Implementing the Lean Approach to Reduce Long Waiting Times in Philippine Hospitals
The Philippines, a developing nation in the Far East, is one of the 195 countries in the world that has serious problems within the health care system. Although experts and practitioners...
Systems engineering projects in the Navy require the use of a singular engineeringmethod that lacks tailorability, and while this method works for large scale projects, it has
also caused small-scale projects (those with less than 1000 function points) implementing
MBSE to fall behind schedule in...
This research analyzes the factors within a Department of Defense organization's network-related outage resolution workflow that prolong resolution times. More specifically, how the current inefficiencies within the resolution process effect outage resolution and the management of enterprise...
This praxis addresses the operational dispatch and economic benefit of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) for electric distribution cooperatives in PJM. The applied research uses day-ahead market (DAM) signals and load forecast data from the PJM market to develop a battery Energy Storage...
The most expensive project in human history is the International Space Station (ISS); it has reached $160+ billions in total expenses. Currently, the lifespan of the ISS has been exceeded, and the spacecraft operations is projected for a minimum of 10 years. However, due to its aging technology,...
In the package delivery industry, competitive advantage is changing with the evolution of customer expectation. The United States Postal Service (USPS) started with the delivery of letters, but had to restructure its company when the mailing of letters began to decrease, while simultaneously the...
The US Air Force (USAF)’s goal is to achieve aircraft availability (AA) rates similar to those of the commercial airline industry. Improving AA rates while reducing operations and maintenance (O&M;) costs is a major challenge for the USAF. This Praxis research identifies field-level components...
Current management and technical structures of the electric power system in Togo have shown their limits. Togo continues to suffer from limited access to electric power and endemic electric power shortages resulting in the slow-down of the country’s socio-economic development. For over 43 years,...
Oil and Gas Exploration and Production (E&P;) projects routinely experience cost overruns and delays, with about 64% of new projects exceeding their budgets and almost 75% completed behind schedule partly as a result of non-optimal project designs1. Owing to the highly complex and heterogeneous...
