This article discusses the importance and need of bearing simulation models for designing efficient and high-performing bearing systems. Bearings play a key role in ensuring critical rotating parts spin freely under all operating conditions. Yet bearings remain among the more difficult components to model accurately. Bearings are a key component in industrial gears, but they are rarely modeled with any fidelity. Most simulations rely on simplified bearing models or simply assume rotating parts will spin perfectly. Accurate and validated bearing models must represent many rotating and interacting components. They must also consider complex boundary conditions, since bearing performance is highly dependent on the application and its operating environment. Many different system design and operating parameters influence the performance of bearings. Some can be controlled during operation. Others cannot, but may still have a significant impact on system performance. Design for Six Sigma enables engineers to gain insight into these parameters by designing experiments for virtual testing.

Judgment Strategy

Judging other people is a common and important task. Every day professionals make decisions that affect the lives of other people when they diagnose medical conditions, grant parole, or hire new employees. To prevent discrimination, professional standards require that decision makers render accurate and unbiased judgments solely based on relevant information. Facial similarity to previously encountered persons can be a potential source of bias. Psychological research suggests that people only rely on similarity-based judgment strategies if the provided information does not allow them to make accurate rule-based judgments. Our study shows, however, that facial similarity to previously encountered persons influences judgment even in situations in which relevant information is available for making accurate rule-based judgments and where similarity is irrelevant for the task and relying on similarity is detrimental. In two experiments in an employment context we show that applicants who looked similar to high-performing former employees were judged as more suitable than applicants who looked similar to low-performing former employees. This similarity effect was found despite the fact that the participants used the relevant résumé information about the applicants by following a rule-based judgment strategy. These findings suggest that similarity-based and rule-based processes simultaneously underlie human judgment.

Supply Chain Operation

Manajemen supply chain yang tidak maksimal akan mempengaruhi kinerja suatu perusahaan. Di Aceh Tengah terdapat suatu koperasi yaitu Koperasi Baitul Qiradh (KBQ) Baburrayyan yang sudah menerapkan manajemen supply chain. Koperasi ini bergerak di bisnis perdagangan biji kopi (green bean). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur kinerja supply chain dari KBQ Baburrayyan. Metode yang digunakan adalah SCOR® dengan praktik perbaikan Convergence of SCOR® with Lean and Six Sigma. Target kinerja yang diperoleh untuk total cost to serve adalah sebesar 94,71% dari nilai target 65,00% dan untuk return on supply chain fixed asset adalah sebesar 1,60 dari nilai target 2,50. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penggunaan praktik tersebut adalah terdapat 8 akar penyebab waste di antaranya kurangnya tenaga pengawas, training/briefing belum maksimal, kurangnya kepedulian tentang pentingnya K3, layout yang kurang efisien, belum adanya unit penyuluhan, alat yang masih sederhana, pekerjaan yang monoton, dan tidak dilarang secara tegas.   Supply chain management that is not optimal will affect the performance of a company. In Central Aceh there is a cooperative namely Koperasi Baitul Qiradh (KBQ) Baburrayyan which has implemented supply chain management. This cooperative is engaged in the business of trading in green beans. This study aims to measure the supply chain performance of KBQ Baburrayyan. The method used is SCOR® with the practice of improving Convergence of SCOR® with Lean and Six Sigma. The performance target for total cost to serve is 94.71% of the target value of 65.00% and the return on supply chain fixed assets is 1.60 of the target value of 2.50. The results obtained from the use of the practice are that there are 8 root causes of waste including lack of supervisors, training / briefing is not maximal, lack of concern about the importance of K3, inefficient layouts, absence of extension units, simple tools, monotonous work, and not strictly prohibited.

Six Sigma

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie metodyk (DMAIC/DMADV) odnoszących się do doskonalenia procesów i produktów, określanych jako Six Sigma. Istotną rolę we wdrażaniu projektów usprawnień poprzez wykorzystanie tych metodyk odgrywają kwalifikacje pracowników. Organizacje wykorzystujące Six Sigma jako narzędzie doskonalenia operacyjnego starają się aktywnie włączać w realizację tych projektu wszystkich pracowników. Powinni oni przejść cykl intensywnych szkoleń, podczas których nabywają umiejętności niezbędnej do posługiwania się narzędziami i technikami mogącymi mieć zastosowanie w implementowanych usprawnieniach.
