Task 1: As a maintenance manager at a plant, you are required to update the existing maintenance plan for one of the critical plant's systems. This entails defining economical and technically practical maintenance interventions while considering a high level of safety. What are the potential approaches for maintenance interventions that could be included in the current maintenance plan? Provide definitions for each of them, outline their advantages and disadvantages, and support them with real-life examples. - State two potential maintenance decision-making strategies you could adopt and clarify their steps and logic of implementation. Introduce and explain the concept of Prognostics and Health Management (PHM). Describe what PHM entails, as well as its benefits and expectations. - Explain how the frequency of planned maintenance interventions can impact production and costs for a specific component. Clarify the process for selecting the best maintenance intervention approach for that…

Quality has been defined as customer satisfaction (or "fitness for use"). Quality can also be defined as "conformance to specifications". In theory, if you create the right specifications and then manufacture a product that meets these specifications, you should achieve customer satisfaction.  Consider the following four scenarios for a particular product: A) Conforms to specifications and is competitive in its adequacy.   B) Conforms to specifications and is not competitive in its suitability.    C) It does not conform to specifications and is competitive in its education.   D) Does not conform to specifications and is not competitive in its education.   Which of these are not, in theory, feasible, but in practice occur and cause a lot of conceptual confusion?  Can you cite some examples?

P Flag question The following method conduct a brainstorming session to understand the likelihood of future events and impact they may have on project Select one: Delphi Technique O b. Time series models O C. Causal models O d. Market Research

Case Study – The New Engineer   Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator.  This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree.  He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.   Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace.  They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time.  They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.   As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor.  He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum.  They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin.  They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.   In talking with the workers, Jeff learns of some of…

25. A defense department assigned its highest priority to develop an advanced aircraft using materials not previously used and untested technologies. A firm fixed-price contract was awarded to a qualified vendor. Controls were in place at all levels, and progress reports—noting challenges—were sent to top officials. Top officials reported that progress was excellent, but the project failed due to enormous expenditures with no aircraft developed. Which risks were not adequately considered? I. Because the requirements were not specific, the use of a firm fixed-price contract made the project risky. II. The personnel at many levels sent false reports forward on cost incurred and progress made. III. The contractor lacked adequate technical skills to deal with technology that was still evolving. IV. Top procurement officials did not act on “red flags” due to a “can do” mentality on a high priority of the program.   Group of answer choices I and IV only I only II and III only None…

Directions: Answer the questions after each situation. 1. David Aquino, engineering director, started out the day uptight. His young child had the flu the night before, and he had been up all night to help. Upon arrival at his office, David had to make urgent phone calls to approve a two-week overtime work plan due to a plant fire the night before and to plan for a product committee meeting the next day to counter environmental concerns about a wastewater treatment plant. Then he spent 30 minutes reviewing the qualifications of new candidates and decided on one. He asked for salary information and wanted to examine the offer before it was sent. He asked for further justification for the budget requested by industrial engineering for a minicomputer. Without reading it, he approved the research proposal from material engineering. He rejected an invitation to speak at a regional meeting of the Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers by giving an untrue reason. David made a note for the…
