This study proposes a use of a multi-agent intelligent simulator (MAIS) to numerically examine several reasons regarding why the crisis has occurred during May 2000-Janurary 2001. The MAIS explains the price fluctuation of wholesale electricity during the crisis with estimation accuracy (91.15%). We also find that 40.46% of the price increase was due to an increase in marginal production cost, 17.85% to traderspsila greediness, 5.27% to a real demand change and 3.56% to market power. The remaining 32.86% came from the other unknown components. This result indicates that the price hike has occurred due to an increase in fuel prices and real demand. The two market fundamentals explained 45.73% (= 40.46% + 5.27%) of the price increase. The responsibility of energy firms was 21.41% (= 17.85% + 3.56%). The numerical evidences are different from the very well-known research of Joskow and Kahn (2002), which has attributed the exercise of market power by large energy firms.","PeriodicalId":408691,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127199785","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}

We propose a research agenda to develop a prescriptive system transition body-of-knowledge, which eventually will provide handles for policy makers to push and pull transitions. This agenda is developed by focusing on energy systems. We conjecture it is always socio-technical systems that are the subject of transition. We define a system transition as a structural change in both technical and social subsystems. We conclude that shared definitions must be developed of indicators of sustainability performance of systems in transition. Secondly, an understanding and recognition of the socio-technical design space is required. The design space for energy systems includes technological structure and content, policy, regulation and market design and social innovation. The combination and interrelation of these must be recognized and its use suitably underpinned, for example by exploratory simulation models and games that would allow ex-ante testing of transition policies and management.","PeriodicalId":408691,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123257095","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 Thailand, the rapid grow of KM application results in widely practice of KM in all sizes and types of organizations. However, some of them perceive KM as fad or fashion of management; some only adopt the application and give the label for KM without the understanding of its concept. In contrast, some organizations practice KM tools and those work well even without the KM label. The objectives of this paper could be classified as three issues. The first objective was to critically review the KM basis. The second objective was to discuss the opportunities to apply KM in Thai organization. The culture analysis was an attempt to determine Thai culture whether to support KM practice. This part also discussed the current KM application in Thai organizations. Thirdly, it was to highlight the importance of considering the KM objectives of each organizations, culture and people behavior. There is no complete package of KM that can suit for all type and size of organizations and technology is not the absolute solution for KM. The attempt of this paper was to enable the organization selecting the appropriate approaches for KM. In other words, KM needs to be customized to suit each organizational context. The paper proposed the application of house of quality (HoQ) as the support tool to design KM approaches.","PeriodicalId":408691,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130322491","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 models convey different approaches both in the modelling of time (discrete and continuous approaches) as well as in the assignment of jobs to machines. In the discrete time formulation, time is modelled explicitly through a time index with no binary variables being required for machine assignment. In the continuous time formulation, modelling of time is implicit and jobs are assigned to machines through binary variables. The formulations are compared by scheduling a job shop system considered close to the reality of the mould making industry. Both models were tested for sets that range from 10 to 40 jobs to be scheduled and for operational scenarios of (1) a single machine per operation and (2) two or more machines in parallel per operation. As a main conclusion it can be stated that in the first scenario the continuous time formulation performs better than its discrete counterpart while in the second scenario the discrete time formulation outperforms the continuous one.","PeriodicalId":408691,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133725096","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}
