The aim of this paper is to show the application of Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) for efficient and cost-effective manufacturing. Companies need better economic gains from enhanced production, but downtime affects this paradigm. Bair Dar Textile Share Company (BDTSC) is no exception. The looming section of the case company faces on average 38.69% of downtime from the total production time...

The article presents the application of total productive maintenance (TPM) to analyze the working time indicators of casting machines with particular emphasis on failures and unplanned downtime to reduce the proportion of emergency operation for preventive maintenance and diagnostics. The article presents that the influence of individual factors of complex machinery maintenance (TPM) is ...

Considering the increasing growth of cities, population and urban fabric density, it seems necessary that emergency facilities and services such as fire stations are positioned optimally so that they can fulfill the demands well. The aim of this study is the optimization of equipment use in the fire stations, minimization the time to arrive at the incident through management of referral call to...

Information technology in this era has an influence and provides convenience the production process, data processing information delivery. In addition, performance of machines or equipment is also more guaranteed terms accuracy operation. The purpose research to design build system line related operating time downtime information, so that machine can be controlled quickly evaluated on spot (rea...

Load balancing is one of the main challenges in a Virtual Machine (VM) Environment in order to ensure equal utilization of all the available resources while avoiding overloading a subset of machines. In this paper, we propose an efficient load balancing strategy based on VM live migration. Unlike previous work, our strategy records the history of mappings to inform future placement decisions. W...

In this paper, lean buffering (i.e., the smallest level of buffering necessary and sufficient to ensure the desired production rate of a manufacturing system) is analyzed for the case of serial lines with machines having Weibull, gamma, and log-normal distributions of upand downtime. The results obtained show that: (1) the lean level of buffering is not very sensitive to the type of upand downt...

The study of downtime and subsequently machine utilization in a given project is one of the major requirements of an accurate estimation of TBM performance and daily advance rate. Interestingly, while it is very common to report the components of downtime when discussing a tunneling project in the literature; there has not been a great amount of in-depth studies on this topic in the recent year...

The paper presents a model of risk analysis dumper operation with the aim determining most common reason for unplanned stoppages, as well as, after classifying stoppages by system, to evaluate them from aspect risk. set criteria are: time spent in downtime, frequency downtime and level danger. results research indicated causes high on observed machines, basis which priority preventive maintenan...

To make paper, machines spray wet pulp on a moving screen and extract the water from it by squeezing it between rollers, before drying it using heat and rolling it on reels as finished product. The water extracted in the squeezing process is removed by a continuous roll of fabric called a felt. There are typically three felts on a paper machine. Felts wear out over time, and therefore must be r...
