Application of value stream mapping (VSM) for lean and cycle time reduction in complex production environments: a case study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
The application of VSM is a proven approach for lean-based improvements. Typically, this becomes challenging, when applied for complex production environments. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate, how with some ...
What is Middle Maintenance Policy?
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The main purpose of this paper is to propose several new maintenance policies that can be performed at suitable middle times for trivariate preventive maintenance scenarios. Firstly, characteristics and limitations for the ...
Economic cost models of integrated APC controlled SPC charts
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2012 , Article)
In this paper, an economic cost model is proposed for processes integrating both automatic process control (APC) and statistical process control (SPC) for quality monitoring and control. Both the special cause and common ...
A framework for condition-based maintenance scheduling
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a general framework for planning and optimizing Condition-Based Maintenance scheduling. We assume that the hazard function depends, not only on time, but also on the system state which degrades over ...
Condition-based maintenance for continuously monitored degrading systems with multiple failure modes
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2013 , Article)
This article develops an optimum Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) policy for continuously monitored degrading systems with multiple failure modes. The degradation of system state is described by a stochastic process, and ...
Adaptive cumulative sum charts with the adaptive runs rule
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2013 , Article)
Adaptive cumulative sum (ACUSUM) charts, which adjust the reference value dynamically based on estimated shift size, provide good performance in detecting a range of mean shifts. However, when the range is wide, ACUSUM may ...
Approximate methods for optimal replacement, maintenance, and inspection policies
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
It might be difficult sometimes to derive theoretical and numerical solutions for analytical maintenance modelings due to the computational complexity. This paper takes up several approximate models in maintenance theory, ...
Three maintenances for age replacement policies
(
International Society of Science and Applied Technologies
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Preventive replacement policy conducted at a routine time T* has been surveyed extensively in literatures. Another two random replacement times Y1 and Y2 are jointly considered in this paper. We formulate the models of ...
