Insufficient number of internal trucks causes a delay in transporting containers and results in low productivity of quay cranes which is the bottleneck of any container terminal. This paper presents a new approach for assigning quay cranes in container terminal taking into consideration the availability of internal truscks. A two phase solution methodology is proposed. In the first phase, a MIP model is formulated to assign quay cranes to vessels while in the second phase, dynamic programming is used to determine the specific quay cranes to serve each vessel. The validity of the proposed approach is demonstrated by a comparison against a case study from literature. Moreover, the results show that the shortage in the required number of internal trucks increases the average handling time per vessel.","PeriodicalId":318405,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127883961","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}

However, in many real-world system configurations do not allow the system failure immediately when a fault or component failure occurs, rather its reliability falls down at a faster rate, and soon the system fails prematurely. If the fault is rectified or the failed item is repaired within a specified time limit, system reliability curve is restored to its normal decreasing trend. The time gap, between the failure of a component or occurrence of a fault and the repair of the component or rectification of a fault so that no system failure, is observed and it is very important that the system reliability decreases at its normal rate. This allowable time gap can serve a guiding tool to the maintenance policy and management decisions. This paper proposes a reliability and maintainability based approach for calculating the grace period, commonly known as the tolerable repair time of a system component. The proposed model has been demonstrated for a belt conveyor system, used for transportation of mineral in the mines. The allowable repair time of the idler of the belt conveyor system was calculated using the cumulative failure distribution function.","PeriodicalId":318405,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127977841","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}

Despite the progress of this reconstructive treatment, there are still some limitations. Both, the inflation protocol and the filling volume vary for every patient. The aim of this paper is to present a first attempt of a sensor featured tissue expander. This so-called instrumented tissue expander provides the treating surgeon a sensory feedback to enhance a successful treatment. The implementation of a pressure sensor enables the display of both, the current expander pressure and the pressure over time. Based on the progress of the pressure curve, the inflation time points are triggered. The skin growth is maximized and adjustable to each individual patient. This new way of tissue expansion is simulated with a finite element model. The skin growth is implemented as a strain-driven process. In addition, a first feasibility prototype is built. Based on the pressure-time diagram the condition of the skin can be deduced from the first derivative. Additionally the user is always enabled to observe or rather check the current pressure inside the tissue expander. Moreover, the risk of necrosis or pressure-induced ischemia is minimized. Thanks to the technical data the treatment is simplified for less experienced surgeons. Experienced doctors can train less experienced surgeons by monitoring and comparing both the appearance of the skin and the pressure data.","PeriodicalId":318405,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130701900","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}

When estimating a residual technical life statistically, a big amount of tribo-diagnostic data is used. Data includes the information about particles contained in oil which testify to oil condition as well as system condition. We focus on the particles which we consider to be interesting. They are Ferrum (Fe) and Lead (Pb). By modelling the occurrence of particles in oil we expect to determine the adequate moment to perform preventive maintenance and the length of residual system useful life. The way of modelling is based on the specific characteristics of diffusion processes, namely the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Following the modelling results we could set the principles of \"CBM - Condition Based Maintenance\".
