{"title":"Developing a human-centered reference model for streamlining failure management in supply chains: An integrative approach to communication processes and recommender systems for SME","authors":"Turgut Refik Caglar, Elena Andrushchenko, Maurice Meyer, Efe Deniz Karaaslan, Roland Jochem","doi":"10.54941/ahfe1004311","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1004311","url":null,"abstract":"The efficacy of a company's supply chain and its communication processes plays a pivotal role in determining its success. Reference models, which are essentially enterprise or information models with specific, reusable content, offer benefits such as expediting the modelling process, leveraging experiential knowledge, and boosting economic efficiency. Noteworthy among such models are the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, the damaged parts analysis process, and the 8D report, predominantly utilized to chronicle and assess communication discrepancies in supply chains. The SCOR model, applicable across diverse sectors, concentrates on five fundamental processes: Planning, Procurement, Production, Delivery, and Return. Despite its extensive functionalities, the SCOR is primarily employed for depicting processes rather than devising them. It offers limited direction in designing cooperative coordination processes and lacks a direct role in methodically addressing and resolving failures. The damaged parts analysis process, an initiative by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), offers collaborative solutions for supply chain issues. However, it doesn't deliver comprehensive guidelines or procedures for fostering cooperation and communication. On the other hand, the 8D method is a paramount problem-solving strategy in the automotive realm, focusing on streamlining complaint management and fostering effective communication with stakeholders. Alongside the 8D, methodologies like Six Sigma and the PDCA cycle can be incorporated into supply chains. Nevertheless, the adoption of these methodologies often proves resource-intensive for small and medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), leading to constrained defect data gathering and prolonged durations for defect detection and resolution. This predicament is exacerbated by many SMEs' absence of a systematic approach to failure documentation. The prevalence of manual or localised record-keeping among SMEs impedes the development of a consolidated, data-informed failure knowledge base. A potential remedy could be envisioned in a robust knowledge base at the heart of an automated recommender system. Such a system might offer timely failure detection, discern correlations, pinpoint causes, and recommend interventions. These advancements could be instrumental in curtailing failure-associated expenses and procuring a sustained competitive edge. Moreover, these innovations can pave the way for SMEs to attain a digital maturity crucial for their prospective competitiveness.The objective of this paper is the conceptualisation of a human-centered reference model tailored to simplify the management of supply chain failures. This model aspires to facilitate the transparent delineation, communication, and rectification of failures spanning the entire supply chain continuum. Implementation of the reference model, in tandem with recommendation assistants, can dramatically curtail the timespan require","PeriodicalId":470195,"journal":{"name":"AHFE international","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135313244","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}

Studying the properties of a business process allows you to evaluate various properties of a real process. The study of the business process takes place in a Low-code platform. This gives the opportunity to study the properties of processes even for people who do not know the methods and technologies of programming, in particular the design and implementation of computer simulators.In this case, the process that is related to the flow of internal electronic documents in the organization is considered. The process begins when there is a need to prepare an internal electronic document in an organization. The flow of electronic internal documents can be initiated by various persons. The new document can be information for staff, decisions, or announcements. Electronic internal documents during the flow can be modified, submitted for approval, completed, saved in the knowledge base, canceled, etc. The process ends by saving the document to the knowledge base.The number of internal electronic documents sent during the day is usually very large. Therefore, it is worth considering improving the flow of internal documents in the organization. Supporting the process of electronic internal documents flow will make it easier for employees to prepare, distribute, modify, accept and, as a result, save such documents in the knowledge base. A process of internal electronic document flow is constructed. Its equivalent in the Low-code platform is also presented. This platform has a built-in simulator. Simulation experiments allow us to analyze various dynamic properties of real processes described by business processes. Business processes and their elements can be described by many various characteristics such as random streams of internal document generation, execution times of detailed tasks, probabilities of certain events controlling the flow of documents, costs of tasks, work schedules of individual employees, parameters of shared resources, organizational structure, etc.Simulation of internal electronic documents flow in a Low-code platform allows to obtain results for various values of characteristics defined in the model. This gives the opportunity to examine the characteristics of the internal electronic document flow process itself, find bottlenecks, lack of appropriate resources, etc. Such an analysis is very important from the point of view of the human factor in relation to the employees of the organization.As a result of a series of simulation experiments, several interesting characteristics related to the internal electronic document flow can be obtained. Interesting statistics are shown related to the execution times of various types of actions, their execution costs, and waiting times for various steps of the document flow. For employees participating in the electronic internal documents flow, their time load on individual t","PeriodicalId":470195,"journal":{"name":"AHFE international","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135316605","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 this process, human experts edit commands to operate the corresponding software. Human commands are the natural language that the LLM can process. The power grid is composed of generation, transmission, distribution, and other components. Therefore, we redesign the human-computer interaction frame between practitioners and the grid via recurrent prompts to apply the LLM to generate computer programming instructions from the multi-step natural language commands. The programming instruction is executed on system components after being confirmed or revised by human experts, and the quality of generated programs will be gradually improved through human feedback. The idea of this study is originally inspired by studies on controlling individual robotic components by ChatGPT.

The growing amount of both research and practical projects explore, develop and integrate the AR applications for a variety of tasks in lPM. With the introduction of AR, the accomplishment of tasks like training of maintenance staff, the visualization of instructions during maintenance and error correction, the visualization of plant control processes, and many others become more visual, interactive and are, therefore, considerably simplified. Significant time efficiency with respect to commissioning of industrial equipment may also be achieved. Thus, the incorporation of AR technologies leads to comprehensive benefits in solving the automation tasks during the lPM.At the same time, the expansion of AR in IPM does not match the high potential it has demonstrated. The reasons for this comprise the implementation and adaptation issues (high risks and cost of the specific AR implementation), the technical problems (hardware. and software-related), special developer requirements, etc. Therefore, a model for planning the implementation of AR in IPM and for the benefit prediction in terms of AR efficiency is required. However, the majority of the projects and studies in the IPM area focus on the practical side of the AR implementation. The AR introduction benefits (usually in terms of development speedup or process time reduction) tend to be considered on a case-by-case basis. There is seemingly a lack of scientific papers that review the general planning of AR for the IPM in automation: there are no models to identify the feasibility of solving a particular task using the AR in general or the prediction of AR implementation results. The respective research gap consists primarily of a comprehensive analysis of the factors determining the necessity of implementing AR for a project or a process with the defined characteristics, their relation to the resulting benefits, and the main emphases to be considered when planning and deploying the AR technologies in the IPM area in particular and in the automation in general.To fill this research gap, we propose a model-based planning system (MBPS) for AR in the area of the industrial plant maintenance. This system should provide a deep scientific analysis of the feasibility and necessity of using AR to solve particular tasks in the automation field. Additionally, this MBPS should enable predictable planning and forecasting of the results of AR integration, like efficiency, applicability, quality and other criteria, and therefor support the decision making about AR implementation. This requires a broad study and analysis of criteria for evaluating the results of AR integration and usage in automation in general and in the IPM in particular.","PeriodicalId":470195,"journal":{"name":"AHFE international","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135317236","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}

Through the analysis and evaluation of the existing public welfare posters of subway space, we found that many poster designs have problems such as outdated design style, poor communication effect and low passenger participation. In order to solve this problem, we proposed a design method of subway public welfare posters based on visual metaphor, and applied it to the design of subway public welfare posters. This method takes visual metaphor as the main design theory, and analyzes its relationship with subway space scenes and public welfare posters. By combining public welfare information with visual elements such as images and symbols, the posters can be conveyed more vividly and easily, so as to attract passengers' attention and resonance. In the poster design process, we first analyze and understand the theme of public welfare, and find the core issues or keywords related to the target group. Then, these core issues or keywords are transformed into specific images or symbols using visual metaphors to enhance the artistic expression and transmission effect of the poster. Through the clever use of color, composition, layout and other design elements, the poster is more attractive and recognizable, attracting the attention of passengers. However, due to the limitations of conditions, we can not conduct tests in real scenarios, and more reliable tests are needed in the future. To sum up, the design method of subway public welfare posters based on visual metaphor has certain theoretical and practical value. Through the use of visual metaphor design means, the communication effect of public welfare posters and the participation of passengers can be enhanced, and the effective communication of public welfare information in the subway space can be realized. In the future, the application potential of visual metaphor theory can be further explored to provide innovative ideas and methods for visual design of more scenes.","PeriodicalId":470195,"journal":{"name":"AHFE international","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135318043","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}

Therefore, we consider that emotional expression by robots is necessary for human-robot coexistence as well. Various studies have been conducted on emotional expression by robots. In our previous study, we created a robot named \"Tilting Robot\" that tilts back and forward, and investigated the effect of the color of the clothing worn by the robot on its emotional expression. The results showed that the intensity of the emotional expression may change depending on the color of the clothing and the speed of the robot's motion. In this paper, we investigate the effect of using light-emitting EL sheets as a material for the robot's clothing. Many robots have been developed that express emotional expression by emitting light from their eyes and cheeks, but there is no research on emotional expression by emitting light from clothing. In addition, light-emitting clothing is easy to implement and does not cause discomfort when worn by a robot, so if light-emitting clothing is effective in emotional expression, it has great potential for application. In the experiment, the robot's clothing was colored red, green, blue, and white, and a light-emitting material (EL sheet) and a non-light-emitting material (felt) were prepared for each of the four colors. Also, for the light-emitting material, two conditions were set: one was to emit light continuously during the robot's motion (constant light-emitting condition), and the other was to emit light in the middle of the robot's motion (midway light-emitting condition). Therefore, there are three conditions for the clothing: the felt condition, the constant light-emitting condition, and the midway light-emitting condition. The robot made a total of five motions, including back and forward tilting motions, fast and slow motions, and no motion while in an upright posture. Subjects observed a total of 60 materials that were a combination of all conditions and motions on a monitor, and evaluated each material.The results of the experiment showed that, first of all, when the robot leaned backward quickly, subjects expressed an emotional expression of surprise, regardless of the type of clothing. In addition, when the motion was slow, the robot also expressed surprise in the mid-lighting condition. These results indicate that the intensity of instantaneous emotional expressions such as surprise depends on the speed of motion, and that the midway light may be used to express the emotion. In addition, it was found that the forward-tilting motion can express the emotional expression of sadness regardless of the type of clothing.Next, when we focused on the color of the clothing, we found that the color red evoked an emotional expression of anger, and that the two luminous conditions evoked anger more strongly than the felt condition, in which no luminescence was emitted. The blue color showed the same level of emotional expression of sadness in all clothing conditi","PeriodicalId":470195,"journal":{"name":"AHFE international","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135261192","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, neural networks also have vulnerabilities. Adversarial examples are generated by adding perturbations to images to cause incorrect predictions of image classifiers. The well-known perturbation attack is JSMA, which is relatively fast to generate perturbation and requires only simple procedures and is widely used in cybersecurity, anomaly detection and intrusion detection. However, there are problems with the way to perturb pixels. JSMA’s perturbations are easily perceivable by the human eyes because JSAM adds large perturbations to pixels. Some previous methods to generate adversarial examples did not assume that adversarial examples are checked by human eyes and allow larger perturbation to be adding to a single pixel. However, in situations where a deep learning model causes significant damage if it misrecognizes an input, a visual check by a human is necessary. In such cases, adversarial examples should not only cause misclassification in the image classifier system but also require less perturbation to avoid human perception of the perturbation. We propose methods to improve the JSMA problems. Specifically, it adjusts the amount of perturbation by calculating the variance between the value of the pixel to be perturbed and its surrounding pixels. If a large perturbation is added to the area of an image with a large pixel value variation, the perturbation will be imperceptible. In such case, perceivability does not increase significantly with a slightly larger perturbation. In contrast, if the large perturbation is added to the area of an image with small pixel value variation, the perturbation will be more perceptible. In such case, perturbations must be small. In our previous study, we assumed thresholds to classify the perturbations into two classes, large perturbation and small perturbation. If the variance was larger than the threshold, a larger perturbation was added; if the variance was smaller than the threshold, a smaller perturbation was added, which achieved a reduction in the amount of perturbation. However, there were still rooms of improvements of the perturbation to reduce the perceptibility. In this study, we focused on that there were differences in the perception of perturbations depending on the color of the pixel. The amount of perturbation should vary from pixel to pixel, not a fixed amount. Not only the variance of the surrounding pixels but also the variance of a larger area is calculated. By using these ratios, the amount of perturbation is varied from pixel to pixel. Experimental results using cifar-10 showed that the proposed method reduced the amount of perturbation to pixels with a misclassification success rate comparable to that of JSMA and our past method. We also confirmed that the reduced perturbation made the perturbation less perceptible.","PeriodicalId":470195,"journal":{"name":"AHFE international","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135262406","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}
