The main focus of this paper is to present the TQM practices of 593 companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, our results confirm that there are statistically significant differences in TQM practices between firms in a highly competitive and less competitive environment, as well as between firms with and without ISO certificates. TQM practi...

In this paper the influence of different machining parameters on the surface roughness, cutting force and material removal rate during turning process using MQLC (minimum quantity lubrication and cooling) system was investigated. The experimental plan was defined using Taguchi’s method. Orthogonal array L9 (34) was selected for four input par...

Spare parts are parts of machines, plants and equipment (technical systems) that should be available for replacement when canceling them for various reasons - breaks, abrasion and deformation. By replacing them, the observed technical system places itself in the possibility of functional use. In order to enable the possibility of eliminating failur...

This paper deals with the resistance of the shed of a steel hall in Drvar according to technical regulations for snow from 1961 and EC1 regulations. The paper aims to check the reliability of the shed with probabilistic approach. That also implies calibration of the steel hall construction analyzed with classic deterministic method. Statical system...

The paper analyzes the behavior of the plastic container during the buckling, ie during the load effect on the containers. The analysis was experimentally performed on several different types of containers. The container material is polypropylene. Experimental determination of pressure force and corresponding deformation was performed in thelaborat...

The paper presents the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method for interface capturing in free surface flows in OpenFOAM® software. The VOF-model utilises an algebraic compressive scheme to effectively shrink the transitional region between the liquid and the gaseous phase. The capabilities of the model are demonstrated by simulating two-dimensionalaxisym...
