Integration of Condition Based Maintenance in the Preventive Maintenance Planning of Rolling Stock

Planning rolling stock maintenance based on prognostic data (Condition Based Maintenance, CBM) is a trend since the ideal timing for maintenance before failure can be planned. With the use of prognostics, a failure can be predicted so Corrective Maintenance (CM) can be avoided. Traditional rolling stock decision-making for Preventive Maintenance...

Route plan scheduling for automated guided vehicles at container terminals

Heavy competition between container terminals and the increasing volume of world-wide container shipment force container terminals to continuously increase productivity and reduce costs. An important condition for optimal operation of container terminals is that Quay Cranes (QCs) maximize their productive time, which requires a minimal lateness...

The challenges in scheduling multiple collaborative design projects in the front-end phases

In large engineering organizations, multiple projects run in parallel, and their progress is controlled through scheduling. Schedulers often go through the cycles of scheduling: making schedules, executing them, monitoring the status, receiving changes in decisions, and updating schedules again. The schedules easily mismatch with how the...

Maximizing operational readiness in defense aviation by optimization of flight and maintenance planning

The primary objective of a defense aviation operator or air force, is to maximize its continued readiness to successfully perform military flight operations, whenever and wherever the home state or international community calls for it. In order to maintain a satisfactory level of operational readiness, air forces need to ensure that sufficient...

Visualisatie en ondersteuning bij planning en scheduling

Dit verslag is het resultaat van het bachelorproject van onze studie Technische Informatica aan de Technische Universiteit Delft. Bij dit project is het de bedoeling om de aangeleerde concepten en ontwikkelmethoden toe te passen in een realistisch project. Hierbij dient het volledige proces van softwareontwikkeling te worden doorlopen. Tevens is...
