Corporate governance (CG) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are no longer voluntary. However, it has become a mandatory for every company, especially in increasing the value of the company, although there are still many pros and cons. This study aims to investigate the effect of CG practices on CSR as well as the influence of CG and CSR on firm value. The object of this research is manufacturing companies (Basic Industry and Chemical and Consumer Goods Industry Industry) which are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2010-2018. Based on the process of sample selection (purposive sampling) 55 companies were obtained so there were 495 observations of research data. There are two research models tested in this study. First, it uses CG and CSR practices as independent variables and company value as the dependent variable. The second uses CG practice as an independent variable and CSR as the dependent variable. In the first model only CSR has a significant effect on the t-sig value of 0,000 (0,000 <0.05). The second model shows that CG has no significant influence on CSR.

The importance of lithium-ion battery manufacturing is obvious in the current modern economy. As automobile manufacturers are considering environmentally friendly solutions, there are several giant lithium-ion battery manufacturer companies that have started to dominate the market. However, from the perspective of investors, it is harder for the public to understand the hidden clues behind the news and financial reports. By applying functions and indexes to the data provided in the annual financial report, the paper is aiming to analyze the potential profitability and risk within the firms to help the public with more specific and objective financial investment suggestions. The main factors that will affect the investment opinion being discussed in the text are the leverage ratio and beta asset (financial risk). Comparing the difference and meanings of these factors, the statistics would become vivid and understandable. As the conclusion suggested, every company could have its pros and cons. With higher risk, there is also a higher return accompanied. It would be critical for the investor to evaluate their level of risk tolerance and choose the company that fits their preference.

There is a need to develop human resources who can play an active role in the intense competition of international society. We created a practice in which students acquire fundamental competency by working on electrical technologies in a virtual company. By starting a mock company on their own, the first aim for students is to learn basic company management, the second aim is for them to acquire the skills required as a member of society, and the third aim is for them to gain knowledge about the latest technology in the field of electrical technology. Students learn about company management systems through participation in administrative procedures such as manufacturing, sales, personnel and accounting practices. In order to establish a company related to electrical technology, it is necessary to analyze cutting-edge technologies in each field (electric power, electronics, robots, AI, IoT, entertainment, etc.), and second-year students can begin their investigation, which is the same as learning about research backgrounds previously conducted primarily in graduation research. The mock company requires a collection of capital and performs all costs related to the business using a virtual currency called ANET Coins. Teachers make investments as shareholders or request proposals from the students' company as virtual currency holders. All information related to this practice is managed on the LMS (Learning Management System). This practice is a chance to recognize and act in various situations and will become an opportunity for reflection. The results of the student surveys regarding the improvement of competency, which working adults are required to have, showed that this practice is more effective than any prior experiences. In this paper, we show the contents of the innovation practice on electrical technologies and describe the verification of the educational effect from student surveys. This practice can be widely applied in the field of Education.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically examine existing models for cost of quality. Having identified issues and limitations of historic models, develop and implement a novel, structured hybrid cost of quality model to identify and effectively manage cost of company’s product. Design/methodology/approach A theoretical framework is proposed based on an integration of three existing, historical cost of quality models into a structured hybrid model. Subsequently, an exploratory pilot case study in a manufacturing environment is described that illustrates the value of the model. Findings The paper manages to find how a hybrid model can help identify cost of quality more accurately than the traditional models. Thanks to the new model, the author shows how gaps between product’s theoretical and actual costs can be highlighted. This allows management to drive down cost of quality and improve business performance. Research limitations/implications The model would benefit from a company-wide implementation. The present study provides a starting point for further research in the international manufacturing sector. Practical implications The framework improves the knowledge of cost of quality by providing a new case study with full results and analysis from a UK-based manufacturing company. It provides a critical re-evaluation of available literature, including the most recent publications as far as practically possible within timescale available. The study shows the importance of comprehensive cost collection if companies are to have the right data needed to manage business excellence. Originality/value The paper presents a development of the first structured hybrid model for measuring cost of quality using the strongest points of main three approaches and addresses their limitations. It gives new arguments against allocation of some cost elements within BS 6143-2:1990, resulting in recommendations for further brainstorming of pros and cons of the suggestion.

Abstract Purpose It is increasingly accepted in the food and drink manufacturing sector that there is a need to manage unavoidable food waste more sustainably. Yet to do so requires careful balancing of environmental, social and economic performance of any given treatment method alongside its technological maturity and alignment with that company’s wider business goals. The purpose of this article is to apply a novel Sustainable Waste Valorisation Identification (SWaVI) framework which considers these criteria to a case study with Molson Coors to identify whether the current strategy of using In Field Barley Straw Residue as animal feed is the most sustainable. Methods Data was collected via a series of interviews with Molson Coors in spring 2017. Data analysis used a hybrid approach combining Cost–Benefit Analysis and Life-Cycle Assessment with a weighted summation variant of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis to facilitate comparison of supercritical CO2 extraction of wax from straw, with the current strategy of selling that straw as animal feed. Results Application of the SWaVI framework suggests that supercritical CO2 extraction of wax from straw offers a slightly worse Net Present Value compared to sale as animal feed (£89.1 million compared to £95.3 million) but superior social impacts, technological maturity and alignment with company goals making it superior overall. Conclusions Whilst the supercritical CO2 extraction of wax offers the best sustainability and business case performance for Molson Coors, a range of other factors such as long-term market demand, alignment with relevant legislation, and displacement effects on supply chain stakeholders must be considered. Graphic Abstract

The manufacturing engineering technology that is widely used to integrate activities, financial management, production, and projects into human resource management is Enterprise Resource Planning. One of them is Odoo which is utilized by an organic coconut processing company in Banyumas Regency. Investment in technology often raises pros and cons in a company, where technology investment cannot immediately provide benefits. So the attitude of Human Resources and the level of user readiness for the Adoo application really needs to be studied. The TRAM (Technology Readiness and Acceptance and Odel) method is a combination of the concepts of the Technology Readiness and Technology Acceptance Model, used to determine the effect of user readiness on technology acceptance in a company with the addition of one variable, namely perceived enjoyment. The results obtained by the five hypotheses are stated to have a positive and significant effect, while the two hypotheses are stated to have a negative and insignificant effect. Technology Readiness has a positive and significant effect on Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Enjoyment, and Intention to use Odoo while Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use have a negative and insignificant effect on Intention to use Odoo. Perceived Enjoyment has a positive and significant effect on the Intention to use Odoo and is a factor that quite influences the readiness and acceptance of new technology. The results of the research can be used by companies to weigh and decide how the company is going towards technology. Considering that the cost of adopting technology is sufficient and significant, it cannot immediately provide benefits to the company, but the benefits can be felt several years later.

This paper highlights managing engineering documents electronically—that is, via a computer system on which users share files—enables all engineers to be on the same page, literally. But benefits extend far beyond what is called as version control. Those engineering firms that need to keep documents to comply with regulatory requirements find the software to be vital. Digital management prevents too many cooks (or engineers) from spoiling the design soup by ensuring only one person at a time gets to make changes to a drawing or document. Workflow management means incipient designs can pass between pertinent mechanical engineers, analysts, and manufacturing engineers at the proper time in the design cycle. The experience of the engineers at AWB Engineers, a consulting firm in Salisbury, Md., is pretty typical of the benefits of managing documents electronically. While the engineers there were doing their best to control the overwhelming number of documents, CAD files, change orders, and the like that flowed through the company every day, managers still ran into trouble.

PT. United Steel Center Indonesia-Karawang is a company engaged in manufacturing that focuses on blanking steel coins for automotive or non-automotive. The TKG and TWB departments were chosen to be the object of research based on data regarding the highest number of work accident incidents in 2021 and there are still manual processes involving humans. The method used is the HIRARC method, a method that combines hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control to avoid or minimize work accidents. There are 3 problems that occur in the TKG department and 2 problems in the TWB department. Therefore, it is necessary to update the SOP, especially regarding the use of PPE, which replaces the safety hand and safety leg with a universal size so that it can adjust to the size of each employee's hands and feet, adding earmuff PPE for noisy work, wearing a Gas Respirator mask for anti-oiling work. rust, and the use of safety hands during the input welding process.Keywords: HIRARC; Work Accident ;PPE.

There are critical issues identified with reconciling parity in supplier diversity initiatives. Supplier diversity programs (SDP) are an instrument utilized to facilitate the process. This endeavor analyzes the best techniques to develop diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) strategy to develop manufacturing suppliers. Moreover, quality control frameworks for developing supplier diversity programs in manufacturing necessitates strategic planning, which is necessary to support supplier diversity initiatives. For instance, questions that supplier diversity managers must ask include, Does the company have an existing minority supplier program? If so, what are its pros, cons, and evaluative measures? If not, why hasn't there been a supplier diversity program or why is it now defunct? Moreover, supplier diversity managers must develop, safeguard, and sustain supplier diversity programs by gaining support from leadership, create policy (institutionalize), and tie the SDP to organizational performance metrics.

The topic of the chapter “Additive manufacturing-based supply chain configurations” is about the implementation of additive technologies in conventional supply chains and the possible supply chain configurations that can be generated. As a guideline in the field of supply chain management, this chapter suggests designing the AM-based supply chain configuration according to the supply chain strategy decided by the focal company of the supply chain. Two questions are not fully resolved in doctrine: the first concerns the measurement of the effects of additive manufacturing implementation in conventional companies and supply chains: the second, the relationship between the total average unit cost and the production volume of additive products. In agreement with some scholars, quantitative approach to the analysis of the impact of additive technologies in companies and supply chains is recommended, and the choice of a simulation method for ex-ante assessment of pros and cons of additive technologies over conventional ones is suggested. The goal of this chapter is twofold: to demonstrate that the superiority of additive manufacturing over conventional one cannot be discussed a priori, because it must be proven quantitatively on a case-by-case basis; to support the thesis according to which additive machines can achieve economies of scale.

This chapter discusses a series of twentieth-century advertising campaigns undertaken by the food manufacturing company Procter & Gamble to convince Jewish women to change their cooking fats of choice from butter and schmaltz, rendered poultry fat, to Crisco. The effectiveness of this early instance of targeted marketing reveals a particular moment in the changing mores of American Jews as religious practitioners and as consumers of commercial goods, identities that were often intertwined. Jewish home cooks, generally women, were convinced to relinquish authority to corporate experts not only in matters of cuisine and health, but also regarding religious practices related to food production and consumption. Over the course of the twentieth century, for many American Jews, buying packaged food products overseen by federal health regulators and Jewish religious organizations became an integral part of religious practice.

Abstract Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is one of the most researched techniques in the field of additive manufacturing because of its fast and cost-effective nature. However, the surface quality of these printed parts suffers because of the stairstepping effect, which leads to visible layer lines. Secondary finishing operations are often needed to comply with the design requirements. These post-processing techniques are useful but are labor-intensive and often time-consuming. The present study compares the effects of in-situ polishing of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) using chemical and mechanical approaches. The advantages of in-situ settings include ease of operation and lower time consumption. For this, a modified rapid prototyping system was developed which had separate heads for mechanical and chemical polishing. A full factorial experiment was conducted with the two polishing methods and two feed rates. In results, mechanical polishing with end mill with a lower feed rate achieved the best roughness (Ra = 2.047 μm), while chemical polishing with a lower feed rate has the least improvement (Ra = 14.257 μm). General trends, pros, and cons for both chemical and mechanical methods are discussed.

Abstract. Material Extrusion (MEX) and by extension Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a popular Additive Manufacturing (AM) process used to fabricate complex parts. FDM as of recent is no longer solely utilized for prototyping parts but also used for producing functional components in industrial and research applications. The investigation of material properties of these FDM parts by experimental means is a time-consuming task. Therefore, the use of numerical simulation methods is highly required. Since 1993, various Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models are found in literature attempting to effectively simulate FDM parts utilizing many formulations, each with their pros and cons. The present study aims to compare Lagrangian and Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) finite element formulations in simulating tensile loading for FDM parts. The efficiency and precision of the aforementioned methods is evaluated in the numerical simulation of the tensile loading of an ASTM D638 standard geometry ABS specimen utilizing both ABAQUS/Explicit and ABAQUS/Standard. Utilizing a paper from the literature for experimental validation, this study additionally provides insight into explicit and implicit models’ computational efficiency, focusing on the advantages of explicit models for this application. The effects of mesh element type and size on results are also studied for each method. Based on these results, some useful guidelines for selecting the most suitable model of tensile loaded FDM parts are presented.

Abstract Long Term Agreement (LTA) contracting strategy is a new developed strategy for capital projects that has holistic objective of not only eliminating the Cons of traditional heavily implemented contracting strategies; Lump Sum TurnKey (LSTK) and Lump Sum Procure and Build (LSPB) but more importantly to increase the domestic dependency on manpower and manufacturing. LTA is a hybrid strategy between LSTK and Work Unit Rate/ Time Unit Rate (WUR/TUR). For a fixed period of time and specific work zone, contractor is granted LSTK contracts for an agreed upon WUR. In this paper, the development of this new strategy will be discussed, its Pros and what advantages it achieved after implementation. Existing processing facilities consistently need upgrades that is business driven hence, need to be executed on an expedited mode while the projects budgets are relatively low (less than $100 million US dollars). These projects need to be executed while the existing facility is on stream, producing and within a specific schedule and pre-determined aggressive milestones. Hence, the implementation of LTA contracting strategy for oil and gas capital projects in brown fields can reduce contracting phase period by up to 70 %. This paper research work is focused on the implementation of LTA contracting strategy in brown field projects specifically in gas processing facilities construction projects with budget less than $100 milion US dollars/ project department. The evaluation compares the current recommended LSTK contracting strategy verses LTA contracting strategy proposed. The two strategies are assessed on the bases of time efficiency and effectiveness of cost control during the project execution life cycle. The comparison was done on realistic time utilizing decision tools analysis approach. The time frames are extracted from processes mandated by "Company" Engineering procedures "SAEP". The two awarding strategies are furthered analyzed using lean tools and methods. Furthermore, a comparison between the three contracting strategies; LSTK, LSPB, and LTA is conducted. In 2019, the author has published a paper with the same comparison between LSTK and LSPB for capital projects with budgets $100 million US dollars or less under specific conditions. Four (4) sets of assessments were conducted with one variable effect is assessed at a time and the remaining are finalized in order to develop recommendation for which contracting strategy to be used when. In the current paper, the author(s) chose to conduct a similar assessment with minor modifications on the conditions but with the introduction of the LTA as a third contracting option. New set of recommendations are developed and graph distribution will be displayed. It can be shown that the newly introduced contracting strategy LTA has significant advantages and positive impact on both the company and stockholders. For instance, it will improve the Overall performance of Oil & Gas (O&G) brownfield upgrade projects execution to align with Industry Benchmark through the following focused benefits; improving the contracting cycle time by 70% hence optimizing the procurement cycle. It will allow contractors to allocate dedicated construction resources which will create a strong potential for cost and schedule optimization and effective planning/execution for bottleneck activities like Tie-ins and shutdown related scope. Availability of high-quality skilled manpower will most definitely improve job site quality and safety related issues. In addition, a demand on local manufacturing industry will increase. Therefore, there will be an increase in the Local jobs offering and strong support for the government In Kingdom Total Value-Added program (IKTVA) aimed at development and retaining of local manpower and Saudi resources.
