ANALISA PENERAPAN MANAJEMEN WAKTU PADA PROYEK KONSTRUKSI JALAN LINGKUNGAN (Studi Kasus : Perumahan Komplek Teratai Putih Kalimantan Selatan)
Authors: Mochtar Benny
Published: March 2020

Manajemen waktu adalah bagian esensi dari setiap aktivitas proyek. Potensi pemborosan dan kegagalan proyek akan semakin besar tanpa manajemen waktu yang optimal. Waktu menjadi salah satu sumber daya unjuk kerja. Sumber daya yang mesti dikelola secara efektif dan efisien. Penelitian ini secara khusus membahas bagaimana pelaksanaan manajemen waktu proyek konstruksi jalan lingkungan oleh kontraktor Perumahan Komplek Teratai Putih Kalimantan Selatan. Analisa pada penelitian ini sesuai dengan aspek-aspek manajemen waktu, yaitu mengenai schedule, monitoring, analisis, corrective action, update schedule. Dari hasil analisis disimpulkan bahwa manajemen waktu yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan kontraktor Perumahan Komplek Teratai Putih Kalimantan Selatan sudah melaksanakan dengan baik hanya belum mampu dilaksanakan dengan optimal dikarenakan adanya hambatan yang ditemui dalam pelaksanaan aspek manajemen waktu. Hambatan yang sering ditemui terjadi pada pengendalian proyek. Selama proses pengendalian proyek, schedule mengikuti perkembangan proyek dengan berbagai permasalahannya. Selain itu proses monitoring selalu dilakukan untuk mendapatkan penjadwalan yang paling realistis agar alokasi sumber daya dan penetapan durasinya sesuai dengan sasaran dan tujuan proyek. Hal ini sangat penting untuk dilaksanakan karena analisis hasil pekerjaan dapat dilaksanakan dari hasil monitoring yang teratur.Time management is an essential part of every project activity. The potential for waste and project failure will be even greater without optimal time management. Time is one of the resources for performance. Resources that must be managed effectively and efficiently. This study specifically discusses how the implementation of time management of environmental road construction projects by the White Lotus Complex Housing contractor in South Kalimantan. The analysis in this study is in accordance with aspects of time management, namely regarding schedule, monitoring, analysis, corrective action, update schedule. From the results of the analysis it was concluded that the time management carried out by the Housing Project of the White Lotus Complex in South Kalimantan had been implemented properly only had not been able to be implemented optimally due to obstacles encountered in the implementation of time management aspects. Barriers that are often encountered occur in project control. During the process of controlling the project, the schedule follows the development of the project with various problems. In addition, the monitoring process is always carried out to get the most realistic scheduling so that the allocation of resources and determination of duration is in accordance with the project goals and objectives. This is very important to implement because analysis of work results can be carried out from regular monitoring results.

Pedagogy in Action
Authors: Watson Mark K.
Published: March 2020

While anthropology students may receive general instruction in the debates and critiques surrounding public and/or engaged anthropology, attention to the growing intersection between participatory action research (PAR) and anthropology is often overlooked. I contend that to think of PAR as a complementary approach to conventional anthropological fieldwork (i.e. interviews, participation observation, and focus groups) is problematic in that it runs counterintuitive to the former’s transformative logic. Drawing from my work co-leading a radio-based partnership project with urban Inuit organisations in Montreal and Ottawa, I repurpose Sol Tax’s ‘action anthropology’ to discuss an attitudinal shift that our team’s use of PAR has provoked, reconceptualising the aims and practice of our ethnographic enquiry in the process. I consider the effects of this shift for anthropological training and pedagogy in PAR projects and propose the use of ‘training-in-character’ as an organising principle for the supervision of student research.
Crisis and retirement
Authors: Raj Jayaseelan
Published: March 2020

The recent crisis in the tea industry has devastated the livelihood of the Dalit workforce in the South Indian state of Kerala. Retired workers were worst affected, since the plantation companies—under the disguise of the crisis—deferred their service payout. This article seeks to understand the severe alienation of the retirees as they struggle to regain lost respect, kinship network, and everyday sociality in the plantations and beyond. I argue that the alienation produced through their dispossession as wage laborers and the discrimination as Tamil-speaking Dalit must be understood as an interrelated process, whereas the source of alienation cannot be reduced to production or categorical relations alone.
"Farmers Don't Dance"

Published: March 2020

In this article we examine the influence of rurality on the construction of masculinity and femininity for, and by, pupils in a rural secondary school in Scotland. Using data from semi-structured interviews with male and female pupils and a teacher, as well as observations of classroom interactions over a period of 12 months, we highlight how girls take up multiple and complex gendered identities in a rural context and we emphasize the tensions they experience as they negotiate a feminine identity in a rural space constructed and described as masculine. Findings suggest that this construction is, at times, supported by teachers’ practices and their interactions with pupils. We conclude by discussing the implications for teachers in rural schools and point to the need to support girls to ensure that their educational opportunities are not limited by the deep-rooted associations that exist between rurality and masculinity.

Published: March 2020

The aim of the present study is to investigate the different aspects of intertextuality as adaptation in Pakistani TV advertisements. The target of advertising companies is to persuade their consumers, so they use different approaches for this purpose and intertextuality is one of them. To investigate the problem the following research question has been designed: Which aspects of intertextuality do the Pakistani TV commercials adapt in order to achieve their intended effects? The research design of the study is qualitative and descriptive. The study consists of eight Pakistani TV advertisements that have been collected from Pakistani TV channels through purposive sampling. The theoretical framework of the study is based on the approach of Intertextuality proposed by Kristeva (1966). The findings showed that the advertisers have created their advertisements by adapting the intertextuality elements of citation, reference, allusion and translation to make them attractive and enticing to get their economic purpose.
External validation of a new classification of spinal lipomas based on embryonic stage
Authors: Tominey Steven , Kaliaperumal Chandrasekaran , Gallo Pasquale
Published: March 2020

OBJECTIVE

Contention exists regarding appropriate classification and management of spinal lipomas (SLs). Given the heterogeneity of SLs, omissions and overlap between surgically incomparable groups exist in conventional classification systems. The new classification of spinal lipoma (NCSL) recently proposed by Morota et al. delineates morphology by embryological pathogenesis and the resultant operative difficulty. Here, the authors aimed to validate the NCSL by applying it to patients who had been operated on at their institution.

METHODS

All children who had undergone resection for SL between 2014 and 2018 were included in this analysis. MRI studies were independently reviewed and classified by three adjudicators. Baseline characteristics, inter-adjudicator agreement, coexisting anomalies and/or malformations, and postoperative outcomes and complications were analyzed.

RESULTS

Thirty-six patients underwent surgical untethering for SL: NCSL type 1 in 5 patients (14%), type 2 in 14 patients (39%), type 3 in 4 patients (11%), and type 4 in 13 patients (36%). All classification was agreed on first assignment by the adjudicators. Radical or near-radical resection, which was attempted in all patients, was always possible in those with type 1 and 4 SL, but never in those with type 2 and 3 SL. Neurological stabilization and/or improvement were observed in all patients at the last follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS

The NCSL was found to be a logical and reproducible system to apply in this SL population. All cases were successfully classified with a high degree of inter-assessor agreement. Widespread establishment of a commonly adopted and clinically useful classification system will enable clinicians to improve patient selection as well as discussion with patient representatives during the decision-making process.

Published: March 2020

OBJECTIVE

Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a procedure primarily performed to improve function in a subset of children with limitations related to spasticity. There is substantial variability in operative techniques among centers and surgeons. Here, the authors provide a technical review of operative approaches for SDR.

METHODS

Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and PubMed databases were queried in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. All studies included described a novel surgical technique. The technical nuances of each approach were extracted, including extent of exposure, bone removal, and selection of appropriate nerve roots. The operative approach preferred at the authors’ institution (the “2 × 3 exposure”) is also detailed.

RESULTS

Five full-text papers were identified from a total of 380 articles. Operative approaches to SDR varied significantly with regard to level of exposure, extent of laminectomy, and identification of nerve roots. The largest exposure involved a multilevel laminectomy, while the smallest exposure involved a keyhole interlaminar approach. At the Hospital for Sick Children, the authors utilize a two-level laminoplasty at the level of the conus medullaris. The benefits and disadvantages of the spectrum of techniques are discussed, and illustrative figures are provided.

CONCLUSIONS

Surgical approaches to SDR vary considerably and are detailed and illustrated in this review as a guide for neurosurgeons. Future studies should address the long-term impact of these techniques on functional outcomes and complications such as spinal deformity.
Currarino syndrome presenting as a cerebrospinal fluid leak from the dermal sinus tract: case report
Authors: Kim Robert B. , Robbins Riann , Rollins Michael D. , Brockmeyer Douglas L.
Published: March 2020

Currarino syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition with variable expressivity and penetrance that is associated with several classic features: sacral dysgenesis, presacral mass, and/or anorectal anomalies. The authors present a unique case in which the patient’s initial presentation was a CSF leak from a sinus tract. The sinus tract was identified and disconnected from the thecal sac, obliterating the anterior sacral meningocele. This case represents a unique scenario in which Currarino syndrome manifested as a CSF leak from a dermal sinus tract.

Published: March 2020

OBJECTIVE

Adult symptomatic lumbar scoliosis (ASLS) is a common and disabling condition. The ASLS-1 was a multicenter, dual-arm study (with randomized and observational cohorts) examining operative and nonoperative care on health-related quality of life in ASLS. An aim of ASLS-1 was to determine patient and radiographic factors that modify the effect of operative treatment for ASLS.

METHODS

Patients 40–80 years old with ASLS were enrolled in randomized and observational cohorts at 9 North American centers. Primary outcomes were the differences in mean change from baseline to 2-year follow-up for the SRS-22 subscore (SRS-SS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Analyses were performed using an as-treated approach with combined cohorts. Factors examined were prespecified or determined using regression tree analysis. For each potential effect modifier, subgroups were created using clinically relevant cutoffs or via regression trees. Estimates of within-group and between-group change were compared using generalized linear mixed models. An effect modifier was defined as a treatment effect difference greater than the minimal detectable measurement difference for both SRS-SS (0.4) and ODI (7).

RESULTS

Two hundred eighty-six patients were enrolled and 256 (90%) completed 2-year follow-up; 171 received operative treatment and 115 received nonoperative treatment. Surgery was superior to nonoperative care for all effect subgroups considered, with the exception of those with nearly normal pelvic incidence−lumbar lordosis (PI–LL) match (≤ 11°). Male patients and patients with more (> 11°) PI–LL mismatch at baseline had greater operative treatment effects on both the SRS-SS and ODI compared to nonoperative treatment. No other radiographic subgroups were associated with treatment effects. High BMI, lower socioeconomic status, and poor mental health were not related to worse outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

Numerous factors previously related to poor outcomes with surgery, such as low mental health, lower socioeconomic status, and high BMI, were not related to outcomes in ASLS in this exploratory analysis. Those patients with higher PI–LL mismatch did improve more with surgery than those with normal alignment. On average, none of the factors considered were associated with a worse outcome with operative treatment versus nonoperative treatment. These findings may guide future prospective analyses of factors related to outcomes in ASLS care.

Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND:

Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma is a rare bladder cancer variant with scarce data on outcomes and prognostic factors.

OBJECTIVE:

We report our institutional experience with this histology to determine response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, definitive surgery and survival.

METHODS:

We conducted a retrospective chart review of consecutive patients with plasmacytoid, as well as conventional urothelial carcinoma (for comparison) seen in our institution (2007– 2018). Baseline characteristics, clinicopathologic and treatment data were captured. T-test, chi-squared and log-rank test was used for group comparison. Kaplan Meier method was used for estimation of overall survival and Cox regression for identification of prognostic factors.

RESULTS:

64 patients with plasmacytoid and 418 with conventional urothelial histology were identified; 53% of those with plasmacytoid presented with cT3/4 stage and 67% underwent extirpative surgery. Patients with plasmacytoid histology had higher rates of pT3/4 (65% vs. 28%), nodal disease (37% vs. 16%) and positive surgical margins (23% vs. 5%) compared to urothelial group ( p < 0.01), as well as higher incidence of post-operative recurrence (47% vs. 29%, p = 0.05) and lower ypT0N0 rates after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (10% vs. 33%, p = 0.03). Plasmacytoid histology was associated with lower median overall survival compared to conventional urothelial (24 vs. 154 months, p < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS:

Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma frequently presented with advanced stage at diagnosis and extirpative surgery, poor pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and inferior outcomes, when compared to conventional urothelial. Prospective trials evaluating upfront cystectomy versus preoperative chemotherapy and/or novel treatments should be considered.
Comparison of conservative treatment with and without neural mobilization for patients with low back pain: A prospective, randomized clinical trial
Authors: Kurt Vedat , Aras Ozgen , Buker Nihal
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) is a common problem that causes pain, disability, and gait and balance problems. Neurodynamic techniques are used in the treatment of LBP. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of electrotherapy and neural mobilization on pain, functionality, gait, and balance in patients with LBP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 41 patients were randomly assigned to either the neural mobilization group (NMG, n= 20) or electrotherapy group (ETG, n= 21). Assessment tools used were Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for functionality, straight leg raise test (SLRT) for neural involvement, and baropedographic platform (Zebris FDM-2TM) for gait and static balance measurements. RESULTS: Both groups showed a significant decrease in pain and functional disability, while only the NMG group showed a significant increase in SLRT scores (p< 0.05). However, there were no statistically significant pre- to post-treatment changes in gait or static balance parameters in either group (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION: Neural mobilization was effective in reducing pain and improving functionality and SLRT performance in patients with LBP, but induced no change in gait and static balance parameters. Neural mobilization may be used as self-practice to supplement standard treatment programs.

Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND: Adaptation to Turkish language and validation studies of Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score – Physical Function Short Form (KOOS-PS) and Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score – Physical Function Short Form (HOOS-PS) were done previously but responsiveness to changes of these questionnaires could not be tested in these studies. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the responsiveness of the Turkish versions of the KOOS-PS and HOOS-PS in a patient group who underwent knee or hip joint arthroplasty operation. METHODS: Sixty-three patients who underwent total knee arthroplasties and sixteen patients who underwent total hip arthroplasties for primary osteoarthritis were included in this study. The preoperative and 3-month postoperative KOOS-PS, HOOS-PS, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index hip and knee scores were collected from the hospital records, and the effect sizes (ESs) and standardized response means (SRMs) were calculated. RESULTS: The ESs and SRMs, respectively, were as follows: -1.954 and -2.156 for the KOOS-PS, -1.833 and -2.464 for the HOOS-PS, -4.848 and -4.210 for the WOMAC-knee, and -3.835 and -4.625 for the WOMAC-hip. CONCLUSIONS: The Turkish versions of the KOOS-PS and HOOS-PS exhibited strong responsiveness to change in the arthroplasty patients.
Iterated shape-bias graph cut with application to ellipse segmentation
Authors: Sun Xin , Li Dong , Wang Wei , Yao Hongxun , Xu Dongliang , Du Zhanwei , Sun Mingui
Published: March 2020

We present a novel graph cut method for iterated segmentation of objects with specific shape bias (SBGC). In contrast with conventional graph cut models which emphasize the regional appearance only, the proposed SBGC takes the shape preference of the interested object into account to drive the segmentation. Therefore, the SBGC can ensure a more accurate convergence to the interested object even in complicated conditions where the appearance cues are inadequate for object/background discrimination. In particular, we firstly evaluate the segmentation by simultaneously considering its global shape and local edge consistencies with the object shape priors. Then these two cues are formulated into a graph cut framework to seek the optimal segmentation that maximizing both of the global and local measurements. By iteratively implementing the optimization, the proposed SBGC can achieve joint estimation of the optimal segmentation and the most likely object shape encoded by the shape priors, and eventually converge to the candidate result with maximum consistency between these two estimations. Finally, we take the ellipse shape objects with various segmentation challenges as examples for evaluation. Competitive results compared with state-of-the-art methods validate the effectiveness of the technique.
Achieving the best defuzzifier in terminology of Persian sentences through classified fuzzy method
Authors: Pirayesh Pardis , Motameni Homayun , Akbari Ebrahim
Published: March 2020

Fuzzy logic is a multi-valued concept, whose emergence in software sciences has eliminated 0 and 1 computations, putting them within an infinite space of [0,1]. This characteristic of fuzzy logic has resolved ambiguity in numerous previous problems. The sentence roles in Persian language were specified based on the fuzzy logic’s capability to resolve ambiguity. For that purpose, we first obtained the best classification for each defuzzifier, based on which a classified fuzzy was implemented. Nonetheless, the fuzzy system used in this research was classified based on statistical computations. To achieve the best classification, five defuzzification methods (Mean Of Max, Max Of Membership, Largest Of Max, Smallest Of Max, and Central Average) competed in 16 roles each in five classes (different matrices). Finally, Mean of Max with a success rate of 64% proved to be a defuzzifier delivering the best output among 5 different defuzzification methods.
Deep-learning based forecasting sampling frequency of biosensors in wireless body area networks
Authors: Mehrani Mohammad , Attarzadeh Iman , Hosseinzadeh Mehdi
Published: March 2020

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have been introduced as a useful way in controlling health status of the monitored patients, during recent years. Each WBAN includes a number of biosensors attached to the patient’s body, collecting his vital sign features and communicating them to the coordinator to make appropriate decisions. Managing energy consumption of biosensors and continuous monitoring of the patients are two main issues in WBANs. Hence, denoting efficient sampling frequency of biosensors is very important in WBANs. In this paper, we propose a scheme which aims at determining and forecasting sampling rate of active biosensors in WBANs. In this regard, from the first round until a certain round, the sampling rate of biosensors would be determined. Accordingly, we introduce our modified Fisher test, develop spline interpolation method and introduce three main parameters. These parameters are information of patient’s activity, patient’s risk and pivot biosensor’s value. Then, by employing mentioned parameters in addition to the introduced statistical and mathematical based strategies, the sampling rate of active biosensors in the next round would be determined at the end of each entire round. By reaching a pre-denoted round, the sampling rate of biosensors would be predicted through forecasting methods. For this purpose, we develop two machine learning based techniques namely Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). For estimation our approaches we simulate them in MATLAB R2018b software. Simulation results demonstrate that our methods can decrease the number of communicated data by 81%, reduce energy expenditure of biosensors by 73% and forecast the sampling rate of biosensors in the future rounds with 97% accuracy and 2.2753 RMSE.
Julio Pereyra – Una visión fenomenológica del peronismo como filosofía igualitaria
Authors: Soprano Pablo , Basu Ratan Lal
Published: March 2020

Este artículo se realizó para explorar las relaciones entre el peronismo como filosofía y práctica política relacionado con otras filosofías. Se busca establecer las diferencias entre las ideologías imperantes en el mundo –si aún existen- y las acciones concretas tomadas de estas ideologías para identificar las propias del peronismo y su relación con el neoliberalismo. Se entrevistó a un dirigente del peronismo histórico seleccionado por su trayectoria para luego realizar un análisis crítico de su discurso. Se encontró que pese a los intentos del capitalismo para destruir conceptos ideológicos que establezcan vínculos intelectuales entre las personas y convertirlos en individuos consumidores todavía persisten actores sociales que intentan lograr equidad y armonía entre los ciudadanos. Este hallazgo tiende a rescatar valores humanos de fraternidad y realización colectiva destruidos por los medios hegemónicos de manipulación global que aíslan a los integrantes de una sociedad para poder manipularla de manera emocional y anular el pensamiento crítico.

Volcanic, sedimentary, and deformation history of Winter Lake greenstone belt, Slave craton, Northwest Territories: preliminary results from the 2019 field season
Authors: Alain Valentin , DeWolfe Michelle , Partin Camille , Knox Bernadette
Published: March 2020

The Archean Winter Lake greenstone belt (WGB) in the Slave craton, located ~250 km northeast of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories, has been underexplored relative to other supracrustal belts in the Slave craton, but shows potential for base-metal mineralization. It consists of lower greenschist to upper amphibolite grade mafic to felsic volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks that are surrounded by ca. 3.3 to 2.9 Ga granitoids of the Central Slave Basement Complex (CSBC). The overall objective of this study is to better understand the origin and geodynamic evolution of the WGB and to evaluate its economic potential. The project will examine the tectonic setting of volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the WGB and their relationships to the CSBC granitoids.

In 2019, three weeks were spent bedrock mapping near Newbigging Lake and one week near Big Bear Lake (at 1:5,000 and 1:10,000 scales, respectively) to generate a lithostratigraphic scheme for the southern WGB. This mapping evaluated the nature of contacts, previously interpreted as unconformities, between the CSBC, the ca. 2734-2924 Ma Central Slave Cover Group (CSCG) volcanic and sedimentary rocks, and post-volcanic sedimentary and granitoid rocks (Hrabi et al., 1995). Mapping near Big Bear Lake also allowed the examination of a previously mapped ~ 1.3-1.7 km wide rhyolite interpreted to be part of the ca. 3.3 Ga Newbigging Formation (Hrabi et al., 1995). Based on field observations, the formation does not include a rhyolite sensu stricto but rather a succession of weathered mafic to intermediate volcanic and intrusive rocks. This field season, the first of three, also led to the discovery of several semi-massive to massive sulfide showings within the mafic volcanic sequence, and the identification of sulfides (interpreted as remobilised) and multiple younging indicators within the younger conglomerate unit that are necessary for our lithostratigraphy study.

Future U-Pb geochronological analysis of detrital zircon and Sm-Nd isotope geochemistry of metasedimentary rocks will enable us to determine their sources and age. Together with absolute timing of thermotectonic events, an Archean oceanic and continental crust geodynamic evolution model will be produced.  An additional goal of this study is to identify the ore-forming environment for the sulfide mineralization and to generate an ore-deposit model for the mineralisation observed in the WGB.

Published: March 2020

This report focused on force acting on the hydraulic scissor lift when it is extended and contracted. Generally, a hydraulic scissor lift is used for lifting. Material selection plays a key role in designing a machine and also influence on several factor such as durability, reliability, strength, resistance which finally leads to increase the life of scissor lift. The following project describes the fabrication of a hydraulic scissor lift. Conventionally a scissor lift is used for lifting the body to appreciable height, and many other applications also such lifts can be used for various purposes like maintenance and many material handling operations. It can be of mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic type. The design described in the report is developed by keeping in mind that the lift can be operated by mechanical means by using pantograph shaped scissor, so that the overall cost of the scissor lift is reduced. The upward motion is achieved by the application of hydraulic cylinder which is placed vertically. In our case upward motion of the lift was to be designed in a portable manner and also which works without consuming any electric power so we decided to use a hydraulic cylinder.

Titanium and its alloys are the most commonly and most widely used due to its significant properties like good biocompatibility , good tensile strength , low density , and good creep property up to 300 degrees centigrade .It is used in the major engineering fields like civil engineering , nuclear engineering , aerospace engineering etc., but the welding of titanium in industries has become a major challenging objective to the fabricators because, a lot of titanium alloys are found in the form of sheets , problem arises mainly while fabricating the space crafts , marine bodies , jet engine’s where the ends are need to be joined through welding with a similar or dissimilar metals and titanium possess to have a very high tendency to oxidize at higher temperatures .As Titanium becomes highly reactive to chemicals in its environment. In regular air, welding contaminates titanium with carbides, nitrides, and oxides that make the weld and HAZ (heat-affected zone) brittle, resulting in lower fatigue resistance and notch toughness. so, In order to get a perfect weld it is very important to avoid the molten metal to the exposure of atmospheric air , which will lead to porosity and results into a poor welding conditions or welding defects. This paper reviews the different methods of welding titanium and its alloys.

MAGDEBURG LOGISTICS MODEL – THE SMART LOGISTICS ZONE AS A CONCEPT FOR ENABLING LOGISTICS 4.0 TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Schmidtke Niels , Glistau Elke , Behrendt Fabian
Published: March 2020

Intelligent linking in the context of Industry 4.0 alters the objectives and possibilities of designing logistics solutions in the production economy today and tomorrow [1]. There is a growing need for an expanded theory of logistics that helps to characterize existing solutions as well as systematically develop new solutions and bring them together effectively and efficiently. The objectives are the development of a model of thinking and a procedure model for current and future logistics solutions including Logistics 4.0. The article explains the newly developed "Smart Logistics Zone" (SLZ). The SLZ is defined as a scalable examination and action area for analysis, evaluation, planning, control, regulation and (re-) configuration of logistics solutions [2]. New to the thinking model are the generation of solutions from (logistic) objects, pro-cesses, systems and the relevant infrastructure as well as the scalability of the considered zone. The framework model provides a quantifiable target system. The process model in turn allows a systematic solution development using method and technology databases. Several possible views on logistics, which are considered as aspects in the SLZ, are being elaborated. Other aspects of the presented concept such as intelligence and spatial categories are discussed as well. In the outlook a sample factory serves as a scalable examination area for the SLZ. In its application, the SLZ demonstrates a new perspective on the analysis, planning and evaluation of logistics systems. The approach is designed as a scalable tool. It can be adaptively applicable to various intralogistic and extralogistic problems.
