Rework that is often experienced in construction projects is primarily caused by errors made during the design process. Factors that contribute to design errors are identified and used to design and develop a systems dynamics model, which is used to simulate a number of practical scenarios that can be used to reduce design errors and rework. The DEsign and COnstruction REwork Minimisation (DECO...

One of the important problems in the field of Construction Industry is ‘rework’. It affects time, costs, quality, and almost every criteria of project success. As a result of rework and ineffective use of resources and materials in the workshops, there is always a considerable loss of resources, materials, investments, and workforce-time. Designing and planning through full awareness of clients...

This paper presents a framework for optimizing the location(s) and characteristics (fault coverage/test cost, rework success rate/rework cost) of Test/Diagnosis/Rework (TDR) operations in the assembly process for electronic systems. A new search algorithm called Waiting Sequence Search (WSS) is applied to traverse a general process flow in order to perform the cumulative calculation of a yielde...

this paper deals with the single machine multi-product lot scheduling problem in which defective items are produced in any production run of each product. we have adopted the common cycle scheduling policy and assumed that the setup times for production of each product can be non-zero. further, we have assumed that defective items will be reworked and the inspection costs during the normal prod...

We study the problem of planning the production of new and recovering defective items of the same product manufactured on the same facility. Items of the product are produced in batches. The processing of a batch includes two stages. In the first work stage, all items of a batch are manufactured and good quality items go to the inventory to satisfy given demands. In the second rework stage, som...

Rework is an interesting topic in the contract management of construction projects. An effective way improving performance on projects to manage rework. However, managing rework challenging because dynamic nature activities. A rational starting point identification root causes then a framework for its can be developed performance. This paper reviews rework-related studies industry through criti...

This paper derives the optimal production-shipment policy for a vendor-buyer integrated system with rework process and a cost lessening product delivery plan. The objective is to derive the optimal production lot size and number of deliveries that minimizes total costs for the proposed vendor-buyer integrated system. This paper extends the work of Chiu et al. [Joint determination of the product...

Programmers sometimes leave incomplete, temporary workarounds and buggy codes that require rework. This phenomenon in software development is referred to as Selfadmitted Technical Debt (SATD). The challenge therefore is for software engineering researchers and practitioners to resolve the SATD problem to improve the software quality. We performed an exploratory study using a text mining approac...
