This paper mainly investigates the scheduling arrangements and optimization of precast production of track slabs. A Flow-Shop Multi-Objective Optimization Scheduling Model (FSMSM) has been developed and solved by a Hybrid Genetic and Ant Colony Algorithm (HGACA). Comparisons among HGACA, single Genetic Algorithm, Ant Colony Algorithm and classical heuristic rules show that the HGACA could obtain better schedules for the model. By means of co-scheduling factory production and engineering construction, scientific and efficient precast production has been promoted and management ability of the industry has been enhanced. It may help manufacturers save enterprise resource, reduce labor consumption, decrease inventory costs, enhance production flexibility and improve enterprise's Level of Service.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131807975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A capability-based approach to socio-technical transitions is subsequently proposed. The proposed approach does not aim to substitute any existing frameworks or approaches; the aim is rather to address the five identified dimensions along which the way technology management is structured could enhance transition frameworks and approaches. We argue that there are four main concepts where lessons from the way that the different elements of technology management are structured and integrated could enhance the understanding of socio-technical transitions.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132289638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these tools appear immature, with significant diversity between the tools. Consequently, which tool to use, or type of tool to develop, becomes a critical decision. This paper seeks to identify what a good DAT looks like by extracting and discussing potential benefits from assessing a range of tools/papers and direct observation. It then assesses the three identified categories of DATs - the four-box model, the questionnaire-based approach and the top-down (TD)-based approach - for potential suitability in meeting these benefits. The TD approaches scored well, even accepting the limitation of the assessment. This paper concludes that new DATs should be developed using TD approaches, replacing the questionnaire based approaches, which are difficult to modify, and hence cannot readily keep up with the pace of change.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115517358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to analyze the various frameworks pertaining to sustainability transitions, and more specifically, sustainable energy transitions (SETs); to subsequently develop a set of criteria for the South African regime by which to measure the country's progress towards sustainability (in the energy sector) throughout the transition pathway. SETs are vastly complex and require multi-disciplinary approaches to address societies' developmental and economic growth needs, while simultaneously addressing climate change challenges and resource constraints. Sustainability transition frameworks address multiple issues, such as: the link between energy production and consumption, and the economy; the move to sustainable technology adoption from socio-technical contexts; as well as a paradigm shift for policy-making and various other aspects that need to be addressed when transitioning to sustainability. From these insights, a set of criteria consisting of seven aspects for South Africa's electricity sector regime were developed, which includes: energy efficiency, CO2 emission reduction, economic competitiveness, supply security and generation, resilience, innovation and technology, and politics and public acceptance.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130026598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified e-Health (Healthcare using Internet technologies) as of prime importance for the access of healthcare to the population all over the world. Thanks to the rapid proliferation of mobile wireless technology (e.g., cellular phones and PDAs) especially in developing countries, mHealth (healthcare services based on mobile wireless technology) can play a major role in achieving the UHC.

A central question is how to govern knowledge mobility for service innovation performance in such innovation networks. Given the inconsistent findings, more comprehensive research is needed to uncover the effects of contract-based and relation-based governance modes on knowledge mobility in service innovation network. Drawing from social exchange theory and network governance literature, this study examines how firms can employ relation-based and contract-based governance modes to affect interfirm knowledge mobility and collaborative innovation performance in service innovation networks. A survey of 308 knowledge-intensive service firms reveals a mediating effect of knowledge mobility on the relationship between relation-based governance mode and service collaborative innovation performance. Second, relation-based and contract-based governance modes have a negative joint effect on knowledge mobilizing in service innovation network. The findings bear important theoretical and managerial implications for innovation network governance in knowledge intensive services.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123182549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The trend to significant, sustained corporate research collaboration with major academic centers has called for rethinking the balance between academic and corporate roles in these relationships. The Georgia Institute of Technology has developed a system-focused strategy for transformational research focused on grand challenges in areas of importance both to faculty and to industry collaborators. A model of an innovation ecosystem is used to guide both research and university-industry collaboration. The paper describes the strategy, the model, and the results to date including the benefits both to university research and industry collaboration.

In recent years many University Science Parks sponsored by local governments have emerged in China, whose mission is to raise regional level of innovation and economic growth through promoting university-industry connections. We conduct an in-depth case study of one such typical park, the Suzhou Dushu Lake Science and Education Innovation District (SEID). Through our field research, we find that the local government has played a critical role in driving university-industry connections and the innovation and entrepreneurship level in SEID, yet many issues remain. We group these issues into three areas: priority setting in university development, university-industry collaborations, innovation and entrepreneurship intermediaries. In conclusion, we find that SEID needs to further transform itself from a largely government-driven to a self-sustaining innovation ecosystem and local government needs to find the right balance for its involvement. The case study offers a glimpse into a typical phenomenon of policy-led University Science Parks in China and provides future lessons and policy recommendations.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121721398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In such a setting, we have adopted a holistic approach through examining an armada of existing frameworks and methodologies. Several decades of combined intercontinental experience of the authors (and much more from their academic/practice network) in the field of change management is culminating in development of a novel overarching framework referred to as Total Change Management (TCM). In the three years course of establishment of TCM, a variety of methodological research and practice challenges were encountered which we report here. While the necessity of such a holistic viewpoint towards change management, which borrows from existing proven frameworks and standards, can be well argued, obtaining the statistical expert opinion (or statistical practice results) needed to substantiate the hundreds of decisions taken in the integrative approach to form a holistic novel framework (such as TCM) requires much resources including time. This process can be expedited through a meta-framework we discuss here, which includes community building and a design, then test (practice) and then evolve pathway by such community, which is reminiscent of the Design Science, which looks expensive and yet (we argue) important for the advancement of the field.","PeriodicalId":193013,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Technology & Engineering Management Conference (TEMSCON)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122134984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
