  • a state of the art review of fmea fmeca including patents
    Computer Science Review, 2017
    Co-Authors: Christian Spreafico, Davide Russo, Caterina Rizzi
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a critical review of Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Although the method is almost 70 years old, in literature there are still many researchers, both from academy and industry, devoted to improve it and overcoming unsolved and still open problems. The aim of this work consists in analysing a representative pool of scientific papers (220) and patents (109), in order to have an overview of the evolution of the method and try to understand if the efforts spent to improve it effectively answer to the several criticisms found in literature. All documents have been classified according to authors, source, and four technical classes dealing with the applicability of the method, representation of the cause and effect chain, risk analysis and integration with the problem-solving phase. A detailed analysis of the results allowed us to identify the most current problems, the improvement paths, and which other Methods and Tool are proposed to be integrated with FMEA.

  • evaluating software engineering Methods and Tools part 9 quantitative case study methodology
    ACM Sigsoft Software Engineering Notes, 1998
    Co-Authors: Barbara Kitchenham, Lesley Pickard
    Abstract:

    This article is the first of three articles describing how to undertake a quantitative case study based on work done as part of the DESMET project [1], [2]. In the context of Methods and Tool evaluations, case studies are a means of evaluating Methods and Tools as part of the normal software development activities undertaken by an organisation. The main benefit of such case studies is that they allow the effect of new Methods and Tools to be assessed in realistic situations. Thus, case studies provide a cost-effective means of ensuring that process changes provide the desired results. However, unlike formal experiments and surveys, case studies do not have a well-understood theoretical basis. This series of articles provides guidelines for organising and analysing case studies so that your investigations of new technologies will produce meaningful results.

  • evaluating software engineering Methods and Tool part 5 the influence of human factors
    ACM Sigsoft Software Engineering Notes, 1997
    Co-Authors: Barbara Kitchenham, Lindsay Jones
    Abstract:

    In previous articles, we have considered a number of general issues concerned with evaluating Methods and Tools. In the next few articles we describe how to perform a specific type of evaluation exercise called Feature Analysis.This article discusses the principles of feature analysis and describes how to identify features and establish a means of scoring products against those features. Later articles consider how to plan a feature-based evaluation and how to analyze the results of an evaluation.

  • Evaluating software engineering Methods and Tool—part 4: the influence of human factors
    ACM Sigsoft Software Engineering Notes, 1996
    Co-Authors: Chris Sadler, Barbara Kitchenham
    Abstract:

    In previous articles, we have described the range of Methods available if you want to evaluate a software engineering method/Tool and the criteria you need to consider to select a method appropriate to your individual circumstances. In future articles we will describe some guidelines to help you perform quantitative case studies and feature analysis. However, in this article we would like to review some of the human factors issues that can affect an evaluation exercise.

  • evaluating software engineering Methods and Tool part 2 selecting an appropriate evaluation method technical criteria
    ACM Sigsoft Software Engineering Notes, 1996
    Co-Authors: Barbara Kitchenham
    Abstract:

    In the previous article about the DESMET evaluation methodology, I identified nine different types of evaluation:1. Quantitative Experiments2. Quantitative Case Studies3. Quantitative Surveys4. Feature Analysis---Screening mode5. Feature Analysis---Case Study6. Feature Analysis---Experiment7. Feature Analysis---Survey8. Qualitative Effects Analysis9. Benchmarking.This article considers the way in which different evaluation requirements and organisation capabilities affect your choice of evaluation method. Your particular choice of evaluation method will be affected by your evaluation goals, the characteristics of the object you want to evaluate, the characteristics of the organisation you work in, and the limitations and constraints placed on the evaluation exercise. These different factors interact in complicated ways, so it is difficult to identify which evaluation method is the most appropriate.The specific criteria that the DESMET methodology uses to determine your circumstances are:1. The evaluation context.2. The nature of the expected impact of using the method/Tool.3. The nature of the object (i.e., method/Tool/generic method) to be evaluated.4. The scope of impact of the method/Tool.5. The maturity of the method/Tool.6. The learning curve associated with the method/Tool.7. The measurement capability of the organisation undertaking the evaluation.These issues are discussed in the following sections.

  • evaluating software engineering Methods and Tool part 1 the evaluation context and evaluation Methods
    ACM Sigsoft Software Engineering Notes, 1996
    Co-Authors: Barbara Kitchenham
    Abstract:

    In the last five issues of SIGSOFT Notes, Shari Lawrence Pfleeger has discussed the use of formal experiments to evaluate software engineering Methods and Tools [1]. Shari's articles were based on work she performed for the U.K. DESMET project which aimed to develop a methodology for evaluating software engineering Methods and Tools.The DESMET project identified a number of useful evaluation Methods in addition to formal experiments, and Shari asked me to continue this column by describing some of other Methods. As a starting point, I will give an overview of the scope of the DESMET methodology in this article and describe the nine different evaluation Methods DESMET identified. In the next few articles I will discuss criteria for selecting a specific method in particular circumstances. Later I will present the DESMET guidelines for performing quantitative case studies and feature analysis.

  • sustainable supply chain network design an optimization oriented review
    Omega-international Journal of Management Science, 2015
    Co-Authors: Majid Eskandarpour, Pierre Dejax, Joe Miemczyk, Olivier Peton
    Abstract:

    Supply chain network design (SCND) models and Methods have been the subject of several recent literature review surveys, but none of them explicitly includes sustainable development as a main characteristic of the problem considered. The aim of this review is to bridge this gap. The paper analyzes 87 papers in the field of supply chain network design, covering mathematical models that include economic factors as well as environmental and/or social dimensions. The review is organized along four research questions asking (i) which environmental and social objectives are included, (ii) how are they integrated into the models, (iii) which Methods and Tool are used and finally (iv) which industrial applications and contexts are covered in these models. The review finds that there are a number of limitations to the current research in sustainable SCND. The narrow scope of environmental and social measures in current models should go beyond limited greenhouse gas indicators to broader life-cycle approaches including new social metrics. The more effective inclusion of uncertainty and risk in models with improved multi-objective approaches is also needed. There are also significant gaps in the sectors used to test models limiting more general applicability. The paper concludes with promising new avenues of research to more effectively include sustainability into SCND models.
