The research attempt to increase flexibility in shop floor and improve rate of production through maintenance engineering policies. is grounded on analysis data collected from manufacturing based MSMEs review literature spare parts published referred journals. study derives a further framework model comprising three strategies (Supply chain management, inventory engineering) production. aforesa...

This paper analyzed the multi-machine repairable system with one unreliable server and repairman. The machines may break at any time. One oversees servicing machine breakdown. fail time different failure rates in idle busy repairman is responsible for repairing failure; repair rate variable to adapt whether are all functioning normally or not. All distributions exponential. Using quasi-birth-de...

This paper considers the impact of random machine breakdowns on the classical Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model for a product subject to exponential decay and under a no-resumption (NR) inventory control policy. A product is manufactured in batches on a machine that is subject to random breakdowns in order to meet a constant demand over an infinite planning horizon. The product is assume...

The ETICA project aims to identify emerging information and communication technologies. These technologies are then analysed and evaluated from an ethical perspective. The aim of this analysis is to suggest possible governance arrangements that will allow paying proactive attention to such ethical issues. During the ETICA workshop at the summer school, participants were asked to choose one of t...

This paper presents a unique flywheel-based regenerative energy recovery, storage and release system developed at the author’s laboratory. It can recover and store regenerative energy produced by braking a motion generator with intermittent rotary velocity such as the rotor of a wind turbogenerator subject to intermittent intake wind and the axels of electric and hybrid gas-electric vehicles du...

For the construction environment of large bridges is complex and there are too much uncertain factors during the course of the construction, it is difficult for the general method of risk identification to identify the risks wholly and systematically. This study presents a new method of risk identification with modular analysis based on WBS-RBS (Work Breakdown Structure-Risk Breakdown Structure...

In this chapter we provide an overview of the application of the results obtained in Sensoria (i.e., techniques, methods and languages developed in the technical work packages WP1-WP7) to case studies from the Automotive, eUniversity, Finance and Telecommunication domains (developed in work package WP8).

Nowadays, laser-based techniques play a significant role in medicine, mainly the ophthalmology, dermatology, and surgical fields.
