The aim of this paper is to show the application of Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) for efficient and cost-effective manufacturing. Companies need better economic gains from enhanced production, but downtime affects this paradigm. Bair Dar Textile Share Company (BDTSC) is no exception. The looming section of the case company faces on average 38.69% of downtime from the total production time...

The study of downtime and subsequently machine utilization in a given project is one of the major requirements of an accurate estimation of TBM performance and daily advance rate. Interestingly, while it is very common to report the components of downtime when discussing a tunneling project in the literature; there has not been a great amount of in-depth studies on this topic in the recent year...

A spreadsheet-based model for economically characterizing the operation of a radiation treatment program has been used to perform a quantitative financial analysis of scheduled and unscheduled downtime. The incremental cost of downtime is broken down into three categories: remuneration of in-house or third party service technologists, decreased patient capacity, and local operating procedures f...

Clinicians are dependent on the electronic health record and workflows to provide clinical care. Downtimes always a threat, but in time of cyberattacks, downtimes no longer transient short-term events involving broken piece network. may be crime scenes multiple levels law enforcement remain unresolved for days or weeks. Nursing units need prepare through downtime drills; creation boxes with pap...

Effective workplace-based interventions after critical incidents (CIs) are needed for emergency medical technicians (EMT)/paramedics. The evidence for a period out of service post-CI (downtime) is sparse; however it may prevent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and burnout symptoms. We examined the hypothesis that downtime post-CI is associated with fewer symptoms of four long-term emotional...

This study shows the usefulness of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in maintenance planning and man-agement. An ANN model based on the multi-layer perceptron having three hidden layers and four processing elements per layer was built to predict the expected downtime resulting from a breakdown or a maintenance activity. The model achieved an accuracy of over 70% in predicting the expected downtime.

Medical tools needs to be managed efficiently and sensibly from the initial step of procurement till being damaged. This includes acquiring procedure, operative procedures and the maintenance policies used in this regards. Managing the maintenance of medical tools is vigorous for the patient, medical doctors and for the hospital itself. One of the main complications in healthcare sector today i...

Numerous studies have considered penalty as part of lease contract stipulation, which incurs whenever equipment downtime exceed a predetermined level. Under this stipulation, lessor would then choose maintenance effort level just enough to hinder them from penalty. Since it is used for business purpose, lower equipment downtime would always preferable for the lessee but necessarily for the less...
