The existing building that has high value of facilities is important to make functional after immediate post-earthquake. Current codes and provisions cannot cover all structures located in active seismic zone and these structures are not capable of withstanding seismic action. Furthermore, heavy active earthquakes in urban areas have obviously established an urgency to measure performance of the existing building, upgrade and strengthen these seismic undersupplied structures. Many researchers worked in recent years to measure the performance of the building structures and develop various strengthening and rehabilitation techniques to improve the seismic performance of structures. The main objectives of this research are to evaluate the seismic performance of the steel frame building is designed as a multi-storey office building under seismic action located in Timisoara, Romania and using pushover analysis for the Life Safety performance level under an earthquake hazard level with 10% probability of exceedance in 30, 50, 100, 225, 475 and 975 years. The seismic performance of the building is measured by the push-over analysis by FEM software SAP2000. For this push over analysis, the target displacement of the top of the building is measured for life safety performance. The demand curve for the life safety, emergency occupancy, Local damaged, structural damaged, collapse of the building is conducted for different seismic actions. Capacity curve of the building is compared to the demand curve for checking the performance mentioned above. The capacity curve is less than the demand curve for all seismic actions. The building must be retrofitted for increasing the performance during seismic actions. The steel building is retrofitted by providing the steel bracing. The bracing size used is TUB-168.3x4 mm in the direction of tension and the performance of the building is tested by using pushover analysis for the same conditions that are done for unbraced structure. The performance of the building again determined for the same seismic actions. The lateral displacement of the building has significantly improved. The capacity curve coincides the first four accelerations for unbraced structure. The capacity curve is more than the demand curve and coincide all demand curves for all return periods and all accelerations for braced frame. The size of concentric tension brace is bigger; that is why no plastic hinges formed for all peak ground accelerations.","PeriodicalId":13667,"journal":{"name":"Industrial & Engineering Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79591895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the responsibility of purchasing department to choose the correct suppliers to purchase the required products for their company. Thus, supplier evaluation technique is essential for purchase manager’s point of view to choose the best supplier among available suppliers. The literature addresses quality, delivery, technology, value and service as the five most common criteria used for supplier quality evaluation. In this chapter, approach of evaluation and selection of supplier has been presented as per the ISO 9000/TS16949 standards. Considering the most important criteria for evaluating the quality of suppliers based on a review of the literature and observation in practice. Finally, these organizations continuously review and implement effective quality systems following the rigorous ISO 9000/TS16949 series of standards and most automobile companies have developed in-house procedures and software for the supplier selection process.","PeriodicalId":13667,"journal":{"name":"Industrial & Engineering Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81769009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first part, we propose a new general model for multidisciplinary team building. The proposed model takes professional ’ s preferences into account when a team building process is required for any type of project. In the second part, we develop hybridization between a multicriterion decision method and a cognitive method for selection teams. The developed methodology is based on the experiences of the past operations in order to select the adequate team for a new operation. We test the effectiveness of the model using health care domains of different complexities and describe some practical experiences of using the model in the surgical team building process.","PeriodicalId":13667,"journal":{"name":"Industrial & Engineering Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74157341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
