Estimating Optimum Period of Time Between Maintenances by Using Monte Carlo Simulation Method

Faek Lateef Saleh

Pages: 226-240

PDF Full Text
Abstract

This work aims to increase the availability of steam generation plant through modifying boiler maintenance plan by determining the optimum period of time between maintenances to achieve maximum availability via simulation approach. Applying simulation approach is an attempt to determine the optimum period of time between schedule maintenances to achieve maximum boiler availability. Therefore, PC program in visual basic language is designed as a tool to the implementation of availability simulation approach. It notes that the boiler availability is increased by (6.9%) in changing the optimum time between scheduled maintenances and inspection to be seven months rather than one year

Abstract

ORE addresses various kinds of losses associated with manufacturing system which can be targeted for initiating improvements. Evaluating ORE will is helpful to the decision maker(s) for further analysis and continually improves the performance of the resources. Overall Resource Effectiveness (ORE) encompasses seven factors are; performance, quality rate, readiness, changeover efficiency, availability of material and availability of manpower. In this research Job shop production of General Company for hydraulic industries, with focus on Damper and Tasks Factory (DTF)is tested as a case study for two of the most customer demand rear dampers (Samaned and Nissan). Data are collected and analyzed for years 2016-2017 to evaluate of ORE values. Results show that process performance factor among other seven factors have the less value causing the highest loss in ORE decrease. Where the highest ORE value is (58.6%) for Nissan and (69.3) for Samaned rare production. Also, time loss due to set up time is detected where it ranges from 3% to about 13% per month for the above mentioned two tested dampers. Results are generated employing Minitab Version 17, Quality Companion Version 3 soft wares. It is recommended to introduce SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Dies) concept that could decrease losses in set up time .Also improvements in maintenance programs are vital, and above all improving process performance values is essential by employing lean manufacturing that result in fast outcomes ,and TQM process improvement strategy for long term outcomes these two process performance strategies may enhance ORE values therefore, decrease losses, and consequently increase quality and productivity.

Hydraulic Analysis study and redesign of the water distribution system simulation using GIS- EPANET, case study: Laylan sub-district, Kirkuk city, Iraq

Abstract

This research project focused on examining and (rehabilitation) redesigning water networks in a city using the GIS-EPANET program in hydraulic network analysis. Due to the availability of outline data about the study area from the municipality's water distribution system (WDS), this study dealt with four cases. From a statistical calculation, the last case was best optimized, which resulted in a high pressure and an acceptable velocity as a result of high mean pressure (13.58) m, logical mean velocity (0.43) m/s, and accurate standard deviations of 1.214 and 0.48 for pressure and velocity, respectively. The study found that the network had a shortfall in pressure, estimated at 40%, due to the lack of expansion to accommodate the growing population. However, after conducting the analysis and identifying the problem, it was found that all regions were receiving adequate amounts of water. Nevertheless, the water speed in the pipelines throughout the network was deficient, below the recommended rate, with a minimum velocity of 0.02 m/s in the pipe (p3) but a minimum pressure of 7.02 m at the junction (607), indicating that the network design was ineffective. Comparing the results obtained with the real-world situation, it was discovered that the network has many violations and disruptions, causing water loss and resulting in low pressure reaching the customers. While the study found that the pressure inside the network was within acceptable modeling limits of (7–12) m, there was a reduction in the pressure charge due to the frequent use of water pumps inside the houses, especially as the circulated area was pumped further away. The error between the model and the real problem may be attributed to water leaks and disruptions from trees, gardens, landscaping, and livestock grazing, as well as the absence of a counter to calculate the water discharge volume to consumers

The Optimum Priorities In Improving The Infrastructure Of Al-Anbar Governorate Road Network Using R.S. Data, GIS And Graph Theory

Majid Sabbar M. al-Shuqairy

Pages: 281-299

PDF Full Text
Abstract

The status of the infrastructure of the transport system and then mobility in the governorate of Anbar is deplorable. Therefore, it requires two types of solutions in two phases. This study concerned with the first phase, which is represented by solving the problem of the inadequacy infrastructure in terms of availability between the cities, and work to develop it toward being maximally connected. So, generally speaking this study aimed to facilitate mobility through this network, by improving the accessibility in term of connectivity. The analysis process in this study, have twin objectives: first, to determine how much new linkages we need for our network to be maximally connected as a first stage? Second, Building a legislative framework lends the weight for decision makers in transport agency to take tough decision built up on ranking the new proposed linkages according to their relative values in providing access to the network, and the increment in comparable nodal accessibility due to the new additions. So, there is need for more sensible decisions based on more accurate analysis for deciding the optimum priorities for the new linkages to take place in the stage of development implementation via legislative framework. Therefore, the analysis will deal with topological characteristics for a number of aspects by expressing the simple graph of the network in a matrix format. These aspects are simulated and measured through the matrices powering process and the principles of graph theory. However, in addition to reducing the time the vehicles stays on the road, the study results will assist to divert a large proportion of the traffic volumes concurrently with the implementation process, and this in turn will pave the way to precede the solution of the second phase inside the cities. Not to mention, the legislative framework will bases for the financial framework of the transport agency. Keywords: infrastructure inadequacy& development, accessibility and connectivity, graph theory, matrix representation &powering, new linkage, nodal accessibility , relative value ,optimum priorities (ranking) and Decision making(legislation).

Abstract

The world is moving now to the energy of water to generate electric power and too much on several considerations, most important is that this energy is a clean and renewable energies as well as reasonably available. So we are going to create a small hydro power stations with limited power can be linked via the national grid or the completion of feeding limited areas to ease the load on the national network in addition to low cost of establishment and the costs of power processed. And now that we need t this specification at this stage and the availability of waterways and weirs in the governorate of AL-anbar has been building this research. We have in this search by selecting the barrage of Fallujah for the establishment of a hydroelectric plant it was a survey of geographical and engineering on the site of this barrage was recorded the water levels over the full year and found that the height of the water in which at least 3.5 meters, so the choice of equipment needed to build a hydroelectric plant with capacity of (140) KW aided with catalogues of well known international companies and accredited globally.
