-In present era of automation and modernization, setting up of production plants involves huge capital investment especially for the process industry. The deterioration and failure of these systems might incur high costs due to production losses and delays, unplanned intervention on the system and safety hazards .The causes of failure may be human error, poor maintenance, inadequate testing, in...

life cycle study of a product is an accepted method for determining the side effects of its production process on environment during its complete life cycle. in this research, the impacts of global warming, acidification, terrestrial eutrophication and fossil resources depletion per unit yield of wheat (ton) on environment were investigated using life cycle assessment method in marvdasht region...

One important issue in using the industrial and manufacturing facilities is to consider their impacts on the environment. Many of these equipment have negative effects on the environment when operated for sometimes. In this research the probabilistic logistic times and the destructive effects for maintenance are studied and appropriate model is suggested and evaluated. The aim of the proposed m...
