Purpose: In recent years, although several studies have focused on Lean Six Sigma project selection, none of them have applied a Lean Six Sigma approach to evaluate e-health reference architectures. Therefore, there is a significant gap of Lean Six Sigma application for e-Health architectures in e-Health care quality improvement literature. In this paper, we present a Lean Six Sigma approach to...

Considering nonlinear variation of working fluid’s specific heat with its temperature, finite-time thermodynamic theory is applied to analyze and optimize the characteristics an irreversible Atkinson cycle. Through numerical calculations, performance relationships between cycle dimensionless power density versus compression ratio thermal efficiency are obtained, respectively. When design parame...

This study aims at identifying and ranking the performance influencing factors (PIFs) that cause error in human operations. The failure weight rate for tasks carried out by each operator were investigated. Assessing these reduces error, hence increasing safety, efficiency job satisfaction. methods of linear programming technique multidimensional analysis preference (LINMAP) Bayesian Belief Netw...
