Reinforced concrete (RC) is used as the primary structural material in almost all construction projects worldwide, from infrastructure to building projects. Since formwork an essential part of RC supply chain, it has a significant impact on project performance. In industrial systems roles and responsibilities main stakeholders (e.g., engineer, contractor, fabricator) at various phases can be re...

An erosion hazard index methodology (EHIM) was developed for assessing stream erosion. The index of stream erosion is designed as a management tool. Assessing stream erosion involves consideration of a range of aspects of streams and a value judgment about a desirable state. The assessment of the erosion indicators of streams was based on a state-wide assessment of physical stream condition. A ...

Abstract Several studies show a demand for further transfer of Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies into practice. This paper describes how companies can be supported methodologically to identify individual opportunities optimization within their future smart factories. Existing methods are screened, recombined, enhanced create sufficient demand-oriented approach, based on the lean value stre...
