  2. 11. Towards strategic development of maintenance and its effects on production performance : A hybrid simulation-based optimization framework

    Author : Gary Linnéusson; Amos H. C. Ng; Tehseen Aslam; Daniel Tesfamariam Semere; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strategic development; maintenance behavior; maintenance management; sustainable change; tradeoff optimization; system dynamics; discrete event simulation; problem structuring; multi-objective optimization; decision support; Production and Automation Engineering; Produktion och automatiseringsteknik;

    Abstract : Managing maintenance in manufacturing within an economical short-termism framework and taking the consequential long-term cost effects into account is hard. The increasing complexity of managing maintenance and its impact on the business results calls for more advanced methods to support long-term development through effective activities in the production system environment.

  4. 12. Winter maintenance and cycleways

    Author : Anna Bergström; KTH; []
    Keywords : cycleways; winter maintenance; maintenance service level; mode choice; winter cycling frequency; winter road condition assessment; bicycle measurements; friction measurement; winter maintenance equipment;

    Abstract : Increasing cycling as a means of personal travel couldgenerate environmental benefits if associated with acorresponding decrease in car-based transport. In seeking topromote cycling in wintertime, it is desirable to understandhow important the road surface condition is compared to otherfactors in people's decision to cycle or not. READ MORE

  5. 13. Data-driven models for railway track geometry maintenance

    Author : Hamid Khajehei; Alireza Ahmadi; John Andrews; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
