The Decision Support (DS) topic of the Network Enabled Capability for Through Life Systems Engineering (NECTISE) project aims to provide organisational through-life decision support for the products and services that BAE Systems deliver. The topic consists of five streams that cover resource...

The majority of classic SPC methodologies assume a steady-state (i.e., static) process behavior (i.e., the process mean and variance are constant) without the influence of the dynamic behavior (i.e., an intended or unintended shift in the process mean or variance). Traditional SPC has been...

This paper examines the current No-Claim Discount (NCD) system used in Ghana’s auto insurance market as inefficient and outmoded and, therefore, proposes an alternative optimal Bonus-Malus System (BMS) intended to meet the present market conditions and demand. It appears that the existing BMS...

In this study, thermal interface material is used in photovoltaic-thermoelectric coupling device to enhance the utilization of solar energy. An operating system including cooling equipment is established. The output performance evolutions of PV–TE coupling device are carried out based on...

We present a two-stage scheduling approach including proactive and reactive scheduling to solve the ground resource scheduling problem with uncertain arrival time. In the first stage, an integer programming model is constructed to minimize the delay and transfer costs. After solving this model,...
