A continual improvement process, also often called a continuous improvement process (abbreviated as CIP or CI ), is an ongoing effort to improve products, services, or processes. [1] These efforts can seek "incremental" improvement over time or "breakthrough" improvement all at once. [2] Delivery (customer valued) processes are constantly ...
Supply chain management is a cross-functional approach that includes managing the movement of raw materials into an organization, certain aspects of the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the movement of finished goods out of the organization and toward the end consumer.
Predictive maintenance differs from preventive maintenance because it relies on the actual condition of equipment, rather than average or expected life statistics, to predict when maintenance will be required. Machine Learning approaches are adopted for the definition of the actual condition of the system and for forecasting its future states. [3]
Status quo is a Latin phrase meaning the existing state of affairs, particularly with regard to social, economic, legal, environmental, political, religious, scientific or military issues. [ 1] In the sociological sense, the status quo refers to the current state of social structure or values. [ 2] With regard to policy debate, it means how ...
Condition-based maintenance was introduced to try to maintain the correct equipment at the right time. CBM is based on using real-time data to prioritize and optimize maintenance resources. Observing the state of the system is known as condition monitoring. Such a system will determine the equipment's health, and act only when maintenance is ...
Underload (vigilance conditions) can also negatively affect SA. The complexity of the systems and situations a person is in can negatively affect SA by making it difficult to form accurate mental models. Automation is a major factor reducing situation awareness in many environments (e.g. aviation, driving, power operations).
Contingency management. Contingency management ( CM) is the application of the three-term contingency (or operant conditioning ), which uses stimulus control and consequences to change behavior. CM originally derived from the science of applied behavior analysis (ABA), but it is sometimes implemented from a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT ...
Condition monitoring. Condition monitoring (colloquially, CM) is the process of monitoring a parameter of condition in machinery (vibration, temperature etc.), in order to identify a significant change which is indicative of a developing fault. It is a major component of predictive maintenance.
