Studio e ottimizzazione di un layout. Il caso Luxottica.

Studio e ottimizzazione del layout dello stabilimento Luxottica di Sedico. La prima fase è stata quella di raccolta ed elaborazione dati per arrivare alla divisione in famiglie dei prodotti. Successivamente è stata svolta l'analisi dell'AS-IS (valutazione delle aree, from-to delle distanze, dei viaggi e dei costi). Sono state individuate quindi le criticità e sviluppato il nuovo layout. Sono stati analizzati i costi di movimentazione del TO-BE e sono stati confrontati con l' AS-IS.

Analisi e riprogettazione dei processi aziendali in un’azienda di Global Service. Il caso A.C.R. S.p.A.

La tesi tratta dell'analisi e della riprogettazione dei processi in un'azienda di global service. Vengono pertanto illustrati le principali metodologie e teorie riguardanti il process management e gli strumenti di supporto più utilizzati per la modellazione dei processi. Viene inoltre presentato il caso riguardante l'azienda ACR SpA, in cui si è eseguita la riprogettazione dei processi critici al fine di migliorare sensibilmente i principali parametri di performance del sistema. Tale riprogettazione è stata finalizzata all'introduzione di un sistema di document management all'interno delle principali funzioni aziendali, grazie a cui si è potuto razionalizzare e automatizzare i processi ritenuti critici ottenendo una sensibile riduzione dei relativi lead time e costi di processo, quantificata attraverso KPI definiti ad hoc. In conclusione la tesi ha permesso di illustrare con un caso pratico l'applicazione degli strumenti di business process reengineering, evidenziandone i pregi e ribadendo l'importanza della continua ricerca di efficienza all'interno dei processi di business aziendali.

Automated layout of small lattices using layer diagrams

Good quality concept lattice drawings are required to effectively communicate logical structure in Formal Concept Analysis. Data analysis frameworks such as the Toscana System use manually arranged concept lattices to avoid the problem of automatically producing high quality lattices. This limits Toscana systems to a finite number of concept lattices that have been prepared a priori. To extend the use of formal concept analysis, automated techniques are required that can produce high quality concept lattice drawings on demand. This paper proposes and evaluates an adaption of layer diagrams to improve automated lattice drawing. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.

Improving storage performance through layout optimizations

Disk drives are the bottleneck in the processing of large amounts of data used in almost all common applications. File systems attempt to reduce this by storing data sequentially on the disk drives, thereby reducing the access latencies. Although this strategy is useful when data is retrieved sequentially, the access patterns in real world workloads is not necessarily sequential and this mismatch results in storage I/O performance degradation. This thesis demonstrates that one way to improve the storage performance is to reorganize data on disk drives in the same way in which it is mostly accessed. We identify two classes of accesses: static, where access patterns do not change over the lifetime of the data and dynamic, where access patterns frequently change over short durations of time, and propose, implement and evaluate layout strategies for each of these. Our strategies are implemented in a way that they can be seamlessly integrated or removed from the system as desired. We evaluate our layout strategies for static policies using tree-structured XML data where accesses to the storage device are mostly of two kinds—parent-to-child or child-to-sibling. Our results show that for a specific class of deep-focused queries, the existing file system layout policy performs better by 5–54X. For the non-deep-focused queries, our native layout mechanism shows an improvement of 3–127X. To improve performance of the dynamic access patterns, we implement a self-optimizing storage system that performs rearranges popular block accesses on a dedicated partition based on the observed workload characteristics. Our evaluation shows an improvement of over 80% in the disk busy times over a range of workloads. These results show that applying the knowledge of data access patterns for allocation decisions can substantially improve the I/O performance.
