This paper aims to incorporate systems engineering thinking into the management of engineering services. An overview of Singapore service sector is provided and it shows that management of engineering services for commercial buildings and public transport, which has important socio-economic implications could be area where the concept of systems engineering services (SES) could present potential research...
This paper presents a novel and practical approach for integrating simulation and optimization of system dynamics (SD) models using Matlab and Simulink. The Matlab platform allows much freedom in customizing and implementing global search techniques such as genetic algorithms (GA) and artificial intelligence constructs like fuzzy logic. The Simulink platform allows complex nonlinear dynamic models...
The conventional calendar-based mean cumulative function (MCF) plot is useful in monitoring the field reliability of a population of repairable systems deployed in a large quantity. It is simple and easily understood by management. However, it is age-confounded when the system population is heterogeneous with age. Assuming that the systems follow the well-known ldquoBathtubrdquo behavior, the population...
Facilities Management (FM) has evolved as a profession and academic interest over recent years. FM covers a wide spectrum of functions with the maintenance and operations task consuming the bulk of FM budget. A brief overview of FM is provided to highlight its increasing importance. This paper describes a systematic approach of conducting facilities audit; SPRINT. This approach enables management...
