Abstract Industrial sector for production of manufacturing machinery and equipment is a very competitive and difficult market to deal with. Difficulties increase in areas that involves the design, manufacturing and assembly of large production machines. In fact, in this case the effort to produce a single item is much bigger in time, money and resources with respect to other areas. Long time for production paired with a not accurate usage of internal resources can produce a large number of unused components and semi-finished products. This paper presents a real case study of a company leader in the designing and manufacturing machinery for disposable hygienic products and highly automated liquid filling integrated systems. Each product is a huge assembly of components and semi-finished products and many of them are not used for production even if they are stored in company’s warehouses. This is due to the logistic and human factors that can be managed and corrected. In this paper a math-heuristic approach for warehouse resources and components procurement optimization is presented. A real instance related to a commission has been solved and results are presented and analyzed.

Agricultural cannot development without the support of the economic sector, especially industry, in this case the development of the agricultural product processing industry (agro-industry) is one of the priorities in national development in industrial sector. Tofu processing business income is very dependent on the selling price of the product and the costs incurred to produce tofu, the higher the product selling price and the lower the cost, the higher the business income. This study aims to determine the level of profit obtained by each industry that has been operating for a long time. The research was conducted in July - September 2018, on the tofu industry in Wamena City. The method used is a case study method with the type of data collected including primary data and secondary data. The data analysis method uses Cost Analysis, Revenue Analysis, and Income Analysis. The results showed that the tofu "Tahu Tempe Jaya" industry was not profitable, compared to the tofu "Tahu Ayu Rezeki" industry which was profitable.

Introduction: The massive development of the industrial sector leads to an increase in the risk of fire incidents. A company is obligated to prevent, reduce, and extinguish fire incidents by providing training and facilitating supporting tools to avoid fire incidents in the workplace. PT. ARPS is a Surabaya-based manufacturing company that produces plastic packaging and has a potential danger of medium to high levels. By applying the case study design, as an observational study, this study aims to identify the factors that influence and trigger the fire incidents at PT. ARPS during 2017-2018. Methods: The population of this study is the workers of the Assembly Decoration 1 (AD1) and the Blow Molding (DM) production areas. The collected data are analyzed and presented descriptively through tables and narration. Results: The data show that the first fire incident occurred on 10 February 2017 to the KK6 machine in the AD1 area, followed by the second incident that occurred on 18 March 2018 to the VK4 machine in the BM area, and the third incident (30 March 2018) to the KKS6 machine in the AD1 area. Conclusion: It can be stated that the three fire incidents at PT. ARPS that occurred from 2017 until March 2018 are caused by unsafe actions that are the negligence of the human resources, and unsafe conditions, which comprise the unstable machines. Other factors, such as supervision, maintenance, work instruction, and managerial, are identified as the upholding factors to the fire incidents at PR. ARPS. Keywords: factor identification, fire incident, unsafe action, unsafe condition

This chapter continues to analyze the relationship between decision and action using a case study on Swedish Rail (Statens Järnvägar, SJ). In February 1987, the board of directors of SJ met to consider a plan drawn up by an international consultancy company to implement a radical reform, the ‘New SJ’. The basic idea was to make the company more businesslike. SJ was to be run as a company and not as a government service, and its corporate aim was to be a profitable business. The chapter addresses the question of why reforms may be difficult to implement. It suggests that there are certain fundamental and common characteristics of administrative reforms which make them difficult to implement by nature.

Extreme sea waves, although rare, can be notably dangerous when associated with energetic sea states and can generate risks for the navigation. In the last few years, they have been the object of extensive research from the scientific community that helped with understanding the main physical aspects; however, the estimate of extreme waves probability in operational forecasts is still debated. In this study, we analyzed a number of sea-states that occurred in a precise area of the Mediterranean sea, near the location of a reported accident, with the objective of relating the probability of extreme events with different sea state conditions. For this purpose, we performed phase-resolving simulations of wave spectra obtained from a WaveWatch III hindcast, using a Higher Order Spectral Method. We produced statistics of the sea-surface elevation field, calculating crest distributions and the probability of extreme events from the analysis of a long time-series of the surface elevation. We found a good matching between the distributions of the numerically simulated field and theory, namely Tayfun second- and third- order ones, in contrast with a significant underestimate given by the Rayleigh distribution. We then related spectral quantities like angular spreading and wave steepness to the probability of occurrence of extreme events finding an enhanced probability for high mean steepness seas and narrow spectra, in accordance with literature results, finding also that the case study of the reported accident was not amongst the most dangerous. Finally, we related the skewness and kurtosis of the surface elevation to the wave steepness to explain the discrepancy between theoretical and numerical distributions.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, to explore to what extent being located in a territory is value-relevant for a company. Second, to understand if a company is aware of, and how it can sustain, the territorial tangible and intangible assets present in the economic area in which it is located. Design/methodology/approach – The study presents an empirical multiple case-study, investigating ten mid-/large-sized Italian companies in manufacturing sectors. Findings – The results indicate that the sampled manufacturing companies are intertwined with the environment in which they are embedded, both in their home country and in host ones. The domestic territorial capital has provided, and still provides, enterprises with workers endowed with the necessary technical skills that they can have great difficulty in finding in other places. In turn, companies support territorial capital generation through their activities. Research limitations/implications – To increase the generalisability of the results, future research should expand the sample and examine firms based in different countries and sectors. Practical implications – Implications for policy makers: developing effective initiatives to support and guide a sustainable territorial capital growth. Implications for managers and investors: improving managerial and investors’ decisions by disclosing a complete picture of the enterprise, also outside the firm boundaries. Originality/value – The study contributes to intangibles/intellectual capital literature by shedding light on the importance of including territorial capital in a company’s report to improve the definition of the firm’s value. Accounting of the territorial capital would increase the awareness of the socio-economic environment value in which companies are located and its use.
