Niigata Power Station-Its Planning and Operating Experience

Tire demand planning based on reliability and operating environment

Tires represent a critical spare part in mines. There is a shortage of medium and large tires. In addition, with increased mining activities and the creation of new mines, the demand for tires has increased significantly. Thus, it is particularly important for mining engineers to identify tire characteristics and correctly manage the spare part inventory. Spare parts management is critical from...

Metro Station Operating Costs: An Econometric Analysis

This article develops an econometric analysis of metro station operating cost to identify factors that create variation in cost efficiency. Stations operating costs can be classified amongst the semifixed costs that a metro faces in the sense that they do not vary proportionately with metro output. They may therefore be important in determining the degree of returns to density. This article see...

Power Consumption Minimization of Khormoj Compressor Station

Arguably, the natural gas transmission pipeline infrastructure in Iran represents one of the largest and most complex mechanical systems in the world. The optimization of large gas trunk lines known as IGAT results in reduced fuel consumption or higher capability and improves pipeline operation. In the current study, a single-objective optimization was conducted for Khormoj compressor station o...

Optimizing operating room planning

A great part of the population that is operated has to wait a long time to access the surgical procedure, and as time elapses the condition of these patients degenerates. On the other hand, the amount of time during which operating rooms are idle is signi cant. Thus, optimizing the operating theater becomes important to reduce the time patients wait for their treatment and to avoid unnecessary ...
