Makespan estimation and order acceptance in batch process industries when processing times are uncertain

Batch process industries are characterized by complex precedence relationships between operations, which renders the estimation of an acceptable workload very difficult. A detailed schedule based model can be used for this purpose, but for large problems this may require a prohibitive large amount of computation time. We propose a regression based model to estimate the makespan of a set of jobs. We extend earlier work based on deterministic processing times by considering Erlang-distributed processing times in our model. This regression-based model is used to support customer order acceptance. Three order acceptance policies are compared by means of simulation experiments: a scheduling policy, a workload policy and a regression policy. The results indicate that the performance of the regression policy can compete with the performance of the scheduling policy in situations with high variety in the job mix and high uncertainty in the processing times.

A study on the critical success factors for corporations embarking on knowledge community-based e-learning

Corporations have felt the pressure for fast-paced innovations and knowledge transfer as major driving forces in raising their sustainable competitive advantage and organizational total productivity. Thus, the development of the knowledge community through e-learning is an important strategy in implementing knowledge management policy. This paper illustrates an empirical study with which to conduct qualitative research of learning organization. From the case company’s real progress and practical experience, some core principles were extracted from four managerial aspects, such as: strategy, technology, process, and personnel. These aspects were analyzed in order to understand the value chain framework and the major concerns of knowledge community development. Further, the main benefits are addressed and certain critical factors are proposed and shown in this paper to ensure the success of corporations embarking on knowledge community-based e-learning.     

Energy and resources as production factors in process industries

It is shown that, when the mean productivity of some factors, such as energy or materials, is upperly bounded (a condition usually arising in energy production or in the process industries where energy takes part in physico-chemical processes), the production function may not be convex and, under some further conditions, is concave. Consequences of this model on the economics of energy savings are examined, and it is shown that energy savings may be considered at three levels: in the short run, by action on labour factors: in the medium run, by investment and action on labour factors; in the long run, by technological innovation, investment in new technologies and action on labour factors. Empirical findings along these lines are thus confirmed.

欠平衡钻井技术的优势和挑战

文章综述了国内外欠平衡钻井技术的应用现状,分析了国内外对欠平衡钻井技术的需求;结合目前国内的应用情况,重点介绍了欠平衡钻井的技术优势,即欠平衡钻井技术能够减少油气层伤害、评价油气藏、提高机械钻速、同时还具有有效控制漏失、减少压差卡钻等优点。讨论了欠平衡钻井技术在钻井成本、储层损害、钻井液选择、完井和测井以及存在不安全的隐患等方面所面临的技术挑战,指出欠平衡钻井比常规钻井具有更显著的技术优势,在国外已经发展很成熟;但在国内对欠平衡钻井的认识还不足,发展应用受到制约;建议应建立欠平衡钻井作业标准和管理规章制度,加强欠平衡钻井的相关基础理论和技术研究。这对国内进一步开展欠平衡钻井技术工作的研究有很好的参考作用。
