This paper presents an object model for maintenance management of roofing systems as a case study to demonstrate the applicability of a proposed generic framework for integrating the maintenance management of built-assets. The framework consists of five sequential management processes: (1) Identify Asset, (2) Identify Performance Requirements, (3) Assess Performance, (4) Plan Maintenance, (5) M...

The present study investigated approaches and techniques to enhance strategic management governance and decision making within the framework of a performance-based balanced scorecard. The review of best practices from strategic, program, process, and systems engineering management provided for a holistic approach toward effective outcome-based capability management. One technique, based on fact...

In this paper is researched how to achieve an effective fleet maintenance planning in transport companies, which contributes in increasing the fleet energy efficiency and in achieving the companies’ goal. Within the fleet maintenance planning, managers have to make the right decisions on the selection of vehicle service centers in the region where the maintenance work will be realized. The ment...

today according to the competitive conditions, companies try to reduce their inventory level to diminish the costs. in companies inventory management and control should establish a balance between inventory level of spare parts, cost and the risk that arising from absence of part when is needed. it is clear that this level of spare parts inventory affected by facility characteristics and its re...

Software has become one of the main villains of many organizational problems, emergencies and crises. Despite this, there is only one process model defining how to manage emergency software problems. It is CM: Emergency Problem Management. In this paper, we evaluate the applicability of the CM3: Emergency Problem Management model within five companies. Our results show that the model correctly ...

BACKGROUND Healthcare organizations have far greater maintenance needs for their medical equipment than other organization, as many are used directly with patients. However, the literature on asset management in healthcare organizations is very limited. The aim of this research is to provide more rational application of maintenance policies, leading to an increase in quality of care. METHODS ...

In asset management of infrastructures, predicting deterioration of structures is one of an essential technique to make a decision on the optimal maintenance policy. However, as for large-scaled infrastructures that consist of a huge number of structural components, in order to estimate their deterioration process with high accuracy, the heterogeneity of individual components has to be consider...

Modeling has traditionally been an important part of the multimedia software development process as it allows developers to tackle complex problems by using abstraction and hiding technical details. A models goal is to predict problems early on in design phases to avoid problems during implementation. Since defects can be detected earlier on in the software development process, the use of model...
