Effective Planning

Situations have frequently been encountered where It Is necessary to reestablish control of a shipbuilding contract when it has been lost. This has to be done quickly, and requires a combination of an effective planning and control system with a computer for data processing. Expediency dictates the use of readily available PCs and proprietary software. The approach adopted was found to be robust and effective, and has been used as a basis for development of more formal planning and control systems. These are now in use as the means of planning and implementing ship production.

Effective Planning

We have, so far, looked at the operation of stores and stockyards, transport operation, and the various samples of legislation with which the stores manager must comply. We need now to consider the methods of achieving effective planning and control of the distribution of goods, to customers, stores and warehouses. Without effective distribution, the supply chain is doomed

This paper presents an advanced concept in drilling optimization—the dynamic drilling strategy. The dynamic drilling strategy is a new methodology of drilling process planning and control; it combines theory of single-bit control with an optimal multi-bit drilling program for a well. In the simulation study, the dynamic drilling strategy was compared to conventional drilling optimization and typical field practices; the considerable cost-saving potential of 25 and 60 percent, respectively, was estimated. The method also appeared to be the most cost-effective for expensive and long-lasting PDC bits through better utilization of their performance and reduction in the number of bits needed for the hole.

PLANNING TO MEET THE GROWING DEMANDS ON NORTHLANDS WATER RESOURCES

Pastoral Farming

The growth in horticultural and some industrial development in selected areas of Northland has led to a need for more specific and careful planning and control of limited resources in a number of major catchments. The potential irrigation demands for horhculture comprise over 60% of Northland's potential water requirements. By contrast, farm water supply needs are only 11% of these needs. Because of their importance to the Northland economy, and in the legislation these needs are given a high priority in water resource management planning. Land uses, including pastoral farming, require careful operation to reduce diffuse sources of pollution.

The principal objective of this research is to create a system that is quickly deployable, scalable, adaptable, and intelligent and provides cost-effective surveillance, both locally and globally. The intelligent surveillance system should be capable of rapid implementation to track (monitor) sensitive materials, i.e., radioactive or weapons stockpiles and person(s) within rooms, buildings, and/or areas in order to predict potential incidents proactively (versus reactively) through intelligence, locally and globally. The system will incorporate a combination of electronic systems that include commercial and modifiable off-the-shelf microcomputers to create a microcomputer cluster which acts as a mini supercomputer which leverages real-time data feed if a potential threat is present. Through programming, software, and intelligence (artificial intelligence, machine learning, and neural networks), the system should be capable of monitoring, tracking, and warning (communicating) the system observer operations (command and control) within a few minutes when sensitive materials are at potential risk for loss. The potential customer is government agencies looking to control sensitive materials and/or items in developing world markets intelligently, economically, and quickly.
