Eindrapport "Haalbaarheid van directe elektriciteitsopwekking uit warmte met een thermo elektrische generator"
In het in dit rapport beschreven onderzoek wordt gekeken of warmte beter benut kan worden door gebruik te maken van thermo elektrische generatoren (TEG). TEG's maken gebruik van het zogenaamde Seebeck effect om warmte direct te converteren in elektriciteit. De doelstelling van het in dit rapport beschreven onderzoek is om een eerste globaal inzicht te geven in de technische en economische haalbaarheid van de toepassing van TEG in de glastuinbou
Triage heuristic : quantification of the implementation
This report has been written as a result of a simulation study in which the impact of the implementation of a particular redesign heuristic has been quantified. The heuristic investigated in this study is the triage heuristic (Reijers, 2003). In order to be able to make a quantification of the impact of the implementation, a set of models has been created. These models have been simulated and the results have been analyzed and compared. Finally conclusions have been drawn, based on the results of the output analysis

Knock-out heuristic : quantification of the implementation
This report has been written as a result of a simulation study in which the impact of the implementation of a particular redesign heuristic has been quantified. The heuristic investigated in this study is the knock-out heuristic (Reijers, 2003), (Van der Aalst, 2000). In order to be able to make a quantification of the impact of the implementation, a set of models has been created. These models have been simulated and the results have been analyzed and compared. Finally conclusions have been drawn, based on the results of the output analysi
Business process redesign for effective e-commerce processes in the service industry
Many companies have found out the hard way that successful e-commerce requires more than a flashy web presence. Existing business processes must be seamlessly integrated with the new, electronic form of interaction with suppliers and customers. Despite this insight, little research has focused on the transformation of doing business to achieve the presumed benefits of e-commerce. This paper gives directions on how processes may be reengineered with this aim, particularly within the service industry. The presented views are based on existing research into Business Process Reengineering best practices. Careful consideration in this paper is given to the description ofthe conceptual background, which is used to classify existing research and to position the contribution of this paper. The guidelines which are discussed are illustrated by process models, represented by UML Activity diagrams
