Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTHE APPLICATION OF LIFE CYCLE COST (LCC) APPROACH TO QUALITY FOOD PRODUCTION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS IN THE PARMA PDO HAM SECTORMattia Iotti, Giuseppe BonazziIn the international literature, the subject of the analysis of the cost of production is often confined to the analysis of short-term convenience. However, the quantification of the cost of production per unit of product has a particular importance in the processing enterprises, especially in the initial phase of choice that concerns realization of investments in facilities and technologies to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 5 Jul 2014 · 9,970 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF A SINGLE UNIT SYSTEM WITH SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND VARIATION IN DEMANDGulshan Taneja, Reetu MalhotraThe present paper analyses the reliability and cost-benefit for a single unit system with scheduled maintenance and variation in demand. As Change in demand affects the production of system also, hence sometimes, the system needs to be shut down when the number of produces are in excess as compared to those demanded. Revenue in case of both types of up … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 May 2013 · 7,197 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCost Analysis of a Two Dissimilar-Unit Cold Standby Redundant System Subject to Inspection and Random Change in UnitsG. S. Mokaddis, C. H. MattaProblem statement: This study deled with the cost analysis of a two dissimilar unit cold standby redundant system subject to inspection and random change in units. In this system each unit works in two different modes normal and total failure. Assuming that the failure, repair, post repair, interchange of units and inspection times are stochastically independent random variables each having … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,298 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Cost-Benefit Analysis of the Legalization of an Informal Health SectorRoger Lee MendozaProblem statement: The Philippines--a developing Southeast Asian country--exemplifies the co-existence of Western-oriented, medical science and indigenous, non-allopathic practices collectively known as Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). The purpose of this study is to determine why and how the economics and politics of CAM’s integration with biomedical science could impede the achievement of health care redistribution in developing countries like the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,019 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCost Analysis of a System Involving Common-Cause Failures and Preventive MaintenanceM.Y. HaggagProblem statement: Many authors have studied the cost analysis of a two-unit cold standby redundant system with two types of unit failure, but no attention was paid to the reliability of a system involving common-cause failures and preventive maintenance. Question was raised whether the preventive maintenance would be effective on the reliability and performance of the system. Determine the efficacy … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,606 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCost Analysis of A System with Preventive Maintenance by Using the Kolmogorov’s Forward Equations MethodKhaled Moh. El-SaidThis study deals with cost analysis of a two- unit cold standby redundant system with preventive maintenance.The random failure occurs at random times which follow an exponential distribution and also the repair time are assumed to be exponentially distributed. Using the Kolmogorov’s forward equations method. Several reliability characteristics are obtained. The mean time to system failure (MTSF) and the profit … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,063 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCost Analysis of K-Out of-n Repairable System with Dependent Failure and Stand by Support Using Kolmogorov's Forward Equations MethodM. Y. HaggagProblem statement: Many authors have studied k-out of-n repairable system with dependent failure and standby support. The question was raised whether the repair and standby units support increase the reliability of the system. Determine the efficiency of repair and standby support on the reliability of the system. Approach: In this study the statistical analysis of k-out of-n repairable system with … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,598 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCost Analysis of Two-Dissimilar-Unit Cold Standby System with three States and Preventive Maintenance Using Linear First Order Differential EquationsM. Y. HaggagProblem statement: Several researchers have studied the reliability behavior of a three state systems, but no attention was paid to the reliability evaluation due to preventive maintenance. The better maintenance of the system originates better reliability. Also, standby support increases the reliability of the system. Approach: Determine the efficacy of preventive maintenance on the reliability and performance of the system. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,873 accessesView PDF Cite
