IRJET- Application of Time Divisions Scheduling Techniques for Duration and Q...IRJET Journal
This document proposes a new scheduling technique to improve upon the limitations of traditional Critical Path Method (CPM) and Gantt chart scheduling. The new technique, called Critical Path Division (CPD), divides activity durations and work quantities into daily time divisions to allow for more granular project tracking, monitoring, and control. CPM and Gantt charts only consider activity durations and cannot adequately represent schedule changes or recover delays. CPD addresses this by showing progress at a daily level based on both duration and work completed. The objectives are to develop an improved scheduling model that overcomes the weaknesses of traditional methods and better supports construction project management.

How to monitor and prioritize epics of a Service Cloud implementation project...YeurDreamin'
Chatter, live agent chat, a 360° view, omnichannel tool, knowledge, Einstein, feedback, notes, reports & dashboards, automations, routing and escalation, user interface, notifications and alerts, self-care (self-service communities and portals), field service lightning,…all these objects and features are essential to reach customer centricity and operational excellence. But how are we supposed to prioritize these epics? What is a good approach/methodology to define the milestones of a Service Cloud implementation project roadmap?
As a project lead, budget constraints, technical and business resource availabilities will influence the duration and the scope of a project. An increase in the scope of one project could put pressure on costs and schedules of all other projects. This is why companies should have a strict internal requirements management process that is performance – driven. As suggested in the balanced scorecard model, it’s necessary to have a balanced approached to performance measures that includes customer perception (CxPi, VELO), operational business process efficiency (contact rate, FTR and QRT), Organizational capacity (internal NPS, AHT, cross-selling) and financial performance (growth margin, cost to serve).
This scorecard can be complemented by other company-specific KPIs and will serve at least 2 strategic purposes: This model will first help you in monitoring the Service Cloud implementation project in a better way and track if the objectives are met, second the model will help you in prioritizing the epics to define the implementation roadmap.

EES White Paper Project Management of IT Moves LRVicky Killian
This whitepaper discusses project managing IT moves when a company relocates premises. It emphasizes the importance of carefully managing the relocation of ICT and telecommunication systems by implementing a Project Management Plan. EES Africa is an engineering and consulting firm that specializes in project managing IT moves, following detailed procedures to mitigate risks and ensure a smooth transition. The document outlines their process, which includes assessing current equipment, procuring new equipment, installation, transitioning support, and decommissioning old systems according to a set project plan.
Alignment of business and IT is key to any growing organization. IT is an enabler and IT spend has to be fully aligned to enable business goals. An ePMO from Plexlane is a strategic step that companies can take to make sure a defined process exists with check and balances to make sure business goals and IT initiatives are always aligned.
The document discusses organizing procurement processes and activities through project management techniques. It explains that procuring big projects requires well-organized activities prior to execution. Project management involves planning, scheduling, and controlling phases. Planning includes defining goals and teams. Scheduling sequences activities and allocates time. Controlling monitors resources, costs, quality and budgets to revise plans if needed. Popular techniques like Gantt charts, PERT and CPM help with planning, scheduling and controlling. These network approaches involve defining relationships between activities to identify critical paths and ensure on-time completion.
CPM and PERT are network-based project management techniques that model the sequence and flow of activities in a project. PERT is used for projects with uncertain activity durations, models time as a variable, and identifies the critical path to minimize time and cost. CPM assumes fixed activity durations, differentiates critical from non-critical activities to reduce delays, and deals with crashing activities to further reduce time. The key differences are that PERT is probabilistic and for non-repetitive projects like research, while CPM is deterministic and used for repetitive construction projects.
1) The project aims to provide affordable accommodation for students through low-cost houses, establish business opportunities through double-storey shop/offices, and promote neighborhood economic activity.
2) The design-bid-build procurement method was selected which separates design and construction into sequential phases, allowing the client full control over design.
3) Quality management and risk analysis were important processes to ensure project objectives were achieved effectively and efficiently. Key risks identified were related to adjacent impacts, delays, safety, and ensuring technical and financial feasibility. Mitigation strategies focused on clear communication, competent teams, and contingency planning.
This document provides guidance on key questions to consider when planning a project to ensure it is thoroughly planned before work begins. It outlines questions about the project purpose, stakeholders to involve, expected results, constraints, assumptions, work activities, and scheduling. Specifically, it recommends defining the situation that led to the project, who will benefit, and consequences of not doing it. It also suggests identifying drivers, supporters and observers; measurable and targeted outcomes; limitations and needs; assumptions and risks; all required activities, their inputs, results and dependencies; and a detailed schedule with milestones and resource availability. Answering these questions comprehensively aids in developing project plans, commitment, and performance.

Interviews and document reviews are conducted. The assessment identifies strengths and weaknesses, typically taking 4-6 weeks to complete.
The CQA (Construction Quality Assurance) program oversees construction quality through three phases:
1) Preconstruction and fabrication to identify errors and ensure correct fabrication, 2) Construction to review drawings and completed work, recording any issues. 3) Commissioning to minimize issues found and resolve them quickly. The CQA program establishes staffing needs, contractor expectations, and tools to record and track issues, generating metrics for management review. When implemented properly, CQA keeps costs low by finding issues early and reducing schedule impacts.

The definitions by some of the leading management thinkers and practitioners are given below:
Management is the coordination of all resources through the process of planning, organizing, directing and controlling in order to attain stated objectives. —Henry L. Sisk.
(2) Management is the art of knowing what you want to do and then seeing that it is done in the best and cheapest way. —F.W. Taylor
(3) Management is the creation and maintenance of an internal environment in an enterprise where individuals, working in groups, can perform efficiently and effectively towards the attainment of group goals.—Harold Koontz and Cyril O’Donnell
The term management has been interpreted in several ways; some of which are given below:
Management as an Activity—As an activity management has been defined as the art of getting things done through the efforts of other people.
Management as a Process---The management process includes planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling functions.
Management as a Economic Resource-----Like land, labor and capital, Management is important factor of production.
Management as a Team---who have the responsibility of guiding and coordinating the efforts of other persons. These persons are called as managers who operate at different levels of authority (top, middle, operating).
Management as a Academic Discipline--- Management has emerged as a specialized branch of knowledge.
Project – a [temporary] sequence of unique, complex, and connected activities having one goal or purpose and that must be completed by specific time, within budget, and according to specification.
Project management – the process of scoping, planning, staffing, organizing, directing, and controlling the development of an acceptable system at a minimum cost within a specified time frame.
Process management – the activity of documenting, managing, and continually improving the process of systems development.
Any project involves planning, scheduling and controlling a number of interrelated activities with use of limited resources, namely, men, machines, materials, money and time.
A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service.
It is
performed by people
constrained by limited resources
planned, executed and controlled
It is required that managers must have a dynamic planning and scheduling system to produce the best possible results and also to react immediately to the changing conditions and make necessary changes in the plan and schedule.
Projects differ in size, scope, cost and time, but all have the following characteristics:
solves a real and existing problem, has well-defined start and end points.
A life cycle involving a series of phases in between the beginning and end
A budget, Specific goals and conditions, Defined responsibilities
A set of activities which are sequential, unique and non-repetitive
Use of resources which may require coordinating
Unique: All projects are unique in themselves, no two projects are exactly similar.
Defined roles and relationships for participants in the project
Fixed set of objectives: A project has a set of objectives or a mission. Once the objectives are achieved the project is treated as completed.
Tenure: Project is never a continuous activity, it has to come to an end. Its life span is fixed.
Team work: : Project is a team work and it normally consists of diverse areas. It needs a team to accomplish various activities.

The term management has been interpreted in several ways; some of which are given below:
Management as an Activity—As an activity management has been defined as the art of getting things done through the efforts of other people.
Management as a Process---The management process includes planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling functions.
Management as a Economic Resource-----Like land, labor and capital, Management is important factor of production.
Management as a Team---who have the responsibility of guiding and coordinating the efforts of other persons. These persons are called as managers who operate at different levels of authority (top, middle, operating).
Management as a Academic Discipline--- Management has emerged as a specialized branch of knowledge.
Project – a [temporary] sequence of unique, complex, and connected activities having one goal or purpose and that must be completed by specific time, within budget, and according to specification.
Project management – the process of scoping, planning, staffing, organizing, directing, and controlling the development of an acceptable system at a minimum cost within a specified time frame.
Process management – the activity of documenting, managing, and continually improving the process of systems development.
Any project involves planning, scheduling and controlling a number of interrelated activities with use of limited resources, namely, men, machines, materials, money and time.
A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service.
It is
performed by people
constrained by limited resources
planned, executed and controlled
It is required that managers must have a dynamic planning and scheduling system to produce the best possible results and also to react immediately to the changing conditions and make necessary changes in the plan and schedule.
Projects differ in size, scope, cost and time, but all have the following characteristics:
solves a real and existing problem, has well-defined start and end points.
A life cycle involving a series of phases in between the beginning and end
A budget, Specific goals and conditions, Defined responsibilities
A set of activities which are sequential, unique and non-repetitive
Use of resources which may require coordinating
Unique: All projects are unique in themselves, no two projects are exactly similar.
Defined roles and relationships for participants in the project
Fixed set of objectives: A project has a set of objectives or a mission. Once the objectives are achieved the project is treated as completed.
Tenure: Project is never a continuous activity, it has to come to an end. Its life span is fixed.
Team work: : Project is a team work and it normally consists of diverse areas. It needs a team to accomplish various activities.
Chain drives are commonly used to transmit power in agricultural machinery. They consist of linked metal plates connected by pins in an endless loop. This allows for flexibility while enabling large tensile forces to be transmitted. Key advantages of chain drives are their ability to transmit power at slower speeds and their durability in operating in harsh environments. Proper lubrication and maintenance is required. Gears are another type of positive drive that transmit motion between two rotating shafts via toothed wheels. They can be used to increase or decrease speed depending on the relative sizes of the input and output gears. Standard gear types include spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, and worm gears.
Discussion Map
Gears are toothed, cylindrical wheels used for transmitting motion and power from one rotating shaft to another.
Most gear drives cause a change in the speed of the output gear relative to the input gear.
Some of the most common types of gears are spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, and worm/worm gear sets.
This document provides an overview of a seminar on machine elements and the design of power transmission devices in farm machinery. It discusses various machine elements like belts, chains, gears, clutches, and brakes that are used to transmit power from one rotating component to another. The document describes the kinematics and design considerations for belt drives, chain drives, and different types of gears. It also discusses lubrication methods for chains. The seminar aims to help understand the selection and design of common power transmission elements in agricultural machinery.
The main sources of power for agricultural machines, i.e., the diesel engine for self-propelled machines and the electrical motor for many stationary machines used on the farmstead.
Pull-type machines must receive propulsion and rotary power from the tractor.
Power is transmitted from the tractor to the machine by means of traction, power-take-off drives (PTO), and/or by fluid power.
Rotary power is also transmitted by means of belts and chains.
Topics related to rotary power transmission are presented here.
Global Adoption - In Precision Agriculture in Australia, Interest in Precision Agriculture (PA) has Increased Rapidly Within the Grain Growing Regions Over Recent Years (David et al., 2017). Many Farmers have Invested in Machinery Guidance Systems And Yield Monitors, But Few are using the Technology to Manage Spatial Variability Across Farming Zones.
In Argentina farmers in the province of Cordoba, Pampas and Bones Aires, often equip their combine harvesters with yield monitors (Bongiovanni and Lowenberg, 2015). Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) is available from private companies for broadcasting information. In addition, Variable Rate Technologies are used for seeding and fertilizer application.
In Africa PA is being used in Kenya, Egypt, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Ethiopia, and South Africa. In South Africa, farmers have reported that the costs saved while using variable rate fertilizer and irrigation are the major factors in adopting precision agriculture (Jacobs et al., 2018).

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

An improved modulation technique suitable for a three level flying capacitor ...IJECEIAES
This research paper introduces an innovative modulation technique for controlling a 3-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI), aiming to streamline the modulation process in contrast to conventional methods. The proposed
simplified modulation technique paves the way for more straightforward and
efficient control of multilevel inverters, enabling their widespread adoption and
integration into modern power electronic systems. Through the amalgamation of
sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) with a high-frequency square wave
pulse, this controlling technique attains energy equilibrium across the coupling
capacitor. The modulation scheme incorporates a simplified switching pattern
and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.
