InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractExamination of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in Term of Maynard's Operation Sequence Technique (MOST)Puvanasvaran A. Perumal, Ito Teruaki, Teoh Yong Siang, Yoong Sai SiengIt is a common practice to quantify any process or entire production line in manufacturing industry especially to measure three main losses named time losses, performance losses and quality defect exist in production. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) fulfils the requirement by providing the measure of equipment via single measure which is monitored from time to time by responsible personnel so … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 15 Nov 2016 · 8,010 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRice Grain Moisture Determination Using Microstrip Wide-Ring and Microstrip Coupled-Line SensorsHou Kit Mun, Kok Yeow You, Mohamad Ngasri DimonDetermining the Moisture Content (MC) inside rice grain is an important element for grain processesing such as harvesting, storage, quality control and transportation. A microstrip wide-ring sensor and a microstrip coupled-line sensor with low insertion loss were developed to operate at relatively low frequency to determine the MC and relative complex permittivity of rice grain. The complex permittivity for rice … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2015 · 7,438 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnt Colony Optimization for Capacitated Vehicle Routing ProblemW. F. Tan, L. S. Lee, Z. A. Majid, H. V. SeowProblem statement: The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem which is concerned with the distribution of goods between the depot and customers. It is of economic importance to businesses as approximately 10-20% of the final cost of the goods is contributed by the transportation process. Approach: This problem was tackled using an Ant Colony Optimization … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 15 Mar 2012 · 10,043 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntelligent Estimation of Compressive Strength of the Pavement Layers Stabilized by the Combination of Bitumen Emulsion and CementMehrdad Aryafar, Abdoul R. Ghotbi, Mehdi Aryafar, Amin AvaeiThe Application of the different types of additive materials such as lime, cement bitumen and the combination of them are considered as a main issue by the relating experts. In order to promote the bearing capacity of road, these materials, individually, or with the attendance of other materials add to sub base layers. During the recent years, road builders have … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,082 accessesView PDF Cite
