    SWOT analysis – on maintenance frameworks for SMEs
    (CRC Press, 2022) Mishra, Rajesh P
    A framework is a collection of various ideas, concepts, circumstances and beliefs that help to establish how anything will be detected, realized and constructed. It is a collection of tasks and explains how they are interconnected inside a structure. Generally, a framework is an actual or theoretical structure planned to assist as facilitation or direct the development of anything that extends the construction into anything beneficial. It can also be considered as a basic structure of hypothetical rules or principles of science. Framework development is based upon existing frameworks of SMEs (Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises) and the variable needs of the customers in the market. Development involved in the classification of various processes resulted in the conceptual framework. In existing and available frameworks, some are trustworthy and reliable, while a lot of them are weak and not useful. This chapter considered the importance of a maintenance framework in the environment of SMEs. The main aim of SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis is to utilize firmly established methodologies – strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats – with the intention to identify the key elements for the maintenance framework.

    Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats analysis of lean implementation frameworks
    (Inder Science, 2014-04) Mishra, Rajesh P
    The aim of this paper is to use the SWOT analysis that can be used as a decision-making aid to choose an appropriate framework according to the industry needs. Various databases were searched for research on lean implementation and the obstacles to successful lean implementation. Following this, analysis was carried out to identify the major success factors and an ideal lean implementation framework. Based on SWOT analysis it has found that every framework has its own sets of strengths and weaknesses. Decision makers can know the suitability of different framework. But most important is what model which suit to most of the situations. This paper developed a lean implementation model which is more generic, has overcome the most of the issues related to implementation compared to other frameworks. The lean implementation frameworks identified are not industry centric but more generic in nature.

    A SWOT analysis of total productive maintenance frameworks
    (Inder Science, 2008-01) Mishra, Rajesh P
    In the literature of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), a large number of frameworks have been proposed by different authors and consultants. If an organisation or a maintenance manager has to make a strategic decision of implementing TPM, it may not be easy for them to identify a suitable framework from a plethora of frameworks that are available in literature. Hence, in this paper, an attempt has been made to perform a comparative study of these frameworks using a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis. In addition to this, the SWOT analysis helped us consolidate a list of critical success factors for TPM apart from identifying the potential weaknesses and threats. Further, it can be concluded that implementation of TPM is by no means an easy task, as it is heavily burdened by weaknesses and threats. However, if an organisation implementing TPM gives due considerations to these weaknesses and threats, it can utilise the significant strengths and opportunities offered by TPM to achieve a competitive advantage.

    Urban Policymaking for a Developing City Using a Hybridized Technique Based on SWOT, AHP, and GIS
    (ASCE, 2021) Singhal, Anupam; Routroy, Srikanta
    The high rate of population growth in the 21st century is causing mass migration from rural to urban settlements. Rapid urbanization in developing countries generally follows unregulated growths, urban sprawls, and inefficiencies in city planning. With the trend of rapid growth in developing countries, it has been very difficult to maintain an environmentally sustainable and socially resilient policy framework. This study proposes an urban development policy framework for sustainable planning in developing cities by coupling geographic information system (GIS) geospatial zonal analysis with strength, weakness, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) model. The hybridized approach incorporates critical issues such as disaster impact, slum settlements, infrastructure deficit, and noise pollution in urban planning. A case study of the city of Delhi was taken to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed framework in developing cities. The novelty of the study is that it proposes a highly flexible urban development plan based on the integrated GIS and SWOT-AHP methodology that is specific to the needs of developing economies and developing cities. The methodology also puts a strong emphasis on disaster prevention and response in the urban development plan. Results from the GIS–SWOT-AHP model can be used for region-based urban planning that prioritizes regions needing critical attention and directs the development of the city toward a sustainable future.

    Development of supply chain risk mitigation strategy: a case study
    (Inder Science, 2014) Routroy, Srikanta; Pradhan, Sudeep Kumar
    The supply chain managers are making efforts to identify, assess, manage and mitigate the supply chain risks successfully to survive in the long run and to attain competitive advantages. The failure to manage these risks effectively can have a significant negative impact on supply chain performance. Therefore, the supply chain risks should be identified, quantified and analysed and it will form the basis for developing the supply chain mitigation strategies. Therefore, a complete and structured methodology is proposed for analysing supply chain risks and developing the supply chain risk mitigation strategies in a manufacturing supply chain environment. The application of proposed methodology has been demonstrated with a manufacturing case environment. It will be quite useful in the environment where quantitative information related to supply chain risks is not available.
