Total productive maintenance is a method of”(TPM), which once again finds its origins in Japan. TPM is designed to achieve a one hundred percent availability of machines and equipment.

The fundamental innovation of the TPM concept was also not only the maintenance Department for the process of improvement was responsible, but rather everyone in it were included. By means of joint care and maintenance of the machines production and maintenance, communication between the two areas is improved, avoided idling and ensures flexible action. The overall equipment efficiency of a company is composed of the availability rate, the performance index and the Quality rate together. These figures are influenced by the six great loss sources, which are disposed in turn represents a job TPM. The sources of loss is losses due to idle and short standstill, lack of qualification to system failures through errors, long set-up and make-ready work, difficulties, the operator, as well as wear and tear.

Improving maintenance”looking for ways to increase the reliability and performance of the systems to ultimately achieve an increase in system efficiency. In the course of enhancing maintenance”improvement teams are looking for measures to reduce system downtime and set-up times. The optimization”continuously improves the necessary for execution of the scheduled maintenance program processes, such as the repair times, spare parts Exchange, the spare parts storage and data management. Just the data management a key role here: so, but a detailed documentation of all irregularities, represents the base of each improvement. In the course of the documentation, data such as plant, machinery breakdowns, errors, cleaning and maintenance, repairs, Verschleissbedingter Exchange should as well as spare parts optimal way are recorded in a maintenance log book.

The PDF Association today announced the release of the Matterhorn Protocol version 1.0. Thus, the practical implementation of the PDF/UA standards (ISO 14289) for creation and use of accessible PDF documents is being driven significantly. The PDF technology is an extensive and complex architecture for the representation of various documents.

Thus, users who use special tools such as screen readers, special mouse or voice output and input, with electronic content in PDF documents can interact. Credit: Energy Capital Partners-2011.

The Matterhorn Protocol was developed to promote the introduction of PDF/UA in practice. It consists of 31 test sections, which are composed of 136 individual, precisely defined error conditions. This facilitates software vendors developing programs for the creation and review PDF/UA-compliant PDF files and forms. “” Each Matterhorn test section forms a special range of compliance requirements, such as such as setting the text language “or metadata”. Each error condition each define a specific test document, page, object or JavScript level. A part of the error conditions can be tested programmatically by a software, whereas a number of other error conditions must be checked interactively. “A typical example of an condition of error in which human support is required, headings are not marked”. If an error condition such as alternate text for an image is missing”exists, can are determined automatically by a program.

“The Swiss Foundation, available for free PDF accessibility checker (PAC 2) access for all” is the first tool that is based on the Protocol of the Matterhorn. It allows PDF files to PDF/UA conformance testing users.

Better Software

Updates iX Special Edition with two articles by imbus authors Mohrendorf, June 21, 2013 – mistake in software development just? And agility and process maturity models do not match? That there is another way, consume two articles from the new iX special issue better software”, now appears. We have written the article Thomas Rossner imbus test experts, Dr. Christian Brandes and Joachim Hofer. To err is human. How to error in the development of software can thus avoid? Joachim Hofer enters his post exactly this question and presents strategies and specific techniques for preventing errors. Studies have shown that errors always occur when people are cognitively overloaded. This can easily be the case just in software development: it must for example remember where there was what code changes, which must still be made and what are the associated requirements. In addition, perhaps, trying to keep the Inbox in the eye, or shortly will help colleagues who have a question. Around here Mistakes to avoid, must reduce the complexity of the work environment. Often help already organisational measures. However, it can be at least as promising, to apply to the code to be developed and to reduce its complexity. Hofer’s articles presents the techniques, which provides the software development for this, and shows how they relieve the everyday work. The project management, but also must vote for a high employee satisfaction and the achievement of project objectives. Agile models are more popular than ever. After all, they allow teams to adapt quickly to changing customer and market requirements and become steadily better.
