Power supply enterprises must optimize and improve the power supply mode to meet the demand of power consumers. Steam turbines in coal-fired power plants are the infrastructure that keeps the electricity flowing. With the increase of the total power supply pressure, the operating load of the turbine increases gradually. Under the condition of high load and long working time, some defects will appear in the operation of steam turbines, especially when the external load pressure exceeds the expected fixed value of the equipment, which will lead to a large amount of energy loss and increase the operation cost of enterprises.展开更多

The overall energy efficiency of the system can be optimised by studying the POET energy efficiency components. For an existing energy system, the improvement of operation efficiency will usually be a quick win for energy efficiency. Therefore, operation efficiency improvement will be the main purpose of this paper. General procedures to establish operation efficiency optimisation models are presented. Model predictive control, a popular technique in modern control theory, is applied to solve the obtained energy models. From the case studies in water pumping systems, model predictive control will have a prosperous application in more energy efficiency problems.展开更多

An arm roll forwarder can only load a steel container that has been fully loaded with logs beforehand, and can later unload such a container. Such a forwarder can shorten the loading and untoading times and improve operational efficiency. We examined two operation systems with an arm roll forwarder and a forwarder. In the first system the loading was done with a grapple-loader. In the second system the loading was done with a processor. The loading times of an arm roll forwarder were significantly tess than those of a forwarder. Because the optimal cycle times （excluding the waiting times for an arm roll for- warder） were significantly reduced, the costs of using an arm roll for- warder are lower, although the loading capacity was small and the hourly operation cost was high. The maximum operational efficiencies varied depending on forwarding distances. The second operation system with an arm roll forwarder exhibited the best operational efficiency within a 1,580-m forwarding distance, and beyond that distance it exhibited the highest operational efficiency when a forwarder was used. Similarly, the cost of operation of the system with an arm roll forwarder was the lowest within a 1,130-m forwarding distance, and beyond that distance the cost was the lowest when using the forwarder. Therefore, the arm roll for- warder is effective within a certain forwarding distance.展开更多

We developed equations to estimate densities of road networks with average slope angles, operational efficiency of bunching operations with road network density, and average forwarding distances with operation site areas. Subsequently, we analyzed the effects of aggregating forests, establishing forest road networks, and mechanization on operational efficiency and costs. Six ha proved to be an appropriate operation site area with minimum operation expenses. The operation site areas of the forest owners＇ cooperative in this region aggregated approximately 6 ha and the cooperative conducted forestry operations on aggregated sites. Therefore, 6 ha would be an appropriate operation site area in this region. Regarding road network density, higher-density road networks increased operational expenses due to the higher direct operational expenses of strip road establishment. Therefore, road network density should be reduced to approximately 200 m.展开更多

Currently, most administrative tasks in companies heavily rely on human resources, with skilled management staff using their expertise to oversee business operations. However, this approach is susceptible to human subjective biases. The method assists managers in formulating efficient strategies for implementing management measures and enhancing the effectiveness of production, sales, financial, and people organization structure management. This ultimately leads to a more evidence-based approach to corporate management. This technique expands the utilization of Web services from a strategy focused on integrating services to a comprehensive framework for Service-Oriented Computing (SOC). The primary focus is implementing WS-session to manage sessions in general Web services applications, defining a bidirectional entire duplex interface for communication in Web services, and developing the Web Services Initiation Protocol, presenting WIP, a thorough multimedia and voice communication framework constructed using Web services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The office automation management system, created utilizing ASP.net and SQL Server technology, encompasses the evaluation of viability, analysis of needs, and system design. Office automation refers to using equipment with computing capabilities to carry out various office tasks and utilize associated tools and applications. Office automation uses computer-based systems to collect, organize, and modify visual and auditory information to enhance business energy efficiency and time management. Office automation refers to auto-mating essential tasks employees perform, including identification, automatic appointment reminders, and automatic power management for personal computers. The employee image is obtained through the utilization of the Java media framework. Attendance data for all employees are collected and methodically examined. The database enables the retrieval of these records monthly or weekly. An office automation system offers organizations enhanced features for managing office information, significantly improving office efficiency and quality. Moreover, it improves office administration and decision-making procedures by automating and strengthening the scientific elements of office functions. The ongoing progress of organizational information technology has led to a strong focus on sharing information resources in scientific research initiatives. Conventional firms exhibit intricate company processes, inadequate managerial efficacy, and unnecessarily elevated operational expenses, resulting in diminished competitiveness. Thus, using an ERP management system is the optimal decision for organizations to restore their crucial competitive advantage. This technology enhances their operational methods, streamlines their operations, and enhances transparency in their operational approaches. The system comprises six modules: buy plan, purchase order, purchase contract, purchase document inquiry, purchase to order, and purchase return. These modules effectively meet the operational needs of enterprises.展开更多

Determining an optimal learning rate for training Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) has remained a challenging task due to the diverse sizes, complexity, and types of data involved. Design/Method/Approach: This research used a RandomizedSearchCV algorithm, a random search approach, to bridge this knowledge gap. The algorithm was applied to container dwell time data from the TOS system of the Port of Tema, which included 307,594 container records from 2014 to 2022. Findings: The RandomizedSearchCV method outperformed standard training methods both in terms of reducing training time and improving prediction accuracy, highlighting the significant role of the constant learning rate as a hyperparameter. Research Limitations and Implications: Although the study provides promising outcomes, the results are limited to the data extracted from the Port of Tema and may differ in other contexts. Further research is needed to generalize these findings across various port systems. Originality/Value: This research underscores the potential of RandomizedSearchCV as a valuable tool for optimizing ANN training in container dwell time prediction. It also accentuates the significance of automated learning rate selection, offering novel insights into the optimization of container dwell time prediction, with implications for improving port efficiency and supply chain operations.展开更多

The ongoing progress of organizational information technology has led to a strong focus on sharing information resources in scientific research initiatives. Conventional firms exhibit intricate company processes, inadequate managerial efficacy, and unnecessarily elevated operational expenses, resulting in diminished competitiveness. Thus, using an ERP management system is the optimal decision for organizations to restore their crucial competitive advantage. This technology enhances their operational methods, streamlines their operations, and enhances transparency in their operational approaches. The system comprises six modules: buy plan, purchase order, purchase contract, purchase document inquiry, purchase to order, and purchase return. These modules effectively meet the operational needs of enterprises.
文摘Purpose: This study aimed to enhance the prediction of container dwell time, a crucial factor for optimizing port operations, resource allocation, and supply chain efficiency. Determining an optimal learning rate for training Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) has remained a challenging task due to the diverse sizes, complexity, and types of data involved. Design/Method/Approach: This research used a RandomizedSearchCV algorithm, a random search approach, to bridge this knowledge gap. The algorithm was applied to container dwell time data from the TOS system of the Port of Tema, which included 307,594 container records from 2014 to 2022. Findings: The RandomizedSearchCV method outperformed standard training methods both in terms of reducing training time and improving prediction accuracy, highlighting the significant role of the constant learning rate as a hyperparameter. Research Limitations and Implications: Although the study provides promising outcomes, the results are limited to the data extracted from the Port of Tema and may differ in other contexts. Further research is needed to generalize these findings across various port systems. Originality/Value: This research underscores the potential of RandomizedSearchCV as a valuable tool for optimizing ANN training in container dwell time prediction. It also accentuates the significance of automated learning rate selection, offering novel insights into the optimization of container dwell time prediction, with implications for improving port efficiency and supply chain operations.
