Item Development of maintenance framework for SMEs by an ISM approach(CRC Press, 2022) Mishra, Rajesh PThe main purpose of the research paper is to develop a new conceptual framework with an analysis of various strategies for SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) which helps to expand, contend and to be successful in the global market taking into consideration their characteristics. Paper commences the review on the framework definitions and considers a comparison of its various properties. It presents the need for a framework and defines its importance in SMEs. Various existing frameworks put forth by academicians would then be taken into consideration, and their advantages and disadvantages from the perspective of SMEs would be examined. Various types of approaches are required to analyze the problems, possibilities, and challenges to success in expansion. The framework could be utilized as a conceptual magnifier for critically evaluating the history and results of SMEs' globalization. The arrangement of this research study focused on challenges experienced by various SMEs, which finally influence their performance. Present work is related to the identification of elements/sub-elements which are already available in published literature.Item SWOT analysis – on maintenance frameworks for SMEs(CRC Press, 2022) Mishra, Rajesh PA 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.Item A multi-attribute decision model for justification of World-Class Maintenance Systems(Inder Science, 2009-04) Mishra, Rajesh PIn recent times, many organisations are failing in their attempt to achieve a world-class status through Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) due to various shortcomings. Hence, in our earlier study, a new framework for World-Class Maintenance Systems (WMS) was proposed to overcome some of these shortcomings. Organisations that are planning to adapt World-Class Manufacturing (WCM) practices such as TPM, WMS etc. require proper justification to convince the top management. Hence, in this paper, an application of a Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) model – namely, the Analytic Hierarchy Binary Model (AHBM) is demonstrated for the justification of WMS. From the extensive analysis of the results, it is found that the WMS is the best among the alternative maintenance systems available.Item A System Framework for a Sustainable Approach to Maintenance(Springer, 2018-02) Mishra, Rajesh PMaintenance has a noteworthy capacity in enhancing performance of facilities, be it excavation of natural resources or manufacturing a small pin. The significant role of the maintenance is mostly about producing a facility with utmost sustainability. For example, what maintenance emphasizes on is that it is more valuable to the users and environment to ensure that the existing facility is in optimum performance and at the same time discouraging the construction of new facilities. The obligations and duties of present-day maintenance associations are principally worried about the formation of sustainable future. This paper aims to propose a system framework for a sustainable approach to maintenance. Sustainable maintenance includes cooperation of numerous frameworks, simple or perplexing, with respect to manufacturing, overhauling, assembly, ecology, economics, society, and environment while carrying out the maintenance act. The proposed write-up is an attempt to move toward a sustainable approach to maintenance in its most ideal path by any sector or industry.Item An AHP model for quantification of benefits of World-class Maintenance Systems(Inder Science, 2007-01) Mishra, Rajesh PIn recent times, organisations are failing in their attempt to adapt and implement Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). Researchers are attributing these failures to the shortcomings of TPM, which resulted in the development of World-class Maintenance Systems (WMS). Different frameworks have been proposed to define and operate world-class maintenance in the literature. A comparative analysis of frameworks in our earlier study revealed various best practices based on which a new framework for WMS has been proposed. Contemporary organisations willing to adapt WMS find it difficult to initiate such a change, as it requires proper justification to convince top management. Further, to initiate the adaptation of WMS as a policy decision, it is necessary to quantify the benefits of WMS. Hence in this paper, an attempt has been made to demonstrate the application of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for the quantification of benefits of WMS. This model showed that implementing WMS would result in overall improvement in the performance of an organisation.
