The Conference Theme was: "Moving Africa forward through Engineering, Technology and Innovation". The conference brought together academics, researchers and industrialists from many disciplines, in particular those that have the most impact on Africa's Development. Most conferences on the continent have covered limited disciplines and therefore the opportunity has been lost sharing information, results and knowledge in a way which can solve the many contentious issues, most of which can be solved through a multidisciplinary approach.

African nations are seeking ways to build strong institutions that are development-oriented and people-centred. Extant literature has reported the negative consequences of ineffective government communications with the public. In response, this book — the first of a two-volume edited work — focuses on marketing communication themes related to branding, public relations, trade fairs and exhibitions, and public sector communications. Public sector marketing communication plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between society and the government. Building a relationship with the public through appropriate communication tools and platforms is sacrosanct to restoring public sector image and trust. The book supports this effort by sharing conceptual and theoretical research towards the marketisation of Africa’s public sector as it strives to become an effective partner with the public it serves. Together with the second volume, which focuses on traditional and digital perspectives, this collection fills an existing information gap that is evident in Africa’s public sector.

As the electrical industry continues to develop, one sector that still faces a range of concerns is the electrical distribution system. Excessive industrialization and inadequate billing are just a few issues that have plagued this electrical sector as it advances into the smart grid environment. Research is necessary to explore the possible solutions in fixing these problems and developing the distribution sector into an active and smart system. The Handbook of Research on New Solutions and Technologies in Electrical Distribution Networks is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of solving major issues within the electrical distribution system. Some issues covered within the publication include distribution losses, improper monitoring of system, renewable energy integration with micro-grid and distributed energy sources, and smart home energy management system modelling. This book is ideally designed for power engineers, electrical engineers, energy professionals, developers, technologists, policymakers, researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and students seeking current research on improving this key sector of the electrical industry.

This book is the proceeding of the International Conference on Sustainable Engineering Development and Technological Innovation (ICSEDTI 2022) that was successfully held on 11-13 October 2022 using an hybrid platform. The conference is themed “Sustainable empowerment of innovative solutions through the development of integrated scientific researches to enhance the advanced technological world”, which represents our belief of how the sustainability is essential in our approach to solve problems through technological innovation. A total of 56 papers were submitted and presented within the sessions of the conference. The papers’ topics revolve around Informatics Technology, Electrical Technology, Marine Technology, Manufacturing System and Technology, Mechanical Engineering, And also Information Industry and Management. In addition to the technical paper presentations, there were also five keynote speeches featured, and eight plenary talks were delivered. Two of the keynote speeches were delivered in person by Professor Selo from Universitas Gajah Mada, Indonesia, and Professor Goib Wiranto from the National Research and Innovation Agency, Indonesia. The rest of the keynote speeches were delivered online by Professor Yvon Kermarrec from IMT Atlantique, France; Professor Ian Gibson from University of Twente, Netherlands; and Dr. Ilham Akbar Habibie from The Association of Indonesian Engineer, Indonesia. It was a great pleasure to work with the technical program committee led by Mr. Hilfi Pardi, who have completed the imperative process of peer-review on the technical papers submitted in this conference. We are also very fortunate to have on our side the excellent organizing committee team of the Faculty of Engineering of UMRAH who work very hard to organize and support the conference. Finally, our appreciation to all the authors who have participated in this conference with their amazing achievements and enthusiasm. We firmly believe that ICSEDTI is a suitable platform for researchers, engineers, and developers who are concerned with sustainability in engineering and technological development. We hope in the coming years ICSEDTI will be better in terms of the organization of the conference, the quantity and the quality of the researches submitted, and most importantly the impact on the sustainability of technological innovation.

Hybrid Simulation-based Lean Management Methodology to Improve the Sustainability of the Construction Phase

This research aims to develop a hybrid methodology to support lean management to improve the sustainability of the construction phase. The combination of Value Stream Mapping and Process-based Life Cycle Assessment is enhanced by integrating with simulation methods to consider the environmental performance of the construction phase. Data from predefined process patterns, Life Cycle Assessment databases, and Building Information Modelling models, are used as input to the simulation-based Value Stream Mapping model. This methodology will enable an examination of the environmental impact of particular situations as what-if scenarios, during the planning and construction phases, without compromising the achievement of the construction process objectives.
