Section 13.5.6 discusses total productive maintenance (TPM).
1. Describe in 1 or 2 sentences the definition of TPM, and use an example to clarify the definition.
2. Using the formulae 13.24, 13.25, 13.26, and 13.27: calculate each value using an example of
your choice. Explain each fully, as if you were presenting these findings to a stakeholder
community.
Chapter 14 Human Factors
Refer to Figures 14.2, 14.3, and 14.4, and their respective discussions.
– You are on a concept development team for a passenger seat design, to be used on a long
distance commuter train, serving a population of varying ethnic persons, with their respective
human dimensions and possible disabilities.
– Given each train car should hold at most 30 people:
1. Propose a layout most conducive to the population, and the approximate dimensions of the
seats you would design.
2. A hand or computer sketch is fine – please describe the considerations you reviewed to arrive at
your conclusion.
Chapter 15 Design for Logistics and Supportability
Refer to Section 15.3 and Figure 15.4.
– Use Figure 15.4 and describe a system of your choice…what are the important elements you
would diagram, and the next level down that might be important or impact your initial sketch?
1. Describe what you are considering, providing a hand or computer sketch of your diagram.
Chapter 16 and 17: Producibility, Disposability, and Sustainability and Affordability
1. How do the topics in these chapters tie back to chapter 15?
2. Using Figure 17.4, compare the relationships to Figures 16.4 and 15.13 – compare / contrast the
concepts portrayed by these illustrations, and why these concepts are important to the system
lifecycle.
