(University of Pretoria, 2017)*
-
(Elsevier, 2017-09)A method is presented for reducing the required sample sizes for reporting energy savings with predetermined statistical accuracy in lighting retrofit measurement and verification projects, where the population of retrofitted ...
-
(Association for Professional Managers in South Africa, 2017-03)In this paper, the process flow within a high-end 3PL distribution centre is studied in order to determine the optimal split between the parcel size categories moved within the system. The article considers the application ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 1998)Organisations are subject to change in their environments. In response to these changes, they have the option of transformation - a process of realignment in order to adapt to their circumstances. There are various ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)To improve the reliability of a system, the following two well-known methods are used: 1. Provision of redundant units, and 2. Repair maintenance In a redundant system more units are made available for performing the ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)South African supply chains have moved from basic survival mode to a focus on optimised supply chains. These focus mainly on a reduction of inventory, cost, and lead time. The further shift to end-to-end supply chain ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)The availability of water can be considered as one of the key ingredients to the human life, yet this resource remains scarcely available to those living in the rural parts of Africa. When water does present itself, it is ...
-
(Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2016-12-06)Uncertainty is ever-present and is an integral part of life. Recognising the existence of uncertainty and its possible effects on decision-making may be important for the profitability, financial success, or even survival ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-07)In this article we present benchmark datasets for the Mixed Capacitated Arc Routing Problem under Time restrictions with Intermediate Facilities (MCARPTIF). The problem is a generalisation of the Capacitated Arc Routing ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017-02)Energy meters need to be calibrated for use in Measurement and Verification (M&V) projects. However, calibration can be prohibitively expensive and a ect project feasibility negatively. This study presents a novel low-cost ...
-
(Routledge, 2016-02)Financial exclusion has been shown to have negative socioeconomic effects on citizens, especially at the bottom of the economic pyramid. South Africa suffers from high levels of financial exclusion, disproportionately ...
-
(Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2016-11)Enterprise engineering (EE) is an emerging discipline that aims to address several phenomena in the evolution of an enterprise. Previous research highlighted a particular phenomenon that requires more research - i.e., the ...
-
(Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2016-11-06)We have entered the age of the customer where customer choice is the main differentiator between enterprises. Therefore, enterprises need to shift their focus to customer experience management (CEM). A survey conducted ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)Residential waste collection is an expensive activity performed daily on large metropolitan areas throughout the year. Even a small improvement in waste collection and transfer operations can therefore lead to signi cant ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)Electricity is critical to the economic and social development of humanity. Significant effort has been spent on the effective management thereof and with the growth of the renewable energy sector, traditionally regulated ...
-
(AOSIS Open Journals, 2016-09)The inefficient and ineffective use of arable land in South Africa is one of the numerous challenges within its agricultural sector. Previous research has indicated that a method, the Farm Site Development Method (FSDM), ...
-
(Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 2016)Project managers normally are facing with di culties behind management of project cash flow, which requires distinguished methods and appropriate tools to manage negative cash flows. Cash-Flow-at-Risk (CFaR) model is ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-09)This paper develops optimal and quick near-optimal splitting procedures for the Mixed Capacitated Arc Routing Problem under Time restrictions with Intermediate Facilities. Splitting procedures are a key component of giant ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-09)The spatial system dynamics model (SSDM) of sugarcane industrial ecosystem presented in this paper is towards an integrated approach to simulate a bio refinery system suggesting directions for bagasse and trash-derived ...
-
(Springer, 2017-04)Enterprise engineering (EE) is emerging as a new discipline that is multi-disciplinary in nature. As highlighted by researchers within the EE discipline, the current status of EE endeavours as taken by several universities ...
