China ranks among advanced shipbuilding countries relying on its own investment and enterprise development. China has opened its shipbuilding industry to the outside world for wider cooperation and more foreign involvement."展开更多

The corporate intranet is connected with Internet, which constitutes the hardware of the system. The s ystem adopts modern voice-identification technology for user authentication to enable secure access to key databases and thus enhance the security of system da tabases. The software system consists of four modules: 1. Corporate website and advertisement information system, intending for updatin g online advertisement, collecting and analyzing market research information. 2. Employee technology training and assessment system, including a variety of co urses containing technology, technique and management and so on. Login the training system, employees are able to study courses of technology or technique or others. The training system adopts modern multimedia E-Learning te chnology and in fact it is an innovative education method, which includes self- study, tutorship and lecture. It is able to help employees enjoy their learning. Employees can take simulative exams, and managers can test employees onlin e periodically. 3. Corporate decision-making management system, calculating and analyzing the o peration, predicting future development, facilitating communication between mana gers and employees. It provides valuable foundation for decisions, which enables managers to make strategic decisions and scientific management. 4. E-commerce online transaction system, which facilitates material purchase an d product sale. By using intelligent e-commerce system, corporations will enhance the employee’ s skills and management level, reduce production cost, promote product sale , and thus strengthen corporation’s market competitiveness effectively.展开更多

Road systems have two major objectives: to enable the movement of passenger vehicles and the movement of freight vehicles at reasonable speeds. An important part of the transportation system and an expensive investment, a functional road network must meet both objectives to main- tain an efficient economy. In Australia, the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development reported that, in 2011/12, the total road length was approximately 900,000 kin, and the total road expenditure was approximately $19 billion. Good policy requires that infrastructure investments provide a return on investment, thus warranting judicious management to ensure that it is maintained in a cost effective manner. Recent studies in Queensland, Australia, have identified differences between financial and engi- neering professionals in their understanding of infrastructure depreciation, condition deterioration, and future funding needs. Furthermore, the Queensland Asset Sustainability Ratio (ASR) requires clearer definitions to ensure that infrastructure remains meaningful to all users. This study proposes a separate sustainability index for road pavements (SIR) unlike the ASR that combines all type of assets. The justification is our ability to assess road condition, the high value of road assets, relative value to other infrastructure, and advanced knowledge of deterioration relative to other infrastructure. The SIR involves community consultation to target an average pavement condition index (PCI). This study also provides an alternative method to determine the optimal target PCI for a local展开更多
