    Operational managers handbook to information technology outsourcing

    Get PDF
    The academic, consulting, and business community is inundated with books, articles, web sites, and consulting services devoted to IT Outsourcing. As the technology advances and the business community gains practical experience in the area, outsourcing options require constant updating. This handbook provides the sequence of business process steps along with numerous guidelines, checklists, and detailed descriptions for developing a successful outsourcing contract. What is unique about the handbook is that it synthesizes the organizational, cultural, and political aspects of the enterprise that form the underpinnings for the development of a successful outsourcing function within the enterprise. The handbook then delves into the formation of a successful contracting team describing the skill set of the team members and their organization from the planning through the implementation stages of the outsourcing process. Last, the handbook provides the content detail and rationale of the three stages of contract formulation - Request For Information (RFI); Request For Proposal; and the Contract itself

    Overcoming Barriers for the Wide-scale Adoption of Standardized Real-time Transit Information

    Get PDF
    In the last few years, a real-time counterpart to GTFS, GTFS-realtime [10], has begun to emerge, with agencies sharing their real-time data in this format. Previously, real-time transit information had only been shared in proprietary formats specific to each vendor or agency. GTFS-realtime offers the opportunity for application developers to create a mobile app that can function across a large number of cities and agencies, and for practitioners and researchers to be able to easily study and compare actual system performance across different transit systems using the same tools, without the overhead of manually transforming data into a consistent format. Having real-time transit data available in a common format is a key pillar for real-time multimodal information systems

    Nodal Project Evaluation Applied to Large-Scale Renewable Energy Procurment: A case analysis of Massachusetts clean energy initiative

    Get PDF
    Abstract Evaluating a large number of renewable energy project proposals received in response to a single Request for Proposals (RFP) in a consistent manner independent of size and technology and fully cognizant of location and timing is a significant challenge. The current paper presents a methodology and set of tools for preparing a comparative quantitative evaluation of the economic and environmental benefits and costs of the renewable project proposals over a 25-year time horizon. The paper presents a case study of the large-scale renewable energy procurements undertaken in 2018 to comply with Massachusetts energy diversity and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals mandated under its “Green Communities Act” of 2008 and Global Warming Solutions Act” of 2008. Section 83D of the Green Communities Act requires Massachusetts electric distribution companies (EDCs) to acquire 9,450 gigawatt hours per year of cost-effective renewable energy. The quantitative evaluation of each proposed renewable project is based on a scenario analysis approach in which a simulation modeling tool calculates energy costs and GHG emissions in the Northeast region (New England and New York) over the evaluation period for a “but for” case without any of the proposed renewable projects and for individual cases for each proposed renewable project. Working from a single database structure, the simulation modeling tool moves from a 30-year, annual resource adequacy module, to an hourly, nodal, 20-year plus SCUC / SCD, to a detailed capacity market valuation model. The simulation modeling system (ENELYTIX) operates with cloud-based technology utilizing user-friendly Excel interfacing with complex data / information transfer from an OLAP cube on the cloud to users’ workstations

    Design of a tool to drive improved supply chain planning decisions within the semiconductor industry

    Get PDF
    This is the Final Thesis wrote by Pol Aguirre Antonell within Infineon Technologies during the spring semester of 2023. The title of the Thesis is the Design of a tool to drive improved Supply Chain Planning decisions within the semiconductor Industry. We start of explaining the context to understand the necessity of agile planning tools and data analysis within the team. How the Supply Chain and the production of semiconductor products is key for a prosperous European semiconductor segment. To have a good understanding of the needs of the team and company, we study and present the Supply Chain Planning process of Infineon. Having this knowledge, we can start the process of creating the right and best tool to solve the knowledge gap between planning allocation and revenue impacts. To do so we benchmark the existing Data tools and solutions within Infineon Technologies, and we choose to create a Tableau Dashboard. This Dashboard will be connected to an automated data-source. Managed by a Tableau prep flow connected to the Data-lake through Cloudera Hadoop. Coding the Dashboard, it has also been an important practical part of this Thesis and it is presented in Chapter 6. Effective coding, seems simple, light, and easier to explain. Maybe you can explain that most complexity comes from the Waterfall chart whereas the rest requires less workarounds. Overall, we present the use of Tableau workarounds towards a lean dashboarding, and a one-stop dashboard. Lean Dashboarding is as important as having accurate data , and in Chapter 7 there is explanations on how and why the dashboard meets the design and interactivity requirements set by the different stakeholders and key users. To finalize, we study some business analysis that derives uniquely thanks to the report. In this las part we address how the team can integrate the findings from this analysis into their process. Overall, the thesis includes all steps of creating a Data Analysis tool and Dashboard. From idea to result

    A Qualitative Study of Industry and Air Force Commodity Council Processes

    Get PDF
    The purpose of this research was to compare industry and Air Force commodity council processes. More specifically, this research used a survey to gather strategic sourcing philosophies and procedures (with respect to small business participation in procurement strategies) from successful industry firms. Industry source selection documentation, applicable government contracting guidelines, and a literature review of strategic sourcing materials were also reviewed. The current Air Force commodity council process and associated historical documents were then studied using a business process modeling tool. It was determined that the Air Force process differs from industry in how small business participation is addressed, the level of detail provided in their source selection guidance, and the manner in which industry business practices are utilized. A modified Air Force commodity council process model and associated commodity council implementation and operations guide (IG5307.104-93) was proposed
