Book Description
Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - General, grade: 62/100, University of Lincoln, course: Engineering Management, language: English, abstract: The objective of this report is to present the issues related to successive equipment/machine failure within a Biorefinery industry in Angola. This work presents several complex problem-solving techniques that could be fully applied to the situation that enable the Planning and Control Maintenance (PC&M) department to interpret the information from large datasets from the machineries. The combination of models and techniques allowed the team involved in the problem solving process to identify three preferred potential solutions related to equipment/machine failure. Through further analysis using the Plus/Minus/Interesting and Force Field Analysis it was possible to narrow these down to a single solution. The preferred solution was chosen by carrying out a comparative analysis and the weighted score indicated the suitability of the solution for the given scenario of the complex problem. Knowing that solution implementation is not readily accepted automatically, a PPA (Potential Problem Analysis) was presented in order to alleviate the risk of new problems occurring during the implementation of the chosen solution process. The implementation plan took into consideration the budget, the time and possible project cost escalation. The recommendations that will be presented include stringent requirements for getting budget approval in order to expedite contractual agreements IoT (Internet of Things) providers, AI (Artificial Intelligence) companies and Outsource Expertise. It is suggested that if all of the requirements are met then the successive machine breakdown rate would achieve considerably low rates.

TRIZ for Engineers: Enabling Inventive Problem Solving
Author: Karen Gadd
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470741880
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 517
Book Description
TRIZ is a brilliant toolkit for nurturing engineering creativity and innovation. This accessible, colourful and practical guide has been developed from problem-solving workshops run by Oxford Creativity, one of the world's top TRIZ training organizations started by Gadd in 1998. Gadd has successfully introduced TRIZ to many major organisations such as Airbus, Sellafield Sites, Saint-Gobain, DCA, Doosan Babcock, Kraft, Qinetiq, Trelleborg, Rolls Royce and BAE Systems, working on diverse major projects including next generation submarines, chocolate packaging, nuclear clean-up, sustainability and cost reduction. Engineering companies are increasingly recognising and acting upon the need to encourage successful, practical and systematic innovation at every stage of the engineering process including product development and design. TRIZ enables greater clarity of thought and taps into the creativity innate in all of us, transforming random, ineffective brainstorming into targeted, audited, creative sessions focussed on the problem at hand and unlocking the engineers' knowledge and genius to identify all the relevant solutions. For good design engineers and technical directors across all industries, as well as students of engineering, entrepreneurship and innovation, TRIZ for Engineers will help unlock and realise the potential of TRIZ. The individual tools are straightforward, the problem-solving process is systematic and repeatable, and the results will speak for themselves. This highly innovative book: Satisfies the need for concise, clearly presented information together with practical advice on TRIZ and problem solving algorithms Employs explanatory techniques, processes and examples that have been used to train thousands of engineers to use TRIZ successfully Contains real, relevant and recent case studies from major blue chip companies Is illustrated throughout with specially commissioned full-colour cartoons that illustrate the various concepts and techniques and bring the theory to life Turns good engineers into great engineers.

Self-Help in Mental Health
Author: T. Mark Harwood
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1441910999
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Self-help is big business, but alas not a scienti c business. The estimated 10 billion—that’s with a “b”—spent each year on self-help in the United States is rarely guided by research or monitored by mental health professionals. Instead, marketing and metaphysics triumph. The more outrageous the “miraculous cure” and the “r- olutionary secret,” the better the sales. Of the 3,000 plus self-help books published each year, only a dozen contain controlled research documenting their effectiveness as stand-alone self-help. Of the 20,000 plus psychological and relationship web sites available on the Internet, only a couple hundred meet professional standards for accuracy and balance. Most, in fact, sell a commercial product. Pity the layperson, or for that matter, the practitioner, trying to navigate the self-help morass. We are bombarded with thousands of potential resources and c- tradictory advice. Should we seek wisdom in a self-help book, an online site, a 12-step group, an engaging autobiography, a treatment manual, an inspiring movie, or distance writing? Should we just do it, or just say no? Work toward change or accept what is? Love your inner child or grow out of your Peter Pan? I become confused and discouraged just contemplating the choices.

Applied Wavelet Analysis with S-PLUS
Author: Andrew Bruce
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9780387947143
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
Using a visual data analysis approach, wavelet concepts are explained in a way that is intuitive and easy to understand. Furthermore, in addition to wavelets, a whole range of related signal processing techniques such as wavelet packets, local cosine analysis, and matching pursuits are covered, and applications of wavelet analysis are illustrated -including nonparametric function estimation, digital image compression, and time-frequency signal analysis. This book and software package is intended for a broad range of data analysts, scientists, and engineers. While most textbooks on the subject presuppose advanced training in mathematics, this book merely requires that readers be familiar with calculus and linear algebra at the undergraduate level.
