This paper aims at developing procurement Key Performance Indicators (KPI) system for Maintenance, Repair and Operation (MRO) items using a Business Intelligence tool. A set of typical KPI has been established in an aircraft maintenance enterprise through a case study. The result analyzed by business intelligence tools, has become a critical factor in evaluating the success of financial performance, quality assurance, order fill rate, utilization of productivity and development of knowledge hubs in the procurement sector. An effective and efficient procurement strategy evaluation system is proposed in order to resolve corporate problems, with solid supporting data, improved procurement performance management, facilitation of decision making and procurement evaluation by saving resources and time. The significance of this paper is that we delivers a proactive approach by integrating KPI and BI tool for an aviation maintenance enterprise to access comprehensive external data directly, and to visualize the company performance for formulating strategies and analyzing industrial informatics.
In order to find out the main factors influenced the hatchability and improve the hatchability of the windowed chicken eggs at stage X, several experiments were made on the basis of the former patent of eggshell windowing methods on equatorial plane, such as cutting and sealing techniques, air cell recovering, laying position immediately after sealing, as well as the injection volumes into the subgerminal cavity of the blastoderm. The result showed that:1) the best sealing material combination was straw powder (SP) and instant glue (IG); 2) there was a highly positive correlation between air cell rate and hatchability; 3) the highest hatchability increased to 71.6% when the eggs were windowed and sealed with IG dropped firstly and then SP sprinkled, finally lay down with the blunt end upward immediately after being sealed; 4) the hatchability was significantly reduced as injection volume (DMEM) was increased (p<0.05 or p<0.01) from 1 μL to 10 1 μL, and the group of injecting 1 μL was the highest (48.4 %). The hatchability and efficiency with such method of windowing, injecting, and sealing was the highest at the present time (more than 30 eggs per hour per person), and it might be broadly used in the fields of avian transgenesis, genetic resources preservation, and embryonic development model of human medicine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
