Sustainability of knowledge and competencies management on the perceptions of improving ships’ upkeep performance

Abstract

Knowledge and competencies management (K&CM) are the main sources requiring sustainable development for any learning organisation. The purpose of this paper is to emphasise the need for K&CM on the perceptions of improving performance. The adopted instrument was modified to suit this research. It encompasses 'efficiency, proficiency, innovation and performance' to learn from the 'mindsets/opinions' and perceptions of 362 responses from employees. The data were collected from five organisations sharing identical objectives and analysed using correlation and regression. The results were statistically found to be positively related and to contribute to the intended performance. All the constructs were supported by confirmation of qualitative themes from the 20 most senior managers. The enhancement of K&CM culture will maintain 'self-effectiveness' to create and preserve the K&CM and make a constant contribution to the body of knowledge.

Sustainable Software Engineering:A Perspective of Individual Sustainability

“…Twenty-two challenges of individual sustainability have been identified from the existing literature. [2], [7], [33], [34], [35] 2 C2 Lack of methodologies and tool support [1], [13] [7], [33], [36], [37] 3 C7…”

It provides relevant context to enhance effectiveness and enables a software engineer to understand the problem quickly.…”

“…Furthermore, it is established that domain knowledge is fundamental to effective sustainable software engineering [39]. Lack of domain knowledge is reported as a threat to individual sustainability [1], [2], [7], [33], [34], [35].…”

Intelligent Optimization Algorithm for Maintenance Scheme Based on Life Cycle Cost

“…Holland first applied GA to the optimization and selection of plans, and then GA has become a typical heuristic random search algorithm [9][10][11]. He Hongming used Neural Network (NN) to study the evaluation, prediction and maintenance decision of the deterioration of existing reinforced concrete structures [12][13][14][15]. Based on the specified service level, Liu Xingwang adopted GA as the tool to optimize the pavement maintenance decision-making scheme, and introduced LCC theory and GA to the optimization of the maintenance scheme of the bridge decks [16][17][18].…”
