Business Sustainability Sample Clauses

Business Sustainability. ‌ To deploy and maintain the BannaTree service after implementation, it is crucial to think ahead about the sustainability of the service after this project has ended. For this, we have set up multiple scenarios as sustainability plans for the BannaTree ser- vice. In order to show the value objects between the different actors, we made use of E3-value models [1] for different scenarios (see Fig. 12,13,14). As for the current situation without BannaTree, the main path for producing banana chips starts with the end customers who want to buy the banana chips from the factory. In our use case this is China. In Figure 12 the exchange value for the banana chips between the customers and the factory is defined as money, which means that the factory earns money from the customers in exchange for delivering banana chips to them. On the other side, the factory gets bananas from the farmers and in exchange the farmers received money from the factory. In the current situation there is no infor- mation management system yet. Information about the farmers production is there, however it is in paper forms as mentioned before. To make analyses of banana pro- duction easier in order to improve the entire industry, an information management system can be useful. This is where BannaTree comes in and offers a service for information management and statistical analyses. Figure 12: E3-value model for the current situation without the BannaTree service In Figure 13, the scenario with the BannaTree service is presented. To maintain the service in the beginning it can be helpful if the government (the agricultural de- partment), is responsible for the funding of this service while the government is also the one that would like to monitor the statistics of the farmers. In this scenario mul- tiple start points for the value model can be seen. First of all the path that starts with the customers stays the same. Additionally, a second start point can be found at the government and it ends at the farmers, while the government would like the farmers to deliver a monthly report through the BannaTree application. In exchange the gov- ernment gives the farmers support in form of fertilizers, pesticides and other infor- mative support for growing bananas for the contract farming. A third start point can be found again at the government’s side, however this path goes from the govern- ment and ends at the BannaTree service, because in this scenario the government is the one who pays for the e...

Business Sustainability. ‌ A viable Business Sustainability Plan is critical to the success of the Alaska HIE initiative. The Governor and State Legislature have a clear understanding of the future benefits of the HIE and the pivotal role that health care management plays in the state. As a result, the State has invested both politically (through the enactment of Senate Bill 133, now AS 18.23.310) and financially in this initiative. AeHN has been directed by the HIT Coordinator to develop a Business Sustainability Plan. The State HIT Coordinator has specified the contents of the plan (Appendix B) and is actively working with AeHN to carry out the activities necessary to develop a viable plan. The Business Sustainability Plan is currently constrained by certain decisions made prior to the inception of the Cooperative Agreement that may need to be revisited by the stakeholders.

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
