This document discusses using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to select the head of an educational institute. It presents AHP as a decision-making tool to prioritize selection criteria and potential candidates. An example uses criteria like experience, administration skills, research activity, salary, and current role to evaluate professors applying for a head position. Pairwise comparisons and a hierarchical structure are used to calculate priority vectors and an overall priority for each professor. The results provide a ranked list of candidates to aid in selecting the best person for the role.
The document discusses applying the DeLone & McLean Information Systems Success Model to measure the success of e-commerce systems. It proposes updating the original model by adding a service quality dimension and combining individual and organizational impacts into a net benefits construct. The updated model contains six dimensions: system quality, information quality, service quality, use, user satisfaction, and net benefits. These dimensions provide a framework for organizing e-commerce success metrics identified in the literature. Case examples are used to demonstrate how the model can guide the identification and specification of e-commerce success metrics.
Organizations often struggle with costly and delayed ERP implementations when they focus solely on technology, ignore requirements definition, and rush from requirements to development without proper planning. Implementing a project management office (PMO) can help organizations avoid common pitfalls by providing structure, oversight, and governance over project scope, scheduling, resources, communication and reporting. Leveraging a PMO's roles in solution architecture, process improvement, mentoring, knowledge sharing, and facilitation can help ensure ERP implementations are successfully delivered on time and on budget.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.
We have compiled the most important slides from each speaker's presentation. This year’s compilation, available for free, captures the key insights and contributions shared during the DfMAy 2024 conference.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

The integration of cutting-edge technologies, including sensors, actuators, and data analysis, empowers this system to provide accurate monitoring and control of irrigation processes by leveraging real-time environmental conditions. The main objective of a smart irrigation system is to optimize water efficiency, minimize expenses, and foster the adoption of sustainable water management methods. This paper conducts a systematic risk assessment by exploring the key components/assets and their functionalities in the smart irrigation system. The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.
Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
3. Advanced Manufacturing is:
• The utilisation of enabling technologies,
incorporating design and business process
innovation to deliver high
value-added processes and products
in ways that are novel and competitive.
5. • Industries using advanced technology which enable them to
achieve the result they want more effectively and efficiently.
For example:
• using keyhole surgery doctors can now perform some procedures with
only a 5-15mm incision;
• manufacturers can use “robots” to perform high-precision jobs such
as welding and riveting;
• farmers can use GPS technology to monitor the application of
fertilisers and pesticides, map fields and mark areas of disease or
weed infestation.
The utilisation of enabling technologies…
6. …incorporating design and business process innovation…
• Using new and improved methods to design their
product and operate their business. For example:
• Using lean manufacturing principles a factory
uses the minimum amount of manpower,
materials, money, machines, space etc to get the
job done on time.
7. …high value-added processes and
products…
• Incorporating manufacturing processes and
techniques that add value to the end product, for
example:
• A German company Manitowac launched a
brand-new technology in the world's lifting
industry with its new telescopic mobile crane.
The crane can be used in locations where height
and mobilisation is a key issue, such as erecting
wind turbines or working on industrial or city
centre sites
8. …ways that are novel and
competitive.
• Incorporating new methods or utilising new
materials that will give their business the edge in
terms of competitiveness or quality, for example:
• Coopers Brewery’s state-of-the-art brewhouse
design employs cutting edge technology which
combines energy conservation and yield
efficiency.
• Power for the Brewhouse is produced on site by a
4.4MWatt, natural gas, cogeneration plant.
Excess power is put back into the domestic power
grid.
9. So in summary….
• Advanced Manufacturing is all about:
• Using technologies and techniques to optimise
the product design and the manufacturing
process, creating a quality end product that is
cost effective to produce and competitive in its
market.

13. A simpler view of an industrial value chain helps us understand
what advanced manufacturing is about
But how do we apply it?
Raw Materials
Processed Materials
Parts and Components
Machines
ServiceIndustries
InformationEngineering
14. Firstly, what is a machine?
My simplistic view of machines – not entirely correct
Purely mechanical
machines
Anything that uses mechanical energy only. (e.g., watches,
bicycles, egg beater)
Electro-mechanical
machines
Mechanical machines that use electrical sources of energy for
propulsion and control purposes (e.g., lawn mower, electrical
car, aircraft)
Chemo-mechanical
machines??
Mechanical machines which use chemical sources of energy?? -
control is more important than propulsion??
Electro-chemical
machines
Batteries, solar panels, CDs etc.
Electro-magnetic
machines
Computers, TVs (thank you Solymar), computer chips.
Bio-chemical
machines
Enzymes e.g., yeast and
Biological machines Bacteria, your body cells, yeast
Chemical machines Pharmaceuticals
15. My simple observation about machines
1. All machines have some form of a control system (manual /automatic / super intelligent)
2. This control system is able to process information about what’s happening around it and use it
to tell the machine what to do
a. Need some form of a feedback loop
b. Some are naturally built in
c. Most need to be built in
3. Advanced manufacturing is about understanding how these control systems work
or work along side other systems so that we can use these machines for our own
ends.
a. CDs, DVDs, TVs etc are a result of our understanding of how to excite electrons and
get them to do or store cool things
b. A bomb is not a machine cause we can’t control the release of energy, but a rocket or
a nuclear reactor is a machine
4. We also need more advanced manufacturing technologies to make different types
of machines
a. You can’t make micro-processors with simple tools, outside of a clean room
Advanced manufacturing is the production of complex machines through the
application of advancements in science in manufacturing processes and
product design
16. Secondly what have been the recent advances in science
(including mgt. science) and their impact on manufacturing
Recent advances in science Impact on manufacturing process and products
E-Commerce Supply chain management and ???
Nano-technology Product engineering vs. process engineering
Miniaturization Cell phones
Increased Computational Power Visit any control room during a factory visitor
Bio-technology Consistent quality in beer production, new drugs
Composites Lighter cars, light planes, lighter missiles
Space/Cellular Technologies Productivity of vehicles working in mines
Advanced manufacturing is also about the application of advanced
technologies and processes at any stage of the value chain
17. But what about less developed countries who haven’t mastered basic
manufacturing processes
1. Advanced manufacturing is relative to a countries capabilities
o Advances in manufacturing can be made in processes rather than at a
technology level, but
o Technology can also be bought (or donated)
18. Therefore the suggested definition of advanced manufacturing?
1. It is the production of complex machines through the application of
advancements in science in manufacturing processes and product design
2. It is the application of advanced technologies and processes at any stage
of the value chain
a. technologies refers to productive equipment and knowledege
b. processes also includes managerial practices (e.g., lean, supply chain
management, e-commerce etc.)
3. In a nut shell building advanced manufacturing is
a. Relative to where an economies’ productive capacity are at
b. Is simply about process and technology upgrading

What are Global Value Chains?
Name Value Chain Production Network
Definition Sequence of productive (i.e.
value-added) activities leading
to end use
Two or more value chains
that share at least one actor
(network linkage)
Other Names Supply Chain, Commodity

Value network, Input-output
matrix, Supply Base
Benefits Focuses on the essential steps
taken to get a product to
market and thus makes the role
of the key players more
explicit.
Allows the capturing of the
dynamism and complexity of
productive activities
21. o competitive advantage can be gained by developing linkages with distinct kinds
of lead firms in global industries
o these lead firms are the ones that control access to major resources that
generate the most profitable returns in the industry E.g.,
o product design, new technologies, brand names or consumer demand
o An alternative approach for gaining competitiveness within the GVC framework
is for a firm to leverage its relationship with other members of its network to
develop its competencies.

?Can we leave
anything out
23. If you believe the above, an understanding of how
lead firms manage their global value chains should
provide some insights into how South African can
become part of the global manufacturing industry
Conclusion
Editor's Notes
Should I lose you as I waffle, the three things I would like you to take away from this opening session are as follows:
Adv manufacturing is about the application of advanced technologies and process at any stages of the value chain – technologies refers equipment, processes also include managerial practices (e.g., lean, supply chain management, e-commerce etc.)
Adv Manufacturing is about making more complex machines and materials through the application of knowledge and advancement in manufacturing processes (e.g., nano-technology, biotechnology, minuturazition, increased computational capacity etc.)
Typical the way economist view the value chain is shown above. This world view is applied by statsa in statistics and we would tend to think of the economy in that light.
Those of us with an engineering background or experience of the mining and chemical sector will typically think of the world in this light.
However, these industries are not often referred to as advanced manufacturing, after all the processes used in these industries have been in existence for yonks.
So where exactly are advances in manufacturing been made.
Is there scope for product upgrading in these industries?
Is there scope for technology upgrading in these fields?
Is there scope of for process upgrading in these fields?
I would like to argue that advances are still been made in terms of processes and improvements in technology, albeit simple and subtle upgrading. But a simply view of the world is needed for us to understanding what advanced manufacturing is about.
If we look at the world differently – using a view I believe to be more MECE. What can we learn about advanced manufacturing.

The terms value chain, commodity chains, value networks, activities chain, production chain and input-output analysis are frequently used to describe analysis that take the entire chain of activities that bring a product to its market place into account. Although they are often used interchangeable, a distinction between value chains and production networks provides greater analytic rigour. (Sturgeon, 2000:6)
The production network approach allows the capturing of the dynamism and complexity of productive activities, whilst the value chain approach focuses on the essential steps taken to get a product to market and thus makes the role of the key players more explicit. The relevant definitions are given in table 1 below. (Sturgeon, 2000:6)

An alternative approach for gaining competitiveness within the GVC framework is for a firm to leverage its relationship with other members of its network to develop its competencies.
The central idea in this approach is that participation in “an inter-organisational network depends on the competencies built by each firm”.
This hypothesis has been developed in studies of the development of various Brazilian industries with a special emphasis on the internationalisation of these industries. (Fleury and Fleury, 2003;1)
