Background
As a part of the Service Organization’s earlier initiated and at the moment on-going project;
“A more efficient Service Organization”, daily management has been identified as playing a
major part. The starting-point for this has been to gain insight into how the Service
Organization is actually performing and how it would be possible to measure, follow-up and
visualize this performance. To attain a higher performance, the focus has been on utilizing the
philosophy based on Lean Production. By attaining better insight, arrangements and
improvements to become more efficient can easily be done.
Problem definition
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are measurements that in a true and continuous way
indicate how a process is performing and supports continual improvements. The question is
what to measure, how to measure it and how to make use of and visualize it. Therefore this
thesis presents one case study on how KPIs could be incorporated in daily work.
Purpose
The purpose of this master thesis is to apply the philosophy of Lean Production to a service
environment and suggest ways of following up as well as visualizing the daily work conducted.
Method
This master thesis has been conducted with a systems approach and the data has been
gathered qualitatively. The information has been gathered through literature studies and
interviews as well as observations during our time spent at the Service Organization.
Project conclusions
The employees at the Service Organization are heading towards an exciting future. There are
large opportunities for improvement, and follow-up of the daily work is perfectly possible.
Improvements to create prerequisites for daily management by identifying customer needs,
shifting from being reactive to proactive and standardizations are suggested in different
contexts. Furthermore an improved feedback and measurement system containing external as
well as internal feedback is proposed, along with a general model for establishing a culture of
continuous improvements.
Context. The future deployment of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will lead to a massive influx of astronomical data and the automatic detection and characterization of sources will therefore prove crucial in utilizing its full potential. Aims. We examine how existing astronomical knowledge and tools can be utilized in a machine learning-based pipeline to find 3D spectral line sources. Methods. We present a source-finding pipeline designed to detect 21-cm emission from galaxies that provides the second-best submission of SKA Science Data Challenge 2. The first pipeline step was galaxy segmentation, which consisted of a convolutional neural network (CNN) that took an H I cube as input and output a binary mask to separate galaxy and background voxels. The CNN was trained to output a target mask algorithmically constructed from the underlying source catalog of the simulation. For each source in the catalog, its listed properties were used to mask the voxels in its neighborhood that capture plausible signal distributions of the galaxy. To make the training more efficient, regions containing galaxies were oversampled compared to the background regions. In the subsequent source characterization step, the final source catalog was generated by the merging and dilation modules of the existing source-finding software S O F I A, and some complementary calculations, with the CNN-generated mask as input. To cope with the large size of H I cubes while also allowing for deployment on various computational resources, the pipeline was implemented with flexible and configurable memory usage. Results. We show that once the segmentation CNN has been trained, the performance can be fine-tuned by adjusting the parameters involved in producing the catalog from the mask. Using different sets of parameter values offers a trade-off between completeness and reliability.
