Prototype Evaluation Initiatives in a New Jersey Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Facility
نویسنده
چکیده
In September 1989, the United States Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection(NJDEP) entered into a two(2) year agreement to evaluate pollution prevention prototype technologies in the vehicle maintenance and repair industry. Through a contractor, New Jersey Institute of Technology(NJIT), and in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Transportation(NJDOT)( the host facility for this study), at least five(5) target technologies have been identified for further evaluation. Each of these technical initiatives will require different evaluations and different types of measurements. The discussion in this paper describes the approach to technical evaluation of these technologies with status and preliminary results. This paper has been reviewed in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's peer and administrative review policies and approved for presentation and publication.

A hybrid DEA-based K-means and invasive weed optimization for facility location problem
In this paper, instead of the classical approach to the multi-criteria location selection problem, a new approach was presented based on selecting a portfolio of locations. First, the indices affecting the selection of maintenance stations were collected. The K-means model was used for clustering the maintenance stations. The optimal number of clusters was calculated through the Silhou...

The management of recalcitrant patellar tendinopathies in the athletic population can be vexing to both the surgeonand patient. To date the majority of treatments for this disease pathology are non-surgical in nature. When surgicalintervention is required, open debridement and/or tendon take-down with repair has been necessary. We proposea novel technique for the treatment of insertional patell...
متن کاملMaintenance Cost Analysis for Replacement Model with Perfect Minimal Repair
With the evolution of technology, the maintenance of sophisticated systems is of concern for system engineers and system designers. The maintenance cost of the system depends in general on the replacement and repair policies. The system replacement may be in a strictly periodic fashion or on a random basis depending upon the maintenance policy. At failure, the repair of the system may be perfor...

This paper studies an M/G/1 repairable queueing system with multiple vacations and N-policy, in which the service station is subject to occasional random breakdowns. When the service station breaks down, it is repaired by a repair facility. Moreover, the repair facility may fail during the repair period of the service station. The failed repair facility resumes repair after completion of its re...
