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...

Two different system modelling can be distinguished in life cycle assessment: attributional and consequential. Attributional modelling is used to describe the present state of the examined system and is characterised with use of allocation, no substitutions, market average suppliers, and cut-off principle. Consequential modelling is used to describ...

In this paper, a model based on numerical solution of two ordinary differential equations is used to obtain the water level in the surge tank and the static pressure in the headrace tunnel – the properties of essential importance for the functioning of the water supply system during the turbine shut-off. The model allows a fast and reliable s...

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...

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...

Bearing in mind that the wheel sleeves of motor vehicles are exposed to strong dynamic loads, and knowing that these are very responsible parts of the constructions, the need for permanent researches of the influence of certain variables on the process of production of them is imposed. The prepared part which, in this case, is obtained by forging f...

The fracture of a part or element of a construction can also be defined as a macroscopic separation of the material that leads to the loss of a solid body load. The fracture is the end result of plastic deformation and occurs when all the potential of the material in terms of elastic and plastic deformation is exhausted. This is the worst case of e...
