E-Enabled Operations Management
Although the theory of operations management has been presented in many textbooks published in the last two decades, the subject of e-enabled operations management is rather short of easily accessible literature. The approach to operations management described in this book is unusual with respect to what is found in standard textbooks. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) impact the ways firms are organised and managed, and as a consequence change the practical means used to conduct business operations. The features of this book are threefold. System approach to business modelling: Business activities, controlling functions and associated information systems are described within ...
Organization and Pedagogy of Complexity
Organization and Pedagogy of Complexity deals with real systems, their architecture, and speaks of those who design, develop and maintain them. After a summary of the architecture proposed by Daniel Krob, president of CESAMES in Paris, France, the book focuses on the sensor and effector equipment that routes and converts the system's information to the place where it is processed. These are the equivalent of the system's sense organs. It also analyzes the roots of complexity from the perspective of combinatorics: in real systems, everything comes down to cases and/or configurations being validated in greater or lesser numbers, but which must be kept under control. This book presents two case studies, giving a global vision of complexity. Finally, it presents a prospective approach that brings the engineering of artificial systems closer to that of biological systems, based on first-hand information provided by Philippe Kourilsky, Emeritus Professor at the Collège de France.
Model-based Systems Architecting
Model-based Systems Architecting is a key tool for designing complex industrial systems. It is dedicated to the working systems architects, engineers and modelers, in order to help them master the complex integrated systems that they are dealing with in their day-to-day professional lives. It presents the CESAMES Systems Architecting Method (CESAM), a systems architecting and modeling framework which has been developed since 2003 in close interaction with many leading industrial companies, providing rigorous and unambiguous semantics for all classical systems architecture concepts. This approach is practically robust and easy-to-use: during the last decade, it was deployed in more than 2,000 real system development projects within the industry, and distributed to around 10,000 engineers around the globe.
Building Information Modeling for a Smart and Sustainable Urban Space
Urban spaces are being called upon to develop a capacity for resilience and sustainability in order to meet the major challenges they face. To achieve such a goal, a practical development framework must be implemented in order to take advantage of the technological innovations that characterize the field of construction and urban engineering. Today, multi-scale BIM is bringing about significant changes that are redefining the paradigms of urban management. It facilitates simulations of the sustainability of urban spaces with respect to several criteria; most notably relating to energy, the economy and the environment. Building Information Modeling for a Smart and Sustainable Urban Space proposes a theoretical and practical framework for implementing BIM models for the creation of sustainable and intelligent urban spaces. It addresses the issues of acquisition, modeling, interoperability, and BIM and GIS integration for the production of BIM models. Case studies are presented, providing a practical dimension that demonstrates the production process of the urban model and its contribution to multiscale simulations, particularly in real estate evaluation and urban renewal.
Hybrid Excited Synchronous Machines
Our transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable future has seen an increase in the use of electrical energy in the functioning of our society. This implies the need to develop tools and methods which allow us to study electromagnetic devices and ensure their functioning for as long as possible. This requires us to use these tools to understand their behavior, not just as one component, but also in the entire systems in which they can be found, throughout their life cycle. This book provides electrical engineering students and researchers with the resources to analyze how synchronous machines behave over their entire field of operation, particularly focusing on hybrid excited synchronous machines (HESMs). The field of HESMs, although not a fundamental problem in the strict sense of the term, provides answers to a range of fundamental problems: the flux weakening of permanent magnet machines, energy optimization, and lastly the increasing costs of rare-earths permanent magnets.
Production Availability and Reliability
The objective of the book is to provide all the elements to evaluate the performance of production availability and reliability of a system, to integrate them and to manage them in its life cycle. By the examples provided (case studies) the main target audience is that of the petroleum industries (where I spent most of my professional years). Although the greatest rigor is applied in the presentation, and justification, concepts, methods and data this book is geared towards the user.
Decision and Decision-maker in an Industrial Environment
Decision and Decision-maker in an Industrial Environment developed around the observation that two different decision-makers, faced with the same problem, may not make the same decision. The book proposes explanations for this, ranging from the wholly rational to the irrational, and analyzes different factors in decision-making, such as the intention of the decision-maker, the environment in which their decision is made or the process leading to decision-making. While the common belief is that everything in an industrial environment stems from reasoned decisions, analysis of common practice shows that this is not always the case. This book offers an original perspective by presenting the decision making mechanism from the point of view of the decision maker and their handling of a specific decision-making problem. To learn more about the decision-maker’s motivations when faced with these situations, the authors provide a review of the history of decisionmaking and the major trends in decision-making theory. The concepts and methods are presented with illustrations based on the use of an MES, an industrial management software package.
Connected Innovation and Technology X.0 1
Connected Innovation and Technology X.0 1 studies the development of industry and logistics through digital technologies, presenting novel approaches to efficiency and innovation. It highlights the core of Industry X.0, showing how the digital transformation of business models, the focus on human-centric experiences and the application of advanced technologies all drive growth across various fields. Emphasizing smart supply chain management, performance optimization and sustainable solutions, the book provides insights into using Industry X.0 technologies to enhance supply chain sustainability, network security, and innovation in the manufacturing, healthcare and energy sectors. By integrating lean methodologies, advanced planning and the latest tech solutions, it serves as an efficient resource, not only for professionals, but also for students who seek to map digital transformation complexities and seize the opportunities given to develop future-oriented business models and achieve operational excellence.
Architecture d'entreprise
Démarche innovante de conduite des transformations métier par les modèles, l'architecture d'entreprise permet de répondre à l'un des enjeux majeurs de la modélisation des organisations : faire travailler ensemble des spécialistes issus de domaines d'application différents au sein d'une même entreprise. Il s'agit ainsi de réaliser un macro-système dont les organes auront un comportement cohérent pour permettre à une organisation de jouer de manière optimale son rôle d'agent économique ou d'assurer sa responsabilité sociale. Cet enjeu surgit déjà dans des secteurs aussi variés que la médecine, l'industrie financière, les industries de services, les administrations ou les média. Cet ouvrage aide les architectes, les managers du SI, les organisateurs et les managers métier à réfléchir sur leur rôle dans la transformation de leur organisation afin de mieux appréhender l'intérêt de l'architecture d'entreprise. Il précise les concepts à partir de mises en situation concrètes issues du retour d'expérience et présente clairement certains outils souvent issus du monde académique.
