The paper concerns the method of determining probability unproductive manipulations during operations, maintenance or repairs on an inland intermodal terminal. is mathematically based semi-Markov process. developed enables revision manipulation frequency and duration. It provides opportunity to analyse change terminal operations so as increase productivity.

This is the last part of a four-part survey of optimization models and solution algorithms for winter road maintenance planning. The two first parts of the survey address system design problems for winter road maintenance. The third part concentrates mainly on vehicle routing problems for spreading operations. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive survey of optimization models and...

Usually, scheduling of maintenance operations and production sequencing are dealt with separately in the literature and, therefore, also in the industry. Given that maintenance affects available production time and elapsed production time affects the probability of machine failure, this interdependency seems to be overlooked in the literature. This paper presents a comparative study on joint pr...

Program affordability needs to be built-in at the initial concept formulation stage. For NASA’s space exploration vision this is critical for long range sustainability of human presence in space. What is often overlooked in the initial concept formulation of a large scale system endeavor such as NASA’s Constellation program is the hidden cost of maintaining requisite operational safety margins ...
