The improvement of quality management system in a porcelain factory
2019
According to SR EN ISO 9000:2015, quality management system can be considered “a set of Policies, Procedures, Processes and resources used to achieve the organization objectives and desired results, by manages the interacting processes, resources required and inter-related parts of the business”. The requirements of a quality management system that need to be implemented by companies in order to produce high quality products and to achieve continual improvement are described in ISO 9001. The aim of this research is to improve the quality management system implemented in a porcelain factory, named S.C. APULUM S.A. The implementation of ISO 9001:2015 in the organization involves monitoring pr…
Continuous improvement of the quality management system within an automotion company in Romania
2021
Abstract In this article, the authors present a case study on the methodology used in the process of continuous improvement of the performance of the quality management system, carried out in a company belonging to the field of production of devices and automation systems. To start this process, the internal audit subsystem and the analysis process performed by the management were first streamlined. In order to improve the non-compliant processes, within the quality management system an improvement strategy was established based on the stages of the 6 sigma methodology, namely the DMAIC model. Following the application of the methodology proposed by the authors, improvements of the processe…
El uso de las cartas de servicio en la administración local: el caso del Ayuntamiento de Torrent
2016
Public Administrations have suffered a sort of changes based in changing context and uncertainty. So, traditional Weberian bureaucracy has been adapting itself, embracing new values and tools. In this way, the City Hall of Torrent has developed the strategy called Torrent INNOVA. It was framed inside a quality management system named EVAM framework. Thereby, citizen’s charts are an important instrument in order to manage local context and apply new public administrative innovations.
A fact-finding investigation on Sicilian wine firms attitude towards third party voluntary certifications: motivations and alternative impact assessm…
2015
In the last few decades an increasing emphasis of public and private organization on quality and safety control, on traceability of food products and on environmental issues, has been registered. Mandatory public standards and private voluntary today drive this process in order to assure food safety and traceability standards. The aim of this work is to analyze the main reasons that drives some Sicilian wineries in the adoption of quality voluntary standards, and comparing their economic attitudes and performance with those firms not certified. Results show a very similar performance patterns among the two groups of firms, highlighting a series of differences that are not directly attributa…
Quality System for Production Software as Tool for Monitoring and Improving Organization KPIs
2013
In this paper we propose a solution as support for quality systems for production software. The motivation behind this study was to reduce that cost in the production area caused by gaps in the quality of the production software. Our proposal: QSPS (Quality System for Production Software) is offering support in the "vulnerable points" of these quality systems which usually generate nonconformities and have proved to be difficult or impossible to control. QSPS is a method in seven steps or modules that integrates also software tools, templates, checklists, evaluating tools elaborated complying to products, process and system quality standards. If other analyzed methods like: Scrum, XP, Fuzzy…
Active queue management stability in multiple bottleneck networks
2004
In this paper, we show that the active queue management (AQM) controllers, usually configured on a single bottleneck basis, may not prevent instability in the presence of multiple bottlenecks. We justify this result through a multiple bottleneck model.
A Real time locating system for local fleet management
2006
Abstract Local locating systems are necessary where a big number of units are handled. In this case, we propose a management system for parking spaces for vehicles that are distributed among eight different-sized lots on a 1.8 million square meter premises. In order to quickly locate each particular vehicle in this area, a new real time location system (RTLS) has been successfully installed. The vehicle location system Moby-R automatically monitors every vehicle movement and tracks its current parked position. All the vehicles are given a data carrier which is attached to the inside rear-view mirror with a special hanger, precisely locating the vehicle within approximately five meters
Integrated Production and Predictive Maintenance Planning based on Prognostic Information
2019
International audience; This paper address the problem of scheduling production and maintenance operation in predictive maintenance context. It proposes a contribution in the decision making phase of the prognostic and health management framework. Theprognostics and decision processes are merged and an ant colony optimization approach for finding the sequence of decisions that optimizes the benefits of a production system is developed. A case study on a single machine composed of several components where machine can have several usage profiles. The results show thatour approach surpasses classical condition based maintenance policy.
ANN modelling of CO2 refrigerant cooling system COP in a smart warehouse
2020
Author's accepted manuscript Industrial cooling systems consume large quantities of energy with highly variable power demand. To reduce environmental impact and overall energy consumption, and to stabilize the power requirements, it is recommended to recover surplus heat, store energy, and integrate renewable energy production. To control these operations continuously in a complex energy system, an intelligent energy management system can be employed using operational data and machine learning. In this work, we have developed an artificial neural network based technique for modelling operational CO2 refrigerant based industrial cooling systems for embedding in an overall energy management s…
La sicurezza del paziente in ambiente ospedaliero e la responsabilità professionale dei vertici strategici
2016
[Patient safety in the hospital setting and the professional responsibilities of top managers] The authors underline the evolution of legislation concerning the creation of Hospital Companies and the reasons for the implementation of clinical risk management activities, then analyse the responsibilities involving the top figures of the top hospital management. In particular, the authors highlight the obligation and responsibilities of the strategic apex of a Hospital Company and show that, sometimes, the technical consultants – who express a medical-legal advice – underestimate the responsibility of these figures. It is a management responsibility that determines the obvious and inevitable …
