Pengaruh Maeketing Mix terhadap Keputusan Pembelian pada Ferry Jaya Motor Lamongan

The development of a company result in increasingly tight competition. To be able to face the competition, the company must have an efficient marketing strategy to offer its products to consumers. One such strategy is a marketing mix consisting of product, price, promotion and place. The strategy is also used by Ferry Jaya Motor Lamongan that is able to influence the purchasing decision of motor in lamongan area and its surroundings. Looking at the above phenomenon researchers interested in doing research on the influence of marketing mix variables on purchasing decisions on Ferry Jaya Motor Lamongan. The purpose of this research is to know the role of marketing mix that is Product, Price, Promotion, distribution to purchasing decision at Ferry Jaya Motor Lamongan. This research uses multiple regression analysis and hypothesis test (T and F test) with Likert scale. The sample used is 85 respondents. Based on incidental sampling technique method. the sampling technique by chance, ie anyone who met with researchers at the time that researchers have taken that is in October 2017 until february 2018. The test results simultaneously show product variables, price, promotion and distribution together have a significant effect on the decision purchase at Ferry Jaya Motor Lamongan with Fhitung equal to 92,877> 2,49. While the test partially shows product variables (X1) of 2.570, the price (X2) of 1.796, promotion (X3) of 2.967 and the distribution (X4) of 4.624 significant effect on purchasing decision Y. And variable distribution (X4) purchase decision on Ferry Jaya Motor Lamonga

Method for automated requirement checking in social housing projects

One of the possible strategies for improving the quality of construction projects is the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), which involves innovations in information technology and changes in critical processes. In the social housing sector in Brazil, the need to evaluate a large number of projects proposed for funding in a very short time frame is a major challenge. Automated design checking has been pointed out as one of the main opportunities for the use of BIM in the building industry. The evaluation of social housing projects by governmental bodies is often based mainly on the experience of construction professionals, which may result in lack of uniformity in the criteria adopted, and in a time consuming and costly process. The aim of this research study is to propose a method for automated checking of requirements for the design of social housing projects by using BIM. This method was tested in two housing projects funded by the Minha Casa, Minha Vida programme, and compared to the manual process. This investigation also makes contributions related to the understanding of the nature of the requirements involved in this type of project, and discusses the process changes needed to introduce automated design checking.

Effect of surcharge on on the stability of anchored rock slope with water filled tension crack under seismic loading condition

In this paper, an analytical expression is derived for the factor of safety of the rock slope incorporating most of the practically occurring destabilizing forces as well as the external stabilizing force through an anchoring system. The slope stability is analyzed as a two-dimensional problem, considering a slice of unit thickness through the\ud slope and assuming negligible resistance to sliding at the lateral boundaries of the sliding block. A detailed\ud parametric study is presented to investigate the effect\ud of surcharge on the stability of the rock slope for practical ranges of governing parameters such as\ud inclination of the slope face, inclination of the failure\ud plane, depth of tension crack, depth of water in tension crack, shear strength parameters of the material at the failure plane, unit weight of rock, stabilizing force and its inclination, and seismic load. For the range of parameters considered in the present study, it is found that the factor of safety of the rock slope decreases with increase in surcharge; the rate of decrease being relatively higher for lower values of surcharge. It is also observed that for a specific surcharge, the factor of safety depends significantly on all other parameters, except for unit weight of rock and higher values of inclination of stabilizing force to the normal at the failure plane. For any combination of these variables, the surcharge plays a vital role in the stability. A perfectly stable slope at relatively low surcharge can become unsafe with the increase in surcharge. The deterioration in the stability can be quite rapid, depending on the combination of the factors under consideration. The analysis and the\ud general expression proposed herein can be used to carry out a quantitative assessment of the stability of the rock slopes

Students’ perceptions of BIM education in the higher education sector: A UK and US perspective

© The Author(s) 2017. The use of building information modelling (BIM) has increased in the global architecture, engineering, construction and owner-operated (AECO) industries. This increased use has contributed to a recognition by project stakeholders of its importance across the building life cycle, leading higher education institutions to rethink their AECO provisions. There has been much debate about how BIM should be employed in undergraduate curricula: should it be included as a stand-alone subject in a programme or as an underlying theme across the programme? Research has also been conducted into theories of practice with regard to BIM education. This article builds on previous research in the codeBIM project and describes students’ perceptions of current practice in the United States and the United Kingdom. The article begins with a literature review of current theories of BIM teaching in AECO and a summary of good practice. The use of focus groups is described and the findings from focus group sessions held in the United Kingdom and the United States are discussed. The authors identify six key areas required for BIM to be inclusive in higher education: collaborative curricula, space, teamwork, relevance to the industry, technical/technological skills and the role of the professor or lecturer. Each of these areas is discussed in light of the findings from the focus groups
