The iNET project was launched to foster network based instrumentation and telemetry. The program is currently implementing an operational demonstration. The operational demonstration will involve installing and using a network based instrumentation system on an H-60, helicopter. This demonstration will be used as a learning exercise for the implementation of network technologies. Specifically this paper will explore the operational challenges that are expected to be encountered while performing the installation and in the use of the network based instrumentation and telemetry system.

This is a study of the organisational change to self-managed team working in UK-based manufacturing organisations. There are few models to guide research into the organisational change to team working and this study focuses on the under-researched area of the implementation process. Descriptions of team development models imply a smooth, linear change process. Yet this strategic change involves major restructuring at an operational level and in reality is a complex and political transition process that unfolds in unpredictable directions. This research proposes a processual framework to explore team development and to increase understanding of the ways in which this transition is shaped at critical junctures. This research was based on case study data collected over periods of up to five years in four brownfield, manufacturing organisations. This data provided detailed illustrations of the major challenges facing organisations in the transition to self-management. Specifically, the research findings indicated that the change to self-managed team working was an unfolding, non-linear process and that its success was shaped not only by the congruence between team design and production setting, but also by the congruence between new work structures and supporting organisational arrangements. Senior management commitment was pivotal to the success of the change process, as were clear definitions of operational roles and required actions and behaviours. Finally, the research indicated the importance of key players adopting appropriate change-driver roles and of paying attention to political tensions and perceived threats associated with changes to traditional role demarcations. This research increases understanding of the implementation and development of self managed work teams at an operational level and the results may be of considerable practical use for organisations in determining their strategies for organisational change and development.

As the retail industry grows more popular, ABCD, a world-class electronic commerce (e-commerce) business, is increasingly building new Fulfillment Centers (FCs) to support this rapid demand growth. It is integral for ABCD to validate the installation quality and functionality of Material Handling Equipment (MHE) in these newly built FCs so operations can avoid errors. To achieve this objective, ABCD introduced the Installation and Operational Qualification (IOQ) process in late 2014. While the IOQ process reduces early operational failures, it does not completely eliminate them. Inadequate IOQ and tighter installation timelines are leading to degraded installation quality, resulting in operational issues and costs for ABCD. As the FC network continues to grow, there is a need to improve installation quality to reduce early operational issues and enhance the FC start-up experience.
This project is a part of the ABCD Operation Engineering teams' effort to improve the existing IOQ process and the FC start-up experience. This initiative consists of three main phases. The first phase - the research phase - is dedicated to understanding the current processes and problem statement. It also includes a study of available data sources to discover failure patterns across different FCs. The second phase involves developing analytical frameworks and machine-learning models to uncover the most problematic equipment in the FC. The third phase focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of the current IOQ process based on Phase 1 and 2 findings, and identifying opportunities to better the process. The thesis summarizes the outcomes from all of these phases. The project focuses on improving IOQ coverage, efficiently reprioritizing the testing schedule, introducing threshold metric for installation quality, and exploring predictive and preventative maintenance opportunities.
This thesis also includes recommendations for refining the data-gathering process to improve future model outcomes. The ultimate goal is to improve FC installation quality and enhance the IOQ process to eliminate start-up issues. The approach taken and the recommendations proposed seek to approximate the ideal state as closely as possible. Incremental adoption of these recommendations will help deliver better-installed FCs, reduce early operational issues, improve start-up experiences, and strengthen ABCD's infrastructure.

With the dramatic increase in electricity demand and the need to tackle climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions such as CO₂, renewable generation has been increased in recent years in power systems. However, highly integrating renewable generation in distribution systems raises several issues and challenges that need to be addressed and some of these issues are investigated in this thesis. This research focuses on investigating the fault ride through, the system transient stability, the system frequency response and the grid power factor of distribution systems with high renewable energy penetration based on wind and solar-photovoltaic (PV). Several proposed control techniques for wind generators and PVs are introduced in this research to solve these issues and mitigate the negative impact of these units on distribution systems. A modified control system of DGs based on wind and PV in different distribution systems is used to help to ride through faults and meet the low voltage ride through (LVRT) grid code requirements for voltage recovery. A three phase two stage transformerless PV grid connected system is proposed with a new technique to ride through faults and protect the power electronic converters. A DC chopper is added to the DC link of wind generators to enable wind generating units to ride through faults and protect their converters from overvoltages. The Transient Stability Index method is used to assess the impact of such renewable sources on the system transient stability of various distribution networks. Different frequency control methods published in literature are used for various DGs based on wind and PV to investigate the frequency response of different distribution networks with high renewable energy penetration, and a new frequency control technique is proposed for wind generators based on Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) to improve the system frequency response. The impact of high renewable energy penetration based on wind and PV with different power factor settings on grid power factor of various distribution systems is discussed in this research. A three phase two stage transformerless PV grid connected system with reactive power capability is proposed to operate under different solar irradiance conditions and improve the utility grid power factor. Simulation results validate the proposed systems in various distribution systems, including IEEE 13 bus, IEEE 37 bus and IEEE 123 bus systems.

Research has long established the under representation of women police. A historical focus on discrimination and harassment in an overtly masculinised police environment has dominated discussion, with commentators failing to take into account the most feminine of all life experiences – procreation. This research critically assesses the impact of pregnancy and maternity upon the operational policing experience. A gendered theoretical conceptual framework informs a qualitative research strategy comprising in-depth interviews with serving women constables and senior officers. Are female officers’ experiences of deployment, training and career progression negatively affected by pregnancy, maternity and care responsibilities? An acceptance that police organisations are not gender neutral permits a feminist, contextualised approach, which seeks to establish the reality of managing pregnant and newly maternal women in policing. Findings suggest that female officers’ deployment and progression are significantly impacted by pregnancy and maternity. Police career structures remain dictated by dominant masculine values, which reinforce development structures built on the male life cycle. A risk averse culture to managing pregnancy was apparent. Pregnancy, breastfeeding and child-friendly flexible working necessitate multiple individual role moves, especially for uniformed officers. This restricts the use and development of women’s policing skills. A masculinised police culture appears resistant to family-friendly policies, despite evidence that such policies can be managed successfully in practice. Conceptions of operational career success are heavily gendered. The male body, which does not bear the responsibility of reproduction, remains the standard template. It is argued that it is not being a woman but being a mother that restricts the progression of women police. Progression pathways must acknowledge the female life cycle and adapt practices and policies to welcome this important difference if police services are to succeed in increasing female representation across all levels of their organisations.

The Indian power system is expected to integrate large amounts of renewable energy resources in the near future. However, the characteristics of renewable energy resources differ greatly from conventional energy resources. Integrating large quantities of renewable resources therefore warrants enhancements and modifications to current practices as the current Indian power system lacks sufficient operational services that protect the grid against contingencies. This dissertation aims to analyze the operational and flexibility needs of the Indian grid to accommodate diverse and new energy sources. The first part of the dissertation analyzes the operational issues in the current power system. The Indian power system is restricted to a few services to support grid operation, which is primarily balancing demand and supply, in real-time. The different enhancements to the current balancing mechanism have varying impacts on the demand and supply balance, and this is reflected in the grid frequency. Therefore, the grid frequency under different balancing mechanism is modeled to understand the impacts. The results indicate that improving primary frequency response from generators along with a revision of the current prices is the most effective strategy. Next, given the current conditions that exist in the grid, a feasible load balancing mechanism is analyzed to understand the related benefits and costs. While the first part of the dissertation analyzes grid level impacts of different balancing mechanisms, the second part explores a service that should be implemented by the electric system operator to support grid balancing. The results indicate that the proposed mechanism is beneficial in reducing real-time emergency events by 55% at a power purchase cost increase of 3.5%. In addition to services, the system operators and regulators must ensure that there are sufficient flexible resources that can support the variability and uncertainty in the grid. The third part of the dissertation analyzes the impact of different generation scenarios on power system operation and reliability. The section highlights the need for flexible resources to counter the uncertainty and variability of renewable energy resources. In essence, the dissertation aims to encourage a rigorous approach to planning and policy making with regards to renewable energy integration.

Ce travail vise à faire ressortir les enjeux de la diversité culturelle et de la pluralité linguistique face à la volonté d’émergence des pays francophones du Sud, exprimée au lendemain des années 2000. La déconstruction et la reconstruction des concepts d’émergence, de diversité culturelle, de pluralité linguistique, de solidarité, de développement et de gouvernance mondiale, sous les différents angles de la littérature politique, de l’économie politique, de la philosophie politique et des Relations internationales ont été nécessaires. Cette étape nous permet de mieux cerner le comportement de la Francophonie, ainsi que celui des pays francophones du Sud au sein de la mondialisation au cours de ces dernières décennies. Une évaluation comparative a été réalisée dans un contexte de recherche-action, et suivant une approche pluridisciplinaire, et a finalement permis de constater le niveau de retard enregistré et présent au sein de ces pays francophones du Sud dans les environnements politique, économique, social et culturel. Ce retard se caractérise par un modèle de gouvernance sociétale incorrecte, un modèle de financement de l’économie du développement basé sur de mauvais fondements, une absence de politique linguistique adaptée, une présence de textes constitutionnels en déphasage total avec l’avancée de la mondialisation, et au bout de l’histoire, une véritable réponse de la Francophonie toujours attendue. Quelles sont les conditions nécessaires aujourd’hui et demain pour rattraper effectivement ce retard enregistré au sein des pays francophones du Sud ? Comment pourrait réagir la Francophonie face à cette situation délicate ? Quelques propositions sont présentées au terme de cette recherche qui se propose d’aller au-delà des enjeux de la diversité culturelle et de la pluralité linguistique, pour poser des bases d’une redistribution équitable des cartes au sein de la mondialisation actuelle et future, au nom du respect du principe de diversité, de la solidarité effective, de l’universalisme pratique et de l’humanisme opérationnel
This work aims to highlight the challenges of cultural diversity and linguistic plurality, facing the willingness emergence of the Southern Francophone countries, expressed after year 2000. Deconstruction and reconstruction of the concepts of emergence, cultural diversity, linguistic plurality, solidarity, development and global governance, under the different views of political literature, political economy, political philosophy and international relations were necessary. A step to better apprehend the behavior of the Francophonie within globalization, as well as Southern francophone countries over recent decades. A comparative evaluation was conducted in a context of action-research and following a multidisciplinary approach, which ultimately shows the level of the political, economic, social and cultural environments delays which are present in these southern Francophone countries. This delay which is characterized by an incorrect societal governance model, a financing of the economic development model based on poor foundations, lack of suitable language policy, and a presence of constitutional texts on complete phase shift with the advance of globalization. Thus, at the end of the story, a real feedback for the Francophonie is still awaited. What are today’s and tomorrow’s conditions in order to actually catch up the delay recorded in the Southern French-speaking countries? How could Francophonie react in front of this intricate situation? Some proposals are presented at the end of this research, which intends to go beyond issues of cultural diversity and linguistic plurality, as a way to lay the foundations of fair cards redistribution in the current and future of globalization, on behalf of the diversity principles, effective solidarity, practical universalism and operational humanism

Several crises in many countries of the world are causing large migratory fluxes towards the most developed countries. The importance of migrants’ reception, acceptance and integration is increasing. The last phase of migration process concerns migrants’ integration, i.e. the process that start with migrants being accepted in the hosting country and end with migrants being completely integrated, i.e. autonomous both from an economic and a social point of view. Since this integration process is being slow and difficult, this research has two main objectives. The first one is to explore all the operations conducted by the organisations involved in the migrants’ integration process; the second one is to investigate about all the organisational factors that may have an impact on the integration process, with the purpose of improving it. Improving the integration process means being able to deliver services that are adequate to satisfy the migrants’ needs and expectations. With this exploratory purpose, two case studies have been conducted, in which two organisations involved in delivering services for migrants’ integration were analysed. At the end of the case studies analysis, a final framework was developed. It was found that the most important factors affecting the migrants’ integration are related to organisational capabilities, practices related to services co-design and co-creation, cooperative networks with other organisations and contextual factors like the social context in which they operate. The theoretical background about cooperative networks and operational improvement programs was crucial in order to identify these organisational factors that affect migrants’ integration.

Abstract After joining the WTO in 2002, the Financial Institutions in Taiwan has to face global competition. Both the government and the business sector understand the urgency in facing the changes and the importance of making adjustment of the financial industry. As a consequence, the Financial Institutions Merger Act was enacted in 2000 for the purpose of expanding the economies of scale of local banks through merger and acquisition. In addition, six other financial-related laws were amended or enacted in 2001. Among them, the Financial Holding Companies Act (hereinafter referred to as “FHCA”) provides that financial holding companies may be set up and cross-sector business activities may be engaged for the purpose of enhancing the competitiveness of financial institutions. However, the existence of financial holding companies can really meet the overall challenges and respond effectively? Can it bring the effects of synergy into full play and achieve the so called 3C effects, cross selling, cost saving and capital deployment? It is a very interesting question worth in depth discussion. The cross-sector operating models in the financial industry may be divided into four types: strategic alliance, establishment of subsidiary, universal banking, bank holding company or financial holding company. The FHCA in Taiwan is modeling after the structure of U.S. Financial Modernization Act of 1999. It has been ten years since the enactment of FHCA. Sixteen financial holding companies have been established under the FHCA. Does the financial policy and goal of FHCA have been served? Does the content of FHCA require further amendment? The main topics of this thesis will be concentrated on the operational synergy and cross-sector business of Financial Holding Companies. This thesis is divided into six parts. Chapter I deal with the motivation and research methods of this thesis. Chapter II brings up the history of regulation and de-regulation of the financial industry for the purpose of understanding the background we discussed. Chapter III introduces the legal structure of cross-sector operating models of the financial industry in U.S., Japan and United Kingdom. Chapter IV illustrates the contents and the characteristic of FHCA and reviews the effects of the profit-making synergy of the Taiwanese financial holding companies. Chapter V considers the relevant legal issues caused by cross-sector operation, such as the compulsory transformation, separation of banking and commerce, merger and acquisition, enforcement of the Personal Information Protection Act and loopholes in the relevant laws and regulations in the supervision of financial institutions. At the end of this thesis, several suggestions are made, recommending that Taiwan should adopt different cross-sector operating models to strengthen the profit-making synergy and competitiveness of Taiwan’s financial holding companies.

In response to the liberalization of global telecommunications and observance of undertakings for accession to World Trade Organization (WTO), a national telecommunication company was established to replace the government controlled telecommunication monopoly by referring to the experiences of industrialized countries. The liberalization of telecommunications was phased in 1997 in relaxation of the wireless mobile telecommunications businesses till 2000 for relaxation of investment in facilities-based service, which is called the fix network operator at present stage. The business triggers the redistribution of these very few resources by taking advantage of natural resources, such as radio frequency and operation on very few lands, in the process of government controlled monopoly through to oligopoly that relaxes the market territory. The conflict of interests cannot be avoided growing, yet the dilemma of redistributing resources is even more difficult to handle, comparing to that of resource distribution. For instance, the facilities based channels are monopoly that the business owners have to build up their own channel facilities with zero albeit the relaxation of fix network operation. Each business is required to establish with paid-up capital of forty billion new Taiwan dollars and with a minimum system capacity of a million phone’s numbers or ports, and to start business with 150 thousand phone’s numbers at the threshold of operation in order to achieve the goal set by the government that broadband network shall be widely established. Under such circumstances, the business owner shall finish the layout of facilities channel and broadband networks within the specified time frame. At this stage, the incumbent business owners who own the majority of infrastructure become the market dominator, while the entrants encounter the challenge of establishing new infrastructure and fail to cross the threshold of market possession, therefore, the disputes arise. The specifications for the telecommunication infrastructure in the Republic of China are established in accordance with the EU network and operation on sharable facilities. With a view of the uniqueness concerning the time frame and adopted measures for liberalization of telecommunications industry in this country, and in consideration of nationalization of foreign laws, it is required to conduct study in-depth and widely on local telecommunication market and its environment. So, the study to explore this issue. The study is conducted based on analysis and argument in four areas and come to conclusion as follows: 1. Induction in the disputes on operation in “telecommunication facilities” (construction, use and maintenance): the study attempts to discover the essential qualities of “telecommunication facilities” based on its “originality”, the causes that the issues incur, and classification of various “sharable” basic and changeable type telecommunication facilities according to “Type” methodology. 2. Assumption and analysis on major operational issues of sharable “telecommunication facilities” in the process of telecommunication liberalization. The management issues are set in respect of: (1) property right; (2) scarcity of resources; (3) public interest; (4) operational efficiency; (5) fair play. 3. Proposition of principles for recognition and review: based on the five operational issues as mentioned in previous paragraph, the following four principles for recognition and review will be induced and proved: (1) absolutely sharable; (2) flexibly sharable; (3) non-declinable sharable; (4) non-sharable. 4. Based on the recognition of “Type” specified in previous paragraph, a system of perational structure for “sharable telecommunication facilities” will be proposed: such as a sharable infrastructure being established on basis of existing sharable facilities and newly constructed facilities, and procedure for inference and implementation on business sharing, as well as the code for sharable and cooperative duties and obligations for business owners. The study is conducted on the issues regarding the operation of construction, use and maintenance of sharable telecom facilities in the process of liberalization of telecommunications in this country in terms of operational system. The study attempts to explore and analyze the operational issues, and propose a system of “operational structure for sharable telecom facilities” that might decrease the disputes among business owners and facilitate to establish a fair play environment through liberalization.

The prevention of environmental deterioration and the concept of sustainable development has become a major concern worldwide. However, increasingly affluent lifestyles along with continual commercial and industrial growth have led to the rapid increase in waste production (Renoua et al., 2008). The most common method of dealing with this production of waste is the disposal thereof by landfill, although this technique is widely viewed as unsustainable. Landfilling is critical to integrated waste management in South Africa due to its simplicity and cost effectiveness (Allen, 2001). Thus, there is a great need for environmentally acceptable landfill management practices. This research is primarily concerned with landfill management strategies and their effect on operational and management issues. A comparative analysis of the Marie Louise and Rooikraal landfill sites was carried out to distinguish differences in landfill management strategies and their outcome on operational and management issues. A concept, indicator, variable approach was used as comparative framework, while external audit reports, landfill management plans, and interviews were used as data sources identifying indicators and variables for analysis. Findings revealed that the Rooikraal landfill has been performing at a high standard, while the Marie Louise landfill has been underperforming due to a number of management failures. Factors that could have contributed to this failure include: external factors and its strain on effective management, capacity of local governments to deliver services with regard to waste management, issues surrounding co-operative governance, legal enforcement and compliance, and lack of control and awareness over landfill operations. These issues are direct consequences of landfill management and operation through municipal entities, making landfill management through municipal entities a key area of concern for effective landfill operations.

The purpose of this study is to probe into the organization positioning and operational issues of Senior Citizen Institute from the perspective of education and social welfare. This study was conducted by using focus group discussion method, inviting experts and scholars discoursed and combined with the researcher’s personal experiences in the operation of Senior Citizen Institute. The discussion started with the background and history of Senior Citizen Institute, its organization positioning of Senior Citizen Institute between senior education and social welfare. In addition examine the problems Senior Citizen Institute encountered and hence the possibility of making changes. With limited senior educational specialties and government resources, the integration of Senior Citizen Institute and Senior Academy is to be expected. The results found Senior Citizen Academy was still considered a social welfare category in terms of the evolution of history, the existing system, and the participant's opinion. In view of the attributes of the Senior Citizen Academy and the provisions of the welfare for the elders, Senior Citizen Academy shall be subordinate to the Ministry of Education. Currently, Taiwan’s Evergreen Institutes have the tendency to run by BOT model with the principle of operating independently both on administration and finance. Most students at Senior Citizen Institute are retired veterans and retired civil servants. In contrast, societal low status of the people rarely participated. Due to no graduation certificate resulting in low student turnover rate. Therefore, exploring the feasibility of integration of Senior Citizen Institute and Senior Academy is a new bright spot and worth of further investigation. This study presents the following conclusions based on this study purpose: 1. Although currently Senior Citizen Institute belongs to the domain of social welfare, the trend is taking a step toward to the professional domain of senior education in terms of regulation and operation. 2. There are different perspectives on the orientation of Senior Citizen Institute organization. Therefore, more discussions are needed to reach consensus. 3. Three major problems revealed after taking an analysis of current issue that Senior Citizen Institute encountered in Taiwan. They are: Insufficient tuition cannot meet operating costs, inadequate curriculum planning to meet aging students and lacking of teacher evaluation system. 4. Elderly education theory, professional basis, and practical experience have been developed. Senior Citizen Institute operation has advanced to age education institution with the feasibility; however the policy support is a must. 5. The integration of Senior Citizen Institute and Senior Academy should be feasible. However, a specific integration approach should have complementary strategies Based on the results of this study, following suggestions are recommended: 1. To the supervisor of Senior Citizen Institute a. Assistance should be provided to help organizations become independent. b. A system of subsidizing Senior Citizen Institutes should be wisely distributed. c. The right of those who under privileged to learning should be well looked after. 2. To the government operation team of Senior Citizen Institute a. Offer a variety of classes to meet the trend and needs. b. Establish a system to recruit more new students. c. Hire or train personnel with senior education expertise. d. Construct an operation model that is sustainable. e. Set up clubs and help those who have learned to continue their learning. 3. To senior education policies maker a. Integrate current policies and subsidies regarding senior education that are scattered. b. Establish organizational models and senior education evaluation systems. 4. To seniors a. Willingly to take different classes and expand learning and makeing new friends. b. Contribute to be a teacher for Evergreen Institute. c. Participate in clubs and public affairs. 5. Future research suggestions a. Local and central government management and organizing units should engage in discussions. An interactive model needs to be set up and explored. b. Future developments from the educational perspective, including curriculum design, teacher qualification evaluation and learning effects, are worth of investigating.
