Anksčiau vadybininkai, spręsdami strateginius ir einamuosius įmonės veiklos klausimus, naudojosi finansine apskaita. Tačiau finansinės apskaitos dokumentai pateikia pernelyg apibendrintus duomenis apie įmonės veiklą ir neleidžia susieti daromų sprendimų gamybos bei pardavimų srityje su gaunamu veiklos rezultatu. Vadovui sprendimams priimti reikalingą informaciją teikia įvairūs šaltiniai. Pagrindinis iš jų – įmonėje įdiegta valdymo apskaitos sistema, kurioje sukaupti ir apdoroti duomenys pateikiami įmonės rengiamose vidaus ataskaitose. Valdymo apskaita yra specifinė kiekvienoje įmonėje, tačiau tam tikroms įmonių rūšims pagal dydį ir veiklą galima išskirti būdingus bendrus metodus bei taisykles. Lietuvoje vyrauja mažos ir vidutinės įmonės, tačiau lietuvių autorių (J. Mackevičius, 2003; A. Jurkštienė, 2002; I. Zabielavičienė, 2005; V. Jagminas, 2006 ir kt.), rašančių valdymo apskaitos klausimais, darbuose valdymo apskaitos sistemų bruožai yra nagrinėjami bendrai, nepabrėžiant, kurie iš jų tinkamiausi ir geriausiai pritaikomi mūsų šalies įmonėse. Taigi šiame darbe siekiama išskirti pagrindinius valdymo apskaitos sistemos bruožus vidutinio dydžio gamybinėje įmonėje. Tyrimo objektas – valdymo apskaita vidutinio dydžio gamybinėje įmonėje. Tyrimo tikslas – išnagrinėjus galimybes praktiškai taikyti valdymo apskaitos teorines nuostatas sudaryti optimalų valdymo apskaitos modelį efektyviam veiklos vykdymui vidutinio dydžio gamybinėje įmonėje.

Previously, in order to solve company’s strategic and current problems, managers were using financial accounting data. Unfortunately, financial accounting propose too general data, how company works, and does not allow to relate decisions in manufacturing and selling with the company’s work results. When the manager needs to make a decision, the information he gets from different sources. The main is – company’s management accounting, where stored and proceeded data are given in company’s internal reports. In every company management accounting has it‘s specifics, but according to company’s measures and activities you can separate general methods and rules. In Lithuania the most common are small and medium companies, unfortunately Lithuanian authors (J. Mackevičius, 2003; A. Jurkštienė, 2002; I. Zabielavičienė, 2005; V. Jagminas, 2006 ir kt.), who are writing about management accounting, review the main features of management accounting system in very general way and do not define witch of them is the most proper and adopted in Lithuanian companies. In this paper I will try to separate the main features of management accounting system in medium company. Research object – management accounting in medium manufacturing company. Purpose of research – to make an optimal management accounting model for effective development of medium manufacturing company, after opportunities to apply management accounting theoretical aspects were explored. The main goals: • to describe definition... [to full text]

In earlier periods, Taiwan mainly focused on agriculture, and the development of agriculture is primarily affected by climate and geography. Rain amount and temperature have the most effect on agriculture, and Taiwan has a high occurrence rate of natural disasters. When farmers grow crops, they often bear major losses because of natural disasters, and this also significantly impact crop transaction prices and makes it impossible for farmers to recover their costs. In this study, pomelo was the crop chosen for study. When agriculture is faced with price risks and production quantity risks, two return risk models are established with two different production costs after taking into account the correlation of price risks that stem from the fluctuations in production cost and transaction price of pomelos in Taiwan and the production quantity and price risk that comes from loss of crops due to typhoons, droughts and torrential rain. Given these, risk models are set up separately. Meanwhile, this study considered the correlation of transaction price and production cost. In the results, pomelo of production costs and the transaction price is no absolute relationship The primary objective of this study is to use agriculture risk management analysis tools to cover loss ratio and combinations in the event of crop loss. Primary risk management tools include government subsidies, contract farming, and crop insurance. Secondary risk management tools are self-retention and disaster (use of futures, options, bonds…) risk management tools. All of these tools are used to compensate for losses borne by farmers.

Taiwan egg production is a self-industry, and raising techniques and automatic equipment have developed for more than fifty years. However, the marketing system still remains earlier “wholesalers purchase all production system”. This kind of situation causes layer farmers have difficulty to understand market information, and wholesalers still control egg price decision. Based on this situation, the purposes of this study were to develop an online cost evaluation system, and to investigate production cost, marketing and price decision way on Taiwan chicken egg. This study established a cost evaluation system on management efficiency of layer production to assist daily accounting system. The system was written in ASP.NET 4.5 (Active Server Pages.NET 4.5) programming language and coordinated with SQL Server 2012 Express database. Users can append the information of their farms and the system can quickly calculate the cost evaluation list which can be saved and compared with others in the future. In 34 users’ data, the feed cost accounts for 80.0% of egg production cost, followed by labor cost (7.9%) and chick cost (6.3%). This study concludes that egg collection field should be established in Taiwan to adopt egg quality grading system which can provide economic incentives for farmers. In addition, new type of industrial organization can integrate layer farmers and related industries by perfect contract to achieve a balance of common interests.

There has recently been an increased interest in hydrogen, both as a solution for seasonal energy storage but also for implementations in various industries and as fuel for vehicles. The transition to a society less dependent on fossil fuels highlights the need for new solutions where hydrogen is predicted to play a key role. This project aims to investigate technical and economic outcomes of different strategies for production and storage of hydrogen based on hydrogen demand and source of electricity. This is done by simulating the operation of different systems over a year, mapping the storage level, the source of electricity, and calculating the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH). The study examines two main cases. The first case is a system integrated with offshore wind power for production of hydrogen to fuel the operations in the industrial port Gävle Hamn. The second case examines a system for independent refueling stations where two locations with different electricity prices and traffic flows are analyzed. Factors such as demand, electricity prices, and component costs are investigated through simulating cases as well as a sensitivity analysis. Future potential sources of income are also analyzed and discussed. The results show that using an alkaline electrolyzer (AEL) achieves the lowest LCOH while PEM electrolyzer is more flexible in its operation which enables the system to utilize more electricity from the offshore wind power. When the cost of wind electricity exceeds the average electricity price on the grid, a higher share of wind electricity relative to electricity from the grid being utilized in the production results in a higher LCOH. The optimal design of the storage depends on the demand, where using vessels above ground is the most beneficial option for smaller systems and larger systems benefit financially from using a lined rock cavern (LRC). Hence, the optimal design of a system depends on the demand, electricity source, and ultimately on the purpose of the system. The results show great potential for future implementation of hydrogen systems integrated with wind power. Considering the increased share of wind electricity in the energy system and the expected growth of the hydrogen market, these are results worth acknowledging in future projects.

The controversy raised around biofuels sustainability increased the pressure on biodiesel producers to be as cost efficient as possible and, simultaneously, ensure the sustainability of the biodiesel. As about 85% of biodiesel production costs are attributed to feedstock cost and each feedstock has a different environmental profile, operational level decision making about feedstock selection is crucial to reduce production costs and manage biodiesel environmental performance. This thesis explores opportunities to improve biodiesel cost effectiveness at the operational level, particularly in the feedstock selection process, by assessing the use of waste-based feedstocks (Waste Cooking Oil, WCO) in blends with conventional feedstocks (palm, rapeseed and soya) and hedging feedstock purchase, whilst managing environmental impacts. For this purpose, an uncertainty-aware decision aiding tool to assess economic and environmental tradeoffs of decisions at the operational level, addressing feedstock compositional and price uncertainty, was developed. The model combines environmental life-cycle assessment (LCA) with blending models using multi-objective optimization to assess water scarcity (WSI), water degradability – acidification (AA), eutrophication (EU), ecotoxicity (FT) and human toxicity (HT) – and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions (CC). Data from different crop cultivation locations were considered: Colombia and Malaysia for palm; Argentina, Brazil and the United States (US) for soybean; and, Germany, France, Spain, Canada and the US for rapeseed. An approach was developed to facilitate the decision process that enables the decision-maker to select the best compromise feedstock blend based on an explicit overall environmental performance. Results show that incorporating feedstocks’ compositional uncertainty allows the use of WCO in blends with conventional feedstocks without compromising biodiesel technical performance. A reduction of total feedstock cost was obtained for blends with WCO relatively to equivalent (similar technical performance) blends composed only of virgin oils. The percentage of cost reduction depends on the relation among the prices of the feedstocks. Moreover, the use of WCO in the blends allows a reduction in cost variation reduction relatively to virgin oils blends because the price of that feedstock presents lower volatility comparatively to the conventional feedstocks. The differences observed in the environmental assessment of the various virgin oils systems are mainly related to water scarcity of the location, and the fertilization and pesticides schemes used in each crop/location. Results show that higher water scarcity footprint are due to both high water consumption and high water scarcity of the cultivation site. For the toxicity categories (HT and FT), the highest values are ascribed to the high quantity of pesticide used in the cultivation, while for CC, AA and EU the main contributor is the quantity of fertilizers. WCO presents the lowest values WSI, CC, EU and AA. The multi-objective analysis showed that lower CC and WSI solutions (blends) can be obtained at a lower cost if WCO is included in the biodiesel blend. The same conclusion is obtained when more environmental objectives (AA, EU, FT and HT) are considered in the analysis. The decision-aiding approach developed allows for the visualization of the tradeoff between cost and environmental impacts, facilitating the decision process when more than three objectives are at stake. This research shows that the inclusion of WCO in a diversified portfolio of feedstocks used in blending optimization models is an attractive approach to improve biodiesel cost effectiveness and environmental performance. The model developed can be further used to optimize the blending of alternative feedstocks and to assess the technical viability of other waste-based feedstock (e.g. animal fat) or emerging feedstocks such as algae. Although the tool was designed specifically for biodiesel production system, it can be adapted to other industries, particularly in the recycling sector, to support production planning at the operational level to enhance technical, economic and environmental performance of these industries.
A controvérsia gerada em torno da sustentabilidade dos biocombustíveis aumentou a pressão nos produtores de biodiesel para serem o mais eficientes possível em termos de custos e, simultaneamente, garantirem a sustentabilidade do biodiesel. Como cerca de 85% do custo total de produção é atribuído ao custo da matéria-prima, e cada uma apresenta um perfil ambiental diferente, decisões ao nível operacional acerca de selecção de matéria-prima são cruciais para melhorar a performance económica e ambiental do biodiesel. Esta tese explora estratégias para reduzir custos de produção de biodiesel, particularmente no processo de selecção de matérias-primas, ao avaliar o uso de resíduos (Óleo Alimentar Usado, OAU) em misturas com óleos convencionais (soja, palma, colza) e planear a compra de matéria-prima, e, simultaneamente, gerir os impactes ambientais. Para tal, foi desenvolvida uma ferramenta de apoio à decisão para avaliar compromissos económicos e ambientais de decisões efectuadas ao nível operacional. Esta ferramenta tem em conta a incerteza associada à composição e ao preço da matéria-prima. O modelo desenvolvido combina Avaliação de Ciclo de Vida (ACV) ambiental com algoritmos de mistura através de optimização multiobjectivo para avaliar a escassez de água (WSI), degradabilidade da água – acidificação (AA), eutrofização (EU), ecotoxicidade (FT) e toxicidade humana (HT) – e, emissões de gases com efeito de estufa (CC). Diferentes locais de cultivo foram considerados: palma cultivada na Colômbia e Malásia; soja na Argentina, Brasil e Estados Unidos; e colza na Alemanha, França, Espanha, Canadá e Estados Unidos. Foi desenvolvida uma abordagem para facilitar o processo de decisão que permite ao decisor escolher a mistura com base na performance ambiental global. Os resultados mostram que é possível utilizar OAU em misturas com óleos virgens sem comprometer a qualidade do biodiesel se a incerteza composicional dos óleos for tida em conta. Estas misturas apresentam menores custos relativamente a misturas de óleos virgens. A percentagem de redução depende da relação entre os preços dos diferentes óleos. Adicionalmente, o uso de OAU nas misturas permite obter também uma redução na variação dos custos de produção porque o preço desta matéria-prima apresenta menor volatilidade relativamente à observada nos óleos convencionais. As diferenças observadas na avaliação ambiental dos diferentes óleos virgens estão relacionadas com a escassez de água da região e o esquema de fertilização/pesticidas usados em cada cultura/local. Os resultados mostram que pegadas hídricas mais elevadas devem-se simultaneamente a maiores consumos de água e elevada escassez dos locais de cultivo. Para as categorias de toxicidade (HT e FT), os valores mais elevados são devido à elevada quantidade de pesticidas utilizados no cultivo, enquanto que para CC, AA e EU a maior contribuição provém da quantidade de fertilizantes. WCO apresenta os menores valores para WSI, CC, EU e AA. Na análise multiobjectivo realizada, observou-se que soluções (misturas) com valores de CC e WSI mais baixos podem ser obtidos com menor custo se OAU for incluído nas misturas. A mesma conclusão é obtida quando mais objectivos ambientais (AA, EU, FT e HT) são considerados na análise. A ferramenta de apoio à decisão desenvolvida facilita o processo de decisão ao permitir a visualização do compromisso entre o objectivo económico e os ambientais quando mais do que três objectivos são considerados. Nesta investigação é evidenciado que a inclusão de OAU num portfólio diversificado de matérias-primas usado em modelos de optimização de misturas é uma abordagem atractiva para melhorar a performance económica e ambiental do biodiesel. O modelo desenvolvido pode ser utilizado para optimizar a mistura de matérias-primas alternativas e avaliar a viabilidade técnica de utilizar outros resíduos (por ex. gorduras animais) nas misturas. Embora a ferramenta tenha sido desenvolvida especificamente para produção de biodiesel, pode ser aplicada a outras indústrias, nomeadamente de reciclagem, para apoio à decisão no planeamento de produção com vista a melhorar a performance técnica, económica e ambiental dessas indústrias.
