Bill Ruh, who was hired from Cisco to get the operation going, says there are three main areas of work: how to optimise the performance of each machine (making GE's jet engines burn less fuel during landing, say); predicting when a machine will need repairs, to avoid unplanned downtime; and optimising the overall performance of the system in which the machine operates (a railway or wind farm, say).
The strategy aims to optimise the overall energy flow in the electrical system that minimises the cost of power consumption from the grid.
This paper explains how to optimise the overall power consumption of a plant, to reduce the capital costs and to evaluate the most economical energy recovery device.
The proposed representation allows the due date assignment rule and dispatching rules to be evolved at the same time, which provides the chance to optimise the overall performance of the dynamic production systems.
The vast proliferation and widespread use of a variety of mobile devices in the heterogeneous networking environment necessitates the introduction of lightweight management mechanisms to ease the administration complexity and optimise the overall system performance.
Such an environment raises an unprecedented demand for the dynamic, lightweight management of the multitude of mobile devices, to ease the complexity of their administration and optimise the overall system performance [1, 2].
Since the load situation is very dependent on the location of the small cell and is varying heavily over time, a dynamic adaptation of the cell range expansion is an attractive solution to optimise the overall system performance.
When optimising the overall output of PV-T systems for combined heating and/or cooling provision, this solution can cover more than 60% of the heating and about 50% of the cooling demands of households in the urban environment.
Attempting to maximise the organisational design by constantly restructuring without an operationally sound cause (e.g., for purely political reasons) sub-optimises the overall system.
Maximising the personnel subsystem, as exemplified by expensive behaviour and attitude modification training without consideration of the organisation's technology or other sociotechnical characteristics, sub-optimises the overall system.
