Reliability Models of Complex Systems for Robots and Automation by Hamid Fazlollahtabar; Seyed Taghi Akhavan Niaki
ISBN: 9781138569638
Publication Date: 2018-01-16
As complex systems have become global and essential in today's society, their reliable design and the determination of their availability have turned into a very important task for managers and engineers. Reliability Models of Complex Systems for Robots and Automation offers different models and approaches for reliability evaluation and optimization of a complex autonomous system. Comprehensive fault tree analysis on the critical components of industrial robots and its integration with the reliability block diagram approach is designed in order to investigate the robot system reliability.
Advanced Maintenance Modelling for Asset Management by Adolfo Crespo Márquez (Editor); Vicente González-Prida Díaz (Editor); Juan Francisco Gómez Fernández (Editor)
ISBN: 3319580442
Publication Date: 2017-07-21
This book promotes and describes the application of objective and effective decision making in asset management based on mathematical models and practical techniques that can be easily implemented in organizations.
How to Do Systems Analysis by John E. Gibson; William T. Scherer; William F. Gibson; Michael C. Smith
ISBN: 1119179599
Publication Date: 2016-07-05
Presents the foundational systemic thinking needed to conceive systems that address complex socio-technical problems This book emphasizes the underlying systems analysis components and associated thought processes. The authors describe an approach that is appropriate for complex systems in diverse disciplines complemented by a case-based pedagogy for teaching systems analysis that includes numerous cases that can be used to teach both the art and methods of systems analysis.
Aviation Logistics by Michael Sales
ISBN: 0749472707
Publication Date: 2016-02-28
Aviation Logistics looks at the function of the air cargo business and its role in global supply chains and logistics. As global economies are constantly evolving, the supply chain business with its transport partners must be proactive for the future. Technology and its resulting efficiency and transparency are therefore a central part of this book. Aviation Logistics examines how carriers are coming up with new methods and technologies to improve ground handling and road transport, traceability systems and barcoding, security and screening, and safe delivery of perishable items (such as in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors).
