  • Reliability analysis using simulation modelling 
    Claasen, S.J. (Schalk Johannes); Kruger, P.S. (Paul Stephanus), 1944- (1987-06)
    The reliability analysis of complex systems may often become unmanageable, especially when state or time dependent failure rates, repair facilities and standby operations are present in a system. This paper describes the ...
  • Reliability centred maintenance for industrial use: significant advances for the new millennium 
    Coetzee, J.L.; Claasen, S.J. (Schalk Johannes) (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2002)
    Maintenance organisations have to obtain the correct strategic ’mix’ to ensure success. This includes having a strategically sound maintenance policy and managerial procedures, a well thought through maintenance plan, a ...
  • Reliability stochastic optimization for an n-stage series system with m chance constraints : research letter 
    Yadavalli, Venkata S. Sarma; Malada, Awelani; Charles, V. (Academy of Science of South Africa, 2007-11)
    This paper addresses the chance constraints reliability stochastic optimization (CCRSO) problem, for which the objective is to maximize system reliability for the given chance constraints. A method is illustrated to determine ...
  • Repositioning a country for global manufacturing competitiveness : a case of South Africa 
    Gates, Gareth Earle; Adetunji, Olufemi (Emerald, 2020-01)
    PURPOSE : This study aims to develop an artifact to measure the level of manufacturing competitiveness of a country in the global context and provide a suitable interpretation mechanism for the measured values, and to ...
  • REXS : a financial risk diagnostic expert system 
    Richter, W.; Kruger, P.S. (Paul Stephanus), 1944- (South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 1989-06)
    Artificial intelligence techniques are rapidly emerging as important contributors to more effective management. One of the greatest growth areas probably lies in the use of Expert System methodology for supporting managerial ...
  • The road most travelled : the impact of urban road infrastructure on supply chain network vulnerability 
    Viljoen, N.M. (Nadia); Joubert, Johannes Willem (Springer, 2018-03)
    Making a supply chain more resilient and making it more efficient are often diametrically opposed objectives. Managers have to make informed trade-offs when designing their supply chain networks. There are many methods ...
  • Selecting a public service delivery assessment tool for South Africa : an application of the AHP method 
    Ajayi, O.; De Vries, Marne (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2022-05-06)
    Many service delivery performance assessment (SDPA) tools exist globally that address the need to measure actual performance against pre-defined standards and to take corrective action to improve service delivery. The ...
  • Selecting a scaled agile approach for a fin-tech company 
    Christopher, Lauren Alisa; De Vries, Marne (Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2020-11-11)
    Agile methodologies were created for small co-located teams; but their benefits are now needed for projects with multiple, geographically dispersed teams. This raises the issue of scaled Agile — the modification of Agile ...
  • Silindriese interpolasie 
    Lubbe, Andre J. (South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 1992-12)
    In the manufacturing process of cylindrical cams with numerically controlled milling machines, the programming as well as the machining of accurate profiles normally turn out to be problematic. In an effort to overcome ...
  • Simulation modelling as a tool for performing availability and sensitivity analysis
