This paper describes the development of a model to predict the hourly cost of downtime (using regression equations) for tracked hydraulic excavators operating in the UK opencast mining industry. A three-stage process was utilized for the model's deve

The financial success or otherwise of a maintenance strategy can be determined realistically only when actual costs are compared with target ‘predicted’ values. This is because, in the absence of accurate cost control mechanisms, maintenance expe

Notes that the real test of maintenance stratagem success (or failure in financial terms) can only be resolved when a comparison of machine maintenance costs can be made to some benchmark standard. Presents a comparative study between two models deve

A model is presented that predicts the total cost of plant maintenance (i.e. direct cost of maintenance plus indirect cost of lost production) and is derived studying a random sample of tracked hydraulic excavators. Analysis is based on the machine h

A computerized model to optimize location of a group of tower cranes is presented. Location criteria are balanced workload, minimum likelihood of conflicts with each other, and high efficiency of operations. Three submodels are also presented. First,

The construction industry relies increasingly on profits generated from high utilisation of mechanisation. Interruption of this mechanical supply not only incurs the “tangible” costs of labour, replacement parts and consumables, but also the less

Clients' needs are inadequately evaluated in project schemes. Without a precise establishment of clients' preferences, the essential criteria for project implementation and especially contractor evaluation cannot be appreciated fully. It is not surpr
