This paper presents a time-sequential probabilistic simulation model for the detailed design of maintenance strategies turbine critical items. The term item shall refer to any part, component, device, subsystem, or functional unit wind that can be individually described and considered. enables farm operators manufactures find most cost-effective strategy each item. Cost optimizations are realiz...

Previous Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Costing (LCC) studies on urban drainage systems only included construction materials in the system inventories. The present study aims to suggest an LCA LCC method that for first time, considers inventories from four main phases life cycle impact assessment, including extraction of aggregates production blocks, transportation, construction, civil work fi...

In this paper, the development of an Activity-based Cost (ABC) model is presented for use in design for demanufacture under the presence of uncertainty. Demanufacture is defined as the process opposite to manufacturing involved in recycling materials and product components after a product has been taken back by a company. The crux in developing an ABC model is to identify the activities that wi...

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is now being increasingly used as a technology tool to assist design professions in conceiving, designing, constructing, and operating the built environment in many countries. The BIM model provides design professions with the framework to perform exercises in design, programming, cost and value management, and concept energy analysis, in order to achieve th...
