Download or read book Multicriteria and Optimization Models for Risk Reliability and Maintenance Decision Analysis written by Adiel Teixeira de Almeida and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers a broad range of areas from decision making methods applied in the contexts of Risk, Reliability and Maintenance (RRM). Intended primarily as an update of the 2015 book Multicriteria and Multiobjective Models for Risk, Reliability and Maintenance Decision Analysis, this edited work provides an integration of applied probability and decision making. Within applied probability, it primarily includes decision analysis and reliability theory, amongst other topics closely related to risk analysis and maintenance. In decision making, it includes multicriteria decision making/aiding (MCDM/A) methods and optimization models. Within MCDM, in addition to decision analysis, some of the topics related to mathematical programming areas are considered, such as multiobjective linear programming, multiobjective nonlinear programming, game theory and negotiations, and multiobjective optimization. Methods related to these topics have been applied to the context of RRM. In MCDA, several other methods are considered, such as outranking methods, rough sets and constructive approaches. The book addresses an innovative treatment of decision making in RRM, improving the integration of fundamental concepts from both areas of RRM and decision making. This is accomplished by presenting current research developments in decision making on RRM. Some pitfalls of decision models on practical applications on RRM are discussed and new approaches for overcoming those drawbacks are presented.

Download or read book Performance Based Logistics PBL Guidebook written by U S Department of Defense and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Department of Defense manual, Performance Based Logistics PBL Guidebook, is divided into three major sections, each with various subsections. Section One provides background information that addresses the history of PBL, how it works, and considerations for its application across the various phases of a program's life cycle. Section Two complements and expands upon the DoD 12-Step Product Support Strategy Process Model provided in the PSM Guidebook for systems, subsystems, or components. The steps in Section Two are intended to assist the reader in successfully implementing a PBL arrangement with the recognition that, depending on the life cycle phase, not all steps may be applicable and all are tailorable depending on the unique requirements of a given program. Section Three is the appendices. This document provides hardware-focused examples, but the steps in this document may also be applied to Major Automated Information System (MAIS) programs. As an example for the reader to follow in developing and implementing a PBL arrangement, a notional Generic Subsystem (GSS) (that implements a PBL solution with a commercial Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)) is included throughout the Guidebook.

Download or read book Supply Chain Strategies Issues and Models written by Usha Ramanathan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 21st century, supply chain operations and relationships among supply chain partners have become highly challenging, necessitating new approaches, e.g., the development of new models. Supply Chain Strategies, Issues and Models discusses supply chain issues and models with examples from actual industrial cases. Expert authors with a wide spectrum of knowledge working in various areas of supply chain management from various geographical locations offer refreshing, novel and insightful ideas and address possible solutions using established theories and models. Supply Chain Strategies, Issues and Models features studies that have used mathematical modeling, statistical analyses and also descriptive qualitative studies. The chapters cover many relevant themes related to supply chains and logistics including supply chain complexity, information sharing, quality (six sigma), electronic Kanbans, inventory models, scheduling, purchasing and contracts. To facilitate easy reading, the chapters that deal with supply chain related issues are first, followed by studies on inventory, scheduling, purchasing and logistics. This book can be used as a useful resource of supply chain management by academics, students and practitioners. This book can serve as a helping tool in managerial decision making for investments in collaboration and information exchange to improve forecasts, scheduling and inventory management, and for supply chain managers to leverage product and process complexities into competitive advantage. Some interesting mathematical models can appeal to students and researchers interested in modeling the impact of information sharing in supply chains.

Download or read book The Vested Outsourcing Manual written by Kate Vitasek and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far too many companies have developed outsourcing agreements that were created for a bygone century. Or worse, they are buying strategic services using an overly simplified commodity approach. Today's companies must build deep collaborative relationships with their suppliers that can accelerate the pace of innovation and competitive advantage amidst a new era of continual change and transformational shifts. This requires adopting a new methodology that has the inherent framework to design new levels of collaboration to drive business value. This new methodology is Vested Outsourcing. The Vested Outsourcing Manual is the companion guide to the ground-breaking book, Vested Outsourcing: Five Rules That Will Transform Outsourcing. The break-out book introduced the research study conducted by The University of Tennessee and challenged the conventional approach to how companies outsource. In The Vested Outsourcing Manual, Kate Vitasek and her co-authors have taken the Five Rules of Vested Outsourcing and developed the roadmap to creating a Vested Agreement through which each party has a vested interest in mutually-defined and desired outcomes. Vested Outsourcing methodology is built on a flexible framework that lays the foundational structure for the parties to come together and create a shared vision, foster an anticipatory lens, share evolving expertise, manage change and drive the required behavior for both parties to drive innovation and mitigate risk. These flexible - vested - agreements will allow the creation of value systems that have the ability to transform every industry and society. Shared vision, desired outcomes, transparency, trust, and win-win are not simply buzz words - they are the principals and values of Vested Outsourcing, being embraced by innovative giants like Microsoft, Intel, and P&G. Now companies and their suppliers have the manual to create a business model for a new century of constant change.
