Failure analysis of railway switches and crossings for the purpose of preventive maintenance.

Jalili Hassankiadeh, Seyedahmad January 2011 (has links)
In the Swedish railway network there are about 12000 units of track switches and crossings, which at 13000 Km, make up about 5.5 percent of the total track length. However, the maintenance cost for S&C is more than 13 percent of the total maintenance cost which is high in comparison with their proportion. The aim of the project is to conduct research into classification of the different modes of failure in S&C components and to perform a statistical analysis to converge the data in order to determine the most important failures that occur in turnouts.

No. of bitstreams: 1 PGEF17MA072.pdf: 1540009 bytes, checksum: 0a6a0c91bcb17bc18be105a058020b75 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-02-20 / Some organizations in the Brazilian forestry industry do not follow the development pace of other industries, or the adoption rate of management and quality methodologies and tools. As result, the low quality and high instability of processes create a lot of waste in the sector. This is intensified when it happens during the harvesting, one of the activities that most contributes to the production costs of a forestry business. This study aimed to evaluate the predictability of timber harvesting process based on critical points identified in the thinning and harvest operations. For this, research was divided in three stages. The first one was mapping the harvesting process and the elaboration of fluxograms. The second stage was the identification, through interviews, and assessment of critical points using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Pareto chart. The third stage was the evaluation of the process using Statistical Process Control (SPC) through attributes and variable in the main failures. In the interviews conducted with workers, seven critical points were identified: damage to the remaining trees, sorting, stump height, dirt in load, knot on the second log, tree left in the field and safety. The evaluation with Pareto chart showed that 80% of the failures identified during harvest are attributed to three causes: damage to the remaining trees, sorting and stump height. The FMEA analysis showed that the failure with highest risk index was knots on the second log, followed by safety. For evaluation with the SPC, damage to remaining trees, sorting and stump height were selected. In general, control charts showed that the forest harvest process was considered unstable and unpredictable, even though it is within the limits defined by the company / No setor florestal brasileiro, algumas organizações não acompanham o ritmo do desenvolvimento de outros setores e da adoção de ferramentas e metodologias de gestão da qualidade. Em função deste atraso, a baixa qualidade e alta instabilidade dos processos, geram grandes desperdícios nas organizações. O fato se agrava quando ocorre na operação de colheita da madeira, uma das atividades que mais contribui nos custos de produção da empresa florestal. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar o processo de colheita florestal de uma empresa quanto a sua previsibilidade com base nos pontos críticos identificados nas operações de desbaste e corte raso. Para isso, a pesquisa foi dividida em três etapas, a primeira foi o mapeamento do processo de colheita e elaboração de fluxogramas. A segunda etapa foi a identificação, por meio de entrevistas, e avaliação dos pontos críticos utilizando a metodologia Failure Mode and Effect Analysis – FMEA e gráfico de Pareto. A terceira fase foi a avaliação do processo empregando o Controle Estatístico do Processo (CEP) por atributos e variáveis nas principais falhas. Nas entrevistas realizadas com os colaboradores, sete pontos críticos foram apontados: danos às árvores remanescentes, sortimento, altura de toco, sujeira na carga, nó na 2ª tora, árvores deixadas no talhão e segurança. Na avaliação com o gráfico de Pareto, observou-se que cerca de 80% dos problemas identificados na colheita da empresa são atribuídos às três primeiras causas supracitadas. A análise com o FMEA indicou que a falha com maior índice de risco foi o nó na 2ª tora, seguido da segurança. Para a avaliação com o CEP, selecionou-se os pontos críticos: danos às árvores remanescentes, sortimento e altura de toco. De maneira geral, os gráficos de controle indicaram que o processo da colheita florestal, apesar de estar dentro dos limites especificados pela empresa, foi considerado instável e não previsível

Implementering av ekodesignmetoder i Nobias befintliga designprocess / Implementation of ecodesign methods into Nobia's design process

Enoksson, Frida January 2017 (has links)
Examensarbetet har genomförts vid Högskolan i Skövde i samverkan med Nobia AB. Målet var att implementera ekodesignmetoder i Nobias befintliga designprocess och att genomföra en fallstudie på en kökslucka. Fallstudien genomfördes för att verifiera ekodesignprocessen och för att föreslå ett lämpligt material till en kökslucka. Under litteraturstudien undersöktes begrepp såsom hållbar utveckling, ekodesign och livscykel. Intervjuer genomfördes för att undersöka Nobias designprocess och för att identifiera aktiviteterna i varje fas i processen. Faserna var Idégenerering, Konceptutveckling, Produktutveckling och Industrialisering. Flera alternativa ekodesignmetoder studerades för att undersöka om de var lämpliga att implementera i Nobias befintliga designprocess, bland annat Statusanalys och olika Checklistor. De förväntade egenskaperna för ekodesignprocessen sammanställdes i en kravspecifikation. Ekodesignmetoderna som implementerades i Nobias befintliga designprocess resulterade i en ekodesignprocess, som bestod av Ekostrategihjul, Philips five fast, Jämförelsematris, Ekodesignportfolio, Miljöriskanalys och Scorecard. Fallstudien inleddes med skapandet av en kravspecifikation beträffande materialets förväntade egenskaper. De mest intressanta materialen var Medium Density Fibreboard, bambu och gran. Genom en analys av olika material ansågs gran vara det bästa materialet, eftersom det medförde minst utsläpp vid transport, tillgången är god samt är lokalt producerat. Det framkom att tillämpningen av ekodesign inom produktutveckling medför många fördelar, som till exempel en trivsam arbetsplats, motiverade medarbetare och en mer hållbar designprocess. En hållbar designprocess bidrar till att utveckla hållbara produkter, vilket bidrar till en bättre miljö. / The bachelor project has been carried out at the University of Skövde in collaboration with Nobia AB. The purpose of the project was to implement eco-design methods into the company’s existing design process and to accomplish a case study of a cabinet door. The purpose of the case study was to verify the proposed eco-design process and suggest a material for a cabinet door. Sustainable development, eco-design and lifecycle were studied during the literature study. Interviews were carried out to study the design process at Nobia and to identify the different activities in every phase of the process. The phases were Idea Generation, Concept Development, Product Development and Industrialization. Several eco-design methods were studied to assess their potential to be implemented into Nobia’s existing design process, for example Status Analysis and various Checklists. The expected characteristics of the eco-design process were compiled into a requirement specification. The methods which were implemented into Nobia’s existing design process resulted in an Eco-design process which consisted of Ekostrategihjul, Philips five fast, Jämförelsematris, Eco-design portfolio, Environmental Failure Mode and Effect Analysis and Scorecard. The case study was initiated by compiling a requirement specification. The most promising materials were Medium Density Fibreboard, bamboo and fir. Through analysis of various materials fir was considered as the best material because of low levels of pollution during transportation, good access to the raw material and it is also locally manufactured. The results show that the use of eco-design within product development entails many advantages, such as, a pleasant place of work, motivated staff, and a more sustainable design process. A sustainable design process will contribute to the development of sustainable products, which entails a better environment.
