Implementation and Validation of Supplier Selection Model for Planner Machine...IJSRD
Supplier selection is the process through which firms identify, evaluate, and contract with suppliers. The supplier selection process deploys a tremendous amount of a firm’s financial resources. In return, manufacturing industries expect important benefits from contracting with suppliers offering high value. Like many complex supply chain problems, vendor selection problems are not so well defined which can be handed over completely to computers, whereas many human characteristics are also essential to the issues. In this paper attention is given to the fuzzy System helps Vendor Selection Problem (VSP) for Radial Drilling Bed (RDB). It required expert’s view, conversion it into fuzzy term, making 8 rule base Model with implementing Fuzzy System using MATLAB. At ending point, conclusions and likely areas of Fuzzy in selecting vendors are present.

The document discusses three basic emotional systems that contribute to wellbeing: the defence system, drive system, and soothing system. The defence system ensures survival through fight, flight or freeze responses. The drive system provides energy and motivation to engage with the world through action. The soothing system enables calm, safety, and connectedness. Experiencing resilient wellbeing involves fluidly moving between these three systems as needed.
Self Management Teams were presented by Obed FL. Stories are powerful ways to connect with people and are contagious, sticking in memory through retelling. Teams go through forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning stages. Effective teams have task performance, group process, and individual satisfaction. They are led and have norms, cohesion, appropriate composition and structure, creativity, and organizational support. Self-managed teams differ from traditional teams by having interchangeable roles and multiskilled members.
Being assertive is not necessarily easy, but it is a skill that can be learned.

Mobile operators must continuously offer new service packages to stay competitive in a fast-changing market. However, developing and launching new services typically takes mobile operators six months or more due to complex and siloed backend systems. The document argues that mobile operators can reduce new service launch times to less than a week by taking a component-based approach to assembling new services from existing building blocks, similar to how Lego builds new sets from a standardized collection of pieces. This component-based approach allows for maximum reuse, flexibility, exposure to partners, and just-in-time assembly of services tailored to customers' needs.

This paper explains the options how broadband will be extended to critical users. New, "Blue Ocean" approach is introduced where network investment will be optimized. Multichannel router solution is explained and payback calculations are shown.
The ultimate public safety broadband solution is a blue ocean oneJuhani Lehtonen
For too long, public safety operations have been in need of good broadband solutions for use in critical situations. This situation has arisen because narrow band digital solutions can no longer provide the bandwidth required by modern operations and applications, despite continuing investment. The obvious and old fashioned solution to enable broadband would be to build dedicated broadband networks for public safety. Many still think this is the solution for the modernization of these services. There have been demands for huge public funding as well as dedicated frequencies. This is the old business model.
In this white paper I will point out another solution. The world has changed a lot since the first digital PMR networks were built. A new business model and a technological solution that saves money in investment, operations and will perform better. A ‘Blue Ocean’ alternative that is likely to be the one implemented everywhere.
Goodmill Systems provides multi-channel router solutions that enable reliable broadband connectivity for vehicles, even in demanding conditions. This allows seamless switching between available networks to ensure uninterrupted connectivity. Goodmill aims to improve safety and function for emergency services through improved communications capabilities. Existing land mobile radio systems used by public safety organizations face limitations due to low data capacities that can jeopardize voice services. A broadband solution is needed to improve voice functionality while providing sufficient data communication to meet current and future public safety needs such as image sharing, location services, and video streaming. Goodmill's multi-network approach combines multiple commercial and private networks to meet these requirements through always-available, high-speed connectivity.
High Quality Vehicle Broadband for Executives Juhani Lehtonen
Executives need to optimize their time. Too often the network connection to vehicles is to poor for effective mobile working. With Goodmill Systems' solution one can improve the availability and security that meets the demands of most demanding customers. Previously only a high end public safety solution is now available for executives everywhere.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

2. GloCell Oy
WHAT WE DO
History
GloCell Oy has started back in 2004 as fiber
and furnish consulting company for pulp and
papermakers, founded by brothers Lehtonen
(Ph.D. and M.sc). They had an idea, that
forest based industry can do things in a new
way and wanted to develop a new software to
help in that process. That is how SoftaCell™
was created.
Since then, GloCell has become the best on
the market providing solutions for
multivariable cost and material optimization.
GloCell’s SoftaCell™ optimization program is
nowadays globally in use by forest based
industry companies.
GloCell is a specialized company working
with different multivariable models for
furnish mix optimization and evaluation
of their cost to quality ratios.
Core competences of our company are
extensive understanding about the fibres,
mathematical modelling skills and wide
experience from the pulp- and paper
industry
3. GloCell’s business idea

4. About the potential in furnish mix
optimization
1 000 000€
“Annual saving potential in a 500Kt/a
papermill if the furnish optimization shows 2€
per ton cheaper solution for producing the
same”
4
6. How SoftaCell™ works
•
SoftaCell™ primary function is to
find and simulate the optimum
furnish mix for different paper or
board grades based on the
potential of the available pulps and
fillers
•
With the help of SoftaCell™
optimal pulp combinations and
refining ratios can be found in
acknowledge of effect on final
quality and cost efficiency of the
mix changes
•
In the program it’s easy to set
limits minimum and maximum
values for all the necessary quality
parameter ranges and optimize
without loss of total performance
6
7. Optimize your production with SoftaCell™
How could it be done in papermaking as an example
In the beginning, you would
have list of your pulps with
quality properties of
different kinds
Later on you would have
modelled paper structure
consisting from in example
different types of pulps,
fillers and additives, with
spesific production
parameters and process
variables taken into account
These structures can then
be optimized within the
quality limits to suit your
preferences with SoftaCell™
Cost effect of different raw
material combinations will
be reported simultaneously
with changed quality
properties
7
8. SoftaCell™ basic appearance
In Benchmarking tool you
can compare different
quality parameters
of the pulps as a function
of refining energy levels,
either in number values
or graphically

9. SoftaCell™ basic use
With Furnish mix
optimization tool
you can build
paper mixes and
optimize them
based on end
products quality
demands
9
10. SoftaCell™ economics
You can see the
actual saving
potential of each of
the alternatives!
Mix report is
synchronized with
mix optimization so
that every change in
the use of pulps or
machine
parameters is seen
immediately as a
change on
economics
In this example a single ~60kt/a papermachine shows 600k€/a saving potential, just by changing
between hardwood suppliers in furnish mix, without any significant quality losses

•
•
The board structure can be created from furnish
mixes.
All the layers can be individually optimized with mix
optimization feature of the program and the results
can be selected in the board optimization tool
afterwards as different layers
In this case a 3-layer structure in presented, but
there is an upgrade option for multilayer structure
model including coatings
Easy comparison

Grammages included
Good exporting tools to excel
Cost structure comparison
Easy way to compare how different changes will effect
on end quality properties of the board

12. Optimize your production with SoftaCell™
How could it be done in board making as an example
In the beginning with triple
layer board optimization,
you would have a different
list of possible layer mixes
for top- middle- and bottom
to choose for
Later on you would have
modelled multilayer board
structure consisting from
layer mixes combinated
from different types of
pulps, fillers and additives,
with spesific production
parameters and process
variables taken into account
These structures can then
be optimized within the
quality limits to suit your
preferences with SoftaCell™
Cost effect of different raw
material combinations will
be reported simultaneously
with changed quality
properties

SAVINGS IN A YEAR
•
The idea of SoftaCell is to create savings along the
use of the program through better cost and quality
profile, R&D resource releases, new product creations
and enhanced pulp sales
Return On Investment (ROI) is always case specific as
are the SoftaCell™ projects and customer demands
as well
Investment payback time is easier tool to evaluate
how good investment SoftaCell™ is related into other
cost affectivity offering actions
Example diagram on the right is made for SoftaCell™
customer having annual production of 400kt in total,
to show out the project economy forecast
Example’s customer’s aim is to create new products
with better quality cost effectivity.
Saving potential is always corporate and case
specific. Typical savings created are usually around
3€/ton but in many cases when a high percentage of
the pulps used for production are bought from the
markets, savings of 10€/ton and more have been
reported in Europe.
