With advances in mobile technology, the ability to get real-time geographically accurate data, including photos and videos, becomes integrated into daily activities. Businesses use this technology edge to stay ahead of their competitors. Social media has made photo and video sharing a widely accepted and adopted behavior. This real-time data and information exchange, crowdsourcing, can be used to...
In present times software reengineering has become an important domain of research to increase the shelf life of legacy system. The major objective for reengineering revolves around reducing the cost of investment in Information Technology (IT) infrastructure by reducing the maintenance cost and capitalizing on the current existing IT infrastructure. This can be achieved by making it more adaptable...
The performance of electrical systems depends on, among other things, the type and quality of maintenance and the safe operation of the equipment. It is necessary to evaluate the quality of the maintenance and safety procedures utilized within the safe work practice program. The paper advises the use of external auditing of electrical systems and maintenance programs for the advantages it brings to...
In recent decades, companies across the world have implemented enterprise recourse planning (ERP) systems. Proper ERP implementation has been a more explored issue. Specifically, numerous papers have presented the critical success factors in these projects. But even when the implementation finished satisfactorily, success in ERP adoption is not guaranteed. It also depends on the effectiveness process...
Presented article deals with implamention of CAFM (computer aided facility management) software and its impact on company boundary processes strengthening, thus efficiency improvement. First, theoretically introduces the reader into the problematic of facility management and its place in a company. Next various types of CAFM are presented. Final part of the article focuses on economic evaluation of...
Proactive maintenance improves the operational availability of a system and increases the owner's profit. To create more economic value along this direction, it is popular to outsource maintenance services to a service agent. However, due to various uncertainties in equipment failures and spare part logistics, making a service agreement between the owner and the service agent can be quite complex...
In several countries, electrical power distribution companies are in an environment controlled by government regulatory agencies. Various performance indicators were developed with the aim of ensuring the quality of service which is monitored by regulatory agencies. The profitability of companies is directly related to such goals. Two relevant distribution reliability indices that measure the duration...
In a telecommunications network architecture, BTS holds a very important role. In the event that causes disruption of BTS and BTS to be down, it will result in loss of potential revenue and lead to loss of consumer loyalty in the company. Hence the need for an effective method of treatment BTS and BTS efficient so that availability can be maintained properly. The method used in the treatment of BTS...
The link between maintenance and product quality, as well as the high cost of software maintenance, highlights the importance of efficient maintenance processes. Sustaining maintenance work efficiency in a global software development setting that involves a transfer is a challenging endeavor. Studies report on the negative effect of transfers on efficiency. However, empirical evidence on the magnitude...
Software is a generic term for organized collections of computer data and instructions; it is amalgamation of machine understandable instructions that preside over the processor of computer to perform itemized operations. The importance of software accompanies the effect of its malleability towards software development life cycle. Antecedent models such as Prototyping model, Incremental model, waterfall...
Statistical analysis of inventory data has been widely used to investigate the behavior of demand, the order execution and the delivery data in business industry. The analysis benefits the supplier in many ways. This study focuses on statistical analysis of spare part management of Water Purifier's electronic modules. The challenge of this demand prediction is that the electronic modules have random...
Metrics and especially metric-based monitoring dashboards provide valuable information and insights for managers in software development organizations. However, implementing and launching a company wide metrics program is very hard and time consuming. This paper describes the history and our experience with the development of a metrics program at Generali Deutschland Informatik Services, a CMMI level...
The role of maintenance in manufacturing has become more crucial and important in today's competitive environment. It is estimated that maintenance cost contributed approximately 10–30 percent of total operation cost. In order to stay competitive, manufacturing companies are forced to introduce production improvement programs to increase both quality and productivity. Total productive maintenance...
Factories world-wide do not utilize their existing capacity to a satisfactory level. Several studies indicate an average Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) of around 55% in manufacturing industry. One major reason is machine downtime leading to substantial system losses culminating in production plans with unsatisfactory robustness. This paper discusses an approach to integrate maintenance strategies...
Server Virtualisation (SV) can improve the application efficiency of network sever resources, reduce the investment of hardware and less the cost of maintenance. This paper analyses that five key factors that are hardware cost, energy cost, software cost, maintenance cost and outage (or downtime) recovery cost in the Server Virtualisation. There a sample case is an university or a company what its...
Measuring Security is a clear need widely spread in the field of Cyber Security. It is part of the standardized risk management, such as ISO 27001, and it is an essential tool in the PDCA cycle of continuous improvement.
The Car Sharing (CS) systems are promising services that are complementary to the traditional public transport forms and ensure a good level of flexibility and comfort. However, in order to make such systems efficient and competitive, suitable planning and management strategies are required. In this paper we deal with a crucial problem of the CS system management: the vehicle relocation problem. In...
In this paper, we explore the characteristics of change categories in three evolving web systems. We examine those changes from the perspectives of three maintenance categories (adaptive, corrective and perfective) and the influence of a ‘ripple’ effect as a result of those changes. All three systems were developed by a software development company based in London. Results showed that the ripple effect...
The deployment and the execution of applications on dynamic Cloud infrastructures introduces new requirements of adaptability with respect to monitoring. Specifically, the governance of service choreographies enacted over Cloud-based solutions relies on the observation and analysis of events happening at different abstraction layers. Adaptability requirements are even more evident when monitoring...
Evaluation of software maintenance tasks can significantly contribute to the efficiency of maintenance management, which is recognized as the most costly part of the software life cycle. This paper presents an approach to evaluation of software maintenance tasks based on fuzzy screening. The construction of data set for the case study is based on the real data extracted from the maintenance repository...
