Purpose: Improvement measures are taken unceasingly in organizations in order to optimize the obtained results in each sphere of a company’s functioning. This article presents the results of an improvement process conducted for a welding operation in the given production process. Design/methodology/approach: Taking advantage of the Kaizen approach, the article describes the results of this process and its visualization, which has been conducted with the help of a Spaghetti Chart tool. Findings: Initially, it has demonstrated that the analysis of real pathways of product value creation at the given worksite through application of the mapped-out changes brings about measurable effects. The applied worksite reorganization allowed for a limitation of an employee’s excessive movements at the worksite. In order to conduct a benchmark – both states “before” and “after” the introduction of improvement changes have been juxtaposed. Research limitations/implications: The presented analysis has a temporally and spatially limited dimension - this simultaneously being an impulse to extend research in the future. While conducting an analysis of an operator’s work, the problem must be dealt with in a broad perspective - we conduced type case study, so this is the limitation. Practical implications: The conducted analysis has taken place in real organizational conditions, using the example of a functioning worksite. Working with the “continuous improvement” approach, the instruments for development have been initiated in all spheres and levels of the given organization. Line employees have been motivated by the management to carry out single modernizations at the given worksite, which has influenced their own development. This in turn has stimulated their conscious need for active participation in the process of change. Originality/value: The conducted analysis has taken place in real organizational conditions, using the example of a functioning worksite.

New System

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic at the end of 2019 caused various problems for the international community, especially China as the outbreak’s epicenter. With the enactment of a lockdown policy in China, various activities involving human interactions, especially economic activities, are limited and can potentially disrupt the global value chain as China is the world’s factory. In this paper, we examine the impact of the pandemic on the Global Value Chain (GVC) in China. The authors argue that the pandemic has forced the companies that integrated with GVC to rethink their strategy on keeping the production process running well. This paper analyzes the impact of pandemics on the GVC in China by comparing the historical trajectories, actor’s strategies, and regulations before and after the pandemic. We compare these indicators before and after the pandemic to determine how they affect the GVC system and how companies adapt to the disruption by rethinking and readjusting their strategies. Thus, the analysis can conclude whether the fragmented GVC system is still relevant or needs an entirely new system with more resistance to phenomena like the COVID-19 pandemic.Keywords: The COVID-19 pandemic, Lockdown, Fragmented Global Value Chain, Companies Operated in ChinaMerebaknya pandemi COVID-19 di penghujung tahun 2019 menimbulkan berbagai permasalahan bagi dunia internasional khususnya Tiongkok sebagai episentrum penyebaran virus. Dengan diberlakukannya kebijakan lockdown di Tiongkok, berbagai aktivitas yang melibatkan interaksi manusia, khususnya aktivitas ekonomi, menjadi terbatas dan berpotensi mengganggu rantai nilai global karena Tiongkok adalah pabrik dunia. Dalam tulisan ini kami membahas dampak pandemi pada Global Value Chain (GVC) di Tiongkok. Penulis berpendapat bahwa pandemi telah memaksa perusahaan yang terintegrasi dengan GVC untuk memikirkan kembali strategi mereka dalam menjaga agar proses produksi tetap berjalan dengan baik. Tulisan ini menganalisis dampak pandemi terhadap GVC di Tiongkok dengan membandingkan lintasan historis, strategi aktor dan regulasi sebelum dan sesudah pandemi. Dengan membandingkan indikator-indikator tersebut di masa sebelum dan setelah pandemi, akan membantu untuk mengetahui bagaimana pandemi memengaruhi sistem GVC dan bagaimana perusahaan beradaptasi terhadap gangguan dengan memikirkan dan menyesuaikan kembali strategi mereka. Dengan demikian, analisis tersebut dapat digunakan untuk menyimpulkan apakah sistem GVC yang terfragmentasi masih relevan atau ternyata diperlukan sistem yang benar-benar baru yang lebih tahan terhadap fenomena pandemi COVID-19 tersebut.Kata-kata Kunci: Pandemi COVID-19, Lockdown, Global Value Chain Terfragmentasi, Perusahaan yang beroperasi di Tiongkok

Criticality Analysis

This study attempts to apply Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to improve the safety of production system, especially on the production process of an oil company in Indonesia. Since food processing is a worldwide issue and the self management of a food company is more important than relying on government regulations, so the purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the criticality of potential failure mode on the production process, then take corrective actions to minimize the probability of making the same failure mode and re-analyze its criticality. This corrective actions are compared with the before improvement condition by testing the significance of the difference between before and after improvement using two sample t-test. Final result that had been measured is Criticality Priority Number (CPN), which refers to severity category and probability of making the same failure mode. Recommended actions that proposed on the part of FMECA give less CPN significantly compare with before improvement, with increment by 48.33% on coconut cooking oil case study.

With the continuous implementation of a plan for reconstruction of “Beautiful Countryside” in China, the rural environment and appearance of rural houses have been significantly improved. However, those houses in cold areas of China have great trouble with indoor temperature and heating-related energy consumption. After investigating the current situation of the layout, building envelope, indoor temperature, and energy consumption of the rural houses renovated by the plan of “Beautiful Countryside” in Shandong Province, this paper puts forward the improvement measures of raising indoor temperature and reducing energy consumption. On this basis, a typical rural house was selected, and DesignBuilder was utilized to simulate the effects before and after the application of different renovation measures for this house. The results show that the main way to raise indoor temperature and reduce energy consumption is to improve the thermal insulation performance of the building envelope, including renovation of the roof, exterior walls, doors and windows, and attached sunspace. In addition, combined with the achievements of “Beautiful Countryside” reconstruction, this paper shall propose specific renovation practices which are suitable for different rural houses. Based on the level of economic development in rural areas, it also puts forward some feasible renovation paths for different rural areas, and further provides references for other areas to carry out relevant work in the future.

The Indian mutual fund market is still under penetrated, as even in today’s scenario, most of India’s population prefers to channelise their savings into fixed deposits, real estate, and gold rather than in the capital market. The given case study discusses the practices to be followed by an asset management company (AMC) to spread out its market share. The case is based on the largest AMC in India, according to market capitalization, which is HDFC Asset Management Company Limited. HDFC as an AMC is shouldering its responsibilities quite well and can offer some operational tactics to be followed by other mutual fund market participants. The foundation for its success lies in the basic functionalities of the organisation and its belief in serving investors’ interest and practicing ethical values. We have not come across any earlier studies based on HDFC AMC in consideration of market mechanisms, corporate social activities by the firm, and practical implications for the Indian Mutual Funds Market. Through this case study, we offer some practical implications that could be helpful for other players in the Indian Mutual Fund market.

Efficiency And Productivity

The Financial Master Plan (2001- 2010) aims to enhance the capacity of banking industry so that higher effic iency and productivity can be reaped in the future. This study seeks to determine the impact of merger on the efficiency and productivity ofcommercial banks in Malaysia for the period 1995 until 2005. The study uses a non-parametric approach, nam ely DEA (data envelopment analysis?) to estimate the efficiency scores and to construct the Malmquist productivity index. To enable this estimation, three bank inputs and outputs are used. Amongst the findings are those banks exhibit higher efficiency score after the merger and thefo reign banks are more efficient than the local banks. Productivity of the banks is calculated in both periods, before and after the merger: The results show that, it is the local banks that have improved the most after the merger. The main source of productivity is technical change or innovation. The findings support the existing policy of having larger domestic banks in term of size.
