background: human error is the most important cause of occupational and non-occupational accidents. because, it seems necessary to identify, predict and analyze human errors, and also offer appropriate control strategies to reduce errors which cause adverse consequences, the present study was carried out with the aim of identifying human errors while operating meat grinder and offer suggestions...

in this paper, a mixed-integer linearized programming (minlp) model is presented to design a group layout (gl) of a cellular manufacturing system (cms) in a dynamic environment with considering production planning (pp) decisions. this model incorporates with an extensive coverage of important manufacturing features used in the design of cmss. there are also some features that make the presented...

a water jet machining is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using avery high-pressure jet of water, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. this paperaddresses the concept of the intelligent knowledge base system (ikbs) for optimization of productdesign and manufacturing process for water jet machining in computer based concurrentengineering environment. ...

a brief overview of the historical development of ergonomics in organizational design and management (odam) is presented. as a component of technology or ergonomics, macro ergonomics are described as a systematic. scientifically based means of optimizing work system  design. macro ergonomics  might  be reoffered  to  as: organization - environment - human - machine interface technology. involve...

A novel method to compute the stability region in power system transient stability analysis is presented. This method is based on the set analysis. The key to this method is to construct the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs (HJI) partial differential equation (PDE) of a nonlinear system, using which we can compute the backward reachable set by applying the level set methods. The backward reachable set of...

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication devices communicate and exchange information with each other in an independent manner to perform necessary tasks. The machine communicates another over a wireless network. Wireless opens up the environment huge vulnerabilities, making it very easy for hackers gain access sensitive carry out malicious actions. This paper proposes M2M system through internet...
