Study Performance On Medical Faculty Building of Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta With Pushover Analysis

The Medical Faculty Building of Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta is a building with six floors of lectures planned able to withstand the maximum earthquake load forces to the earthquake area 3. With the new facility in the world of construction especially in analyzing a structure-based force of quake happens, namely one with pushover analysis. This analysis uses the improved lateral load (increment) gradually until the onset of the plastic hinge and collapsed. This analysis objectives at knowing the capacity curves, peformance point, and formation stages of plastis hinge until the building collapsed structures. Research methods using pushover analysis procedure for A method of spectrum capacity ATC-40. This performance analysis by providing lateral static force with multiplier gradually until a point of reference the structure undergoes a displacement. Planning with partially ductile designing a scheme collapse joint plastis occur in beams first and then followed by the last column. By pro viding a static earthquake force on Y direction by gradually until the building collapsed. The results of the analysis showed that the largest base shear force was 1030,184 tons in the 4th step pushover analysis. Based on the capacity curves obtained peformance point shows base share force V t = 706,779 tons displacement at the 3rd step is 1,2695 m > 0,093 m (D t ). The performance of the structure does not cross the line IO (Immediate Occupancy). Maximum total drift is 0,0041 and a maximum total drift inelastic is 0.003. Thus shows that the building be reviewed is included in levels of Immediate Occupancy (OI). On the third itration, condition of plastis hinges when earthquake force exceeded still to stage a performance of Immediate Occupancy. But the pushover analysis will be impose the structure for suffered a collapse with the indicated first on the 16th step and itration stop at 6th step. The results of the last itration has a very far itration distance when peformance point shows partially ductile concept namely weak beam strong column is not achieved. With shown by the first plastis hinge decreased performance on the column. However the building peformance in the earthquake force plan shows very good and safe results, building in the Immediate Occupancy performance. So if an earthquake with maximum force then the structure will only be having a bit of damage to structures and non-structure and the building can be directly reused

An Analysis of Construction Cost and Schedule Performance

Cost and schedule performance are widely accepted in the literature and in industry as effective measures of the success of the project management effort expended. Earned Value Analysis (EVA) offers many metrics to objectively measure cost and schedule performance of many different types of projects. The author utilized EVA to objectively measure the cost and schedule performance of completed United States Air Force (AF) Military Construction (MILCON projects from 1990 to 2005. The impact of Major Command (MAJCOM), Construction Agent (CA), and facility type (CATCODE) and the combination of these variables on the EVA metrics of Cost Performance Index (CPI), Time Performance Index (TPI), and CPI*TPI were evaluated. The CPI results indicate that AF MILCON projects are typically executed either on or below their respective budgets. Conversely, the TPI results indicate that AF MILCON projects typically take more time than expected for construction. The CPI*TPI results indicate that the AF MILCON projects in this study typically exchange higher cost performance for lower time performance. However, when CPI and TPI are given equal weight, the sacrifice made in time performance is greater than the benefit gained in cost performance

The Implementation of Learning Organization in Order to Increase Supply Chain Performance in SPR Maju Bersama Bojonegoro

Sekolah Peternakan Rakyat (SPR) Maju Bersama was formed 3 years ago. SPR Maju Bersama still has some weaknesses in terms of human resource and supply chain performance. Learning organizations are needed for organizations to form an organization that can continuously run independent learning process, so that it has a fast thinking and acting to respond any changes. Therefore, SPR has to implement the learning organization. This paper aims to identify the effect of learning organization on supply chain performance in SPR Maju Bersama. A Model was developed and tested with quantitative and qualitative analysis. A total of 99 members of Sekolah Peternakan Rakyat Maju Bersama were used as data in this study. Quantitative data were analyzed using Structural Equation Mode- Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results showed that learning organization had a positive impact on supply chain performance but not significant. Supply chain driver had a positive and significant impact on supply chain performance. Supply chain driver was significantly impacted by learning organization. Leadership style had a positive and significant impact on learning organization. SPR Maju Bersama needs to optimize its facility and information utility as a strategy to improve its supply chain performance

Applying revenue management to agent-based transportation planning

We consider a multi-company, less-than-truckload, dynamic VRP based on the concept of multi-agent systems. We focus on the intelligence of one vehicle agent and especially on its bidding strategy. We address the problem how to price loads that are offered in real-time such that available capacity is used in the most profitable way taking into account possible future revenues. We develop methods to price loads dynamically based on revenue management concepts.\ud We consider a one leg problem, i.e., a vehicle travels from i to j and can wait at most τ time units in which it can get additional loads from i to j. We develop a DP to price loads given a certain amount of remaining capacity and an expected number of auctions in the time-to-go. Because a DP might be impractical if parameters change frequently and bids has to be determined in real-time, we derived two approximations to speed up calculations. The performance of these approximations are compared with the performance of the DP. Besides we introduce a new measure to calculate the average vehicle utilisation in consolidated shipments. This measure can be calculated based on a limited amount of data and gives an indication of the efficiency of schedules and the performance of vehicles

“Triple Bottom Line” as “Sustainable Corporate Performance”: A Proposition for the Future

Based upon a review of corporate performance, corporate financial performance and corporate social performance, we propose that the concept of ―triple bottom line‖ (TBL) as ―sustainable corporate performance‖ (SCP) should consist of three measurement elements, namely: (i) financial, (ii) social and (iii) environmental. TBL as SCP is proposed to be derived from the interface between them. We also propose that the content of each of these measurement elements may vary across contexts and over time. Furthermore, TBL as SCR should be interpreted to be a relative concept that is dynamic and iterative. Continuous monitoring needs to be performed, adapting the content of the measurement elements to changes that evolve across contexts and over time in the marketplace and society. TBL as SCP may be seen as a function of time and context. Keywords: triple bottom line; sustainable corporate performance; corporate social performance; financial performanc

Maximizing Strategy with an Effective Balanced Scorecard

The research was conducted by studying the literature on the topic discussed. Presented descriptively in a systematic way to address each of the key discussion on this research, then connecting factors correlated with each other were finally seeking a conclusion the most effective method in meeting the company's goals. Then, through this study it can be concluded that in order to synergize between vision, mission and strategy of the company in regard to improving the company's performance is by communicating the balanced scorecard from top management down to the lower level of management so that all elements of the company know their respective roles in order to achieve company's goal
