Emphasizing the synergistic support of knowledge management and strategic partnerships, the research aims to unravel the nuanced dynamics that contribute to organizational success. Intellectual capital, which includes relational, structural, and human elements, is recognized as a critical asset in the construction industry. The study uses a comprehensive framework to assess IC components and their impact on the operational effectiveness of SMEs. Using knowledge management practices, SMEs can systematically harness and optimize their intellectual capital, fostering innovation and adaptability. Strategic partnerships emerge as a catalytic force that amplifies the impact of intellectual capital. Collaboration with external entities facilitates knowledge sharing, technology adoption, and market responsiveness. This study underscores the imperative for construction SMEs to recognize intellectual capital as a cornerstone for sustainable growth. By intertwining effective knowledge management initiatives and strategic partnerships, SMEs can unlock their full potential, overcome industry challenges, and achieve lasting success. Embarking on these diverse research paths promises a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between intellectual capital, knowledge management, and strategic partnerships in construction SMEs. The dynamic nature of the construction business environment presents an additional challenge. The sector is subject to rapid changes in regulatory frameworks, market conditions and technological advances. The interaction between the concepts in the article is crucial in differentiating companies, especially those in the construction industry, and driving them towards long-term success.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20465,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Computer Science","volume":"253 ","pages":"Pages 59-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143480311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developing a multi-objective model is critical to address the complex interaction between economic viability and environmental sustainability in AM-enabled spare parts supply chains. This study proposes a mixed integer linear programming model formulated as a bi-objective optimization problem to minimize the costs and carbon emissions of the AM-enabled spare part supply chain operations. A lexicographic approach was used to solve this bi-objective optimization problem with the Gurobi solver. If the cost objective function is given high priority, the optimal cost value is $5,900171 and the total carbon emissions obtained are 138.1 <em>tCO2e</em>. If the environmental objective is given higher priority, the optimal carbon emissions value is reduced to 128.9 <em>tCO2e</em>, however, the cost value obtained is significantly higher at $6523143.

Aiming to expand its domestic market, the business seeks to enhance its distribution network by adding a new distribution center (DC). Given the industry’s environmental impact concerns, the study also focuses on reducing the environmental footprint of its supply chain and logistics activities. Despite extensive research on distribution network optimization, there remains a gap in understanding the integrated approach that simultaneously address economic efficiency, customer responsiveness, and environmental sustainability within the petrochemical sector in Thailand. This research proposes various scenarios for the distribution network, considering candidate DC locations based on current customer distributions, particularly in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area and Laem Chabang (LCB) port, along with potential hinterland arears. The analysis evaluates key performance metrics, including responsiveness, economic efficiency, and environmental impact. The findings indicate that the optimal scenario involves operating two DCs: the existing DC and a new DC in Samut Prakarn Province, significantly improving customer responsiveness. However, the results reveal that cost reduction does not directly correlate with decreased GHG emissions. The study underscores the need for businesses to define clear objectives, such as cost reduction, improved customer service, market expansion, or environmental sustainability, before redesigning distribution networks.

To that end, we conducted a comprehensive literature review regarding Data Quality dimensions and aggregated the identified ones into an intelligible structure. Through this process, 66 quality dimensions were identified and a coherent arrangement that allows for the proper development of quality frameworks was proposed.

Generalized mean functions offer flexibility in data aggregation, while the social distance metric provides new insights into data relationships, including factors like social asymmetry. We presented novel generalized mean function on the basis of Lehmer mean and enhanced by the sigmoid-logit pair. Such a mean can be controlled by two trainable parameters and has several useful properties for various ML and AI tasks. We presented also two options for the generalized social distance metric, each utilizing the suggested generalized mean function in different ways. The first one is based on social asymmetry of the neighborhoods in data distribution. The second one measures the distance between the centroids of corresponding social context areas.

The core element is the notion of worker individuality, moving beyond traditional distinctions of workers in groups and according to dichotomous scales (e.g., experienced-inexperienced, deaf-not deaf, female-male). A crucial vision for future performance enhancements, both cognitive and physical, is that the technology support system can continuously identify and characterize individual workers’ abilities across a continuous range of relevant profile criteria. This system would automatically adapt the provided technological support, including robotics and AI, to meet the individual needs of each worker. For example, the support system may autonomously adjust a collaborative robot’s actions and strength based on the worker’s physical fitness, or tailor augmented reality guides to their intent, expertise, cognitive abilities, and concurrent attention in real time. As this conceptual paper presents a predominantly futuristic outlook, the core contribution lies in defining the intermediate research questions about realizing such a vision to help the future worker-technology symbiosis become a reality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20465,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Computer Science","volume":"253 ","pages":"Pages 661-672"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143480716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
