Productivity is a key success factor in any organization. In order to improve productivity, it is necessary to understand how various factors affect it. The previous research has mainly focused on productivity analysis at macro level (e.g. nations) or in private companies. Instead, there is a lack of knowledge about productivity drivers in public service organizations. This study aims to scrutinize the role of various operational (micro level) factors in improving public service productivity. In particular, this study focuses on child day care services. First, the drivers of productivity are identified in light of the existing literature and of the results of workshop discussions. Second, the drivers most conducive to high productivity and the specific driver combinations associated with high productivity are defined by applying methods of data mining. The empirical data includes information on 239 day care centers of the City of Helsinki, Finland. According to the data mining results, the factors most conducive to high productivity are the following: proper use of employee resources, efficient utilization of premises, high employee competence, large size of day care centers, and customers with little need for additional support.

Abstract Interactive Computational Code is presented that provides a high-productivity analysis of the complex detonation spraying technology. It is based on exact gas dynamics theory taking into account chemical reactions for description of the gaseous detonation phenomena. It deals with specific features of the process like non-homogeneity of gaseous mixture compositions due to gas filling operation and powder injection into the barrel. Acceleration and heating of powder particles by the detonation product flow were simulated including particle melting, fragmentation and vaporization. Calculations for different fuels and powder materials were accomplished. Optimum conditions (gas mixture, barrel length, powder injection point, etc.) to provide highest velocity and appropriate temperature for typical metal and cermet powders are discussed. The conditions for coating formation by the detonation gun «Ob» were established and samples were produced. Experimental data on detonation coating properties are presented to prove the theoretical results.

The article presents the results of studying the influence of the genealogical affiliation of animals and the origin of bulls, as well as the age of dairy cattle, on the quantitative and qualitative indicators of lactation performance. It is given the physiological justification for obtaining high productivity of dairy cattle. The results have shown that the use of bulls of different genotypes for insemination results in different productivity. So, according to the 305-day first and third lactation yields inseminated by the evaluated bulls, the bull-producer Baron 87485 of the Reflection Sovering line stands out. In terms of 305-day second lactation yield, the bull Adam 167 has the highest productivity. Analysis of the hematological picture makes it possible to establish that the blood parameters of the experimental animals, although they are within the physiologically acceptable norms, but the influence of bulls is noticeable on the content of erythrocytes, hemoglobin and total protein. This indicates and justifies more intensive processes with an increase in the lactation performance of dairy cattle.

Eucalyptus plantations have been used as a source of short fiber for papermaking for more than 40 years. The development in genetic improvement and clonal programs has produced improved density plantations that have resulted in fast growing, increased fiber volume eucalypts becoming the most widely used source of short fibers in the world. High productivity and short rotation times, along with the uniformity and improved wood quality of clonal plantations have attracted private industry investment in eucalypt plantations. Currently, only a handful of species or hybrids are used in plantation efforts. Many more species are being evaluated to either enhance fiber properties or expand the range of eucalypt plantations. Eucalyptus plantations are frequently planted on nonforested land and may be used, in part, as a means of conserving native forests while allowing the production of high quality fiber for economic uses. Finally, eucalypt plantations can provide significant carbon sinks, which may be used to help offset the carbon released from burning fossil fuels. The development and expansion of eucalypt plantations represents a substantial revolution in pulp and paper manufacturing.

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a method that helps an organization to maximize profit and minimize cost. One of the essential factors for a successful LSS project is the availability of employees who are willing to engage. Employee engagement brings about a strong sense of belonging and high productivity. Consequently, engaged employees will work harder to achieve the mission of the organization. This paper discusses a case of LSS project with a low level of employee engagement. As a result, LSS was less likely helpful in sustaining company’s performance. The purpose of this study is to identify factors that contribute to employee engagement in LSS practices. Review of the relevant literature suggests four variables, which include goal clarity, management support and trust, knowledge sharing and transfer, and teamwork. The questionnaire survey applied census in collecting feedback from 80 respondents. Statistical analysis results indicate that goal clarity, management support, and trust are significant to employee engagement. However, knowledge sharing and transfer as well as teamwork are not substantial. It is recommended for the organization to give attention to all the four factors. This paper extended understandings on critical inputs to a successful implementation of LSS for sustainable company’s performance and growth. Keywords: Lean Six Sigma, Employee Engagement, Goal Clarity, Management Support and Trust, Teamwork, Knowledge Sharing.
