Process Design for Efficient Scheduling

For manufacturing, management needs to make rapid, informed strategic decisions to react to changes in the market place. In many of these cases the decisions will give rise to a redesign of the manufacturing processes (layout, changes in product mix and volumes), which in turn changes the nature of the scheduling problems associated with the production facilities. However, the necessary skills ...

Integrating Outsourcing in the Maintenance Process

Outsourcing of software life cycle activities is a growing business area in many sectors influenced by Information Technologies. This fact, coupled with the usual lack of planning and high costs of software maintenance, may invite many organizations to outsource this important process of the software life cycle. Such outsourcing should be relied to a “technological associate” who can carry out ...

Adaptive Gaussian Predictive Process Approximation

We address the issue of knots selection for Gaussian predictive process methodology. Predictive process approximation provides an effective solution to the cubic order computational complexity of Gaussian process models. This approximation crucially depends on a set of points, called knots, at which the original process is retained, while the rest is approximated via a deterministic extrapolati...

Predictive maintenance policy based on process data

a r t i c l e i n f o For the 'under maintained' and 'over maintained' problems of traditional preventive maintenance, a new predictive maintenance policy is developed based on process data in this article to overcome these disadvantages. This predictive maintenance method utilizes results of probabilistic fault prediction, which reveals evolvement of the system's degradation for a gradually de...
