Partial discharge monitoring is an effective on-line predictive maintenance test for motors and generators, as well as other electrical distribution equipment. The benefits of on-line testing allow for equipment analysis and diagnostics during normal production. Corrective actions can be planned and implemented, resulting in reduced unscheduled downtime. This paper will present a theory to prom...

This paper proposes a comparison among the exact methods Rank Ordered Cluster, Single Linkage Clustering and the metaheuristics Tabu Search and Genetic Algorithm for Manufacturing Cell Formation Problem. The Manufacturing Cell Formation consists of group machines for processing similar parts or components in order to minimize setup time. Setup time can be defined as the period of downtime betwe...

Today’s computing environments do not provide support for seamless user mobility. We argue that the support for user mobility between various computing environments can be improved by using live migration of virtual machines and present our initial steps in this direction. We are addressing efficient live migration of persistent storage without leaving residual depencies between migration sites...

The bottleneck (BN) of a production line is a machine that impedes the system’s performance in the strongest manner. It has been shown in the previous work that the so-called downtime bottlenecks (DT-BNs) are of main industrial importance. In this paper, a method for DT-BN identification is developed in the framework of serial production lines with unreliable (Markovian) machines and finite buf...

Server consolidation is a vital mechanism in modern data centers in order to minimize expenses with infrastructure. In most cases, server consolidation may require migrating virtual machines between different physical servers. Although the downtime of live-migration is negligible, the amount of time to migrate all virtual machines can be substantial, delaying the completion of the consolidation...

The paper deals with solution of logistic problem for converter production of metallurgical enterprises. A developed multiagent simulation model of converter production is applied to solve the problem. This model allows assessing the different variants of the cranes motion between steelmaking aggregates. Three variants of the cranes motion have been considered during experiments with the model....

A spreadsheet-based model for economically characterizing the operation of a radiation treatment program has been used to perform a quantitative financial analysis of scheduled and unscheduled downtime. The incremental cost of downtime is broken down into three categories: remuneration of in-house or third party service technologists, decreased patient capacity, and local operating procedures f...

PT X is a cement manufacturer company that experienced loss of production caused by the high value downtime. Based on downtime data, raw mill machine appears to have most significant in This study aims measure machine's effectiveness applying Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). The method used this research Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). measures engine and factor analysis using Six Big...

Clinicians are dependent on the electronic health record and workflows to provide clinical care. Downtimes always a threat, but in time of cyberattacks, downtimes no longer transient short-term events involving broken piece network. may be crime scenes multiple levels law enforcement remain unresolved for days or weeks. Nursing units need prepare through downtime drills; creation boxes with pap...

Effective workplace-based interventions after critical incidents (CIs) are needed for emergency medical technicians (EMT)/paramedics. The evidence for a period out of service post-CI (downtime) is sparse; however it may prevent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and burnout symptoms. We examined the hypothesis that downtime post-CI is associated with fewer symptoms of four long-term emotional...
