Literacy, new capitalism, and new work orders: Case studies from school-to-work education
… for independent critical thinking on the part of workers. The two school-to-work programs included in the dissertation are biotechnology and nursing. Both were sited in a two-year urban community college and both had the characteristics mentioned above. However they also provided a contrast it two …

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 …

A mathematical programming based model and algorithm for a two stage production process
… model and algorithm to allocate and sequence work orders in order to improve the plant's productivity and reduce the labor and material costs. The proposed algorithm is based on Lagrangian Relaxation and Benders' decomposition techniques, which exploit the inherent generalized assignment and …

Study and analysis of value stream for Yesco production
… a current state value stream map for different work orders from the time the work order is distributed by the department of layout to the time the finished product is ready to crate. Also, we will analyze production sequences, cycle time, labor time, lead-time and down time for each step of the …

An exploratory investigation of the facility maintenance program at Sterling Regional High School
… regarding the program. A random sample of 100 work orders was analyzed to determine repair time, cost per repair, and percentage of return repairs for each of six maintenance categories, including electrical, plumbing, heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC), fire alarms, other mechanical, …

Developing an improved production planning method for a machining cell using an active-nondelay hybrid scheduling technique
… required data collected. In Microsoft Project, work orders were scheduled using an active-nondelay hybrid scheduling technique. This technique resulted in short makespan with high machine utilization, low average waiting time, and low WIP. Simulated manufacturing lead times were also reduced to …

User-centered automation process in synthetic biology research
… researchers cannot trust the quality of robot's work even though they do not know the actual success rate of the robotics work and what the robot can do. To bridge the gap for making the automation process more accessible, this research is proposing the use of "Bot", a software robot with which …

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 …

Predicting and Preventing Unsafe Events at an Enterprise
… operations, has undesirable incidents. Corporate workers trip and fall. Contractors get cuts that require first aid. Shop floor operators can be injured by automated equipment, and so on. Seeking to become a leader in environmental health and safety, more so than avoiding painful costs related to …

Work Order and Subassembly Identification and Tracking System
… in this thesis includes the development of a work order and subassembly identification and tracking software system created in-house and tested at SPM Automation (Canada) Inc. The research is motivated by the significant losses the company is enduring and the recurring problems occurring at …

Improvement of Work Process Performance with Task Assignments and Mental Workload Balancing
<p>The outcome of a work process depends heavily on which tasks assigned to which employees. However, sometimes-optimized assignments based on employees’ qualifications may result in an uneven and ineffective workload distribution among them. Likewise, an even workload distribution without …

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 …
