Work Order Prioritization Using Neural Networks to Improve Building Operation
… facilities. Processing and prioritizing work orders constitute a big part of facility management, given the large number of work orders submitted daily. Current practices for prioritizing work orders are mainly user-driven and lack consistency in collecting, processing, and managing a …

Enabling Actionable Maintenance Analytics with Ontology-driven Natural Language Processing
… equipment issues before they arise. Maintenance work orders (MWOs) are essential tools for planning, scheduling, and tracking maintenance tasks. Although MWOs contain explicit ontologies with structured fields for information like costs, identifiers, and dates, valuable maintenance details are …

Improving Operational Efficiency of a Small Manufacturing Maintenance Organization
… to measure results, but there is little prior work on how to accomplish more maintenance work overall with the same resources and reduce maintenance wastes. We develop a framework for conceptualizing maintenance operational efficiency as a complement to maintenance strategy, focusing on the …

Integrating perceptual, semantic and syntactic information in sentence production
The experimental work and the theoretical model presented in this thesis explore the behaviour of the sentence production system in perceptually, conceptually, and syntactically changing environments across languages. Nine experiments examine how speakers of different languages integrate available …

Lean principle application in an automotive product development process with special emphasis on peer reviews
… process. The analysis is performed using a work order data set for two automotive development programs. Score cards from Peer Review and a survey of the component engineering community are also used to assess the effectiveness and current state of the peer review process. The study found …

Controlling nonpoint pollution in Virginia's urbanizing areas: an institutional perspective
… the effectiveness of the institutional framework of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the implementation and enforcement of nonpoint source (NPS) pollution control measures in the state's urbanizing areas. The institutional framework is developed primarily around the existing governmental …

A Mathematical Programming Based Procedure for the Scheduling of Lots in a Wafer Fab
… such that the total tardiness of the product orders is minimized over the planning horizon. Second, the schedule of these lots is determined so that the cycle time of each lot released into the system is minimized. Thus, the performance measures based both on due dates and cycle time are …

PERCEIVED VALUE OF BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING IN FACILITIES OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
… BIM frequently to access O&M information, the work order process work flow can be reduced by twenty five percent and the response time to unscheduled work orders can be reduced by using BIM. Most respondents perceived improved accessibility to O&M information is the best benefit of using BIM …

New work practices, new literacies and new identities : a shift towards a "new work culture" in a soft drinks factory in Maputo
This thesis resulted from a study of the work practices and literacy practices performed by the front-line workers of a soft drinks factory in Maputo province, in Mozambique. The purpose of this study was to (1) identify the literacy practices attached to the work among the front-line workers on …

Synchronization-avoiding graph algorithms and runtime aspects
… to eliminate barriers, we design and study unordered, data-driven graph algorithms, relying on optimistic (speculative) execution. Our design of algorithms allows work to be performed in any order, refining the result as the algorithm progresses. This flexibility in ordering facilitates …

Reducing reworkable discrepancies through standard work for writing inspection instructions and data distribution
… that can be corrected on the line are called reworkable discrepancies. Because hundreds of reworkable discrepancies can occur on each aircraft it is a huge opportunity for improvement and cost reduction. It would be impossible to analyze each one that occurs on the line. However, last year at X …
