It was created to focus on secondary education issues in reaction to the perception of national influence exercised by the primary education sector. The SSTA is affiliated to the STUC [3] and Education International.
Static timing analysis. Static timing analysis (STA) is a simulation method of computing the expected timing of a synchronous digital circuit without requiring a simulation of the full circuit. High-performance integrated circuits have traditionally been characterized by the clock frequency at which they operate.
The VentureStar was a proposed SSTO spaceplane. A single-stage-to-orbit ( SSTO) vehicle reaches orbit from the surface of a body using only propellants and fluids and without expending tanks, engines, or other major hardware. The term usually, but not exclusively, refers to reusable vehicles. [1] To date, no Earth-launched SSTO launch vehicles ...
In the United States Department of Defense, the Integrated Master Plan ( IMP) and the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) are important program management tools that provide significant assistance in the planning and scheduling of work efforts in large and complex materiel acquisitions. [1] The IMP is an event-driven plan that documents the ...
Level of Repair Analysis. Level of Repair Analysis ( LORA) is used as an analytical methodology used to determine where an item will be replaced, repaired, or discarded based on cost considerations and operational readiness requirements. For a complex engineering system containing thousands of assemblies, sub-assemblies, components, organized ...
Reliability-centered maintenance ( RCM) is a concept of maintenance planning to ensure that systems continue to do what their user require in their present operating context. [1] Successful implementation of RCM will lead to increase in cost effectiveness, reliability, machine uptime, and a greater understanding of the level of risk that the ...
The corrective and preventive action is designed by a team that includes quality assurance personnel and personnel involved in the actual observation point of non-conformance. It must be systematically implemented and observed for its ability to eliminate further recurrence of such non-conformation. The Eight disciplines problem solving method ...
Deferred maintenance. Deferred maintenance is the practice of postponing maintenance activities such as repairs on both real property (i.e. infrastructure) and personal property (i.e. machinery) in order to save costs, meet budget funding levels, or realign available budget monies. The failure to perform needed repairs could lead to asset ...
