Full textIt was found that data available from government sources documenting the supply and demand for thee occupations are generally inadequate. The research underlines that one of the fundamental difficulties in compiling net supply and demand figures for these occupations is the pinning down of skill levels involved. Employers' definitions of skill are therefore analyzed.
This research indicates that organizational factors appear to influence the recruitment process as well as the choice of adjustment measures. It was found that employers dispose of and use many measures to respond to shortages. Specifically it was found that the adjustment process does not take place only through changes in wage rates. Rather employers will tend to favour adjustment measures that maintain existing arrangements within firms and preserve management discretion.

Full textThis study investigated the causes and impact of the effects of shortages of skilled artisans on contractor productivity. The objectives of the study were as follows: (i) to identify causes of shortages of skills during the construction production phases; (ii) to define the effects of shortages of skills during the production phase of a project; (iii) to examine how to deal with shortages of skills when they happen; (iv) to determine ways in which the shortage of skills may be reduced; (v) to determine whether shortages of skills cause poor contractor performance. The study was inspired by many international and local studies demonstrating a lack of concern for the impact of shortages of skilled artisans on project performance, and their effects on project time. The research method adopted for study was a survey of construction sites and staff within the NMC group in the Cape Peninsula metropolitan area of the Western Cape Province. The study collected data from 65 participants from 10 different NMC sites. The participants in the survey included Project managers, site managers, quantity surveyors and artisans on sites. The findings of the study revealed that there is lack of formal training of artisans; performance of artisans is not highly regarded and there is lack of motivation, these factors contribute to the shortages of skilled artisans. It is also evident that shortage of skills causes’ poor contractor performance and leads to poor quality of work. The researchers also found that, setting out errors occur due to lack of coordination between the main contractor and subcontractors and the lack of skills on the part of the artisans. In addition, inexperience on the side of the leading hand and / or supervisor and trades foremen and their inability to interpret the drawings contributed to rework during construction phase. A reason also given for shortage of artisans is that young people are afraid to get their hands dirty. Young people would rather work with computers than for engineering and its associated professions. It is recommended that to increase the supply of artisans some measures will have to be implemented to encourage young people to become artisans.

Full textThis thesis examined the impact skills shortage among artisans in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) field have on the industry. The rationale for this investigation is based on the view of engineers and company owners in the HVAC industry that there is a dire need to train more artisans and to improving the skills of already qualified artisans. The thesis employed a mixed method research approach and reviewed relevant literature. Empirical data was obtained from HVAC contracting companies being members of the South African Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Contractors Association (SARACCA) in the Western Cape. The study demonstrates that there is a shortage of skilled and qualified artisans in the HVAC industry. Although there are individuals within the HVAC industry who are passionate about training, their efforts cannot supply the whole industry with knowledgeable qualified artisans. More emphasis should be placed on basic education, the level of artisan training, continuous training of qualified artisans and the retention of skilled artisans. Based on the findings, the study concluded that skilled artisans and poor quality workmanship is being experienced on a continuous basis. The lack of skilled artisans and the cost implication to obtain skilled artisans force companies to employ unskilled labour. It is recommended that the industry should work closer with government agencies to ensure that training being offered by private training institutions and colleges is aligned with the industry requirements. This together with an improved education system will secure skilled artisans.

The strategic alignment of a company impacts the culture of the organization, which in turn reinforces the strategic alignment. The corporate behavior resulting from the combination of alignment and culture determines the organization's ability to handle disruption and change. This thesis explores the intersection of these two elements in the context of experience gained at Spirit AeroSystems through an internship. The importance of alignment and culture of Spirit comes to light in observing the response of different parts of the organization to a supply shock caused by an industry wide titanium and aluminum shortage. A method to analytically assess delinquent part delivery and determine the optimal balance of increased upstream labor capacity versus downstream cost avoidance is presented. This information requires a supportive organizational structure to be utilized fully, and the form of this structure depends heavily on the existing culture to determine its viability. Several organizational structures are proposed to internalize the external costs of delinquency, and the cultural viability of these options is explored. The key attributes of this viable, effective structure are control by the Fuselage customer and cultural infusion and strategic coordination with Supply Chain Management.

Full textThe focus of the study is the Eden District, George municipal area, Western Cape Province, South Africa, which was severely affected by the worst ever drought in 132 years from 2009-2011 (Bamford, 2009). The reduced rainfall impacted negatively on urban water supplies for the area. In 2009 the Member of the Executive Committee (MEC) for Local Government in the province requested that George Municipality draw up specific measures to be implemented when water resources (in dams and rivers) dropped to certain levels. Plans for possible future drought situations, periods of low rainfall, or insufficient raw water resources, have been done put in place for the needs of the residents of the focus area. The research problem of this study encompasses the assessment of the interventions put in place to address the shortage of water, particularly the implementation thereof, and the strategies and mitigations that contributed to the alleviation of the water shortage. The core objective of the research was to investigate the implementation of the water interventions (water restrictions) authorised to address the water shortages in George, in November 2009. This study employed a qualitative research approach where in-depth interviews were conducted with purposely selected individuals employed in the George Municipality Civil Engineering Services Department, and its Water Services and Disaster Department sections as they could provide first-hand information on the measures implemented to alleviate the problem and on the water shortage status. The research findings indicate that many short-term strategies provided a substantial reduction in overall water usage. The implementation of the strategies and mitigation measures were useful to the various departments in the George Municipality in tangible ways to help manage the water shortages. George Municipality should continue to market water restriction awareness to the public even though the George is no longer experiencing water shortages. The Municipality should adapt to deal with longer and more frequent periods of water shortages. Available tools (e.g. drought policy and by-laws) should be revised and adapted to establish appropriate measures under changing conditions.

Smith, Johan. "High voltage direct current strategy solving power delivery shortages to localized area of national grid." Thesis, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11838/1102.
Full textThe industrial and population growth of a nation can cause power delivery problems to localized areas of a national grid through their increased demand for electrical energy. One reason for these power shortages is the insufficient current carrying capacity of existing high voltage alternating current, (HVAC), transmission lines supplying the area. High voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines are a possible solution as they provide better power delivery than HVAC lines. New or upgraded HVAC lines, or HVDC lines or combinations of HVAC and HVDC lines are possible solutions to improve power delivery. This research investigates the various line possibilities using theory. and cutting edge frequency and time domain software tools. The challenge is how to approach this problem. What methodology or structure should be used? Thus one of the contributions of this work is the development of a strategy (flow chart), for solving power delivery problems to localized areas of a national grid through individual or combinations (e.g. parallel operation) of HVAC and/or HVDC transmission lines. The main contribution is the evaluation of a HVDC system as a solution to overcoming power delivery shortages to a localized area of a national grid. Three different software packages (two industrial and one academic) namely, PSCAD/EMTDC (time domain), DlgSILENT PowerFactory (frequency domain) and MathCAD software are evaluated for their capability to perform the simulation studies necessary to prove the possible solutions given in the developed flow chart. The PSCAD/EMTDC software package is evaluated for integrated HVAC/HVDC load flow analyses, DlgSILENT for individual and parallel combinations of HVAC lines and MathCAD to prove hand calculations to software results. Five case studies are conducted. The first case study demonstrates a healthy system with no delivery shortcomings, the second case study portrays the delivery shortcoming due to increased localized area demand, and the remaining three case studies explore possible solutions to solve the problem. The first possible solution is to construct an identical HVAC line in parallel to the existing line.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Kikuyu over-sown with ryegrass is the most widely used pasture system in the Southern Cape of South Africa. During the winter months the kikuyu component remains dormant and cows are solely dependent on the ryegrass component of the pasture. Ryegrass has a low growth rate (25 - 30 kg DM ha-1 day-1) during the winter and early spring months (June - September), resulting in roughage shortages. There are various strategies that can be adopted to overcome these shortages. Most commonly, lucerne hay is bought in. The cost (R 1800 - R 2400 ton-1), however, is high and all farms do not have the capacity to store hay in large quantities. Significant wastages occur when feeding lucerne in ring feeders or feed troughs. Silage made of surplus grass, maize or cereal crops can also be fed. Many farms do not have the implements required for ensiling and due to financial pressure, most farms are at full capacity and as such no surplus pasture is available for ensiling. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a high fibre concentrate supplement and restricted pasture intake strategy could be followed to overcome roughage shortages during the winter months. Forty eight lactating Jersey cows were blocked according to 4 % fat corrected milk yield (19.1 ± 2.2 kg day-1 (±s.d.)), days in milk (104 ± 62.7) and lactation number (4.4 ± 1.8). Cows within blocks were then randomly allocated to one of the three treatments. Treatments were defined according to the amount of a high fibre concentrate supplement that was allocated as well as the level of pasture allocated: Treatment 1 - Low concentrate treatment (LC) received 4 kg concentrate cow-1 day-1 and 10 kg DM pasture cow-1 day-1; Treatment 2 - Medium concentrate treatment (MC) received 7 kg concentrate cow-1 day-1 and 7 kg DM pasture cow-1 day-1; Treatment 3 - High concentrate treatment (HC) received 10 kg concentrate cow-1 day-1 and 5 kg DM pasture cow-1 day-1. Eight ruminally cannulated Jersey cows were used in the rumen study portion of the trial. These cows were divided into two groups of four and were allocated to the MC and LC treatments. They were used in a cross-over design, where all cows were subjected to both treatments. The metabolisable energy, crude protein and neutral detergent fibre contents of the high fibre concentrate supplement was 10.9 MJ kg-1, 145 g kg-1 and 231 g kg-1, respectively. Cows of the three treatments grazed separately, allowing for the restriction of pasture intake according to treatments specifications. The average daily milk yield and milk fat content of treatments LC, MC and HC was 16.2a, 17.3ab and 18.1b kg day-1 (P < 0.05) and 4.91a, 4.96a and 4.58b % (P < 0.05), respectively. The average stocking rate for treatment LC, MC and HC was 5.07a, 6.07b and 7.64c cows ha-1 respectively. Thirty seven percent of pasture was saved on the HC treatment strategy compared to the LC treatment. Cows gained body weight during the study at a rate of 0.62a, 0.28b and 0.27b kg day-1 (P < 0.05) for the LC, MC and HC treatments, respectively. None of the hourly rumen pH values differed between treatments LC and HC. The rumen pH of cows on treatment LC did, however, spend a longer time below pH 6.0 and pH 5.8 compared to the rumen pH of cows on treatment HC (P < 0.05). The digestibility of dry matter and neutral detergent fibre of pasture of cows on treatment LC and treatment HC at 30 hours of incubation was 82.3 and 73.5 % (P < 0.05) and 43.5 and 39.2 % (P < 0.05), respectively. The results show that winter roughage shortages can be managed by feeding higher levels of a high fibre concentrate supplement and restricting pasture intake, although a decrease in milk fat content can be expected.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kikoejoe, oorgesaai met raaigras, is die mees algemene weidingstelsel in die Suid-Kaap van Suid-Afrika. Tydens die wintermaande is die kikoejoe-komponent dormant en diere is afhanklik van die raaigras-komponent. Raaigras het ‘n lae groeitempo (25 - 30 kg DM ha-1 dag-1) gedurende die winter- en vroeë lentemaande (Junie - September) en dit lei tot ruvoertekorte. Daar is verskeie strategieë wat toegepas kan word om die ruvoertekorte te oorkom. Die gewildste is die aankoop van lusern hooi, alhoewel die prys (R 1800 - R 2400 ton-1) die gebruik daarvan beperk. Boere het ook nie altyd die kapasiteit om groot hoeveelhede lusern te stoor nie en baie hooi word vermors as koeie dit uit hooivoerders en voerbakke vreet. Kuilvoer wat gemaak word van surplus weiding, mielies of graangewasse kan ook gebruik word. Baie boere het nie die implemente om kuilvoer te maak nie en as gevolg van finansiële druk, funksioneer die meeste plase reeds op vol kapasiteit en is daar dus nie altyd voldoende surplus ruvoer waarvan kuilvoer gemaak kan word nie. Die doel van hierdie studie was om te bepaal of ‘n hoë-vesel kragvoer en beperkte weiding-inname gebruik kan word om ruvoertekorte gedurende die wintermaande te oorkom. Agt-en-veertig lakterende Jerseykoeie is geblok volgens 4 % vet-gekorrigeerde melkopbrengs (19.1 ± 2.2 kg dag-1(±s.d.)), dae in melk (104 ± 62.7) en laktasie nommer (4.4 ± 1.8). Koeie binne blokke is vervolgens ewekansig aan een van drie behandelingsgroepe toegeken. Die groepe is gedefinieer volgens die hoeveelheid hoë-vesel kragvoer en weiding wat toegeken is: Behandelingsgroep 1 - Lae-vesel kragvoergroep (LC) het 4 kg kragvoer koei-1 dag-1 en 10 kg DM weiding koei-1 dag-1 ontvang; Behandelingsgroep 2 - Medium-vesel kragvoergroep (MC) het 7 kg kragvoer koei-1 dag-1 en 7 kg DM weiding koei-1 dag-1 ontvang; Behandelingsgroep 3 - Hoë-vesel kragvoergroep (HC) het 10 kg kragvoer koei-1 dag-1 en 5 kg DM weiding koei-1 dag-1 ontvang. Agt rumen gekanuleerde Jerseykoeie was gebruik in die rumen studie gedeelte van die proef. Die koeie was verdeel in twee groepe wat dan aan die LC en HC behandelings groepe toegeken is in ’n omslag ontwerp met twee behandelings en twee periodes. Die metaboliseerbare energie, ruproteïen en neutraal bestande veselinhoud van die hoë-vesel kragvoer was 10.9 MJ kg-1, 145 g kg-1 en 231 g kg-1 onderskeidelik. Die drie behandelingsgroepe het apart gewei, sodat weidingtoekenning beperk kon word en weidinginname bepaal kon word. Die gemiddelde daaglikse melkopbrengs en melk vet % van behandelingsgroepe LC, MC en HC was 16.2a, 17.3ab en 18.1b kg dag-1 (P < 0.05) en 4.92a, 4.96a en 4.58b% (P < 0.05) onderskeidelik. Die gemiddelde veelading van behandelingsgroepe LC, MC en HC was 5.07, 6.07 en 7.64 koeie ha-1 onderskeidelik. Volgens die strategie van die HC behandelingsgroep strategie is sewe-en-dertig persent weiding bespaar, in vergelyking met die LC behandelingsgroep. Koeie in behandelingsgroepe LC, MC en HC het in massa toegeneem gedurende die studie teen ‘n tempo van 0.62, 0.28 en 0.27 kg day-1 (P < 0.05), onderskeidelik. Rumen pH-waardes het nie tussen behandelingsgroepe LC en HC verskil nie. Behandelingsgroep LC se rumen pH was vir ’n langer periode onder pH 6.0 en pH 5.8 as in die geval van behandeling HC. Die verteerbaarheid van droëmateriaal en neutraalbestande vesel van wieding van koeieop behandelingsgroepe LC en HC na 30 ure van inkubasie was 82.3 en 73.5 % (P < 0.05) en 43.5 en 39.2 % (P < 0.05), onderskeidelik. Die resultate dui daarop dat winter ruvoertekorte bestuur kan word deur die voeding van hoër vlakke hoë-vesel kragvoer en die beperking van weidinginname, hoewel ‘n afname in melk vet % verwag kan word.

Full textNär alltför många har råd med alltför lite, kan man hävda att en bostadsmarknad fungerar felaktigt. I Storbritannien och Sverige råder bostadsbrist i storstäderna, vilket belastar låginkomsttagare och skapar en sämre grund för social hållbarhet. Med hänsyn till ämnen så som olika förflutna, politiska ideologier och politik, kan Sverige och Storbritannien i första hand tyckas vara ganska olika, vilket resulterar i förväntningar efter två "distinkta" bostadskriser. Dock, efter en grundligare undersökning är genomförd, kanske situationen uppfattas annorlunda. Kanske är det till och med möjligt att lösa de brittiska och svenska bostadskriserna med samma lösningar, så som det heter på engelska; two birds with one stone. Syftet med denna avhandling är att: analysera och jämföra historien rörande bostadssituationen i Sverige och Storbritannien, identifiera utmaningar, presentera några alternativ för att lösa dagens kriser samt att diskutera hur dessa kriser bör lösas så att en hållbar morgondag blir uppnådd i båda länderna. För att undersöka detta, ställdes de fyra frågorna: 1. Har Storbritannien och Sverige ett liknande förflutet vad gäller bostäder och har dessa bidragit till dagens kriser? 2. Finns det liknande utmaningar berörande bostäder i Storbritannien och Sverige 3. Finns det samma lösningar på bostadskriserna i Storbritannien och Sverige? 4. Vilka är de mest effektiva alternativen för att uppnå en hållbar framtid? ; vilka försöktes besvaras. Avsikten är att denna avhandling kommer vara till nytta för bostadsdebatten i båda länderna, planerare, professionella och beslutsfattare samt intresserade och påverkade lekmän på jakt efter kunskap om den verklighet de står inför. Genom att undersöka hur den brittiska och svenska bostadssituationen tidigare sett ut, från 1946 till 2018, politiken under ”välfärdsstatens”, ”det liberala samhällets" och "staten i kris" eror, har utmaningarna för att uppnå en billigare morgondag formulerats. För att hitta möjliga alternativ för att möta dessa utmaningar, intervjuades fem experter i Storbritannien, vilket ledde fram till de fyra alternativen: de marknadsliberala; sänka byggkostnader och bygga mindre bostäder, samt de sociala; lokala myndigheters bostadsbyggande / kommunalt bostadsbyggande och politiska förändringar för att öka markers sociala värden vid utveckling. Efter att ha analyserat för- och nackdelar med dessa alternativ diskuterades deras effekt på ökad köpkraft och social hållbarhet, att förhindra ytterligare avregleringar och privatiseringar av bostadsmarknaderna samt att investera mer i landsbygden. De slutliga rekommendationerna och slutsatserna fastställer att politiken i båda länderna behöver ändras om dessa bostadskriser verkligen ska lösas och långsiktig hållbarhet på bostadsmarknaden uppnås. För att få överkomliga priser och stabila bostadsmarknader skulle attityder och politik i hela samhället behöva förändras mot att betrakta hem mer som en mänsklig rätt snarare än en vara. En annan slutsats är att lokala myndigheter / kommuner tidigare har visat sig vara kapabla bostadsutvecklare, vilket de kan bli igen men bara om de rådande systemen förändras.

Full textInformation and Communication Technology is a mixed set of technological tools and resources used to create and manage information. It involves technologies such as radio, television, video, DVD, telephone (both fixed line and mobile phones), satellite systems, computer (network hardware and software) as well as the tools and services associated with these technologies. ICT is increasingly seen as a major enabler of efficiencies and a catalyst for innovations. With adequate skills to effectively use ICT, it can also prove to be a foundation upon which sustainable socio-economic developments can be built. The problem in South Africa, however, is that of a severe shortage of technical skills in the ICT sector. The paradox is that despite the efforts at national, provincial and organisational levels to redress the shortage of skills, the problem persists. The aim of this study thus, was to understand the magnitude of skills shortages in under-developed areas of the Eastern Cape, so as to inform corrective measures. The Actor Network Theory (ANT) was used mainly as an analytical framework to analyse the problem of e-Skills shortages in South Africa. ANT helped in framing the context of the problem. It offered useful lenses of viewing the e-Skills development phenomenon as a network of stakeholders (actors), subjects (actants), processes and a determinant of information flows within the e-Skills development network. The study was mostly descriptive (and partly explanatory), seeking to clarify the status quo, the causes, and ultimately, to explore appropriate solutions. The interpretive approach was followed to conduct qualitative research. In this instance, a purposive sampling method was used to draw participants mainly from un/employed grade 12 (grade 12) graduates of 26 participants, consisting of 18 to 35 years of age. Participants were also drawn from high-level management in the training and development organisations and local employers of ICT graduates of Centane and Butterworth villages in the Eastern Cape. Content analysis technique was used to analyse and interpret data. Findings do reflect a severe lack of basic ICT skills, with causal factors varying from a lack of awareness about ICT careers, to a lack of access to ICT tools, with the majority of the affected grade 12 graduates neither being employed nor doing any tertiary studies. It is therefore recommended for the government to revisit the e-Skills policy and its implementation structures in rural areas. The Department of Education (DoE) in the Eastern Cape should also create educational networks that will provide remote schools with low cost, but high performance Internet access. A re-look into the general quality of education in rural areas is also urgent.

Full textWater is an essential resource for the social and economic development and to maintaining healthy ecosystems. Due to its economic and social importance is a source of social conflict between the sectors interested in acquiring it and enjoy it, being the lean season far more conflict. So, as a way to harmonize conflicting interests among sectors, this study aimed to investigate and develop financial mechanisms for climate risk management in water resources based on index-based insurance associated option contract and financial background to enable minor variations in resource prices water tended as the principle of compensation to users for transfer when the water supply disruption. The valuation methodology of financial resources that met the sectors was the quantification of economic resources transferred from the equations of specific benefits of sectors. The amounts of transferred water was obtained through the exchange of allocation methodology: linear priorities and assessment system. Five scenarios that divided water availability between two sectors (irrigation and urban) with the following coefficients, respectively, for these sectors (0.10, 0.90), (0.25, 0.75) were simulated, (0, 50, 0.50), (0.75, 0.25) and (0.90, 0.10) for guarantees of 98%, 95% and 90%. Payments of options based on options contracts had lines similar to the negative impacts of irrigation (losses) trends, but with values below these intervals for all warranties and simulated. Losses grew to the scene of coefficients (0.52, 0.48), from which the economic impacts of the urban sector (gains) outweigh the irrigation. However, scenarios for the above coefficients (0.90, 0.10), the gain values decrease below losses. On financial background, only for scenarios with localized coefficients between (0.50, 0.50) and (0.90, 0.10), considered viable scenarios, is that this fund has financial viability, being among the scenarios simulated, the coefficients (0.75, 0.25) having the highest accumulated values. Finally, it is concluded that the economic viability of water transfers only focused on scenarios located between the coefficients (0.50, 0.50) and (0.90, 0.10). Furthermore, it is concluded that the association between options contract based insurance index released flow and financial background can contribute to mutual understanding between the sectors interested in local / regional on the need to harmonize, especially in times water more conflicting in the case, times of water scarcity.
