Re-Thinking Data Strategy and Integration for Artificial Intelligence: Concepts, Opportunities, and Challenges
( MDPI , 2023 , Article Review)The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more prevalent across industries such as healthcare, finance, and transportation. Artificial intelligence is based on the analysis of large datasets and requires a ... -
Multi-sensor degradation data analysis
( Italian Association of Chemical Engineering - AIDIC , 2013 , Conference Paper)Multiple sensors are commonly used for degradation monitoring of critical components. The degradation indicators derived from these sensors are significantly different in terms of scale and interpretation. Since these ... -
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 ... -
Methodological Approach to Assessing the Current State of Organizations for AI-Based Digital Transformation
( MDPI , 2024 , Article)In an era defined by technological disruption, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into business processes is both strategic and challenging. As AI continues to disrupt and reshape industries and revolutionize ... -
AI-Powered Innovation in Digital Transformation: Key Pillars and Industry Impact
( MDPI , 2024 , Article)Digital transformation systems generate a substantial volume of data, creating opportunities for potential innovation, particularly those driven by artificial intelligence. This study focuses on the intricate relationship ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
ISO 9000:2000 quality management standard: Experience in the state of Qatar
( Inderscience Publishers , 2008 , Article)The main purpose of this paper is to assess the experience of different organisations in the state of Qatar upon adopting the ISO 9000:2000 quality management standard. It is required to report the available motives, ... -
ISO 9000 performance among the Malaysian companies: The effects of motives
( Inderscience Publishers , 2009 , Article)This paper presents the results of a study to identify the real motives behind ISO 9000 Certification. Towards this goal, a survey of some 300 ISO 9000 certified companies has been carried out for Malaysian manufacturing ... -
Critical success factors of TQM: A UK study
( Inderscience Publishers , 2008 , Article)This paper has presented the results of a study on Critical Success Factors for Total Quality Management (TQM) implementation in UK organisations. A survey instrument (10 Success Factors) developed by Yusof and Aspinwall ... -

( Springer , 2022 , Article)The present research exposes the investigation on three-dimensional modeling of the single and twin metro tunnels for the case of the Tehran metro line. At first, simulation implemented on the comparison of the ground ... -
Investigating nonlinear vibrations of higher-order hyper-elastic beams using the Hamiltonian method
( Springer , 2020 , Article)This paper presents a higher-order shear deformation beam theory for modeling and nonlinear vibration analysis of hyper-elastic beams made of silicon rubber and unfilled natural rubber. Four models named neo-Hookean, ... -
Numerical and laboratory investigation of fatigue prediction models of asphalt containing glass wastes
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)In the present study, the finite element method was applied to model the fatigue behavior of glassphalt and conventional mixtures. In order to assess the efficiency level of the presented model, all mixtures were tested ... -
Dairy Wastage Footprint Analysis: A Farm-to-Fork Life Cycle Approach Across Dairy Supply Chain.
( IEOM Society , 2021 , Conference Paper)Decarbonizing practices in the food industry act as an obstacle in achieving sustainability despite climate change concerns. Roughly one-third of all food produced globally is wasted across the value chain generating 1.6 ... -
