Abstract

Glass is one of the most adaptable modern materials. However, the use of glass can have unfavorable effects such as glare, heat, and discomfort. This study focuses on the issue of designing contemporary glass buildings and facades in humid tropical environments to evaluate the thermal comfort of building occupants and assess its effects on the completion of cognitive tasks. The Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) parameter was used to measure thermal comfort, and the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) scale was used to assess thermal comfort perception. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment was used to assess eight female respondents’ cognitive abilities, and the cut-off point was 26. The WBGT has a temperature range of 25, 54°–28, 83°C, in terms of thermal sensation, 54% of respondents feel hot and 62% are uncomfortable. In the completion of cognitive tasks, 75% received a score of less than 26. The results show that there is an effect of thermal comfort on cognitive performance. Due to respondents feeling uncomfortable in high-rise buildings with glass facades, as well as with cognitive outcomes that are below the cut-off point, recommendations for improvement are needed to increase thermal comfort, such as double glass facades.

Abstract

International shipping poses challenges such as customs clearance delays, slow delivery speeds, and process bottlenecks, leading to time wasstage, increased costs, and potential profit losses. These issues impact specific processes and customer satisfaction. Lean Six Sigma offers a robust framework for identifying and eliminating waste in international shipping processes. Applying the lean service approach, we identified four key waste types in international shipping: delay, duplication, unnecessary movement, and error. However, a Pareto diagram highlighted delay and error as critical culprits, with sigma values of 1.85 for delay and 2.92, 3.46, 3.77 for the three error types, respectively. These low sigma values indicate significant room for improvement After conducting an impact analysis and failure mode analysis (FMEA), four improvement recommendations were proposed: the implementation of an online shipping form filling system, providing customs training to all counter employees, and creating SOPs for inspection processes at the warehouse. These recommendations form a roadmap for international shipping companies to embrace Lean Six Sigma, enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving customer satisfaction.
