Improving Workforce Scheduling of Aircraft Line Maintenance at Sabena Technics

This paper presents our application of a visualization tool and optimization model based on mixed-integer linear programming to solve a workforce staffing and scheduling problem at Sabena Technics, a major aircraft maintenance company in Belgium. We used the software to generate many alternative, cost-efficient schedules and to analyze multiple scenarios. In several management meetings, stakeho...

Construction, operation, and maintenance of rubber dams

Rubber dams are inflatable and deflatable hydraulic structures. Thousands of rubber dams have been installed worldwide for various purposes: irrigation, water supply, power generation, tidal barrier, flood control, environmental improvement, and recreation. Furthermore, rubber dams have been used in cold areas where the temperature is as low as –40°C. The simplicity and flexibility of the rubbe...

Virus contamination from operation and maintenance events in small drinking water distribution systems.

We tested the association of common events in drinking water distribution systems with contamination of household tap water with human enteric viruses. Viruses were enumerated by qPCR in the tap water of 14 municipal systems that use non-disinfected groundwater. Ultraviolet disinfection was installed at all active wellheads to reduce virus contributions from groundwater to the distribution syst...

Technics and Informatics in Education

Pneumatic circular manipulator is a new experimental facility developed for testing different control methods and energy efficiency of automated systems with compressed air as a working medium. Also, the manipulator has the ability of remote control, via the Internet and thereby it is an important didactic tool for teaching in the field of pneumatic control with multiple actuators. In this pape...
