Title A name given to the resource Value Stream Optimization for Oil Servicing Companies in Ghana: A Case Study of Schlumberger Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yaw Owusu Description An account of the resource In contemporary times, amidst the downturn in the Oil and gas business, many Oil and gas companies have had to fold up, resorted to severe head count reduction or merged to survive. It is therefore ciritcal if not imperative to resort to waste reduction in order to survive the current state of affairs, be sustainable in the long term as part of recovery and making supeior profits by retaining market share with a competitive advantage. The proposed strategy used in this research is Value Stream Mapping. It’s a tecnique that optimizes the current flow process to identify and eliminate waste. It is a lean tool usaullay used on production floors. In our case it is adopted for a service compnay; Schlumberger Ghana. The research conducted a survey amongst the employee population to help identify waste, evalute their understanding of the Value Stream Mapping, understand how customers and Suppliers contribute to this process and calrify the overall company’s culture in respect to Value Stream Mapping. From the data received in this survey, it was realised that top amongst the issues of logistical delays were poor job planning and unrealistic lead times with 74% and 51% respondents agreeing to this assertion respectively. The data from this survey fed into the development of a leaner workflow logistical process by incorporating a planning team whose sole role is to assit with job planning and provide a better oversight and a dedicated logistics team stationed permanently at the port to assist with clearance of goods. There was an overall improvement in the Current State which had a lead time of 47 days out of which 23.5 days were value-added and 23.5 days were non-value-added times. The future State had 28 days lead time with 16 days value added and 12 days non-value-added time. This means there was a 40% improvement in the lead time comprising of a 19 day reduction, 32% reduction in the Value-added-time comprising of 7.5 day reduction and a 49% improvement in the non-value added-time conssisting of 11.5 days reduction over the current state. With the improvement of the current state and the introduction of the planning team, there is a continous effort to reduce unwanted inventory and obsolete products in the location to zero. This drive to reduce depreciation to the bearest minium coupled with the improvement in the flow stream will offset the financial loses of the company to move them back to profit making in the coming years.

Title A name given to the resource Variability in Biochemical Composition and Cell Wall Constituents among Seven Varieties in Ghanaian Yam (Dioscorea sp) Germpalsme Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EO Afoakwa, D Polycarp, AS Budu, H Mensah-Brown, E Otoo Description An account of the resource This work characterized the most cultivated and consumed yam (Dioscorea) cultivars within the Ghanaian yam germplasm based on their biochemical and cell wall constituents to assess their potential alternative food and industrial processing applications. Samples were analyzed for their biochemical composition-starch, amylose, amylopectin, total sugars, reducing sugars and non-reducing sugars along the head, middle and tail regions of each tuber using standard analytical methods. Cell wall constituents-acid detergent fibre, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose of each tuber were also determined using standard analytical methods. The results showed no significant differences at p< 0.05 in biochemical compositions along the length of the studied cultivars. D. cayenensis (Pure-yellow), D. rotundata (Pona) and D. alata (Matches) were found to have high starch contents (63.16-65.69%, 63.54-65.30% and 63.24-65.17% respectively). Amylose content was observed to vary along the length of the tubers for the varieties studied. D. alata (Matches) was observed to contain the highest amylose content of 19.66-20.64%. No identifiable trend was however, observed for the amylopectin content along the length between the varieties investigated. D. bulbifera recorded the lowest amylopectin content of 41.29%, 43.59% and 44.63% while D. esculenta had the highest with 49.84%, 50.24% and 50.13% along the tail, middle and head sections respectively. Total sugar content varied significantly (p< 0.05) along the lengths of all the varieties investigated. It was higher at the tail portions for all the varieties studied than the … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&amp;cstart=20&amp;pagesize=80&amp;citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:kRWSkSYxWN8C Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/762e09125ff0e21082ca535746afd3a2.pdf e3d6543b244ee6abaa08ba55b1521651 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Varietal diversity and processing effects on the biochemical composition, cyanogenic glucoside potential (HCNp) and appearance of cassava flours from South-Eastern African region Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource L Chiwona-Karltun, EO Afoakwa, D Nyirenda, CN Mwansa, JE Kongor, L Brimer Description An account of the resource Changes in biochemical quality and cyanogenic safety in flours from different cassava varieties grown within the South-eastern African region as influenced by processing technique were investigated. Two local (Mweulu and Tanganyika) and four improved Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD)-tolerant cassava varieties (Chila A, Chila B, Bangweulu and Kampolombo) were processed using different processing techniques (chipping, grating and soaking). Flours obtained from these products were studied for changes in their starch content, total, reducing and non-reducing sugars, colour and cyanogenic potential (HCNp) using standard analytical methods. The results showed that the different processing techniques had only minimal but significant (p<0.05) effects on the starch and sugar content of the different cassava varieties. Flour made from chips from all six cassava varieties had relatively high cyanogenic potentials with values ranging between 30.1 mg HCN/kg in Chila A to 64.3 mg HCN/kg in Bangweulu. Grating and soaking of the roots, however resulted in drastic reductions in the levels of the cyanogenic glucosides in all the varieties. The high HCNp levels in the chips from Chila A and Bangweulu were reduced to 16.2 and 13.5 mg HCN/kg by the grating and soaking treatments respectively. Similar reductions in HCNp levels were noted for all the other varieties. Likewise, grating and soaking also caused significant (p<0.05) increase in the L*-values of the cassava flours compared to the cassava chip flours. Soaked Kampolombo had the highest L*-value of 78.40 suggesting that the soaked Kampolombo cassava sample was whiter than the … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Faculty of Food Science & Technology, UPM Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&amp;cstart=100&amp;pagesize=100&amp;citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:_xSYboBqXhAC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/e98a41573a8509146d6140b8738550b5.pdf 1a5a035da6287bf4a432d5d15bd3249b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Venture capital as innovative source of financing equity capital after the financial crisis in Spain Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Fauna Atta Frimpong, Ellis Kofi Akwaa-Sekyi, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Ramon Saladrigues Solé Description An account of the resource The global financial crisis affected the supply of funds to finance equity capital, thus calling for innovative risk capital financing methods. The paper explores the sources of venture capital (VC henceforth) fundraising and determines the relationship between VC fundraising, stock market returns, and market capitalization in Spain. The study uses time-series data of VC fundraising and stock market variables from 1989 to 2020 in a vector error correction model analysis after performing cointegration. The paper reports short-run and long-run causal relations between VC fundraising, stock market returns, and market capitalization when VC fundraising and stock market returns are used as dependent variables. However, such relations do not exist when the model is dependent on market capitalization. Our results show that the VC market raises funds from diversified (geographical and institutional) sources.
