco sujeitos da organização nos meses de setembro e outubro de 2014. O método de análise foi a Análise de Conteúdo (KRIPPENDORFF, 1990) que busca investigar dados textuais através de técnicas que permitam compreendê-los com seus significados, referências, valorações e intenções. Pretendeu-se contribuir, com esse estudo, para a compreensão da identidade organizacional, em uma organização pública, no contexto da defesa sanitária e inspeção agropecuária. Os resultados permitiram identificar o Idaf como único e distinto de outras organizações e como essa identificação está relacionada às transformações do contexto agropecuário.
This research aims to understand how changes in the context of health protection and agriculture inspection between 1996 and 2014 relate to the Idaf identity configurations expressed by managers in this context. It is a qualitative research that seek to describe the identity processes of the organization by an interpretive look at understanding the symbolic relations that permeate this organization, observed in speeches of the subjects. For data collection were used desk research and semi-structured individual interviews. Interviews were conducted with five subjects of the organization in the months of September and October 2014. The analysis method was content analysis (KRIPPENDORFF, 1990) that investigates textual data through techniques to understand them with their meanings, references , valuations and intentions. It was intended to contribute to this study, for understanding the organizational identity in a public organization in the context of health protection and agricultural inspection. The results showed the Idaf as unique and distinct from other organizations and how this identification is related to change in agricultural context.

The term "Logistics" is used, in the civilian context, refer to the movement and storage of goods from the procurement of raw materials to the distribution of th finished product. Traditionally, logistics is treated as disintegrated functions separately. One reason for the emergence of logistics as a major function in modern business was the evident need for a discipline that would integrate a set of hitherto disconnected subsystems, each jealously guarded by its own territorially-conscious manager. Based on the researches over the past decade, we reveal the revolution of logistics in this study. It shows that one of the most important topics of contemporary logistics is Supply Chain Management. And actualizing the possibilities of strategic SCM requires superior, highly integrated logistics operations that are aligned and structured to meet the changes. Thus, a integrated decision model with broader scope is crucial in this subject. From the "Virtual Enterprise" point of view, a generic decision/function IDEFo model comprising of four main sub-models of integrated logistics system is presented. IDEFo was found to be a powerful functional modeling technique which minimized the need for elaborate descriptive text and its graphical presentation provided a clear representation of a complex aspect of logistics. The objective of the model is to communicate concrete value-added activities with decisional aspect that detail the flow of products and information as they move through the integrated logistics system. For performing consistency checking of the interactions between the integrated sub-models of the generic decision model, we apply the Metamodel concept. The main purpose of the Metamodel is to provide a common framework for various models in logistics. Finally, a illustrated example is provided in this study. We explore the relations between network design decision and truck routing decision part of the generic model visually. The example demonstrates a computerized application with the proposed generic model.

Abstract As scholars from various places investigate the concept and idea of “life” in “I Ching,” they tend to focus on the discussions of “Yi Zhuan” and never or seldom probe into “I Ching.” In the analyses on the issue of life in “I Ching,” there is a lack of analysis on inheritance and derivative of concept and idea of life from the perspectives of oracles-> Confucius -> Mencius -> Xunzi -> “Yi Zhuan.” Moreover, in terms of the discussions on “life,” there is a lack of discussions on “methods” for “changing the life” of people. The discussions on strategies seldom focus on factors of environmental background. As a result, the analyses and discussions of “external studies” are required. In addition, analyses and discussions can be further divided into “great tradition” and “little tradition.” During the investigations, most of the analyses and discussions focus on the application of literature with great value. However, “unearthed literature” and “archaeological data” can be used more frequently. Therefore, this study intends to further investigate the necessity of use of such data. This study analyzed philosophers’ concepts and ideas of “life” in oracles, “I Ching,” “The Analects,” “Mencius,” “Xunzi,” and “Yi Zhuan,” in order to observe whether any creative interpretations were made, as well as to find out their methods for changing life. It is hoped that the findings can be provided as reference for modern people to effectively overcome difficulties when they encounter predicaments in life. Moreover, this study attempts to clarify the transformation of concepts of “life” in oracles, “I Ching,” “The Analects,” “Mencius,” “Xunzi,” and “Yi Zhuan,” as well as to compare it to the two stages of “philosophical breakthroughs” in “pre-axial period” and “axial period,” in order to explore the mutual relationship between transformation of philosophers’ concept of “life” and time/environment. Therefore, this study intends to use the advantages of research method of “separating the text from commentaries” to investigate the concepts of “life” in “I Ching” and “Yi Zhuan,” respectively, in their time, as well as their connection with thought and culture at the time. In addition, this study intends to use the advantages of research method of “using commentaries to interpret text” to analyze “Yi Zhuan’s” developmental and creative interpretations for “I Ching.” With the integration and ii application of these two research methods, it is hoped that this study can further understand the concepts and ideas of “life” in text and commentaries of “I Ching.” Moreover, this study combined and applied “research method of history of concepts” and “research method of history of ideas” as the method and strategy for studying text and commentaries of “I Ching.” In other words, this study used “life” concept-centered interpretation method to investigate and analyze the formation and development of ideas of “life” in oracles, “I Ching,” “The Analects,” “Mencius,” and “Xunzi.” In other words, this study used longitudinal research methods to inspect the transformation and development of concepts of “life” in historical trends, as well as the inheritance and creation of traditions. This study used cross-sectional research methods to explore the external factors affecting the thought and culture for formation and development of concepts of “life” from the perspective of history/time, in order to reveal the external motivation of formation and development of concepts of “life” and its mutual relationship with environment. Furthermore, in addition to investigating the cultural background factors of “great tradition,” this study also analyzed the regional and cultural background factors of “litter tradition.” With the research methods and strategies mentioned above, it may be more likely to discover the concepts and ideas of “life” in text and commentaries of “I Ching” and Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi, as well as the meanings and values of methods for changing life.

Abstract Due to the change of industry design specialty, the current focus of design method development is on the way to assist the questions clarification, and the concept development. Being a world famous design consulting company, IDEO is well-known in the design methods they developed to identify the user’s need and clarify the design direction. Summarily, IDEO published a method card set containing 51 kinds of methods to stimulate innovate thinking, which can be classified into 4 main groups, ' learn ', ' look ',' ask ',and ' try '. On the other hand, nevertheless the IDEO method cards have obtained much attention of people so far, it is unclear about what the effect of these cards to the development of design concept and how they are used in design learning, particularly for the design student. Therefore, this study conducted an experimental design workshop to explore the usage of effect of the IDEO method card. Two design competitions are referred as the theme for the workshop. Each competition recruiting 8 design students to form 4 design pair, of which, 2 used the IDEO method cards and the others is not limited in method usage. Through the observation to the design process and examine the relation of the design process to the design outcomes, the study makes the conclusion from releasing the following results: 1.In a situation that there is design object, young designers can use IDEO Method Cards fast to be engaged themselves in the lifestyle of users, or they can use the cards to investigate users’ habits. Then they can find the inspiration from it according to the card. 2.IDEO Method Cards can guide the young designers to search from different angle of information which they can use to inspire ideas. 3.IDEO Method Cards can help young designers execute the design procedure more clearly. 4.IDEO Method Cards can give a goal and a suggestion to young designers when they are developing ideas.

idea generation in distributed engineering teams is a valid option. It is shown that the
idea generation method has a significant effect on the number of ideas generated per
team member. Further, the quality, novelty, and variety are each significantly influenced
by both the idea generation method chosen and the team member’s location, but in
different ways by the same level of each factor. Concluding, both experiments in distributed engineering teams show these teams have
unused potential that can be utilized using appropriate process, procedures and tools.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part C (2004) grants federal funding to states and territories who implement early childhood intervention programs meant to assess and treat children with disabilities ages 0-3. Although each state and territory receives federal funds provided through taxpayers, there are large discrepancies in the way each state and territory determines eligibility, assesses children, implements treatment, and measures outcomes. This report examines the outcome results of 8 states and 1 U.S. territory to consider if variables such as funding, population, or enrollment numbers have an effect on outcome results. In addition, this report looks at differences in eligibility criteria and reporting methods for each state and territory included.text

Full textAbstract:
Design idea generation is a significant part of the designer’s work and most frequently associated with creative problem-solving. However, an outstanding challenge in design is translating empirical findings or other inspirational sources into ideas or knowledge that inform design, also known as generating implications for design. Though great efforts have been made to bridge this gap, there is still no overall consensus on how to appropriately incorporate research data and external sources into the design ideas generation process. Besides, design ideas generation is a process that is rooted in personal knowledge. It is often considered a precedent-based type of reasoning where knowledge is continuously transformed to frame new insights and this creative leap across the divide is perceived to be difficult, especially for novice and student designers.
Based on the grounded theory, the author conducted open-ended, semi-structured qualitative interviews with eighteen designers, including design professors, practitioners and students to learn about the knowledge on how the contemporary designers select inspirational sources and transform them into ideas with appropriate methods in different contexts, the design mindset involved during the iterative and generative ideation process, and the criteria of evaluating design ideas. The results indicated seven commonly used categories of sources: ‘personal,’ ‘daily stuff,’ ’media,’ ‘technology,’ ‘knowledge of other disciplines,’ ‘fieldwork’ and ‘design practice.’ The methods could be allocated to three stages: investigation, analysis and synthesis. In each specific phase, designers applied different methods to cope with various sources for various purposes, depending on different situations. A general framework was built for designers to conduct a proper selection of sources and methods to transform them into the knowledge that informs design. The study emphasized the flow of inspirational sources, the relationship between sources and methods, and the transformation procedures which tried to help the designer get more scientific structure and give design students more practical guidance in idea generation.
The comparison was continuously made within the matrix structure on the matter of sources and methods selection, the role of design research and ideation process among different groups of designers in academics and practice, which revealed the knowledge and skills missed or ignored in university education and challenges in the design project development. The implications for design education were discussed, such as the development of design students’ competence, especially the skills that should be learned in a new digital society to help design education refine idea generation methods and improve corresponding techniques to discover a dynamic balance between theory and practice.Das Hervorbringen von Designideen ist ein wichtiger Teil der Arbeit eines Designers und wird meistens mit kreativer Problemlösung assoziiert. Eine besondere Herausforderung ist dabei die mentale Verarbeitung von Informationen und Inspirationsquellen und deren Umsetzung zu Gestaltungsentwürfe. Dieser kreative Prozess wird vor allem von Anfängern und Designstudenten als schwierig wahrgenommen. Trotz vielfältiger Forschungsanstrengungen gibt es noch immer keinen allgemeinen Konsens dazu, auf welche Weise Informationen in den Designprozess einbezogen werden und wie sich diese präzedenzbasierte Art des Denkens vermitteln lässt. Da dieser Prozess stark auf Erfahrung basiert, wird er oft als Präzedenz-basierte Art des Denkens betrachtet, bei welcher Wissen fortwährend in neue Erkenntnisse umgeformt wird. Dieser kreative Akt wird vor allem von Anfängern als schwierig wahrgenommen. Dem Paradigma der 'grounded theory' folgend hat die Autorin ergebnisoffene, teilstrukturierte und qualitative Interviews mit Designern durchgeführt. Interviewt wurden Designprofessoren, Praktiker und Studenten, um zu erfahren, wie zeitgenössische Designer Inspirationsquellen recherchieren und mit welchen Methoden sie diese in unterschiedlichen Kontexten zu Ideen umwandeln. Weiterhin werden die Vorgehensweise der Designer während des Gestaltungsprozesses und die Evaluationskriterien der Designideen untersucht. Anhand der Untersuchungsergebnisse lassen sich sieben Informationskategorien unterscheiden: Persönliches, alltägliches, mediales, technologisches Wissen sowie Wissen aus anderen Fachbereichen, aus Feldforschung und aus der Designpraxis. Diese Methoden finden im Designprozess innerhalb von drei Phasen Anwendung: Untersuchung, Analyse und Synthese. In jeder dieser Phase wenden Designer dabei verschiedene Methoden an, um Informationsquellen aufzubereiten und in den Designprozess einzubeziehen. Ausgehend von einem Prozessmodell untersuchte die durchgeführte Studie insbesondere die Einbeziehung von Inspirationsquellen, die Beziehung zwischen Quellen und Methoden und die mentalen Verarbeitungsprozeduren. Mit den erzielten Ergebnissen unterstützt die Untersuchung die Designforschung und gibt Designstudenten eine fundierte Anleitung für die Entwicklung von Ideen. Ein besonderer Fokus der Studie lag auf dem Vergleich von verschiedenen Gruppen von Designern – insbesondere auch mit Blick auf den Unterschied zwischen tären Ausbildung vermittelten Kompetenzen mit den praktischen Anforderungen korrespondieren. Darauf aufbauend diskutiert diese Arbeit Empfehlungen für die Designausbildung, z.B. hinsichtlich des Kontexts der digitalen Gesellschaft oder der Verfeinerung von Methoden der Ideengenerierung. Damit soll die Arbeit dazu beitragen, die Designausbildung zu verbessern und ein dynamisches Gleichgewicht zwischen Theorie und Praxis zu ermöglichen.

Ammunition is the key factor to exert the weapon’s power.This makes it a necessary task to store lots of ammunition for a long period by military. In order to keep its serviceability and effectiveness, military need to maintain and repair the ammunition which had deteriorated in order to recovery their serviceability. From the ammunition explosion accident news over the past 10 years, we find it potentially has high risk and uncertainty to maintain or disassemble the deteriorated ammunition. From the selected literatures, we find IDEF0 is an effective method to implement process reengineering.When it integrating with FMEA method to analysis the potential failure factor, it can improve the Safety of conventional ammunition maintenance operation. Firstly, this study build the IDEF0 modeling for the maintenance process of 105mm High Explosive Howitzer Cartridge, and divide to 4 main processes which are opening process, disassembling process, repairing and assembling processes, and packing process.Then decompose these main processes into detail procedures.According to the causes of ammunition maintenance accidents from the Ammunition Service Bulletin,this study concludes 5 category and 15 failure factors for ammunition maintenance operation by cause and effect analysis approach.After gathering the severity, occurrence and detectability data of each failure factor from experts by FMEA Questionnaire, this study obtain the sequence of risk priority number and consider the first 3 high score as improvement priorities.Then find the affected IDEF0 modeling processes, provide the suggestion of improvement and revise the IDEF0 modeling.The satisfaction survey for this study is 95%, it shows the approach from this study can exclude the main failure factors and improve the safety of ammunition maintenance operation.
